Chapter 7: Midnight kiss
One week.
That's all he had left.
And the one person he had planned to be with, was preparing for his wedding which he so called 'didn't want'. Georges huffed, wondering how in the world he got in the position that he was in now. He had been invited to the 'formal engagement' of Robert and Noelle.
Who sends out the wedding invitation before the engagement party invitation anyways?
Georges looked at his feet, feeling drained.
This must be one rushed marriage…
Henri and Alain had been invited, along with Freddy…
The party was going to be tomorrow night.
He looked through his closet, coming to the conclusion that he had nothing to wear.
He wouldn't tell his mother that. If he did, he might end up in a diamond studded frock- and high heels.
"Georgie! Frederic is on the phone!" Georges looked up and a knowing smile graced his features.
Then before he knew it, there he was standing along with his three friends, in front of the 'Onyx Estate'. It seemed larger than he remembered, and the garden was lit up with Christmas-like lights, and it was packed with people.
"Georges come on!" Henri said, pulling on his hand.
They entered the house, where waiters wandered around with drinks. Then, someone caught his eye, standing alongside a tall woman in a red gown. Robert. He looked handsome, he was smiling, his arm wrapped around the woman's. Georges looked away.
Then the rest of the night seemed to drag on, the lights made him wince- and the guests radiant smiles were starting to get to him. The four friends sat in their own corner, sneaking in booze, until almost all of them were just about drunk. And, unluckily, that was when Robert decided to pop in. Georges had fallen asleep on a couch there, his angelic face made Robert smile.
Everyone had practically left by around 12 (pm), Alain had driven Henri home, Freddy had gotten a ride- but it seemed in everyone's leaving- one had been forgotten. Georges still lay on the couch, Robert knelt down, -gently brushed his own lips against George's, then called George's mother to come pick him up.
