I stepped into the party hall. It was election day and to be honest, I wasn't that nervous.
The caterers and decorators were finishing up with the stage and TVs that were being hung around the room. The red, white, and blue streamers fell from the ceiling. The flag of New York hung behind the podium that sat on the stage.
"Do you like it?" Miss White said coming up behind.
"You've really out done yourself. It's great, worth every penny."
"Yea, well, it was nothing really. You know after tonight, you won't need a campaign manager."
"Yea, I was thinking maybe you could take the assistant job that is open. Weldon says that it would help. And no matter how much you annoy me, you're damn good at your job."
"I accept. My salary better increase though." She laughed.
"Of course."
"Jasper!" I heard a voice yell from behind me.
I turned around to see Alexis being held back by security. I walked up to her with a smirk.
"Excuse me, Miss, but do I know you?"
"Haha, very funny." She said glaring at me.
"She's fine. Let her through." I said taking her hand and leading her to the bar, ordering waters for the both of us.
"Stepping up security?"
"Yea, Miss White says that tonight should be the only night I need one. He is only here to guard the door. What do you think? I mean it looks great, huh?"
"It looks amazing. I'm so proud of you. I mean even though I asked you to call of your campaign, I am very happy that you didn't listen to me." She said taking a sip of her water.
"I'm glad you like it. So, I won't be able to pick you up tonight. I have to stay here and greet guests."
"Ok, that's fine. Grams is really excited about tonight. She says this is the perfect place to meet single, rich men."
"I guess I will be warning guests as well." I laughed.
"Well, I have to go. I'm getting my nails done with Kate. She wants to spend time with me."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Yea, I mean my own mother doesn't really want to spend time with me unless she gets something out of it. Gina never really cared at all. So, having Kate want to and the fact that she enjoys spending time with me is great."
"Who wouldn't enjoy spending time with you?" I said leaning closer while she smiled. Suddenly her eyes shifted from mine to behind me.
"Jasper, we have last minute details to go over…" Miss White interrupted from over my shoulder.
"Yea, I'll be right there." I said not taking my eyes off Alexis. "Have a good time. I love you. See you later." I said leaning and pecking her quickly on her lips.
"Ok. Don't work too hard because we are partying tonight." She said grabbing her purse and walking towards the front entrance.
It was going to be impossible to celebrate with my father attending.
