Crusoe chuckled out loud and rubbed his chin.
‘That it?’ he asked but of course, Terry did not answer.
Dolly and Jake came walking in with Dolly holding a tray of champagne flutes with the sparling drink in them, and Jake holding about four bottles in both hands. He dropped the bottles on the table but Dolly began to share the drinks.
“You both stop being children and settle down,” she scolded Vanessa and Shem who were still in a banter. The two sat still immediately but were still dishing each other vulgarity with their eyes.
Dolly served the drinks to Wayne and Olive first before going to Terry and Crusoe. Jericho was just seated looking into his phone.
“Could you please give us some we time and drop the phone? Mr Jericho Jersey?” Dolly politely called his attention. Jericho looked up at her and gave her a dimpled smile.
“Sorry, was just making plans to take a pretty girl out on a date,” he said and turned off the face of the phone. Dolly chuckled softly and handed him a glass.
“Wish all men were sometimes like you. Girls appreciate night out dinners,” she stated and walked away to Vanessa and Shem. She had just made a simple statement and didn’t put it to heart, but Terry felt terrible because he thought she was referring to him who refused to go out for dinner with her.
“All right everyone! Let’s get this little get together started!” Jake shouted and stepped into the middle of the room. He raised his glass up and everyone looked at him.
“We begin by giving a lovely toast to the only fated mates in the house. Alpha Wayne Knight and the ever beautiful and alluring Olive Roger, our future Luna,” he said professionally and everyone cheered at them both.
“Up everyone,” Jake said with a hand gesture at them to stand. They all stood and Wayne and Olive were the last to stand. Wayne wrapped his arm around Olive’s waist as they stood.
“All right, everyone. Let’s make a lovely toast. Now Shem, would you be kind enough to toast to your brother and his mate?” Jake asked Shem. Olive chuckled and looked at Shem, the flirt.
“Better not flirt with my woman while making that toast,” Wayne joked and everyone laughed including Shem.
“To the handsome Wayne and spectacularly beautiful female named Olive. Wishing you the best mated life the moon could ever offer and a lifetime filled with bliss. Above all, I wish you both would produce enough pups before the end of this year!” Shem toasted and the guys laughed. Wayne chuckled and looked at Olive to see her reaction. She was blushing and beaming ever so joyously.
“To Wayne and Olive!” Jake called out.
“To Wayne and Olive!” everyone else echoed with their glasses in the air. After that, they clicked the glasses and took sips. Jake walked to Wayne and Olive and clicked their glasses.
“I’m so happy for you, bro. So happy,” Jake said and Wayne hugged him.
“I hope you find your mate too. And that very soon,” he said to Jake who laughed. Jake looked at Olive.
“I hope she takes after Olive’s beauty and bravery,” he said and Olive laughed.
“Congratulations, Olive. I’m proud of you,” he added and Olive hugged him.
“Thank you so much, Jake,” she appreciated and he patted her back.
“Enjoy your evening,” he said with a lift of his glass before going to the guys. Jericho and Vanessa came up to Olive and Wayne next.
“I wish to be like you in the future, Alpha. Who knows, I might get lucky to find a female too,” Jericho stated and Wayne laughed.
“You bet you would!” he replied and clicked glasses with him. Vanessa clicked hers with Olive and then hugged her.
“If only Cynthia could see this,” Vanessa whispered and Olive laughed.
“I would love to see the look on her face. Then punch her nose and watch her bleed,” Olive joked and the two ladies laughed.
“Thank you for all your help, Vanessa. You were so fast when I called asking for those pictures. I never even knew you had everything intact in your phone.”
“Oh, I had saved most of them to my drive. I didn’t even know you would ever be needing them when I transferred them from your phone that day.”
“Thank God I even had them saved on that phone. I guess everything does happen for a reason.”
After Wayne had told Olive that a trusted blogger would be writing an article concerning her past, she remembered that she had pictures to prove them. The only problem was the pictures were in her former phone which she must have misplaced while going hunting for Alpha Knight that day.
Luckily, she decided to just call Vanessa and ask for the few pictures of hers which Vanessa had clicked to tease her back at Selcece Pack.
Vanessa usually took pictures of her fighting with Cynthia or if she was in the midst of the other members of the cult and was looking angry or reluctant about being there. Little did Olive know that Vanessa actually had all her pictures since when she had joined the cult. The girl had transferred them and saved them to her drive without Olive’s knowledge.
So, when Olive asked her for a few of her recent pictures and told her the purpose for it, she sent everything instead. Everyone was so surprised that Vanessa had them and were really grateful too. Because it made the article so realistic and believable.
“Can I have your attention people?” Shem announced. He was standing on the table. Everyone looked at him and he smiled.
“Good. Sorry for interrupting your chats but I just wanted to tell you all that I have nothing at all to say. Thank you!” then he stepped down from the table. They was an uproar of laughter and yells. Dolly even threw a cushion at Shem’s head.
“Well, I have something to say!” Vanessa stated and everyone looked at her.
“We all have known Wayne right from time, right? So we do not need to hear about our first impressions of him when we first met him. But some of you only met Olive for the first time two months ago. Can you all tell us about your first impressions of her? It would be fun to hear them,” Vanessa stated.
“Yeah, makes sense. Who’s starting?” Dolly questioned. No one said anything and Dolly sighed.
“Okay, I would pick. Terry!” she yelled and he jerked out of his mind. He was in deep thought about something.
“What is it?” he asked.
“Tell us about your first impression of Olive. You were with them that night she came around, were you not?”
Terry’s heart suddenly slowed down and everything else entered a slow motion too. Dolly was standing with her hands on her waist and she was wearing a blue dress with a V neck, exposing her cleavage a little. Now the way she stood talking to Terry, all he could see was her milky white skin, her rosy lips and a bit of rounded flesh protruding from her dress. That was all he could see. She… was all he could see.
