Many guests have arrived inside. All of them are chatting. I see Mark and his sister Grace. I wave at them and Mark waved back. I walked towards them.
"Queenie you were invited as well I see." Mark said.
"You look amazing Queenie." Grace complimented me.
"Thank you." I said. We chatted for a while. Drinks are being served by the waiter so I got some champagne. I remembered Andrea scolding me the last time, so champagne will do.
Then I saw Julia not far away. She was wearing an long red gown. Her hair was curled and neatly styled. Beside her was the most good looking man in the venue, Shawn. He was wearing a black tuxedo. His hair is styles back elegantly. Julia was hooked in his arms.
I look at Julia and smirked. 'You're so happy that Shawn's with you. But that smile won't last.' I thought to myself.
"Ah I guess Julia nagged her father everyday just to let Shawn escort her tonight." Mark said.
"Aren't you and Shawn dating?" Grace asked me.
I just smiled at her.
After a while Julia and Shawn approached us.
"Grace, Mark thanks for coming to my birthday party." Julia said with a smile. "Oh Queenie you're here. Thank you for coming."
"The pleasures all mine. Happy birthday." I said. "Shawn." I nodded to Shawn.
"Hi Queenie." Shawn greeted me respectfully but smiled to me sweetly.
Julia saw this and clenched her hands. "Thank you." Julia said with a fake smile. "Are you alone? Oh my I'm sorry. I have heard about the news of you and Shawn. But I'm sure those are just rumors right? You haven't confirmed anything until now."
Julia was clearly trying to shame me. Guests around all looked at us by that time. She wants to brag that I was just a moments fling for Shawn and she was the rightful one beside him. I held my glass much harder trying to hold in my anger. If I let my anger out then I'm the loser in this game. I composed my self and still gave a warm smile.
"I don't get what you mean Julia?" I said.
"I'm sorry you don't have a date tonight. Shawn have promised me a long time ago to escort me." Julia was rubbing herself as the rightful partner.
Guests started to chatter around us.
"But the news clearly showed Shawn and Queenie together." a woman said.
"But there wasn't any confirmation until now. Maybe she was really just Shawn's fling." another said.
"Shawn is a bachelor and was never linked to anyone. So having such a public display of affection confirms that they are goins out right." a man said.
"But in the last years Julia has always been seen with Shawn as well. Isn't there talks that they are together?" another one said.
Julia gives a satisfactory smile. I admit she was doing a good job shaming me. With Shawn seen by her side just gives her a point above me.
Shawn can't stand the talks of the guests. "Julia please stop these. Guests will misunderstand." he said.
"But it's true right. You're the one with me now while she's alone." Julia said sarcastically.
Shawn was trying to control his irritation. He didn't like what Julia is doing. But they were in public now where eyes are focused on them. He was about to say sorry to Queenie.
"Queenie..." Shawn started. But his sentence was cut off.
"Don't you have a date tonight lovely lady?" a voice from behind me said.
I know this voice. I looked back and saw him. He was wearing a white tuxedo and golden bow tie. His brown hair was styled back. His green eyes shines like emeralds. My angel.
"Then let me be your date tonight." Troy put his arms around my waist and smiled.
