Felix and Sophia watched Edward leaving the dance floor.
Felix wiped remaining tear streaks from Sophia's cheeks with his palms, cupped her face and gave her a gentle kiss.
"I will take care of you.", he spoke in her lips.
"I know…", she smiled and returned his gaze full of love.
Felix took one step backward, away from Sophia, bowed slightly and extended his arm toward her, palm up. "Can I have your next dance, Mrs. Martin?"
Sophia was surprised. His charming smile and confident look told her that he prepared something for her. She nodded and placed her hand in his. Oh, how she loves dancing with Felix. And those dimples!
Felix nodded to the band and a livelier tune started. It was a piano introduction for few seconds before guitar, drums and rest of the instruments joined in.
Felix kissed Sophia's back of the palm, twirled her three times and pulled her close. They moved together, perfectly in sync, back and forth, left and right. He held her while guiding their movements over the dance floor. His eyes never left her, and she felt her heart skip a beat when he started singing with the band, only for her... telling her how when she smiles at him, she knows what that does do to him, and she can see it if she looks at him.
Sophia felt like floating. She relished every bit of the experience of being held by his strong hands, listening to his voice, basking in that intense gaze… Oh, and those dimples! She was melting.
Felix twirled Sophia few times and pulled her toward him just in time for her to see him up-close while he sang lines that he can't believe he is her man and he gets to kiss her just because he can... and whatever comes their way they will see it through because that is what their love can do...
Two of them danced and enjoyed without paying any attention to people around them. If there is such a thing of two people living in their own world, then this was it.
Sarah leaned on Aiden and JoAnna was hugging Jeff. Both sisters were super-touched by the scene in front of them, and the amount of romancing was making their brains turn into mush.
The ceremony, father-daughter dance and now this… the amount of love in the air was too much to handle.
It was obvious that Sophia is beaming and having the time of her life on the dance floor with the man she loves.
Jeff and Aiden watched Felix twirl Sophia and move with her skillfully while singing to her. While holding onto their girls, two brothers had similar thoughts... They saw this scene in front of them as something that they need to surpass on their own wedding. Ah, Felix! You are setting a high bar for White brothers. They are troubled.
Aiden is confident in his dancing, but he thought that he should work on his singing.
Jeff decided to start dance lessons. He was troubled that he has only two months until his wedding, but if he works hard, he can learn some moves and surprise JoAnna. Yes, he had an idea brewing: he will take dance lessons secretly, and then sweep JoAnna off her feet on their wedding day.
Sophia's mind was full of 'Ahs' and 'Ohs' while Felix finished his song with lines that she is his everything.
Felix bent over Sophia while supporting her arching back. She felt that his blue eyes are looking into her soul before he kissed her while band finished song. Sophia's hands held onto his broad shoulders. One of them deepened the kiss, they were not sure who started it, but in next moment Sophia's hands moved and laced in his hair. She was pulling him closer and his hand moved to the back of her head.
Luckily for them, people clapped because song ended and that noise tugged them into reality, making them stop the impending kissing frenzy just as it started.
Band played next song, and others joined on the dance floor.
At that time both Sarah and Aiden got update from Eve through their earpieces, and they shared information with Jeff and JoAnna: Sylvie got her next dose of sedative. Eve analyzed Sylvie's body physical data and concluded that she is still not stable, and a risk to cause a commotion. Per Sarah's instruction, Eve got drone to deliver next dose of sedative.
No one had any objections. They joined in the fun on the dance floor.
Sarah and JoAnna exchanged glances when they saw Gustav dancing with Charlotte. Gustav is a good looking young man, and a good dancer. It's undeniable that he knows how to charm a lady. Charlotte was giggling like crazy while he spoke close to her ear. Maybe due to wine, or she was flirting with him, probably mix of both. Gustav felt that he has a reasonably high chance for some good time at this party.
Steve and Bridgette were on the dancefloor nearby. She was relieved when she saw Charlotte occupied with Gustav. That means she will not try anything crazy with Felix.
"Your mom seems OK with this.", Steve noticed that Sylvie is sitting and not causing trouble. He is aware that Bridgette's mom does not approve of Sophia, but it seems that she changed her mind.
"Yeah… not like her." Bridgette told herself to go and talk to Sarah and JoAnna to see if they know something about Sylvie's unusual calm demeanor. She can't imagine that her mom would just sit and not mingle with people, even if she does not want to cause trouble.
"When will you introduce me to her?"
Bridgette's eyes bulged out from surprise. "What…? You don't know my mom. She will cause a scene."
"Your mother is right there. Don't you think it's… strange if you don't introduce me?"
"Oh… Give me a minute…", Bridgette took few deep breaths trying to process what he said. She wants to introduce Steve to her mom. But part of her knows that her mom will not approve, no matter who her boyfriend is. And this is Felix's wedding. She should not provoke her mother and potentially cause a scene… but her mom looks like she is in a good mood. Bridgette never saw Sylvie sit like this, calmly. Maybe this is not a bad timing.
Bridgette didn't realize that Sylvie saw her holding onto Steve earlier, and now she was watching them dance while chatting happily! If Sylvie is not sedated, she would pounce on that daring man who is holding onto her daughter. Sylvie was boiling on the inside. Instead of calming down, her current predicament was only making her rage swell. Her son just got married to a woman she does NOT approve, her daughter is in the arms of some unknown young man… everyone is dancing, laughing, having a good time while she is stuck. Even Charlotte abandoned her! Just as Sylvie thought that she can move her finger, she felt a sting in her shoulder and then she was back to not being able to move any part of her body (other than her eyes). Looking at the dancefloor, even her ex-husband is there, twirling that wretched woman… and they are laughing! Sylvie didn't like any of it.. She didn't like it at all.
