Stuck in you

His voice trailed off as he realized he hadn't told Michael and the others that he and Rachel had been living together.

Jack thought Rachel might feel embarrassed. He tried to change the subject and alleviate their suspicions. "We'll drop you off on the way home. Would that be fine with you?" he asked.

"You don't have to. I came with Lucas, and he'll drive me back," Rachel politely refused.

Jack had heard from Rick that she did come here with Lucas.

In truth, he was trying to tell Rachel that they could go back home together later.

But to his dismay, she refused without a hint of hesitation.

His face twitched, but he tried to hide his disappointment from Rachel. "So where is he right now?" he asked.

Rachel didn't know how to answer that because she herself didn't know where Lucas was right now.

"If you can't find him, I can drive you home," Jack offered again.

Marcus noticed that some people were approaching them. He tapped Jack's shoulder to catch his attention. "We should find somewhere more private. There are a lot of prying eyes and ears here," he whispered to Jack.

More and more people would come and mingle.

Soon they would be surrounded by people that would flock around them like flies. Marcus didn't want to endure that kind of trouble.

Rachel didn't exactly say yes or no to Jack's offer.

Now she had no choice but to leave this place with them first.

Celine was only here because of Rona. If not for Rona, she would not be able to come here as she was not invited.

Claris and her brother had different friends. She had just come back from abroad, so she was eager to invite her new friends over for a night of fun.

Thankfully, Claris was a welcoming and gracious host. She even allowed her invitees to bring their own friends along if they wanted to. Rona didn't even know Claris, at least not personally. She had the chance to be here because her father was invited by Rick. She brought Celine along to at least have one friendly face along with her.

Rona knew that Celine was not having the best of times. She thought that Celine needed to unwind and just let loose. A party would help Celine relieve some of her stress.

Most of Claris' guests were girls, and many of them came from overseas. Celine hardly knew these girls and she felt quite relieved.
