giving a wide smile and sticking her tongue out.
Moving into the main living area, she had moved smoothly, her foot now fully recovered. Ryan Trudeau had stood waiting for her, his phone in his hand as he had checked some messages. Jenna had swallowed the small groan seeing him in his tuxedo the darkness of the suit highlighting his own dark good looks.
Hearing her footsteps, he had glanced up, his whole body freezing in stunned surprise as he had stared at Jenna as she moved so gracefully towards him.
Jenna had paused, frowning softly as she had looked down at herself, wondering what was wrong.
“Is everything OK?” she had asked, her voice full of confusion, as he had seemed to come around his voice husky.
“Fine.......everything is fine” before he had slowly looked at her from her head to her toe, seeing the way her hair had been bundled so gracefully onto her head, elongating her already perfect figure, the dress showing every wonderful curve of her body.
“You...you look amazing”.
He had managed finally, almost shaking himself.
Jenna had given one of her large grins, Ryan feeling a strange heat filling him as she had moved alongside him.
“Well thank you kind sir”.
She had quipped “You don’t look so bad yourself”.
With a smile, Ryan had gallantly taken her arm producing from a small table nearby a red rose which he had given to her.
“We need the right props for our friends in the press” he had chuckled, as she had bowed her head, accepting it.
“Ah yes” she had mocked.
“Set the scene” her eyes twinkling up at him.
As they had moved from the apartment block to the waiting limousine, Jenna had heard the snapping of cameras and the confused sound of the paparazzi all talking quickly to each other, surprised to see her on the arms of Ryan Trudeau and not the star Tom Trudeau. Ryan had given Jenna a conspiratorial wink as he had opened the door for her, allowing her to slide into the luxurious car.
“Am I a genius or what?” he had chuckled, seeing as she had nodded at him.
“Yep...it is official......call Mensa now”.
She had mocked him back, hearing as he had laughed with her, the two so comfortable with the other.
That night had been wonderful. Jenna had been stunned to find herself at a celebrity gala event, grabbing Ryan’s arm on several occasions as she had whispered in awe the names of many celebrities that she had been introduced to, her face lighting up with her enjoyment of the evening. The meal had been fantastic and the wine had flowed freely, Jenna having more than her usual share, finding herself becoming very relaxed.
As the music had began, Ryan had taken her hand leading her to the dance floor, his arms moving to hold her to him, as she had hooked her arm around his shoulder, holding on to the top of his arm, her cheek resting on his shoulder as she had sighed softly.
“This is the most wonderful night of my life”.
She had finally spoke, her voice so full of happiness, her body enjoying being so close to him, so aware of the way he had swayed with her as they had melded into the other.
Giving a small noise of contentment, he had smiled against her hair.
“Yeah......it is pretty good” he had responded, his voice soft.
She had enjoyed herself tremendously, and Ryan had marvelled at the way she seemed to be able to quickly relax and mix with the many different people at the party, seeing the way that others had instantly taken to her, this making him feel pleased for some inexplicable reason.
Finally it was time to leave, and with a last sigh, she had moved with him to where fleets of limousines were waiting to whisk away the many guests and celebrities. Seeing the press once more Ryan had given her an impish look.
“OK now to put the icing on the cake as far as you and Tom are concerned” he had chuckled.
“Just play along”, Jenna
