She admitted to him. "It wasn't you Nathan. I know thats just how you are with women, but I just..." She sighed, being jealous just wasn't going to work. "I am sorry. I was out of line." she told him. "Will you forgive me." Her eyes were threatening to release a torrid of tears if she kept talking about it anymore. She felt like a complete dunderhead for overreacting like that. She hadn't done that ever before.

His soft singing in her ear sent shivers down her spine. She looked at Nathan, "I would never leave you." She whispered to him. She watched him acting strangely around the other waitress. She gave him a weak smile. "Its alright Nathan. Just be yourself. I was out of line." she told him as he enjoyed one of the rice things. She wasn't hungry.

He closed his eyes as she stroked his cheek and listened to her talk of her jealousy at the waitress. “You’re allowed to get angry sometimes, love.” He said gently. “You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t.” The waitress had been rather disrespectful to Egypt. He sat up as he voice cracked and pulled her close to him so her head was resting against his chest – it hurt his heart to see her upset and he couldn’t help feeling a tiny bit responsible for this. “Please don’t apologise.” He whispered as he stroked her cheek. “If anyone should be apologising, it’s me. ...I’m sorry if I did anything at all to encourage her.”

He smiled as she said she would never leave him. He did wonder sometimes knowing fine well that his behaviour wasn’t always very responsible. Egypt really did have the patience of a saint. “Good.” He replied. “Because I plan on sticking around a loong time.”

He smirked sheepishly as she told him to be himself. He almost breathed a sigh of relief – it would be impossible to keep that act up for very long. “Alright.” He nodded and finished up his last firewhiskey. “But only if you do me the honour of this next dance.” He stood up. "Me Lady." He bowed to her before extendeding his hand so he could lead her to the purple dance floor.

"You reckon she doesn't like me..." Chuckling she took a sip of the pumpkin juice, resigning herself to non-alchoholic drinks.

He smirked at Alexa from across the table. “Among other things.” He said with a knowing wink. Yep... back to his old self again already – it didn’t take very much encouragement. “I see Elwood’s getting rather cosy over there.” He nodded in the older man’s. “Let’s hope she enjoys the smell of old pipes.” He chuckled, leaning forward and speaking to Alexa in a hushed tone.

Sugar lover....he knew it! Just by looking at her. Women...always adding junk to their coffee and tea. Like it wasn't good enough plain.

Rico shook his head and smiled a little, enjoying the slight flush on Cambell's face. "I do dance, actually," he replied with a wink. "But not right now...not when I just got the waitress' attention!"

He was being cheeky and he knew it, but he hadn't technically let her down yet. There was always time for dancing later. But food and drink had to come first.

"London is both amazing place to live and visit." she said with a smile. "I've heard about Italy, but never been." she said glanced down at her hands.

Her life wasn't really interesting to her since she was forced to live through some difficult times. Like getting married at eighteen and then being served divorce papers barely after her nineteenth birthday. The last two years hadn't been ideal for her.

"Weddings are technically great for the bride and groom, not really the guest." she said with a laugh. She was pretty impressed with he's job, unlike hers "Very nice job. But it has a very long title." she teased with a grin. How should I explain my job since its rather complicated ? "Well I work on level nine. It's a secret. But I can tell you that I work in a very bright room." she told him with a light laugh. "I'm an unspeakable, tragically." she added with a grin.

"Oh yeah. I wonder if she'll actually see us ?" she asked with a laugh. As she watched Rico try and single a nearby waitress. She wanted firewhisky yes, but coffee sounded like a more logical idea. Parker couldn't help but yawn from being so sleep deprived. She really hated being an insomniac. "Sorry I'm just really tired." she added with another small yawn.

Oh, and he was still talking to Parker...who didn't even know Cambell. Ooops. "Italy is a wonderful place, really," he said enthusiastically. "Especially Sicily. You should go sometime. Maybe with Cambell here - she said she's never been either." He gestured towards Cambell and hoped the two would introduce themselves...he wasn't really good at that sort of thing anyways.

"A bright room?" Rico raised an eyebrow. That was certainly an odd description. "Oh, but you're like...one of those super secret shifty peoples," he nodded slowly, like a lightbulb had just come on. "You work on the government's secrets, eh? Something like that?" Hadn't he read about Unspeakables somewhere? Probably. Too bad Rico's memory was terrible this late at night. Especially without coffee.

"Yeah, anything to drink sounds good right about now..." he mumbled, waiting on the waitress. "I don't blame you for yawning...this wedding's lasted a really long time."

"Thank you for that." She meant for him not making a big deal about her behavior. She let him pull her into him. She wrapped both her arms around him and snuggled into his chest. She could live in his arms the rest of her life. "You didn't do anything wrong Nathan. That was all me." She leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips.

She giggled when he said he would be around for a long time. "Well I plan on keeping you around for a very long time." She told him honestly.She smiled up at him, "I thought you would never ask." she took his hand as he lead them back out onto the dance floor.

In much the same way she had announced the bride and groom, Reagan used her wand to elevate the sound of her voice and announced, "Good evening, once again ladies and gentlemen. Minister and Mrs. Cooper would like to thank you all for coming. It means a great deal to them to be surrounded by a caring group such as yourselves. With that said, the bride and groom must be off to their honeymoon now, so join me in saying goodbye and wishing them luck for the future. Each table holds a little something for each of you as a thank you for coming. Please be sure to pick up the one with your name on it before leaving." Reagan wondered how many people would actually enjoy a framed picture of the Minister and his wife as a gift. Well, at least it came with some expensive and tasty chocolate!

Egypt turned around at the sound of the voice and looked over at the Maid of Honor. She held fast to Nathan's hand as she listened to her talk. She wanted to laugh at the speech. Surely she of all people knew that they were all here because they had to. Not because they wanted to be here. She smiled in the general direction of the happy couple.

Edie turned around at Reagan's voice and smiled. She was having a really hard time trying not to laugh. caring group such as yourselves HA that was hilarious. Edie clapped as Reagan finished, wishing the Minister (whom she liked, only for getting rid of her father) and his wife (whom she had decided she didn't really like) good luck. She looked at the table and noticed packages she hadn't seen before. She reached over and looked for the one with her name on it. She found it and opened the package. She pulled out the gift and scowled. A framed photo of the Minister and his wife. Joy. I'l be putting that up when I get home. Not! she thought to herself with a little chuckle. The other part of the gift was what really caused her to smile. There was a box of very expensive chocolate. Well maybe they are not so bad after all, she laughed to herself, opening the box and tasting one of the scrumptious chocolates, that caused her to close her eyes momentarily in ecstasy.

Sasha hurried over to the table with a fake smile plastered on her face. Where in Merlin's name were the rest of the waiting staff, she felt like she was the only one serving around here. "Yes sir, can I help you?"

Sasha looked up at the maid of honour or whatever she was and breathed a sigh of relief, it was over...finally it was over. She could kick back and relax now...maybe take off these shoes that were killing her feet and have a drink herself.

She bit her lip - He noticed that, thanks to his new want to see every bit of her reactions- but then she gave him that smile- that smile that slighty tored into his chest, had him have a jolt in stomach, a melty feeling right in his gut- and he wanted nothing more but to hold her and dance with her for a bit longer.

So maybe- she should Just sollow in that want and follow her- because she had to have food- that seemed like a good thing. The right thing. But then, the song started -

Which couldn't have been more Perfect. He glancd at her once again- He had to.- she looked so good. How could he resist.

He bit his lower lip then, hoping she would agree. After all this was going all pretty well. "Just thiss one song, then?" He asked slmost too softly.

He wouldn't min, ofcourse, if she said Noand wanted to eat but there bit that dread feeling inside him.He really couldn't deny that.

Bella couldn’t help but giggle when Ewan asked her for another dance. She also couldn’t help but notice just how cute he looked when that look crossed his face. “I did say whatever you want.” She whispered, stepping closer once more. She then placed her hand on his shoulder once more and giggled. Yes, she was hungry, a little bit -- maybe. And she didn’t really want to dance … especially now that it was a slow song. But she didn’t want to ruin Ewan’s night than she already had. So agreeing with him was the best way of making emends. Besides, she loved slow dancing. But the situation being what it was with her blushing and the stomach flipping -- it wasn’t desirable.

Alexa looked over at Elwood and Lizeth's direction, smiling to herself. Nathan leaned forward and started talking to her in a hushed tone. Alexa laughed and watched them go and dance again.
She started to feel a little jealous watching them enjoy themselves so. She glanced at Warren and felt a blush creep up her cheek..No Alexa! Marriage is way too far off in the distance....! Looking away, still quite rosy she observed the Maid of Honour thank the guests and then quite uneventfully the bride and groom left for their honeymoon. Well that was fun!Rolling her eyes and promising herself if she ever got married there would be something more interesting happen she tried to think of something to say. Silence was creeping up on her. The empty table was slightly frightening and the fact that the bride and groom had left made Alexa feel altogether a little depressed.

Glancing at Warren again, she realised it was a little difficult to get him to budge. Stubborn...! Sighing, she crossed her legs and let the last fleeting moment slip away. Wow....wedding atmosphere's changed fast. Alexa was too tired to try and put in any effort into the conversation-or possible conversation. Tucking her chair further into the table she grudgingly placed food in her mouth.

Elwood twitched a little, then looked down at her, "Hey now, I'm not ticklish, if that's what you're going for." he poked her back in the side. He made a mental to thank Alexa, this had been one of the happiest, if not the happiest, night of his life.

Warren glanced at Alexa. He could tell that something was bothering her. He leaned down and whispered into her ear, "Something wrong, dear?" He leaned across to get his drink gave her a kiss.

Stacey-Ann smiled at Warren and said "I will join you in a bit" Stacey-Ann was quite happy at the bar and she was enjoying herself

"Well, it's good to know that I've met someone who is willing to keep up with me." She teased.

As Jake teased her with the appearance of the chicken dance, Clarissa tilted her head at him, thoroughly surprised when he began to actually do it. "Oh my gosh!" She giggled again, unable to keep her composure. "Jake, they were right, you're a very talented chicken dancer!" She laughed again, watching the bobbing arms move up and down. "I've got to try that sometime!"

With another smile, she settled to a stop on the floor, placing both hands on his shoulders, before slowly beginning to move side to side.

Miley shook her head."I really want to tell him,but..."She looked at Jacob."What if he doesn't like me back?Then there went are friendship...down the drain."

Edward had been mingling amongst the guests, making his rounds when he saw Alina. He was about to wave and walk over for a hello when he saw that it didn't really look like she was in a small talk kind of mood. It looked like something was going on between her and her husband and some woman standing next to him.

He stood there, watching to see what was going to happen. He didn't know her very well, but he wouldn't mind being available for a comforting shoulder.

He made a contented noise as she wrapped her arms around him and snuggled up to him, he kissed the top of her head. He took in what she said but chose to ignore it. It wasn’t all Egypt’s fault – far from it - but he wasn’t going to argue with her over this. It was his and that waitress’s fault.

“Is that a promise?” He mumbled still with her locked in his embrace. In all his twenty-four years on this earth, Nathan had never ever met anyone like Egypt. She was so soft and sweet and loving and warm and kind and beautiful. Nathan felt like he didn't deserve her seemingly unconditional, undying, love sometimes. She had no bad in her at all - that was the main reason he fell for her. She was the goodness in his soul and he loved her with all his heart.

Nathan looked over at Egypt’s amused face as the Slave of Honour thanked everyone for coming. He knew what she was thinking and let slip small chuckle. He put his free hand to his mouth subtly making it look like he was coughing.

But he didn’t want to leave just yet, the party was nowhere near over as far as he was concerned – there was still canapés, club sandwiches, pearl balls and chicken satay to be eaten... and not to mention firewhiskey to be drunk. “You reckon this present will be triple pay for us poor sods who’ve had to work today?” he whispered to Egypt raising an eyebrow. If you could call having a whale of a time with free food and drink, work, that is.

Once the maid of honour had finished her speech, and led her towards the dance floor. Luckily for him, it was a slow one – Nathan could handle that just fine... hopefully.

Shylo floated into the Reception Hall, peering about for someone she recognised. Of course, many familiar faces waltzed past her, but none who she had ever spoken to. Her eyes darted around the room, only searching for one person. Alexander. EEP!

Perhaps he wasn't here. She hadn't seen him in the ceremony either.

Rico looked up from his conversations to hear the MaidSlave of Honor's speech. Interesting. The couple makes a quick appearance at their own wedding and then leaves.

Not your usual reception, but hey. He was in Britain now. And they got wedding gifts, great. Rico glanced down at his and almost recoiled from the hideousness. The frame wasn't actually too bad, maybe he could just remove the photo of...er....them...

He frowned and then noticed the nice box of chocolates. Ah! Finally, some food!

And the waitress had heard him! Beaming cheerfully at her, Rico placed an order. "Yes ma'am. Could I please have a firewhiskey and a cup of coffee, please? And I believe these two lovely ladies would like to order also...." he nodded towards Cambell and Parker, waiting to hear their response.

Miley looked back at Cassie."I'm thirsty.Let's go get something to drink."

Lizeth giggled and jumped a little when he poked her back, she happened to be extremely ticklish. "That's not fair." She mumbled. Then she looked at him to make sure he wouldn't do it again. For some reason guys seemed to find it funny when girls were ticklish,

deciding to do one last round of firewhiskey before everyone left, Stanley had loaded up his tray and bagan to amble around the room once more. If nobody wanted any he would drink the lot himself.

"Certainly sir, one firewhiskey and one coffee and how do you have your coffee?" Sasha asked pleasantly as she gave him a quick once over with her eyes. Why were all the good ones taken she thought. Shaking her head slightly Sasha turned towards the women. "And what would you ladies like?"

Sasha looked up at the other waiter. Oh finally some help she thought nice to see it's not just me running around doing all the work. She gave him a dazzling smile anyway, the night might not be a total loss...he was pretty cute.

Miley looked back at Jacob and said,"Do you want anything to drink?I'm going to get some more firewhiskey."

Cassie looked at Miles and then around at everyone. "I think the party is over, I'm going to go back to james." She said and walked back over to the guys. "Hey, I think the party is over now." She said to James.

She rested her ear over his heart so she could hear his heart beat. Other than Paris' cooing and giggling this was her favorite sound in the world. She hated herself for getting like that. She couldn't remember a time she had gotten that upset at anyone, and Tommy has gotten her into more trouble than she cared to remember. Just seeing that woman practically licking her lips at Nathan just got to her. Forget about it, she thought. Nathan has eyes for only you. She felt his kiss on her head and she closed her eyes in contentment.

She tilted her head up till she was looking into his green eyes. Those eyes that looked straight into her soul. "I promise to love you till I take my last breath on the earth." She leaned up and kissing his chin. "I promise to wait for you in the afterlife till you see fit to join me." She kissed his lips softly. He made her believe in love. Not that fleeting thing that one of the twins was always claiming when they meet the cutest guy on earth. No, the love that Nathan had given her was the love that made your heart dance when you heard their voice. It made the world seem a little darker somehow every time you were away from them.

She had to giggle at his comment, "Does our Minister and his new wife look like the type of people who care about anyone else?" She asked him as she twirled around and found her way into his open arms. She rested on hand on his shoulder and the other in his outstretched hand.
