Before he even had the chance to answer them, they were all over him, holding him and smelling him. But he was just laughing because he found it funny and sexy. He wasn't straight so it didn't matter to him.
"Hey girls, how are you?"
"We are not fine." One of the girls joked. "We were hoping we would have a chance with you but too bad you are married."
They all laughed including Antonio. He needed to entertain them since they were his fans.
"But maybe his groom doesn't mind sharing this piece of a hunk." Another one joked. "I mean, how could he handle him all alone? I am jealous and I can't wait to meet the lucky guy."
"Yeah," Another one sighed. "We all are jealous. Man, I can't control myself just from your magazines and videos. I wonder how he controls himself when he is around you."
His fans were hilarious. Antonio found that funny and he laughed.
"Well, just between you and me..." He said happily, putting his arms around two of the girls beside him. He could tell that they were getting turned on by the expressions on their faces and the way they breathed. "...he isn't anywhere as beautiful as you girls."
The girls looked at each other in surprise and then at Antonio. "Really?" They gasped.
"I bet he is just trying to tease us." One of them sighed. "No one can say that his beloved his not the most beautiful. He is lying to us."
If only they knew. "I am serious." He said and he wasn't even lying. He had never met anyone as ugly as Praveen.
He wanted to continue with the girls but he noticed his mother waving at him and he had to excuse himself. She was putting on a beautiful yellow designer's dress which was just the right one for her. Her hair was made into a pouf which made her beautiful face to be in view that night. She had brown high heeled shoes on her that just looked perfect and she had a smile on her face that Antonio had never seen before. Her face was glowing with makeup and that smile was the final touch. She was gorgeous.
"Hey! You are finally here." She said as she kissed his cheeks.
"Yes! Have you been waiting for long?" He asked with a smile. "I am sorry if I am late. It's just that I was caught up in traffic and the board meeting took longer than I had expected."
"Look who's finally here." Antonio heard a familiar voice behind him.
He quickly turned to find his granny looking amazing. She was dressed in a traditional outfit with slippers on her feet and her hair made into one long braid. But she was gorgeous.
"Granny." He kissed her cheek before giving her a wonderful hug. "You look amazing tonight." He finally let go of her. "Did you look this beautiful to have a dance with your grandson?"
"You crazy boy!" She hit him softly on the arm. "You are always joking and no, I won't be dancing with you tonight!"
"What?" He gasped, his eyes widening at her answer. "Why?"
"Because your attention should be on Praveen tonight." She said with a smile. "You are married now and you should give him all your attention, baby."
"Mother is right," Emily coiled her son's arm, getting closer to him. She smiled at him and Antonio didn't find it funny at all. "We need to start the party because many people have been waiting for the introduction to begin. Besides, Praveen has been waiting for you. Come on, let's begin..."
Without even getting any word from him, Emilia took her son and went to where Eduardo was. He was putting on a blue suit that looked lovely on him with matching shoes. His hair was combed perfectly and along with him was Ethan who was dressed in a shiny blood red designer's shoes with matching shoes. His hair was gelled and that smile on his face made him look even more handsome.
But Antonio didn't find anything funny. His mood was ruined and he didn't wanna go on anymore. He had come back home only to meet with another headache. But it was fine, his anger was gonna get justified. He was mad.
"There is the groom," Ethan patted on his shoulder. "We've been waiting for quite some time."
"Hey, Ethan!" Antonio did his best to smile. He remembered that he had almost lost his best friend and it just made him madder.
"Hello to you too."
They both hugged before Emilia took the microphone.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to our humble home." She announced in the mic, getting everyone's attention. "This evening is very special to me, my family, and most especially my son." She held him closer to her. Antonio had no choice but to smile at the happy faces.
"We've invited you here as our friends, family, and colleagues so that you can join in this happy celebration." She chuckled in the mic. "You all know my youngest son, Antonio who recently came back from abroad after a long time. I have watched him grow..." She said happily. "...I have watched him mature into this handsome young man standing beside me and I have also watched him become responsible."
She cleared her voice. "Antonio has been a great boy and I love him so much. Not long ago, he used to be young, and today ladies and gentlemen..." She raised her voice. "...he is now the president of all the Gonzalez companies."
The guests started clapping happily and whistling at Antonio. He could see that some of the people had their lust-filled eyes staring at him. But he still didn't mind at all. All he was doing was waving back at them and smiling. He knew many people loved him and they were so happy.
"That's why we have gathered here but..." She pointed out as the brightest smile yet popped up her face. "...that's not the most important reason for this celebration. I am sure most of you have heard and read about my son's wedding just two days ago. This marriage had been planned for a long time by his father and I am telling you that I am happy because it's been fulfilled today. My son is a married man and I couldn't wish for a better son in law. He is the best son in law any mother would wish for her son.
Without wasting your time, may introduce to you the handsome, the beautiful, and the gorgeous Praveen Antonio Gonzalez."
As soon as she said that, all the lights inside went off. Everyone suddenly started wondering what was going on but the spotlight went on and it moved to the top of the staircase. Everyone moved their eyes there and... Praveen was standing there.
Praveen was looking beautiful, extremely gorgeous. He was wearing a pure white designer's suit which was fitted on his body like a second skin. He had a sky blue shiny shirt inside which just matched with his beautiful eyes. He had white shoes on his feet and he was looking like an angel. Everyone had their eyes on him, even Antonio.
Praveen's hair was tied in a beautiful braided ponytail, revealing his beautiful and gorgeous face. He had his spectacles on but that didn't reduce his beauty. He was sparkling and he stole the spotlight right at that very moment.
Slow music started playing as Praveen slowly started coming down, looking all around. He couldn't see clearly but he knew that everyone had their eyes on him which made him nervous. He could feel himself getting weak in the knees. His body felt cold as he felt shivers ran down his spine.
He took a deep breath as he tried to forget that everyone had their eyes on him. He was dressed in the most beautiful clothes and cologne, something he had never had before. He felt like he wasn't himself and he just wanted the ground to open and swallow him whole. He knew that once he got down there, there were gonna be new faces. They were gonna be people of high classes. He was gonna feel like a fish out of water.
Anyway, the music continued and he was still coming down the stairs, almost reaching down. Meanwhile, Antonio's eyes were on Praveen the whole time. He couldn't tear them away, not even to blink. He found himself staring even when he didn't want. He probably didn't even realize that Praveen had taken his breath away. He was probably the most beautiful boy he had ever seen.
After what felt like forever, Praveen finally made it at the edge of the stairs. He stood still, trying to get himself together before everyone realized he was nervous. He just prayed to God for everything to go perfectly. He didn't wanna mess up anything.
Suddenly, the lights went on again and everyone started clapping. When Praveen saw the people clapping and smiling, he truly felt out of place. They were so classy, elegant, and fashionable. He was probably the only poor person there.
He took a deep breath and smiled at everyone without even moving an inch.
"Go on!" Emilia said, squeezing her son's hand.
"What?" Antonio gasped, getting back to reality. "What did you say?"
Emilia chuckled and then nodded slowly. "Praveen is finally down. Why don't you go and get him and show everyone how much you love him?"
Antonio lost the smile on his face, furiously moving his angry eyes to Praveen. He looked at his friend and saw the smile on his face and he was gesturing him to go on. Everyone wanted him to go. At that particular moment, he felt really angry, irritated, and mad. He took a deep breath as his fists clenched. Fuck! He couldn't believe his mother was gonna make him do that.
Antonio nodded and then started slowly going to Praveen. Everyone cheered harder and instead of smiling, Antonio's face got really serious. He reached Praveen and slowly extended his hand, slowly asking for Praveen's hand.
Praveen on the other hand didn't even realize that Antonio had come to get him. What surprised him the most was when he saw his hand extended. He didn't know what to do or what to say. He looked at Antonio's face and their eyes locked. When he looked in those eyes, he got scared of what he saw. He could tell that Antonio was angry.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Praveen got nervous. He took a deep breath before he slowly started extending his hand. He placed his hand in Antonio's hand until he felt Antonio holding him tightly. When he felt Antonio's hand on his, his entire body felt hot. His nerves got the best of him and his breaths came out harshly. He couldn't control himself.
He got to the floor and Antonio coiled his arm with him, bringing him closer to his body. It was a shock to him. He had expected Antonio to say something hurtful to him, some sort of warning but he was surprised by his reaction. He just wanted that night to go perfectly without getting hurt. Maybe Antonio wasn't gonna do anything silly, he hoped.
Praveen got out of his thoughts when he heard the people cheering. He started moving closer to the guests and his mother in law before...
"Wow!" Ethan said through the mic. "Aren't they the cutest couple ever?"
The people cheered at Ethan's comments. Praveen couldn't help but blush. He didn't even notice how serious and angry Antonio was getting. Antonio was hatching up a plan to make that night unbearable for Praveen. He wanted to find some way to hurt him or his feelings.
"But being cute isn't what we want." Ethan teased. Then he did something even sillier. "Tell me, who would love to see them happy couple on the dance floor to give us the first dance of the evening.'
"Yes!"
People started cheering and Antonio stopped in his steps, clenching his fists. He was doing the most embarrassing thing ever already. Did he have to go to the dance floor with the idiot? He was gonna kill Ethan for what he was doing.
"Come on, Antonio..." He said happily through the mic. "...why don't you take the love of your life on the dance floor so that you can show us how to dance?"
Antonio took a glance at Praveen and just got madder. People were cheering for them to dance and even his mother was gesturing him to do that. He knew that in that situation, he was helpless. He couldn't be rude in front of the people.
"Come on DJ," Ethan announced. "Give us a romantic song to put these two in the mood."
The lights suddenly went dim and the spotlight is shown on them. Antonio groaned but he slowly walked to the dance floor where everyone cleared, leaving a very big spot for them. He slowly turned, facing Praveen and staring into his eyes. Somehow, that look Praveen got from Antonio got him nervous and he stood still without saying anything.
The music started and it was "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran which annoyed Antonio to the core. His heart started pounding deep in his chest, threatening to rip out. His breaths got harsh and his hands started trembling in anger.
‘I found a love for me, darling just dive right in and follow my lead,’
That song got him mad and he knew he was gonna hate it for as long as he lived. He was supposed to be dancing with his lover, kissing him on the dance floor and not some cheap boy from the slums. That was a total insult and he didn't appreciate it one bit.
Antonio hesitantly wrapped his arms around Praveen's body, bringing his body closer to him. That got Praveen surprised but a bolt of lightning passed through his entire body making him jerk. He moved his trembling hands and slowly wrapped them around Antonio's neck and they slowly started moving with the music.
