Chapter 261 - 258: Silver Wedding Anniversary V

Serena finally saw Charlton when she, her friends, and Geneva, took a peek from the other end of the ballroom as everyone took their seats. Her heart was suddenly filled with longing, and she just wanted to run to him.
He was wearing a light gray dress suit that matched the color of his eyes. He was more handsome than she could remember and like a hormonal teen, she wanted nothing else but to jump him.
However, she knew that they have a number, and besides, she wanted a more dramatic entrance for their reunion. Gods, she can't wait to see his expression when she starts singing. His seat was located near enough the stage so even though the spotlight would only be on Geneva, he would be able to see her.
Geneva was nervous and excited. Serena thought her a dance she called the 'cha-cha' and she has been practicing that for the last 3 days. Good thing she has always been good at dancing, so she learned it easily. It was so strange, but it was beautiful. Anyway, she was already old enough to do that and no one would be able to say anything about it, so why not?
Looking at the time, it was already 6:45 in the evening, almost time for dinner. She and the girls should make their entrance.
"It's time." Geneva announced and the girls nodded their head in unison.
Calling the butler, Geneva instructed that they shut off the lights inside so that they could take their position.
Thus, the lights in the ballroom were shut off, and they were able to walk inside with only the lights filtering through the glass windows illuminating their way.
Anyway, when they were all in their position, the spotlight was turned on and was directed to where Geneva was standing.
The girls can now see each other, and when they saw that Marquess Gregory has approached nearer to the dancefloor, they faced one another and nodded. Via started strumming the guitar, followed by Gizel with the piano.

Serena faced forward and her eyes immediately met Charlton's. She could not help her heart feeling like it turned into a puddle of goo and her smile immediately blossomed on her face. She could definitely say that he was feeling the same as his eyes spoke volumes. It was wonderful that they don't need words to know how crazy they were for each other.
Anyway, she heard the music come to the part where she has to sing, so looking directly at Charlton, without the need to tear her eyes away because everyone was focused on Geneva and that she was also in the dark. Thus, she started singing. Each word dedicated to the man that she loves.
"Swaying room as the music starts
Strangers making the most of the dark
Two by two their bodies become one."
While singing that part, the servants who were instructed to place the dry ice on the water did just that to have a smoke effect while Geneva was dancing the solo routine cha-cha Serena taught her. Since she started dancing, her arms raised in an attractive movement, all eyes have been glued on her.
"I see you through the smokey air
Can't you feel the weight of my stare…"
Here, Geneva turned around and instantly met her husband's eyes as she continued to dance.
Meanwhile, Serena too was looking at Charlton, their eyes not even for a second straying away from each other. They were in their own world, and both could not remove the smile on their faces.
Kylo on his part was also looking at Via who was busy with her guitar. Afraid that she might make a mistake as she has still not mastered using one.
"You're so close but still a world away
What I'm dying to say, is that
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new
You'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you"
At this part, Geneva pointed her index at her husband whose face has turned all red, but his eyes were shining as he tried to contain his smile. All his annoyance suddenly gone with the display. If it were just the two of them, he would have already joined her with the crazy antic.
The guests started cheering all delighted by the display and the music playing at the background.
"Trying hard to control my heart"
At this part, Geneva placed her hands on her chest.
"I walk over to where you are…"
Still in a dancing cha-cha movement, she walked towards her husband who was standing just at the edge of the dancefloor.
The guests, more particularly their relatives started shouting, "Go Greg!" teasing the couple.
Greg shook his head, feeling some second-hand embarrassment for his wife, but deep inside he was pleased and could no longer contain his smile that was now plastered on his face. Anyway, throwing his hesitation aside, he decided to just enjoy the moment. So, he met his wife halfway.
"Eye to eye we need no words at all…"
This time, Gregory and Geneva were standing in front of each other. They were smiling with love shining in their eyes, as if reminiscing the time when everything was all brand new, only this time, they love each other more.
"Slowly now we begin to move"
This time, following the lyrics of the song, Geneva held the hands of her husband. Then, she slowly did the cha-cha feet movement, as if teaching her husband how to do it. Gregory who has watched her earlier, was able to move on his feet, slowly following her movements.
"Every breath I'm deeper into you
Soon we two are standing still in time
If you read my mind, you'll see
I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new
You'll feel it in my kiss
You'll feel it in my kiss
Because I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true
I never wanted anyone like this
It's all brand new
You'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you
Crazy for you
Crazy for you
Crazy for you"
The husband and wife continued dancing with the song, both laughing at the craziness, while the guests all cheered.
Milly was playing the tambourine and singing as a second voice with "Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap".
Gizel continued playing the piano as she turned to look at her parents from time to time, feeling happy that they're having a great time.
Serena continued singing, her eyes speaking volumes to Charlton, and him to her.
Kylo never tore his eyes away from Via and when she was a bit more confident with the guitar, their eyes met, and just like the people in the room who were in love, they smiled at each other, their eyes conveying their feelings.
"It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true
I'm crazy, crazy for you
It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you
And you know it's true
Yeah, I'm crazy for you
Crazy for you, baby"
Then, when the song finally ended, everyone broke into a thunderous applause. Some even whistling like they were not part of the most noble houses in Militeia. They even shouted, "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
And so, with the cheers of everyone, Gregory dipped his wife and kissed her.
