798 Game Night
Matt, the emcee for the evening, took center stage, microphone in hand, ready to orchestrate the festivities.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's get this party started!" Matt announced, his voice echoing over the sound of laughter and music.
"But before we dive into the fun, let's take a moment to celebrate the love between our bride and groom-to-be," Matt said and everyone cheered as the champagne flowed, and they raised their glasses in a toast to Sonia and Bryan.
"I'm very excited about these two. I still remember clearly how Bryan invited me over to his house in Sogal to help him get rid of Sony," Matt said and everyone laughed. nove(l)bi(n.)com
"Really? Bryan did that?" Andy asked in disbelief.
"You shouldn't talk about that here or now," Bryan said, glaring at him while Sonia giggled.
"The moment I saw you, I knew that was why you visited. He thought he could get rid of me so easily," Sonia said with a smug smile.
"So, what did you do?" Aurora asked Matt with interest, curious to hear the story.
"I went and fell in love with Sonia," Matt said with a chuckle, and everyone laughed.
"I fell for her first before Bryan did. She won my heart with a beautiful nature, so it was us both against Bryan," Matt said and Sonia giggled.
"I love you, Matt," Sonia said as she blew him a kiss, while Bryan scowled dramatically.
"I love you more my dearest, Sony. Not every man is lucky to have his best friend marry a woman he also loves. I think I should also mention here that Bryan said he would rather cut off his dick than...."
"MATT!" Bryan growled, red faced, and Matt grinned as everyone else laughed at Bryan's obvious embarrassment.
"Let's move to the next item on the list. Tonight, we're going to put Sonia and Bryan's love to the test," Matt declared with a mischievous grin.
"Each of you will have the chance to ask them a question about their relationship. How did they know they were meant for each other? What made them take the leap into forever? Let's find out!" Matt said and everyone clapped.
"Who is going first?" Matt asked, and Lucy raised her hand
With a twinkle in her eye, Lucy asked Sonia, "What was the moment you knew Bryan was the one for you?"
Sonia's smile was radiant as she recounted the memory. "I believe it was during your scandal. When I broke up with him and left to be with you. I thought I was going to die from the heartache," Sonia said, her eyes shining with tears.
"Aww," the ladies echoed.
"Really?" Bryan asked with a grin.
"Of course. And then I came to find you at Tom's apartment but you chose to hide," she said, slapping his hand at the memory.
"You didn't exactly come to find me. You just wanted to ask if he had heard from me...."
"And you were hiding like a little girl and eavesdropping on our conversation," Tom cut in and everyone laughed when Bryan glared at him.
"Why are you all doing this to me? This is supposed to be a night to celebrate my fiancée and I not embarrass me!" Bryan complained.
"Okay, no one is permitted to embarrass the group anymore! Next question? That should be the person seated next to Lucy," Matt said and Tom smiled.
Tyler knew Sonia from childhood, Andy was close to Sonia like she was, and Jeff worked closely with Bryan.
"Wow. You didn't choose me," Candace said and Jade shrugged.
"You've been too annoying lately and I want your team to lose," Jade said and Candace giggled.
"Alright then. So, I have Lucas, Philip, Aurora, and Candace. That's fair. The game can begin," Tom said and Matt began to ask the questions.
Tom and his team huddled together, whispering strategies, while Jade and her team exchanged playful banter, determined to outsmart the competition.
With the teams in place, Matt cleared his throat and began firing off questions with gusto. "First question: Where did Sonia and Bryan share their first kiss?"
The teams buzzed with excitement, frantically scribbling down their answers on slips of paper. After a flurry of whispered debates and quick calculations, they submitted their responses to Matt, who eagerly tallied up the scores.
"Let's see how you did!" Matt announced, a twinkle of mischief in his eye. "The correct answer is...at the lobby of the hotel where they first met and Bryan proposed!"
Cheers erupted from the Tom's team as they celebrated their victory, while the other teams groaned in good-natured defeat. But there was no time to dwell on losses as Matt dove into the next question, keeping the energy high and the competition fierce.
Laughter filled the air as friends competed in the ultimate test of love and friendship to see who knew Sonia and Bryan best.
As the game progressed, the questions delved deeper into Sonia and Bryan's shared history, from their favorite date spots to the nicknames they had for each other. Each correct answer was met with cheers and high-fives, while incorrect guesses sparked playful ribbing and laughter.
Amidst the friendly rivalry, the true spirit of the game shone through—the bonds of friendship and love that united everyone on board. Even as the teams vied for victory, there was a sense of camaraderie and joy that filled the air, reminding Sonia and Bryan of the incredible support system they had surrounding them.
As the final question was announced, the tension mounted, with the fate of the game hanging in the balance. With bated breath, the teams waited for Matt to reveal the ultimate challenge that would determine the winner.
"And now, for the last question," Matt declared, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "What does Bryan love most about Sony?"
The teams exchanged knowing glances, their minds racing as they wracked their brains for the answer. With a triumphant shout, Jade's team proudly scribbled down their response, confident in their victory.
After a suspenseful pause, Matt announced the correct answer, "Sonia's craziness!"
Cheers erupted as Lucy announced Jade's team to be the winning team, and they celebrated their hard-earned triumph.
But in the end, it wasn't about who won or lost—it was about the memories made, the laughter shared, and the love that filled the air on this unforgettable night aboard Queen Lucy.
As the game came to a close, Sonia and Bryan looked around at their friends and family, their hearts overflowing with gratitude for each and every one of them. In that moment, surrounded by the people they cherished most, they knew that this night would be etched in their memories forever—a testament to the enduring power of love, laughter, and the bonds that bind them together.
After the couple trivia, they played some other games, having Bryan and Sonia sit with their backs to each other while Matt asked them both questions to test how well they know each other.
As the night wore on, the music pulsed through the yacht, and the stars glittered overhead, casting a magical glow over the festivities. They danced and sang late into the night, celebrating the love that brought them all together.
While everyone mingled after the party, Harry sought Sonia out, "I have been meaning to speak with you alone. Tom said you asked him to propose to Lucy at the Christmas party," Harry asked and Sonia grinned.
"Don't you think it's a good idea?" She asked and Harry shook his head.
"I would rather Lucy proposes first," Harry said and Sonia nodded.
"Sure. We can make that happen. It's left for us to plan the engagement to make sure it happens," Sonia said just as Bryan approached them.
"Let's find time to discuss the details," Sonia said as she let Bryan lead her away so she could go get some rest for their big day tomorrow.
