“Thank you Caiden,” she smiled. “This outfit is a little weird though.”
“Well yeah— but I’d do anything to make my siblings happy and to know how much I care about them… all of them,” he said.
“You really mean that?” Annabelle smiled, hoping this meant Caiden was coming around.
“Annabelle, I’ve never wanted to do anything to hurt you. That’s the last thing in this world I want. But… that doesn’t mean I’m going to let someone else hurt you either,” he said peering over her shoulder as he noticed Ignacio talking to Leila.
“Caiden…” she said, her words drifting as she realized he wasn’t coming around after all. “I think this dance is over,” she said.
“Hey, you know your date is a real loser,” Ignacio said as Casey overheard.
“A hot girl like you deserves a real man,” he continued as he looked straight at Casey.
“I’m sorry, what did you just say to my girlfriend?” Casey said.
“I said that you suck and she’s too hot for you,” Ignacio said as Leila smiled. She couldn’t help but enjoy when guys fought over her.
As Ignacio and Casey started getting into it, Caiden decided to take a quick nap. It had been such a long day after all!
“You need to take that back, Iggy,” Casey said as Jarrett stepped in. “You guys — this is my wedding. Can you please not do this right now?” he said.
“Iggy here started it. Tell him to take it back,” Casey said.
“No, lamo. Your hot girlfriend needs to know I’m here when she gets bored with you.”
He glanced at Leila.
“You’ve got that baby?”
“Watch this Leila,” Ignacio said as he started hitting Casey.
Annabelle suddenly overheard the commotion. What was Caiden saying to Ignacio now, she thought.
She started walking over, only to see it wasn’t Caiden at all. Why are Casey and Iggy fighting?! she thought confused.
Just then Caiden started to wake up. “What is happening?!” he thought as he spotted a fight cloud forming in front of him.
“You’re not so tough in front of your girl now, are you, Casey? That hot piece is gonna know after this what kind of man she really needs in her life.”
Leila watched with her eyes bulging as Caiden walked over. “What happened?” he said with a frown. “Ignacio may have said a thing or two to Casey…” she murmured.
“Casey! Remember the fight scene in the movie we watched!” Caiden said trying to encourage his brother.
Ignacio grabbed Casey from behind and swung him in the air.
“Casey, man… that’s not — no…” he sighed.
Not knowing what the fight was about, Annabelle naturally started cheering her boyfriend on.
Jarrett stood beside her. “Really Annabelle?” he said.
“Look he’s winning!” she beamed as Tomi’s mom clapped happily alongside her. Maybe Tomi’s dad saved me from the drama of a wedding after all, she thought.
“Oh yeah! I’m winning! I’m winning!” Ignacio shouted as Travis watched on.
Suddenly he was flashing back to the clay fight he lost against Don. My son really needs to get fit, he thought. Is Casey fighting a losing battle? Keep following to find out.
Caiden and Annabelle share a dance; Casey and Ignacio get into a fight over Leila.
Did You Know?
As always, I was hoping Annabelle would cheer for someone other than Ignacio, for the sake of story progression. However, she once again naturally chose Ignacio.
Ignacio wasn’t truly flirting with Leila. He’s still a teenager and she’s a young adult now, after all.
Casey and Ignacio just started arguing for the sake of it and Ignacio started the fight.
