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.
"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.
"Bryan, when did you realize you were in love with her?" Tom asked, since he was seated next to Lucy.
Bryan grinned, "It's so funny that now that you ask I can remember the moments when I started falling for her. But I realized it was over for me during our first interview together at my house while we were still doing the reality show (chapter 137). As I responded to the interviewer's question about how she captured my heart, I realized I wasn't acting but meant every word I was saying," Bryan said and Sonia turned to him, her love for him shining brightly in her eyes.
"For real? You meant all of that?" She asked when she remembered how she had been hoping the words would be real.
Bryan nodded as he beamed at her, "I meant every word of it. I've not given a single moment of thought to another lady since I crossed path with you. Everyone else pales in comparison to you," Bryan said as he held her gaze and raised her hand to his lips.
Lucy sniffled. When she had suggested they do this in order to remind Sonia how much she loved Bryan and wanted to be with him, she had not expected to be so much affected by their affection for one another.
"You're both going to make me teary," she said with a wobbly smile and was pleased to see she wasn't the only one affected, the other ladies were too.
"It's your turn to ask a question," Jade nudged Harry's side when he remained silent.
Harry cleared his throat and then glanced at Bryan, "How could you just propose to a random stranger? What were you thinking?" He asked incredulously, like he had been dying to ask Bryan that question, and everyone laughed.
"I wasn't thinking. My feet led me to her. Or I suppose it was the universe that led me to her. I was destined to be with her and fated to love her," Bryan said and sounds of 'aww' rented the air and Sonia giggled
"I'm the writer yet you have the best lines," she said as she leaned over and kissed him on the lips, surprising Bryan since she had not kissed him ever since her spitting episode started.
"What about you, Sony? Why did you say yes?" Jade asked since it was her turn, and Sonia giggled.
"Maybe because I'm crazy. He was my celebrity crush, I was single and bored, and there he was asking me to marry him. What did you expect me to say? I didn't honestly care why he did that," Sonia said with a grin and everyone laughed, enjoying the story.
20:04
"I was beyond shocked when she accepted. And then she gave me the craziest kiss of my life," Bryan said with a chuckle as he remembered that night (chapter 13).
"You kissed him right there?" Andy asked in amusement, jumping everyone else to ask.
"Yes. In case it was a prank I wanted to know what his lips tasted like before the prank would be over," Sonia said with a wink and they all laughed.
"You're indeed, crazy. But then again, you've always been crazy," Tyler said with a grin as he raised his glass to his lips.
"Between the both of you, who said I love you first?" Candace asked, and the questions and answers continued, each one revealing a new layer of their love story. From the moment they met to the challenges they've overcome together, Sonia and Bryan's bond only grew stronger with each shared memory.
As the questions and answers continued round the table, Jeff couldn't help missing Mia's presence as they spoke, since he believed that Mia had played a huge role in all of this. The reality show and living together had been her idea after all. And she had called it from the beginning that Sonia had what it would take to tame Bryan.
As the night unfolded, amidst the laughter and music, Matt suggested they play a game of "Couple Trivia" to test their knowledge of Sonia and Bryan's relationship.
"Alright, everyone, listen up!" Matt called out over the chatter of the group.
"We're about to put your knowledge of Sonia and Bryan's love story to the test. I'll ask a series of questions, and the team with the most correct answers wins bragging rights for the rest of the night!" Matt said, with a grin plastered on his face as he explained the rules, while the teams were formed.
Everyone wanted to be on Lucy's team because she was Sonia's best friend and they believed she would know more exclusive details about Sonia and Bryan's relationship, so Matt exempted Lucy from the game, asking her to be the judge instead.
Tom and Jade, being Bryan's siblings were asked to head the two teams and choose their teammates.
Immediately, Jade chose, Harry, Jeff, Andy, and Lucas.
"No way, you can't choose Harry and then choose Lucas too. Lucas should be on my side since he is my girlfriend's twin brother," Tom protested.
"Alright. I will take Tyler. You can have the rest of them," Jade said with a grin since apart from Harry, she had taken the other three people who knew Bryan and Sonia unlike the others.
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.
