Chapter 9 - IX: House of Party

"Well, what are you waiting for? Let's get this party started.", Granny said. The DJ started playing and the guest started dancing like ever. A bar was open and people were ordering. "Well, what do you do for a living?", Toby asked. "I'm a software manager in a company. I got promoted as Head of Junior P.A.", Louis replied. Everyone was fascinated and asked more of his personal life. They started ordering food from the butlers. He got his meal of fish and chips with Bud Light. Everyone was shocked, "Since when have you ate fish and chips? We need to give you fancier food. Butler! Give him caviar on wagyu with a side of basmati rice.", Granny said. Louis shook his head and stuck to fish and chips. Everyone got well-class meal, while the man of the hour got regular. When he was going to pick up a chip, Lizzy tapped his knee and signaled that Granny is watching. He picked up the fork and knife and started eating with it and that put Granny at ease. He poured the beer in the glass and Granny decided to sit next to him. "When the party is over, we're going to have a talk.", she whispered. When everyone was done eating, they got to dance and swim in the pool. Louis was at the bar and Lizzy came over to sit next to him. "So, why did you come over?", she asked.

"I have Post- traumatic stress disorder from an event and the doctor said in order to get some comfort, I must come here.", he replied. Lizzy started comforting him saying it's okay and she's here for him. After that silence, Louis asked, "What do you do anyway and what's happening in your life?" Lizzy replied, "I got married and have a child. She just turned a year last week." Louis congratulate her and she continued, "I own a multi- million dollar company and got nominated 'Company of the Year' and I bought another one last year." Louis was impressed. "Toby is a pilot and Duke is a neurosurgeon." Louis was very impressed they made it in life. "So do you have a someone in your life?", Lizzy asked. "No, ~laugh~ I lost her during a impact. She was going to have a kid." Lizzy was surprised to that respond, "I'm so sorry for that, I wish I can help you. Was she sweet?" Louis looked at her, "She was nice and funny and she would scream, because of leaving the shoes in front ~laughs~ " Lizzy chuckles, "We found out she was pregnant and then the bombing happened." Louis immediately stopped and looked outside and they went outside. He walked forward to see what was going on and saw people jumping off a pool. He walked forward and Granny ask, "Would you like to join us, Louis?" Louis declined, but everyone insisted and Granny walked forward. "Take your ass to the pool.", She whispered in his ear. After that he went to the pool and started running for the dive and accidentally tripped his leg and fell wrong way. That's when Granny closed the party and it was time to go.
