CHAPTER 42
“Frances is watching” Maxwell whispered beside her, and she quickly wiped the tears with the handkerchief again.
The dance finally ended, and she was applauded so much as she left the stage.
She almost came to Jemima straight, but she was mandated to change in the changing room first by one of the teachers.
“Thanks” Jemima told Maxwell, and he faced her.
“What did I do?” He asked with an innocent look.
“Just thank you” she replied, and their eyes met.
She smiled widely, but he only stared back without blinking till Sloane nudged him.
“Meet my son” she said, and he looked away from Jemima to see Miguel beside her already.
“Hi, I’m Miguel Roosevelt” he waved cheerfully, and Maxwell felt a little bit of tightness in his tummy immediately.
What the h’ll is happening? Francesca bears her mother’s surname, and now Miguel bears her mother’s surname too?
“I’ve always been your fan, and I follow you back to back on IG, Limited Mell” he continued.
“Aww, really?” Maxwell smiled and stroked his hair gently.
Sloane smiled when she saw that. She loves the way he gets touchy with the people he likes, and she can’t wait to get that close to him.
How’d it feel to experience his touch? Swimmers have damn soft palms, so she could imagine how it’d feel already.
“Nice to meet you” Maxwell said, his hand still in Miguel’s hair.
Jemima was staring at him too, how could someone be so cool?
He’s wounded cos of her, yet he advised her about her daughter, and this same guy came all the way to this show cos of her daughter again?
She couldn’t help but see him in a new light right now, he’s really a limited edition like he’d say.
The moment she thought of that, she smiled secretly, moving her eyes to his face as he continued chatting with Miguel.
“And the award of the best ballet dancer tonight, goes to…” A voice said on stage, alerting them about the announcement of the winners.
“Francesca Andrade-Kings!!!” The crowd shouted.
“Right, Francesca!!!” The MC screamed, and Francesca rushed to the stage from the changing room.
Everyone screamed so loud when she was handed a trophy, and Jemima spranged up.
“A trophy?” Her eyes widened.
“Mummy come!” Francesca shouted from stage, and she looked at Maxwell.
“She’s waiting” he smiled, and she smiled too before rushing to the stage to snap with her, holding her dearly in all of the pictures.
Maxwell joined at a point too, snapping the rest of the shots with her.
Miguel got a medal too, for the best lip syncing.
They all left the hall at once, and Francesca wouldn’t stop giggling from ear to ear in Jemima’s arms.
“I need to show this trophy to Dolores as soon as possible, she helped me a lot with practice” she said, hanging her slender arms on Jemima’s shoulder.
“Should we eat out tonight?” Jemima asked, and her eyes brightened.
“Of course! I’m gonna eat your favorite food with you” she replied.
“My favorite food?” Jemima blinked.
“Quiche Lorraine with roasted vegetables” Francesca replied, and Jemima almost couldn’t close her mouth as it came wide.
“I know everything about you, mummy” she smiled, pouring ksses on her face.
“And I love you soo much!” She gushed, and Maxwell smiled at her extreme cuteness.
“Can Mell tag along with us? To the dinner” she suddenly asked.
“Of course” Jemima quickly replied.
“No, you both should enjoy some quality time together, it’s your first time so I won’t interrupt” he quickly said, and disappointment knotted her face together.
“Oh.. that’s true” she said slowly.
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow, Mell” Francesca winked, and he chuckled.
“I’ll call you” he said, and she waved continuously as Jemima dropped her in the car.
“Bye Sloane, Miguel…” She smiled at them.
“See ya tomorrow, bestie…” Sloane smiled back, and she faced Maxwell.
“Can I…call you?… Please?” She asked.
“I dunno” he replied, and she smiled lightly before getting in the car.
She left with Francesca, and Sloane held Maxwell’s hand immediately.
“Let’s eat dinner together then. Me, you and Miguel” she said.
