Bring Me To Life

Best night ever

"Jen... they're calling you," Ben whispered as he approached the table where I was seated.

I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to him, puzzled. "What?" I asked, feeling a bit bewildered.

"The DJ is calling for you," Ben said, planting a gentle kiss on my forehead. "Are you feeling nervous? Do you need some water?" he added with concern.

I smiled, realizing what was happening. "No, I'm okay," I assured him.

I took a deep breath to gather my composure. "Okay... I've got this... that was all just a daydream."

I walked over to the dance floor to join my dancers, each of us taking our positions. Ben settled in a central chair, watching with amazement as I began to sing Alicia Keys' "No One." After the second chorus, the performance seamlessly transitioned into a freestyle choreography set to Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man."

Ben couldn't help but cheer me on as I danced with a seductive grace that came effortlessly.

When the dance routine concluded, I straddled Ben's lap and sang the intro of Drake's "Teenage Fever," exuding an alluring presence. Our eyes locked in a moment filled with love, making it seem like we were the only two people in the room.

His hands rested on my hips, and our gazes brimmed with desire. We both snapped back to reality when we realized we weren't alone. I stepped away from his lap and continued to perform part of the song, dancing with equal intensity.

As the song concluded, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers. I took the microphone to express our gratitude, "Thank you all for joining us at my husband's birthday party. We both appreciate and love every one of you." I smiled at the crowd as they cheered, then handed the mic back to the DJ.

Ben and I returned to our seats, and he gazed at me with affection and a warm smile.

"So, Ana and I were talking, and she seems to have developed feelings for you, more than just a friend," he brought up once we were seated.

"Oh, I noticed you two briefly, but then I sort of zoned out," I admitted honestly.

Ben nodded, placing his hand on my thigh and kissing me. "If you don't feel comfortable with her being around, just let me know, alright?"

"Wait, so she's basically one of the guys and confessed her feelings for me to you?" I asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, that's right," Ben chuckled. "But don't worry, I know your preferences, babe."

I laughed and added, "I only like guys, thank you very much."

We both burst into laughter and then headed to the dance floor together, where Frank Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight" was playing.

"This is our song, babe," Ben whispered in my ear, and I grinned up at him with affection. We swayed to the music, lost in each other's presence.

An hour later, it was time for presents. My mom and sisters rolled out a grand throne, reminiscent of the one from Game of Thrones, and handed Ben a stunning emerald, green crown adorned with black diamonds.

All eyes were on Ben as he unwrapped his gifts. I handed him a large orange LV bag, and he smirked as he opened it, revealing a new LV carry-on bag for his travels.

"Ah, new adventures, I see," he chuckled, and the room joined in the laughter.

He continued to unwrap more presents, all of them LV luggage, and he finally asked, "Are you all trying to tell me something?"

I nodded and shared the big news, "The family is going to Paris!" Lupe cheered, and Ben expressed his excitement, hugging me and my family.

As he opened the remaining gifts, they turned out to be clothes until he reached the last one. Struggling to open it, he uncovered a set of lingerie for me, handcuffs, some sensual toys, and a whip.

"Now, this is interesting," Ben said with a mischievous grin, holding up the lingerie, cuffs, and toys.

"Looks like someone's in for an exciting night," Matt chimed in, raising his beer, and the room burst into laughter. Ben winked at me, and I couldn't help but giggle as we cleaned up the gifts and wrapping.

"Babe, can you come with me for a moment?" I asked softly.

Ben whispered back, "Not now, we can't be without our clothes later, babe," as he kissed my neck, his affectionate gesture unabashed even in front of the guests. I nodded and bit my lip softly as he caressed my hips, leading me onto the dance floor where we danced the night away.
