Chapter 9
She gazed around trying to do so coolly, although her rapidly spinning eyes belied that fact.
'You didn't tell me it was going to be this...fancy!' Ada hissed at Jemima quietly.
'If I did you wouldn't have come. And anyway, since when did fancy have a category of 'this fancy'? Chin up, you ninny and smile. Guys are looking this way already.' Jemima hissed back.
Ada quickly forced a smile as they made their way through guests.
'Looking at you, more like.' She whispered.
Jemima rolled her eyes so skilfully that only the very observant would have seen the roundabout motion of her eyes, and this included the likes of Ada.
'I saw that.'
'Good.' Was the reply.
Before Ada could launch an appropriate scolding, a lady decked in a long, red, cocktail dress and blinding diamonds at her lobe and neck spotted Jemima and cooed a loud, 'Jemima darling.'
Jemima mumbled under her breath, 'Fuckwittage,' before cooing back just as loudly, 'Hyacinth, wherever have you been, darling? Absolute yonks.'
Ada hid a smile as she watched them air kiss, more than an inch between their respective cheeks.
'Darling, I don't think I've seen you since...why forever?' Hyacinth breathed, her left hand waving about her artfully coiffed hair, the large blue diamond on her fourth finger threatening to take out a few discreetly placed hair pins.
Ada immediately clocked that she was drawing attention to her ring but she did not say a word. She had been ignored like she was invisible so why make the fake blonde happy?
Jemima replied, staring straight at Hyacinth's face and acting like the hand was not a part of her body, 'It has, has it not? Been a very busy bee these past months. Flying here and there...and how was...Barbados was it? News is Pierre acquired a villa there for the both of you.'
Hyacinth laughed, batting her eyes furiously like she was trying to dislodge a trapped fly, 'You heard that? Oh dear me, and it was meant to be a secret between the both of us.'
Ada barely stifled a snort. Secret, unh-hunh.
Hyacinth continued, 'Well, Pierre surprised me with that gorgeous villa. It's by the beach you know? Anyway, was I surprised when he showed it to me, I believe I even fainted.'
'Fainted?' Ada could not resist asking.
Hyacinth glanced at her irritated then smiled quickly, 'Swooned. Yes, swooned I think. Anyway, you would never believe why he bought that villa for me?'
Jemima smiled expectantly.
'You have to guess, Jemima!'
'Was it your birthday?'
'No.' Hyacinth shook her head giggling excitedly.
'Anniversary?' Jemima guessed again.
'No.'
'Just for the fun of it? Because he could? Err...funeral?' Jemima asked.
Ada quickly turned her guffaw into a cough. This party was definitely interesting.
Hyacinth's smile had slowly faded away as Jemima threw her guesses and now Hyacinth looked near hysterical.
'No you foo...funny girl.' She quickly ended with a forced smile.
It was clear to everyone what she had been about to call Jemima.
Jemima simply arched an eyebrow, 'Then tell me. You know how awful I am at guessing games.'
Hyacinth raised both eyebrows signifying a 'Clearly'.
'It was for our engagement. We're engaged. Can you not see my ring?'
She shoved the hand she had been waving about in Jemima's face.
Jemima widened her eyes with an, 'Ohmigod I can't believe I didn't see something this...huge! It's gorgeous.'
Soothed by her response, Hyacinth smiled again, 'I know, it's simply stunning. I mean, I didn't choose it but it's something I would have chosen...which shows how much he knows and loves me.'
Retch.com, Ada thought as she turned her bored gaze and attention away from the daft gushing taking place. As she looked around, she saw something that made her heart freeze. Was that...
