Wendy And Her Mafia Lover

Chapter 23: 22. Jayden's Performance



"What's with you two?" Zade asked Aaron as both him and Mary was still tied up to each other in a handcuffs as a panishment for kicking the staffs butt in the horror booth.

Mary is still flustered by what she knew about Aaron kisisng her that night and it wasn't a dream and she made a huge fuz on Jayden accidentally kissing her.

"Nah I just got caught into some trouble Boss." Aaron said as Wendy smiled at them.

"Anyway's I got third place in Pool." Wendy said as they were so proud of her. "The tournament was pretty hard and I really did my best yet they were much better than me." Wendy said as Zade agreed.

"If you'll practice more then you could achieve that gold in no time."Zade said as Wendy hugged him. "Kyaaa I'll win that gold medal soon babe." Wendy said as Aaron and Mary melts on the warm lovey dovey thing this two does in public.

"Anyway, Have you seen Jayden?!" Mary asked as she haven't seen him since this morning.

"I think they're already preparing." Wendy answered and smiled at Mary. "You don't need to worry about him, I put a good word on him. He'll be fine." Wendy said as Mary can't hlep it but be sad.

'She's right, as long as she says something motivating to Jayden then Jayden will be fine without my word.' Mary thought as Aaron saw how her emotions change in instance.

"Nah it would still be better if you find him and tell him to do his best right?" Aaron said. "Please excuse us for a minute Boss."He added as Zade dismiss them.

"Hey Aaron you don't have to do this. We already reunited with them." Mary said kowing how this means to Aaron being with Zade again since for him work is work.

"Aaron,..." Mary called as Aaron stop walking.

"Jayden is there, you can tell him to do his best." Aaron said pointing to Jayden as Mary looked at Jayden sitting on the side..

Aaron unlock the handcuffs by his hand without breaking any sweat as Mary run to Jayden and hugged him from behind.

"Mary?" Jayden asked as Aaron smiled as he slowly went back to where Zade and Wendy is.

"Goodluck on your performance." Mary said as Jayden smiled. "Thanks Mary..."

The show was about to start and Aaron went back with Zade without Mary. "Where is Mary? Wait aren't you tied up together?"Wendy asked.

"Nahh it's easy to break into that handcuffs and I..."

Sound of metal clicking...

"Oyyy! What are you doing?!"Aaron asked as Mary appeared out of nowhere and handcuff their hands together.

"Did you forget the penalty that I will receive if the staff see us not being tied up? Maybe it won't bother you but it will bother me so behave." Mary said knowing that the community service punishment is not her thing at all.

"Let's welcome The Angels!" The host introduced as all of their attention was on stage as Jayden was the main vocalist.

Mary's heart starts beating fast as the music starts...

"Die With A Smile" by Bruno Mars

Jayden smiled as Mary knew this is his love letter for Wendy and not for her. Yet she was happy seeing Jayden on stage.

(Ooh, ooh)

'Goodness that first note!' Mary said as Jayden got this.

I, I just woke up from a dream

Where you and I had to say goodbye

And I don't know what it all means

But since I survived, I realized

"Ehhh who's that girl next to Jayden?" Wendy asked as there is another female vocalist.

Wherever you go, that's where I'll follow

Nobody's promised tomorrow

So I'ma love you every night like it's the last night

Like it's the last night

Mary looked at the girl since she looked familiar to her.

If the world was ending

I'd wanna be next to you

If the party was over

And our time on Earth was through

I'd wanna hold you just for a while

And die with a smile

If the world was ending

I'd wanna be next to you

Jayden hit his notes as Mary smiled knowing how hard they train for this day. For Jayden to make Wendy proud and satisfy her with his performance.

(Ooh, ooh)

"Ahh the girl is about to sing..." Wendy said as Mary remembered her now.

Ooh, lost, lost in the words that we scream

I don't even wanna do this anymore

'Cause you already know what you mean to me

And our love's the only war worth fighting for

Mary looked pissed as how their harmony sounds so good.

Wherever you go, that's where I'll follow

Nobody's promised tomorrow

So I'ma love you every night like it's the last night

Like it's the last night

"Wow!" Zade said in amusement as what they did was a great harmony.

If the world was ending

I'd wanna be next to you

If the party was over

And our time on Earth was through

I'd wanna hold you just for a while

And die with a smile

If the world was ending

I'd wanna be next to you

Mary knew by then that she will never reach Jayden even if she'll try her best. Her feelings for him doesn't matter at all.

Right next to you

Next to you

Right next to you

Oh-oh

Jayden went this far for Wendy and all Mary can do is support him even if she finally realized her feelings for him.

If the world was ending

I'd wanna be next to you

If the party was over

And our time on Earth was through- Girl

Aaron saw how sad Mary looked as he gave Mary his cap.

I'd wanna hold you just for a while

And die with a smile

If the world was ending

I'd wanna be next to you

If the world was ending

I'd wanna be next to you

"You don't need to stop yourself from crying." Aaron whispered as Mary hide her face on Aaron's cap.

(Ooh, ooh)

I'd wanna be next to you

'Indeed Jayden, if the world is ending I wanted to be next to you and yet I am not Wendy. What should I do?'

Everyone clapped their hearts out for the Angels.

"Now do we have someone here to challenge the Angels performance?!" The host asked as it was part of the school festival and the students starts to murmur.

"Here!" Aaron said as he raised his hands together with Mary as their hands are in handcuffs.

"Ehhhhhh?!!!" Zade and Wendy's reaction as Aaron dragged Mary to the stage.

"Looking at your handcuffs your the rumored powerful couple that participate in that ramen challenge!" The host said as everyone was excited.

"Hey Aaron, what the hell are you thinking bringing me here?" Mary whispered to him as Aaron smiled.

"You practiced too right? Every midnight. I cannot let that effort go to waste." Aaron said as Mary looked at the crowd cheering for them.

'I did practice, But Jayden never really picked me to be his partner.' Mary said to herself as she looked at Jayden with her partner.

Jayden thumbs up as a sign of go and Aaron smirked.

"Ohhh those two are really hitting it off..." Wendy said as Zade smiled.

"Yeah but Aaron won't go further than that." Zade said as Wendy looked at him.

"Why?" Wendy asked as Zade just smiled. 'I just know that he won't.' he said to himself.

Aaron always knew that Mary is practicing by herself every midnight when everyone was asleep yet Aaron don't usually sleep since he's more on a look out.

Mary's voice is calm and very pleasing to the ears. Jayden should have picked her to be his partner with those powerful vocals.

Aaron smiled as he take a peak on Mary singing...

'It would be a total waste of talent if Jayden will not choose her as his partner.' Aaron said to himself.

The next following days, Mary run to Wendy and told her that Jayden stole her first kiss. Aaron smirked hearing such things since he knew that he was the one who got that first kiss.

Aaron was very observannt to everyone in the house since he cannot let his guard down. One time Jayden and Mary talked in the garden as Jayden told Mary that he will be choosing another partner since he cannot risk making Wendy think that there is something going on with these two.

Aaron looked at how sad Mary's eyes is yet she smiled fakely and said to Jayden...

"It's okay Jayden, I didn't expect that you will choose me as your partner in stage. I'm also not good in singing in front of other people." Mary lied.

Aaron knew that it was a lie since he already did a background research with Mary and Mary always participates in singing contest ever since she was young.

'To lie so she can support the person she love's from a far is a courage to take without tearing up in pain in front of Jayden. I'm a bit impressed' Aaron thought and smirked as he went back to the Library where Zade is working.

Mary grabbed the mic as the music starts.

'So she'll really sing huh?' Aaron said to himself as Mary sigh and everyone cheered for them as the powerful duo.
