Now that he is far embarrassed, Charles lowered his head while he ate his food silently. "I heard you are a doctor" Mrs Gladys asked while looking at Charles breaking his silent mode. Charles looked up, a smiled just around the corner of his lips "yes, I am" he responded politely. He went back to eating but before he could put his spoon in his mouth he was asked another question "do you have a girlfriend" his spoon hanging in midair.
Charles turned to look at Jae Won who was busily fighting with Vincent for his meat on the plate. They all turned to look at Charles with answer the question on their faces especially Claudia. Claudia couldn't take her eyes off Charles and she was the most curious person to hear Charles's answer.
The moment she entered the mansion and saw Charles sleeping. She knew she has finally met someone she likes. She sneakily took a glance at the sleeping beauty making her the prince. So she curiously tilt her head to the left side of her head just to hear his answer as if without tilting her head she wouldn't be able to hear or the answer wouldn't be what she wanted.
Claudia heaved a deep sign of relief after she heard Charles's reply. "I don't have a girlfriend" he responded smiling as if that would pave way for him and Jae Won. Now silence surrounded the dining table which a sound of safety pin could be heard.
Two minutes of silence, Jae Won broke the silence "give me my meat" he angrily said it in the native language 'Twi'.
Click clang clunk
That's the sound of their spoon falling off from their hand just because Jae Won spoke Twi. "Huh, did I hear him well" Samuel asked looking around to met with surprised look on their faces. "Then I guess I heard him well" he said it all in English. Claudia turned to look at Samuel while smacked at the back of his head "of course, we all did".
Even Vincent was surprised because he said it perfectly like a native. Though he has been teaching him every night before bed but that sentence was so surprising. "Wait, have you been studying behind my back" Vincent asked with how could you have formed such a sentence look on his face.
While the rest of the family are surprised, Jae Won took the opportunity to take back his meat Vincent stole from his plate and went back to eating. "Seriously, is the meat that good" Charles asked but received no answer. Jae Won can finally eat some of the Ghanaian dishes like fufu, jollof ampesi.
After a few minutes, dinner was over and they cleared the plate from the dining table. Mrs Gladys went straight to sit on the couch while scrolling through the channels till she came across a channel that was playing soft, slow love music.
She started dancing and invited Vincent to join him. They dance for a few minutes and invited everyone except Samuel and Christiana to go do their homework.
After a few minutes, Vincent gaze fell on Jae Won who was talking to Charles and without hesitation, he went straight and pulled Jae Won to tha dance floor. "May I have a dance with you" Vincent said while he bowed gallantly and smiled so brightly. "Of course" Jae Won replied while he placed his hand on Vincent opened palm.
Jae Won confidently strode toward Vincent while his eyes never leaving him. Vincent felt a shiver down his spine with an uneasy feelings in his stomach. Mrs Gladys asked Charles for a dance so as Claudia and Wendell.
As the music intensify and they moved in perfect sync, their bodies rocking to the rhythm of the music. Vincent's hand slid around Jae Won's waist pulling him closer with a broad smile. Jae Won felt the warmth of his own body as the gentle touch of Vincent fingers on his skin.
Meanwhile Charles kept staring at Jae Won and Vincent with so many thoughts in his mind. Charles noticed Jae Won has some feeling for Vincent but not so sure if Vincent felt the same 'of course not, he is straight' he thought.
As they danced beautifully to the music, the world around them was melted away. It was just the two of them in their own designed universe, lost in the music and the moment they had just gotten. The dim light shone brightly on Jae Won's face broadcasting his handsomeness "you are really handsome" Vincent said to Jae Won. Jae Won's heart soared making him blushed as Vincent eyes wrinkled at the corners, his smile shedding light in the living room.
The beat dropped and they moved closer, their faces just an inches apart "I bet your boyfriend was so lucky to have had you" Vincent said again moving his face a little away from Jae Won's face. 'Shit, that was close. I almost lose my control' Jae Won thought with a sigh of relieved. He like Vincent but doesn't wants him to know or else he might lose him as he is aware he has had a girlfriend though it didn't end well. The tension between them could be feel and touch as it was physical and tangible with only a spark left to be ignited.
Charles who couldn't take his eyes off Jae Won kept staring at him and Vincent. He wanted to ask if Vincent has even a slight feelings for Jae Won. But how could he, they are in Ghana and to ask such questions will be the most stupid thing to do. "What are you staring and thinking about" Mrs Gladys asked which pulled Charles back to himself. Mrs Gladys turned to look at the pair that think there was no one here except them. "They've been really close from the moment Vincent brought him home. I'm not sure but there's something between them I can't quite put my finger on it" Mrs Gladys said.
While Charles was thinking a lot, Vincent and Jae Won was still in their own world. In perfect harmony, they swayed to the music and their bodies speaking it's own language that could be understand by them very well. I must say it was a dance of attraction of possibility of something more that is to come. "You dance perfectly" Jae Won said which made Vincent chuckled.
"Is it so surprising?" Vincent asked as he smirked while his gaze never leaving Jae's eyes. "No, not that. It's just I thought you could only dance Ghanaian traditional ones" Jae Won said while he laughed to it making Vincent laughed hard "I have no idea how our traditional dance are" Vincent said while he continued to laugh. "Don't blame me for my thoughts. It runs wild sometimes" Jae Won said as they both laughed together.
Claudia managed to switch with her mother to take her place. Claudia smiled beautiful to Charles 'this is the beginning of our love story' she thought. They danced, talked and laughed making Charles attention shifted a little from Vincent and Jae Won. Charles like Claudia but not romantically as we all know why. But he would love if Claudia could be his friend, is that gonna happen?. We have to see what the future holds.
As the song began to fade, Vincent's hand lingered on Jae Won's waist while his eyes holding to his. The room around them came back to focus but for Jae Won, nothing else mattered. His heart had been beating loudly from the moment he started dancing with Vincent till now. Jae Won knew, in that moment he has already fallen for Vincent and as clear as the sky.
They all started talking while resting when the music faded. Their attention was shifted to the opening of the door, which they all turned to look. Mrs Gladys walked towards her husband with excitement in her voice "oh hubby, you came late. We would have had the perfect dance for us" She said while she hugged Mr Jonathan tightly "we could have had a dance competition" she said as she burst out laughing so hard. "Let me heat up your food" she said while she entered the kitchen.
Mr Jonathan looked up at Charles and smiled "son, you are welcome once again. Visit whenever you have the chance" he said while he climbed upstairs to take a shower to have his dinner.
Claudia and Wendell went to their rooms. Charles has realized Jae Won has been using a phone when he came and wanted to ask so he could take his contact. But some weird reason, he couldn't till now 'I will get the a nice opportunity to ask' he thought.
Vincent and Jae Won entered the room to take shower so they could study a bit more. Charles went to take his shower and join them in their study. Charles couldn't help but laugh at Jae Won trying to learn the Twi so as Vincent with Korean. "But how did you learn the Korean" Charles asked Vincent who has lowered his head and his attention to the book lying in front of him.
Jae Won laughed and told him how he learned the language and how unique he thought he thought he could be. "You've gotten a phone" finally Charles asked and without hesitation he asked for Jae Won's contact before she fell that again.
"Now I can get in contact with you any time" Charles said.
