Chapter Thirty

"So , how do you like it so far?"
"It's a big party."
"For us. For the adults, they pay tons. Plus other companies sponsor us."
"Oh. So, when do we have to do what we practiced?"
"It could be at any time." The head chef came out of the kitchen and rang a bell.
"Ladies and gentelmen, may I have your attention please." Everybody turned towards him and stopped talking. "Dinner is ready so you may all find your seats." He dissappered back into the kitchen as the crowd approached the table. My mom sat next to me.
"Are you two having fun?"
"Yeah." We both answered. Corey sat down across from my mother. I turned to glare at Corey, but Tay turned my head back with his hand.
"Don't pay attention to him Love. Ignore him." Mr. Robertson rang a little bell, and everybody fell silent.
"Now that everybody is here, we can begin the festivities. One of our policies in this business is family togetherness. To promote this closeness with friends and family, we have a kissing contest. Our first contestants will be Rachel and Ian McCoy."
"Way to go mom!"
"Good luck Rachel, Ian." Tay called down to them. Rachel and Ian turned to eachother and performed their task.
"Oh. The rules haved changed a bit. The object is now timed. Whichever couple gives the best show in two minutes, wins." Mr. Robertson's stopwatch was going, and two minutes were finally up, but my parents kept going. They didn't care. Everybody looked at me, so I tapped my mom on her shoulder.
"Time to come up for air guys." The people laughed. They still didn't stop, so I got up and put my hands between their faces and pried them apart. "You can stop now."
"Oh." They sat forward and faced the rest of the grinning company.
"Let's eat!" Mr. Robertson called out. During dinner he called on three, then four more couples. Tay and I were getting more and more nervous as the time passed. During desert, two more couples were called on, the bell rang one more time as we were all getting up to go dance. Everybody stopped to listen for who the next lucky couple was.
