Currently Claire was very expressively thanking Juno, excitedly bouncing around and praising her for the red wine incident. Although the bride was quite concerned by the thought of her tripping and landing flat on her face.
"It was no problem at all Claire! Besides your brother caught me when I pretended to trip so all worked out well."
"MY BROTHER?" Claire felt like this was the perfect opportunity to do some meddling. Her brother needed to get out there, why not with her lovely wedding planner.
Juno sighed softly, "Yes Claire, your brother. speaking of I think I owe him a glass of red wine, you go have fun."
Now Juno had made no promises of giving Clay a glass of red wine but when she saw her friends eyes light up at the mention of her brother she instantly knew that Claire Hughes (now Claire Morrison) wanted to get involved.
Claire had always enjoyed the romance in life, she always wanted to set someone up or help someone with a date. Claire Morrison loved romance.
It wasn't that Juno didn't love romance but they certainly didn't see the upside to getting involved in any sort of relationship. She had sworn off of it ever since her sister had taken her high school girlfriend claiming she was simply too good for Juno.
Juno wasn't dumb. They knew that any partner who would leave her for her sister was no where near good enough for her, that didn't mean she hadn't given up on the idea of finding someone who wouldn't up and leave the moment they met her family.
Regardless she knew she would get an earful from Claire later if she were to find out that Juno had simply used the red wine as an excuse to escape, not an actual task to complete.
So Juno stalked over to the bar, ordering two glasses of red wine before turning around to survey the room for a tall, blonde man. They spotted him in the corner, once again leaned against the wall.
He was speaking to another man, shorter than him with somewhat short and puffy hair. They both looked quite attractive over there, Juno decided she would have to made this quick before they would chicken out.
When the bartender placed her drinks behind her, they spun back around and shot the bartender a smile, saying thank you for the wine. So with a deep breath Juno took off towards the two men.
"Hello, I think I owe you a glass of red wine." Juno stated, passing the glass off before turning to the other boy. It would simply be rude not to introduce herself.
"I'm Juno."
"Hello Juno, I'm Nick." The boys name was Nick. Juno took a quick note of that before turning back to Clay.
"I appreciated you letting me steal your wine earlier, I figured I would bring another one over before Claire made me." Juno was quite good at turning a small conversation into rambling and so they cut themselves off there.
Clay smiled at this.
"I hope it wasn't just my sister who made you come over. And I would be willing to give you my wine many times over to see the look on the horrible woman's face again."
Both laughed while Nick had a look of understanding. He had pieced together who this person was, hearing the story from Clay earlier.
Just as Juno was about to thank him again and walk away Clay spoke again.
"How do you know Claire and Mark?"
"Oh! I'm the wedding planner!" Juno shared an excited smile. She adored her work and was excited to share that they were the ones to make a lot of this happen.
Clay became quite excited at this. His sister had been telling him about the pretty wedding planner for quite some time, promising to introduce the two but never finding the right time. Nick knew this and he and Clay shared a look with each other, both mirroring the other's excitement at meeting said famed wedding planner.
The two boys were in the middle of inviting Juno to spend some time with them when Juno was quick to interrupt the invite.
"I'm sorry I wouldn't want to intrude, I just wanted to bring you some red wine as a thank you."
They were immediately taken aback when Clay and Nick both mirrored each other, "Your not a bother, we would love to get to know you." Immediately seeing the spoke at the same time they turned to each other, "Jinx!" "Jinx again!" "Jinx you owe me a soda!"
Juno giggled, stopping the jinx train. They found the pair quite funny, eventually agreeing to spend time getting to know them.
The trip spent the next few hours sipping red wine and getting to know the other. Juno learned that Clay liked black olives and the sound of rain. They learned that Clay and Nick has met over minecraft and how they had a friend George in England.
Clay learned that Juno would only drink gingerale for soda and that they enjoyed reading, especially in small cafes. He thought the young women was simply enchanting.
His sister was absolutely right, Juno was a bundle of sunshine and he wanted to get to know her better. So when the night came to and end both were quite upset to leave the other.
Nick had left then alone just over an hour ago, claiming that he was going to speak to "Drista", whoever that was.
It was time for Juno to leave, the wedding planner was no longer needed for any more duties and they had grown quite tired over the course of the day.
Clay immediately asked for her number, wanting to speak to her again. Juno obliged and gave it to him, officially ending their night.
Juno sat in the front seat of her car, smiling about the night. She had stopped drinking some time ago in order to drive safely and realized how entranced they were by the boy they had met that night.
They hoped he would text her soon.
