Scrambling off from on top of Nico, I started fixing my dress while looking in the mirror. Nico was more panicked then I was, having taken off significantly more clothes. Through the mirror I could spot him struggling to button his shirt while pulling up his droopy pants.
"Sagie?" The voice called out again closer, and I could confirm it was my sister. Alice.
"Stay quiet, maybe she won't notice." I spoke quietly, rapidly fixing my hair while Nico cursed under his breath from struggling. Her footsteps got closer with each second. Shit.
I watched the doorknob turn open with a panicked expression, looking back and forth between Nico and the opening door. "Sage! I've been looking for you everywhere..." Alice's voice slowly became quiet as she examined Nico next to me.
Looking behind me to stare at Nico, his shirt was half buttoned and his jacket was still thrown on the floor. At least his pants were buckled. The half buttoned shirt exposed many of his tattoos, an awkward smile on his face.
"Alice! This is... Nico. My boyfriend." Alice shot me a confused look with pursed lips.
"Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt whatever you were doing." Alice picked at her cuticles, trying not to seem too awkward with the situation that we were in.
"It's all right." Nico buttoned up the last of his buttons before walking over to Alice and shaking her hand. Just like my father, Alice was hesitant at first but eventually gave in. "I'm Nico as you already know. Nice to meet you, Alice."
"Anyways, what do you need Alice?" I didn't care if I was being slightly rude, Alice knew exactly what she was doing by inviting me as well as marrying my ex. She had on her wedding dress that was tightly hugging her body up until her knees where it fell down. She looked good, but I wouldn't tell her that. She hadn't apologized or bothered to reach out to me, so why should I be supportive? I'm just petty like that.
"Dad told me that you were here, so I wanted to see you. What, I can't see my sister?" It was conversations like these that made me livid at her. She was just like my mother.
"Don't start your shit Alice. Let's just go to your room, yeah?" Alice irritatedly nodded her head before proceeding to walk out of the room. I looked back to Nico once more, grabbing his hand before dragging him out of the room as well.
Entering Alice's room, my mom, along with a bunch of other strangers were scattered everywhere and chatting up a storm. Immediate regret hit my body.
"Guys! Sagie is here with her boyfriend, Nico." Alice took a deep breath as she said those words, sitting down in front of a vanity next to her bed before adjusting her hair. By the looks on everyone's face, I already knew Nico was not what these rich people were used to. They can all go to hell.
"Hey everyone." Smiling shyly, my mom quickly came speeding towards me with full force and forcing me into a hug.
"Sagie, look how beautiful you look!" Keeping her hands on my shoulders, Mary examined my body before giving me a grin. "I knew you were flashy like your momma." I could tolerate Mary at times like these, especially with the fact that she wanted to be younger than she was. She had always loved when we dressed scandalous, with bling of course. Mary would have a heart attack if I wore something cheap. "And here's Nico. I've been waiting for you." My mom shot a flirtatious wink, pulling him into a tight hug before keeping her hand on his chest. She's a milf.
"Ok, that's enough." Pulling my mom away from Nico, I planted my feet firm next to him while shooting an apologetic look.
"Nice to see you again, Mary." I could visibly see my mom fanning over Nico and it made me sick to my stomach.
