Essence

"No!" I slapped away the makeup brush from my face for the millionth of time "why do I have to wear makeup" i groaned

Bri huffed in annoyance and looked at me with a stern face "Ess come on it's just a small bit"

I looked at her "your face is already perfect I'm just going to put mascara lipstick and a bit of blush and maybe a small tinsy winsy bit of concealer" she raised her hand pinching her thumb and pointer finger together "just to cover some bags" she finished

I narrowed my eyes "if I find it annoying or cakey it's off" I warned her she smiled widely and nodded

I hated makeup, never been the type to wear it, I don't mind people who do I appreciate them in taking the time to do it but it honestly just annoys me

Bri had done my hair making my straight hair curled and hanging loosely down my back,

"You don't think that this dress is to much for a party" I asked smoothing it down as I stood up

She looked at me and pressed her lips together "I don't think it's the type of party you think it is babe" she said walking out of the room her long dress bringing out her curves as it tightly hugged her body

I followed behind her lifting my dress the smallest bit so I didn't trip over, I kept my eyes to my feet convincing myself I could walk perfectly in heels, the front strands of my hair falling in front of my face front my back

I walked down the stairs, one foot after the other Essence it can't be that hard. Halfway down the stairs I heard all the talking become quiet making me stop and look up, I rested one of my hands on the railing and the other still holding my dress up

I looked to see everyone waiting at the end of the stairs, fuck this is cliche, i bit the bottom of my lips as they all looked at me with their jaws dropped

"Guys?" I laughed continuing to walk down the stairs "is it bad?" I thought worried, I needed to stop overthinking

"Essence you're so fucking hot" Easton walked to me taking my hand to help me with the last step I smiled back

"Thanks" I laughed awkwardly I looked around not seeing the one face I found myself looking for, why did I want to see him?

"So where's Killian?" I asked innocently,that came out fucking obvious, I mentally rolled my eyes and saw everyone smiling at me knowingly "what" I shook my head more strands falling in front of my face

"Nothing" Bri said

"He's supposed to be here" Fraser said coldly and went onto his phone, what's his problem?

I bit my lip and nodded slowly, "let's go" I heard a deep voice behind me and a pause of the foot steps

I turned my head around to see Killian staring straight back at me his eyes filled with an unrecognizable look in them

I heard footsteps behind me fade away but I was unable to move

I looked him up and down seeing the sleek suit that looked perfectly pressed and fitting just for him, woah

He looked me up and down slightly boosting my confidence as he did the exact thing I did, he looked me back into my eyes and walked towards me

"You look gorgeous" he said looking me dead in the eye, he meant it.

"You too" my eyes bursted out "I mean— you look good as well-fuck" crap I swore

He raised his brows tilting his head the slightest bit this time a smile laced his lips "I know mouth, language, don't have to tell me " I rolled my eyes and turned around to open the door until he grabbed my hand back

He walked in front of me and touched the handle instead opening it first for me to walk through his hand still intertwined in mine our body heats tangling

I haven't held hands with any guy since him, and I'm questioning myself on why it feels so comfortable we walked silently towards the limo that was infront of the house

"What the hell kind of party is this" scratch out clubs or partying this was too freaking formal for me I'm not used to any of these things "I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb" I mumbled

I felt a squeeze on my hand making me look his way "stop overthinking " he said opening the door revealing everyone

"Hi again ditchers" I smiled stepping in sitting right beside Fraser I looked at him sending him a smile but receiving a tight lipped nod, I took a breathe in and looked around

"So where we going?" I asked

"A ball" my eyes popped out of their sockets almost as I looked at Zail

"Are you serious" he nodded smirking at my reaction

"Someone could have told me" I rolled my eyes laying my head back

"You're being dramatic" Killian mumbled beside me

I looked at him as if he was crazy "the fanciest thing I'm used to is probably store bought water" I said back to him

They opened drinks and passed them around "oh I don't drink" I said passing it farther down ignoring the confused stares

"So no date tonight?" Easton asked Zail sending me a smile, I looked at him greatfully for changing the conversation

"Nah" Zail shook his head "I don't do dates" he shrugged "and were in business tonight as well"

"Wait you mean somethings happening tonight" I asked

Zail nodded his head as it was Jacobs turn to speak up "there's a trade happening so" he said

"What are you guys trading" I asked curiously

"Don't ask questions you aren't ready for" Killian squinted his eyes a bit looking from the window to me

I looked at him confused "why is it like drugs or something" he raised his brows

What am I saying of course it's fucking drugs, I rolled my eyes

"At least it's not innocent people" i said

"Not innocent" Easton replied I looked his way, so was it still humans

"Huh" I asked as the limo came to a stop

"Saved by the stop" I yelled walking out, I scoffed as Killian stepped out still holding my hand and helping me walk out I look behind me seeing Neil holding Bris hand as she tried to come out

"Ok we're good" she smiled straightening her dress "i usually never attend these cause I hate being involved but since Essence is here" she smiled walking to me kissing my cheek "I have an excuse to dress up"

I smiled at her before looking back at Killian and whispering into his ear before we stepped into the door "so is there like other criminals here" I asked him he looked to me and grinned

"It's not a bad word you know, that, you can actually say" he smiled as if he ruled my vocabulary

"Whatever just answer me—loser" I stopped myself from swearing towards him causing a laughter to abrupt from him

"Yes Essence everyone is" he remarked back

My eyes went wide for the millionth time again tonight "so that's why you stay by me or my men at all times" he said seriously

You don't have to tell me twice
