"I love you so much." Her words are chopped in between kisses and I soak in all the attention she's giving me.
"Love." I say breathlessly. "Isn't a strong enough word to describe what I feel about you."

"He asked what?!" Niko yells and i throw a brush at him. I'm currently getting ready to meet Damon for breakfast while telling Niko about me going to the masquerade ball later. He's not taking it lightly.
"If you keep distracting me I'm not gonna be able to finish telling you everything before I leave." I say picking out an outfit to wear.
"Your trying to ditch tea time with me to meet with Devin?" Niko says offendedly. Did i mention Niko hates Damon?
"Don't say it like that which one should i wear?" He points to the second one before continuing his rant.
"This is a big deal Sage. This ball is like one specifically for the family and their friends. Key words family. His parents are going to be there why are you so calm?" Niko says looking at me crazy as i slide on my clothes.

"Maybe because there's no reason i should be. It's not like we date or something." I ignore his raised eyebrow walking to the bathroom to fix my hair. I want to wear it natural today.
"Stop looking at me like that."
"Stop saying dumb things then babes." He says helping me fix my hair.
"How is what I said dumb-"
"See you later I'll be back over when you finish meeting with Dillion so i can help you get ready. You have your pepper spray in your purse right? Good. Bye babes." Niko says rushing out the door.
This man.
Realizing i have a little time before meeting with Damon I open my laptop deciding to do my research since Niko made it seem like such a big deal. After reading for a while I take in all the information.
Apparently the Kingmans host an annual masquerade ball and only their closest friends , children, children's dates , and children's closest friends are allowed to come. I'll be meeting his entire family.
I dug deeper into the topic and I found out that Xan hasn't brought anyone to the ball since 2018. Which means I'll be the first in a while.
Totally not getting butterflies.
I click through the pictures to see who he brought back then and the butterflies are immediately replaced with insecurity. The woman in the photos had blond hair with a body I could only wish for. She had a beautiful red gown on and overall she's gorgeous.
Reading a few more articles attached to her picture I find out that her name is Ashley Dior and she's Xan's ex-girlfriend.
Awkwarddddd...
I hope they don't think I'm his girlfriend.
I snap the laptop close grabbing my purse seeing that I lost track of time. Damon better not complain. ~~~
