"Thank you." I smile politely at the waiter. I bring the glass of champagne to my lips, scanning the crowded room of serial killers for my best friend. 

"I saw her and Leo walk into the guest bedroom, maybe mama wanted them to get something from the guest room." Maya says, but I'm sure it's not what she thinks it is. 

"Oh." I mumble as a hand wraps around my arm, pulling me into another direction. 

Oh okay. 

"Gracelyn! It's so nice to finally meet you." A, very unfamiliar lady pulls me into a hug. 

"Uh- you too." I say, nervously because I have no idea who this lady is. 

"I'm one of Ricco's aunt's. Tatiana." She smiles at me, a gold tooth shining in my face. It's almost as if she was trying to introduce me to her golden tooth. 

I've met all of Ricco's aunts. I can't remember even hearing of her. 

"You are so beautiful Gracelyn." She fixes a lock of my hair. 

"Please, call me Grace." I tell her. 

"I'm so glad Ricco is getting married." She says and her golden tooth is once again introduced. 

"Aunt Tatiana." Maya says, pulling me closer to her. 

"Maya! You have gained a few pounds there carino." she chuckles at her oh so funny joke. Maya sighs. 

"I sure have." Maya chuckles. 

"Grace, Catherine tells me you're an event-" she's cut off by Maya. 

"Why don't we go get a drink?" Maya asks her and I eye her carefully. 

"That sounds lovely, we can discuss your marriage plans." Her aunt tells her and both our eyes widen. 

'I'll have soda dont worry.' She mouths to me. I nod and she walks away, with my soon to be aunt-in-law. 

This entire situation is so damn weird. 

"Here is the bride!" Catherine tells the couple she's walking towards me with. An attractive couple that look like complete opposites. She looks like a mean highschool girl. 

"Grace, this is Jace Wesley and his wife Kiara Wesley." Catherine introduces me to the couple. 

"Hi. It's nice to meet you." I smile at them. 

"Congratulations, Ricco and I are business partners.Well, not that business. Real business." Jace winks at me.  Catherine excuses herself as she walks away to greet other guests. 

"Thank you." I chuckle getting his somewhat joke. 

"You're so pretty!" His wife exclaims and I chuckle. If anyone is pretty, it's her. She's a beautiful, tall brunette with gorgeous skin. 

"Thank you. So are you." I tell her. 

"Where even is Ricco?" Jace asks looking around, his hand wrapped around his wife's waist. I want that. I want someone to claim me in a room of people. 

That's bad. 

No, what's bad is I want that, with Ricco. I want Ricco to claim me in a room, forget a room, in front of the whole world.  

But that's a bad idea right? 

Very very mad. 

"I wish I knew." I mumble, lowering my gaze. Ricco has been so busy today he barely said two words to me. But isn't that how this is going to be? He gets to run around doing his job and I sit at home, while he screws some stupidly lucky girl in his office.
