NELLIE

A month ahead.

Today is Nala & Angelo's wedding & I am currently getting dressed. I jumped up when Leo barged into my room, my heart pounding against my chest.

"You scared the shit out of me." I hold onto my chest & sigh.

"Lo siento." He spoke in Spanish.

"You look so beautiful." He flashed me a smile & my heart flutters. He shuts the door behind him & approaches me, wrapping his arms around me.

He began planting kisses all over my face & I giggled.

"You look handsome." I whispered as my fingers ran through his dark wet curls.

He is wearing a grey suit with a white dress shirt under.

"Mhm."

He continued showering me in kisses, his hands finding their way onto my ass. He squeezed my ass in his hands & I whimper.

"You look so good, I want to eat you."

"That's cannibalism sir." I joke & he snorts.

"Are you ready to walk down the aisle with heels?" He chuckled & a loud sigh leaves my lips.

"No, but If I fall flat on my face as I'm walking, I'm moving countries & I'm changing my identity." I whispered & he laughed.

"I hope you won't." He kissed my cheek & slapped my ass once again before pulling away.

"Let's hope not." I fixed my dress & he smiled.

"A kiss for good luck?" He poked out his lips & I nodded my head.

I walked over to him slowly & wrapped my arms around his neck. He slightly leaned down & captured my lips into a deep kiss. He cups my ass in his hands & lifts me off the ground.

He groaned, our tongues moving swiftly against each other's. There's a knock at the door & he sighed. He puts me down gently & backs away.

I smile & he winked at me before heading for the door opening it revealing Angelo.

"Angelo?" Leo & I said at the same time.

"I feel like I'm about to shit my pants. What if she decides to say no last minute?" He panicked as he walked into my room. He began pacing back & forth.

"She won't." I reassured & he takes a seat on the small bench.

Leo sat beside him & rubbed his back trying to calm his nerves.

"What if-" I cut him off.

"No what ifs. She won't, trust me." I smiled at him & he let out a shaky breath.

"Okay okay. I feel a bit better." He spoke as he stood up. He turns around & as he's about to leave, he faced me.

"You look beautiful by the way, just make sure you don't fall because I will laugh at you." He laughed & I flipped him off.
