LOVE GAMES

CAMILA

After having a blissful weekend with Niko, I was so ready for reality but ready to see my family and friends. I don't how to keep this a secret, especially from my best friends. How should I tell Sofia that I am fucking her twin brother in a no-string relationship? She is gonna be here, along with Dahlia and a whole of other families. My mom along with her friends aunt Ava and aunt Jules are also gonna be here to support aunt Stella's new fashion line. Niko is coming with me but we parted ways on our way to the hotel.

On reaching the hotel, I quickly freshened up to meet my girls. Despite our ages and profession we still stay together through thick and thin and it kills me to keep such a secret from them. When I reached the rooftop pool, they were already hanging out and drinking mimosas.

"Bitch where were you? I tried to call you the whole weekend." Sof complained.

"I was enjoying some me time." I made puppy eyes.

"That was the lamest excuse I have ever heard," D says.

"Agreed. So coincidently, my brother also disappears for a long weekend after I told him you were attending the Milan Valentino fashion show." Sof said. That's how he came to know where I was.

"I don't know what you are talking about. How would I be aware of his whereabouts?" I tried to remain oblivious

"You are tanned," D commented scanning my body.

"Is there anything I should know?" Sof turned towards asking me very seriously.

"No, not right now." I shrugged

"You know I am there for you. Even if it's about my asshole brother." She popped a chocolate cover strawberry in her mouth.

"He is not an asshole."

"Your opinion does matter." She pointed a finger towards me. Ouch.

"Ughhh, leave him. Has your mom show you the dresses we are going to wear?" I asked D ignoring the topic.

"Aunt Stella is being over secretive about them." Sof also tuned in.

"She said I quote "I am going to send your dads into a heart attack," D says.

"Oooo I like it, then." Sof sing sang.

"My dad was already dying when I told him I am gonna model for mom's line." D chuckled "He said I am too young."

"Well yeah, you're only 21" I replied.

"Hey, you are only 2 years older than me." she pointed towards my soda. "Why aren't you drinking? It will help to calm your nerves."

"Alcohol makes me bloated. I am not afraid. Did you forget I am the future queen?"

"Never, Your Highness" they both joked

We just sat eating, drinking and discussing the past few days of our lives. It felt so normal to b like this again. Gossiping with my besties

After catching up, we were lying there when Dahlia got a call summoning us backstage. Our mothers were already there helping aunt Stella. We quickly set off to meet them. Aunt Stella has set up Faishon Show Hotel National des Invalides. It was gonna be a blockbuster. We were too excited about it. On reaching our destination, One of the bodyguards was able to get us away from the entrance which was swamped with media. He even guided us backstage to where all the vanity rooms were.

We entered the one that said 'Family'. Our moms were hanging out there along with Aunt Jules but Aunt Stella was missing in action.

"Hello, ladies." Sof, Dahlia and I announced together.
