Forever His Princess

AMARI ROUSSEAU

We pulled up in front of the Evans' family home and it was stunning. It was also twice the size of the house Nikolai shared with his family. "You live in a castle!" Manny shouted, looking up at the mansion. Nikolai laughed and took his hand.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to Millie and Myles."

Me and Nikolai went to the room where the party was being held. It was more informal, similar to a garden party but just indoors because it wasn't warm enough to be outside.

"Is it bad that I'm kinda nervous?"

"Why you nervous?"

"Because I have to meet your family."

"You've already met most of them and they love you already. Besides-"

"You came!" A voice shouted from behind us. We turned around to see Alexander and Ellie, Nikolai's parents.

"You didn't give us much choice, Mum." She rolled her eyes and came to hug me.

"Hi."

"Hey, honey. You look as gorgeous as ever."

"Thank you. Your party is amazing and your home is really beautiful." I said as she pulled away with a smile and thanked me.

"We have to go around and greet the other guests but we'll see you again in a bit." Alexander said before they both left.

"Come, let's go to my brothers. My sister should be with them too." He took my hand and led me to a different room with his brothers, Mae and Liv.

"Girl, you look stunning."

"Thank you, Liv." I said as I sat next to her. "Mae, how you doing?"

"I'm good, very nervous though."

"Have you both met their parents?"

"I have, they loved me of course. But Mae hasn't yet."

"You'll be fine, don't worry." I whispered to her.

Liv and I spent the next hour or so getting to know Mae and she was so sweet. Turns out she half black, half Latina. She's fluent in Spanish too. Her and Blue were officially dating and the twins loved her.

I'm really happy for the both of them.

A woman came barging in through the door with a loud squeal and we stared at her in confusion. "Guess who's back!" She shouted. I looked at her closely and realised it was their sister, Alexa.

"Hey, Lex." They said, going over to hug her. "I thought you said you were bringing your boyfriend with you."

"I was but then he cheated on me."

"You want us to deal with him?" Nikolai asked with a serious expression on his face.

"Don't worry, I've sorted it." She said and whispered something, which I couldn't hear, with a grin on her face. Alexa gasped loudly as she turned to face us. "You're all so pretty." She hugged us one by one. "How did you guys end up with those idiots? Run while you have the chance." She whispered loudly, making us laugh.

"It's nice to meet you, Alexa." I said.

"Wait, let me guess. Er... Amari?" I nodded. "I knew it, Nikolai has not stopped talking about you. Has he asked you to be his girlfriend yet?" She asked and I looked over at Nikolai, who was looking everywhere but at me. "That means you two are Olivia and Mae." They both greeted her. "We are going to be the best of friends." She said excited.
