Bravo 🤍

Thirty-Six

"That's Michelle!" Nikki stands up from the couch in the Bravo living room where she sits with Lucas as the front door opens. She meets her sister in the foyer, wrapping her in a giant hug. "I still don't know why I wasn't allowed to pick her up." She glares at Adrienne and Marie behind her as Lucas's brothers and Sam enter behind them.

"I'm so excited for your wedding, Nik." Michelle exclaims excitedly.

Nikki laughs, looking at the other two women. "I guess it's time for the parties now?"

"How did you know?" Marie teases with a smirk. "Come on. We have a nice, relaxing spa day planned for the women."

"And what are they men doing?" Nikki glances between Sam and François as they both shrug. "Please tell me..." Marie only laughs as she holds out her hand. "What?!"

"Give me your phone. Both of you." She glares at Lucas as he comes up behind Nikki, placing his hand on her back. Lucas rolls his eyes but hands over his phone as Nikki does the same. "Once we leave the house, you two are not allowed to talk to each other. So, say goodbye."

Nikki glances awkwardly up at Lucas as everyone watches. "Can we have a minute?"

"2 minutes," Marie scoffs before shooing everyone else out of the house as Nikki laughs.

She turns back to Lucas with a grin. "I'll miss you today."

"I know. Me too. But tomorrow, you will become Nichole Bravo and you'll never be rid of me."

"So, I still have time to back out then?" She teases as he gasps, squeezing her sides. "I'm kidding!" She wraps her arms around him as he wraps his arms right around her. "It was too late to turn back a long time ago."

"For me too." He rests his hand delicately on her cheek as he leans down to kiss her, groaning slightly as he feels her tongue. He pushes her against the wall, granting her access as he takes over the kiss, deepening it before he hears someone clear their throat behind him. He pulls away with a sigh as Marie rolls her eyes.

"Seriously guys. It's like the last time you'll ever see each other every time you're together."

Lucas shrugs, following them out of the house. "I'm not sorry we're in love." He winks at Nikki as she giggles, being dragged away to a separate car than him.

"Oh, this is great." Nikki lays back as the girls are treated to pedicures and foot massages. "What are the guys doing?"

"Don't worry. François rented a yacht for the day. They are drinking and swimming and snorkeling." Marie reassures her as Adrienne nods in agreement.

"And tonight?"

"Tonight, we are going dancing... We aren't getting you all dolled up just for your wedding," Michelle teases, nudging her sister.

"That sounds like fun, but I meant the guys..."

"What are you so worried about? Lucas loves you," Adrienne offers with a sigh. "And so does François and Sam. They would never let Lucas do anything you wouldn't be comfortable with."

"Okay, okay. I know. Thanks guys." She looks at Marie with a grin. "How are you and Sam? How long has it been now?"

"A little over a year. We're great. He's so great. He's fun and hot, but he's totally going to make me fat. He's always cooking for me."

Nikki laughs, nodding. "Lucas is a great cook too. Not professional chef like Sam good, but great, nonetheless. I swear I haven't found anything he can't do. It's a little sickening to be honest sometimes." The girls all laugh as she looks at her sister. "And you?"

"I may have started dating someone recently. But it's honestly too soon to say anything. I don't want to jinx it."

"Adrienne? You and François?"

She shrugs slightly. "He's great. He wants to take things slow after the divorce and... everything else." She drops her eyes from Nikki. "He's been really open about everything that happened."

"What has happened? Nothing happened..."

Marie and Michelle both laugh, cutting Nikki off. "Besides the fact he was in love with you?"

"Marie!" Nikki groans, shaking her head as she looks up at Adrienne. "No. He had a crush. Nothing ever happened between us, not even a kiss. And feelings were never reciprocated."

Adrienne chuckles, waving her hands. "It's all fine, really. François told me the same. It doesn't bother me, or I wouldn't be here."

"Good," Nikki sighs, relieved, leaning back again in her chair.

"Isn't this dress a little short?" Nikki complains, pulling the barely there dress the girls insisted she wear down. It barely covered necessary parts as Marie laughed.

"Come on, you look hot. Now, we're going to drink and dance and have fun." She hooks her arm through Nikki's as Michelle does the same thing on the other side of her as they lead her to a table in the corner of the club. Marie disappears immediately, coming back with shots.

Nikki groans, but takes the shots given to her before she's dragged to the dance floor. Halfway through a song she feels a warm body against her back before she feels the hot breath on her neck.

"Bonsoir, jolie fille," Lucas whispers against her neck, pressing a small kiss on her shoulder.

She giggles, turning to face the familiar voice. "I'm sorry, I don't speak French. Besides..." She holds up her left hand to show him the ring on her finger. "Fiancé."

"Désolé... il n'a pas besoin de savoir..." He smirks as she giggles again, biting her lip. "Danse avec moi," he demands, turning her away from him before pulling her back against his chest with his hand on her stomach. He groans when she pushes back against him, rubbing her ass on his cock. (Sorry... he doesn't have to know. Dance with me.)

She grins, turning back to him. "Kiss me." She barely has the demand out before he crushes his mouth against hers aggressively, his hand traveling down to her ass.

"Tu embrasses un étranger..." he breathes against her mouth. "Tut tut." He grabs her hand as she giggles, and he drags her from the dance floor. (You kissing a stranger...)

He pulls her into a private VIP room with the rest of their friends as she chuckles and he sits, pulling her into his lap. "Was this always the plan?"

"Please, like you two could spend an entire day and night apart." Marie rolls her eyes as Nikki giggles. "You get a few hours before we go home, and the boys go to the château."

"Why do the boys get the château?"

Lucas laughs, dragging his hand up Nikki's thigh. "Because I have to go and pick you up and bring you. We can spend the night there after the wedding."

"Can we?" She asks excitedly as he laughs, nodding.

"Anything you want."

"Ugh!" Marie scoffs, grabbing Nikki's arm as she kisses Lucas goodbye.

"I love you. I'll see you tomorrow?"

"I love you, doll. My feet are quite warm." He smiles at the large grin he receives from her. "I'll see you tomorrow. Bonne nuit, mon amour."

"Goodnight, Luke." She turns to take one more glance at him to find him watching her being dragged away before François does the same with him.
