Twisted Sign

4. Cami

Our holidays will always be of three groups. The girl's group consists of Mom, Ava, Jules, and Stella. And the men's group whose only work is to see after their wife's every need. And then our group aka children's group. We'd always be chatting and playing until dinner. Dinner is where we all will be sitting and talking together.

"So, you're saying to me that you've never been kissed?" Dahlia asked, gasping for a dramatic effect. We came to sit in the backyard after all the birthday wishes.

"Yes, Lia." I nodded. I don't know why I have never done it, not like I haven't had many opportunities. Most of the boys in my school have made a move and even asked for a date, but it never interested me. How could it when I know they are only after me for my fame?

"Damn, you're living under a rock." She snorted.

"Can we please discuss something else other than my non-existent love or sex life?" I looked around to see if Sophia had come. All others have come except the Volkov family and I am missing Sophie, especially at this moment. If she came now, she could at least save me from Dahlia's embarrassing questions.

As if emerging from my thoughts, she came shouting into the backyard where we were chilling by the pool. "Girls!" she yelled as she came running, "Look who's here?" She gestured to herself. We both rolled our eyes at her antics. Anything can be changed in this universe except Sophie's over-dramatic expressions.

"Happy Birthday, Cami" She hugged me. I smiled and hugged her back.

"So, what are we talking about?" She turned to both of us, sitting opposite me and Lia.

"About Cami's non-existent love and sex life," Lia commented.

"No, we are not," I said as I mock glared at Lia. "Where is Nik?" I asked, just to change the subject.

"Oh, he went to see Jer." She gestured to the backyard entrance where they both were coming towards us.

"Hey girls," Jer said as he flopped near Lia with an arm around her shoulder. Her cheeks tinted pink as she looked above at him.

"Hey Jer" I replied as Niko came to sit next to me.

"Where is my greeting, babe?" Niko asked as he looked at me with a cheeky grin. One thing about Niko is he flirts, like flirts.

"You don't get a greeting," I replied to him as he hooked his arms with me.

"And why is that princess?" He looked at me with a fake pout.

"Drop the act, Nik. You didn't even call me once last year."

"Aww, did my little princess miss me?" He smirked.

"I can't with you." I hit him in the arm as he laughed.

"Before I forget, Happy Birthday, princess" He hugged me and patted my back.

We all then continued to chat till Mom came to call us for dinner.
