I wake up and remember I have a nail appointment and immediately wake up and check my phone for the time.

9:42 A.M.

My appointment is at eleven and I rush up and put on a matching white cropped tank top and a tight white skirt with a light pink jacket. I put some white sandals on and a necklace. I wake Azyra up and she rushes up and puts on a matching black velvet outfit and puts a necklace on along with her nike air forces.

We speed out of the house and Nikolai rushes after us. He gets in the front seat because he knows the way I'm acting.. I'll speed way too fast. I check the time when we get in the car..

10:01 A.M.

We put our seatbelts on and Nikolai starts to drive out of our driveway..

"Speed please! We've got to go!" I rush him.

"I'm going as fast as I can without killing us right now, CC." Nikolai says, using my nickname he got from my parents. See, he's like an older brother.

"Oh my god." I breathe out and lean against the window. I mean.. it is my fault for waking up so late. I had an alarm set but if I'm too late I'll just give them more money.

We arrive at the nail place called, 'Deluxe Nails'. We check in and they have us sit down and I show them a picture of what I want. Which is, white french tips and glitter kiss marks that are shades of light pink glitter and dark pink glitter on my middle and ring finger. My other three nails I want little small circle rhinestone jewels along the bottom of them. I think they're so cute.

Azyra got white french tips with little circle rhinestones dotted on them, along with two small gold butterflies on her ring fingers. Super cute, they suit her so well.

Nails take a long time and especially who does it.

The person who did my nails was really good at it and even super nice. I gave him a seventy five dollar tip and his face was so so so wholesome and sweet and I left another twenty dollar tip as I got up and thanked him. He gave me a huge smile and I smiled back and went over to pay for me and Zyra's nails.

I paid for our nails and took a few photos of our nails and sent it to the family group chat. We go to the car and we decide to go to a cafe and get something to eat and drink. Nikolai drives to the nearby cafe, only a few blocks away from the nail salon.

We get out and walk into the small building. The aroma consisted of coffee and pastries. I order a coffee milkshake with two brownies. Zyra orders a caramel macchiato with a chicken sandwich. Nikolai orders french onion soup with breadsticks and a water.

We all sit together at a booth with our order number after we make our orders. The booth has white seats and a light green table, with a bouquet of flowers in the middle. Soft music fills the quietness.

"So where are my parents right now?" I ask Nikolai.

"At a ball, trying to make more allies." Nikolai replies, he's not supposed to tell me much about what my parents do but he knows I won't say anything so he tells me some stuff anyways. He won't ever tell me details and stuff like that but honestly.. I couldn't care less.

"I don't even know where my parents are, they know I'm safe with you and Nikolai. That's all they need to know I guess." Azyra says, her parents say she doesn't need a bodyguard unless she's not out with me.

"How many siblings do you have? How old are they?" Nikolai asks Zyra.

"I have three, older twin brothers, and a older sister. My brothers are twenty seven and my sister is twenty five. We're not too far in age." She replies.

"Oh, you guys are all grown. Do all of you guys have to live under your parents roof?" He shoots another question at her.

"Nope, just me. My siblings are monitored and watched but that's about it." Azyra replies.

"Sooo.. have you guys found any boyfriends or girlfriends?" I ask them both to get the subject of Azyra's family away. It's not her favorite thing to talk about.

Nikolai shook his head no.

"I tried to talk talk to this one boy, his name was Louis, pronounced like loo-ees. His parents are french but he was raised here in the United States. He could speak french and that was kind of hot." Azyra says, her luck with guys isn't the best.

"Well.. what happened?" I ask.

"So we when on a date and once we got there we ordered our food. I got a steak with a roll and mashed potatoes, and he got some type of special chicken with macaroni and cheese and broccoli. Well when we got our food he started speaking in french as if I knew french and all I could understand was bonjour and laisse chacun. So I just nodded and when we had to pay he spoke in english and said 'Can you pay?' and I was like oh.. okay! So I paid and I called an uber because he would not take me home and I ghosted him!" She explains her story.

"Oh my god!!" I bust out in laughter and she starts to laugh as well. Nikolai chuckles because the speaking french part was sooo random.

We get served with our food and we sit and talk as we eat. This coffee milkshake is hitting different though. Every time Azyra says something, Nikolai looks at her like she's the only woman in the world.. it's actually so sweet.

She couldn't ever find sweet love, where it's just sweet, no sadness or anything. She has tried so many times, I feel bad for her. Azyra's a pretty, kind, determined, and literally anything good woman. Probably one of the best girlfriends a guy could even ask for but she always brings herself to horrible men and not even on purpose.

She doesn't mean to, she just does. It's what she attracts no matter how sweet and kind she is, but anyone who's hurt her like broke her heart which has been at least twice.. suffered the consequences.

We get up and I pay for our stuff and we go back to the car and head home..
