I tap my heels against the hard wooden floor as I sat in the corner of the large auditorium.
It looked way different from during my school days. More modern. In the middle of the room was a dance floor, full of people which was surrounded by i'm sure hundreds of tables.
I looked at my phone for the fifth time tonight. Nicolas said he would be here by now but it's been hours since his last text.
Picking at my nails, I look up at the couples having the time of their lives on the dance floor.
"Is he still not here?" I shake my head at Abby.
She gives me a sad smile, placing our drinks on the table.
"I heard Andrea's here with her third husband."
"No way!" We giggle like high schooler's.
"Ladies." Josh appears, looking drunk as he holds the chair next to me for support.
"What the fuck do you want?" Abby glares, taking a sip of her drink.
"Geez calm down. I wanted to meet that husband of yours." He smirks, looking in my direction.
"He's not here." I roll my eyes.
"Is he not here or is he not real?" The fucker bursts out laughing catching the attention of some people in the table next to us. "Y'know you've always been a liar. Faking stories to get attention. After all, you're only a attention seeking whore."
I clench my fists under the table, my nails digging into my palms as his voice grew louder.
"Listen here you little bitch, you have NO right to call my best friend a liar. You fucking cheated on her, remember?" Abby stands up from her seat.
"Or what? You gonna fight me?" He turns to Abby.
Abby begins to smirk as she folds her arms. "Not me, him."
Everyone turns to look in the direction of the entrance where Nicolas stood dressed in a black suit. The veins on his forehead were visble as he clenched his jaw.
"If she was lying about having a husband, I wouldn't be standing here, would I?" With every step he takes towards us, the air thickens with tension.
Nicolas's fist collides with his jaw and sends him flying directly on our table.
I hold back a scream as I quickly stand next to Abby.
Josh recovers quickly and launches at Nicolas but, he movies to the side and Josh lands on his stomach.
"If you ever, and I mean ever disrespect my wife or any other woman again, I will personally kill you with my bear hands." Nicolas's voice is menacing as he bends down to Josh's height. "Do you understand?"
Josh nods in fear, his face red with embarrassment and fear.
Nicolas turns to me, his hair slightly disheveled but it makes him look even more handsome. "Sorry for not being here earlier, a meeting came up."
"It's okay." I whisper, slightly startled.
Abby squeals and from the corner of my eyes I see her snapping a photo.
The three of us walk out of the auditorium as people stared at us in shock and fear. Nicolas opens the car door for me as I mumble a quiet "thank you." The ride home was quiet even with Abby being in the backseat. It was a comfortable silence though.
"Thanks for letting me stay the night." I hand Abby some extra clothes.
"It's no problem." We say our goodnights before I head back to my room.
The cool air hits me in the face as I walk in. I spot Nicolas standing on the blacony, a cigar in between his lips.
I stand beside him and we both look out into the backyard enjoying the peace.
He hands me a cigar and I look at him like he's grown two heads. "Are you crazy? I'm the one telling you to quit smoking and you're offering me a cigar?"
He shrugs. "More for me then."
I shake my head, smiling. "What?" I ask, as he stares at me.
"You have a beautiful smile." He admits.
"T-Thank you." Suddenly it's starting to feel hot.
"I know we both didn't want this marriage but, i'm here for you." There's a small tint on his cheeks.
"That means a lot, thank you." We both turn our attention to the backyard where we see Luca.
He runs out of the pool room, holding a towel to his waist while a blonde runs after him.
We burt into laughter as he locks the girl out of the house. She stomps her way through the garden and disappears.
