Mila

"Seriously, if he wanted a bride he could have hit me up!" I hear through the door as I finish up using the bathroom.

Another girl laughs. "Gross Caro, he's your cousin."

"Not by blood, my stepmother is his mother's sister, so technically...." She laughs.

"You're disgusting!"

"I'm just saying, I'm way prettier too." I open the bathroom door, glaring at the two girls who both look like they've just seen a ghost.

"Oh don't let me stop you! I'm sure your friend here would like to know more about how much you want to fuck your cousin." I smile at her as I make my way back into the kitchen, avoiding the party as I just want it to be over.

It was bad enough I had to marry Gio tomorrow, but sitting through this? Take me out with a brick.

As I'm walking towards the kitchen I see one of Gio's family members whom I met at brunch, Rose, and from what I remember she was not a fan of me, I turn around and smile as I notice Sergio.

Making my way over I smile. "You gonna go out there or just gawk at everyone all night?" I ask as I stand next to him, he leans against the door frame watching the party.

He chuckles. "I'm not really a party person, especially when it comes to Giovanni's family."

I raise a brow at that. "Seriously? I wouldn't expect that from you... you seem like the life of the party." I smile, he turns so his back is leaning against the door frame and he's facing me, he looks so good in his full black suit, he had a drink in his hand, and the way he leaned...

He chuckles. "I can be, at times." I get the impression that under Sergio's outgoingness is really a shy and quiet man, kinda like a mask.

"Well, we're the same I guess," I go and lean against the wall next to him. "I'm not the biggest fan of parties or huge gatherings." He smiles at that, and it makes him look even better.

Giovanni let Lia suck him off the night before our wedding, would it be so bad for me to sleep with Serg? The thought crosses my mind faster than I could stop it and my face heats up.

"You okay?" He raises a brow.

"Fine," I say as I look around the room. "Where's your brother?" I ask.

"Probably in the kitchen with V."

"Victoria?" I ask and he nods. "That's... oddly cute." The two can make the whole couple thing work.

Sergio chuckles. "Yeah, but he's got too much pride to act on his feelings."

"What about you?" I ask, he leans his head against the wall, tilting it to look down at me, fuck he was tall.

"What about me?" He asks.

"Anyone you like?" He just shakes his head at my question. "I don't do the whole dating thing." He says.

I nod. "You just do the sleeping with girls thing," I say and he has a fake hurt look on his face as his hand goes to his chest.

"Ouch, is that who you take me for?"

"Am I wrong?"

"Very... I don't sleep around." He says as he takes a drink.

Great, there goes my chance.

He chuckles, shit did I say that out loud? I'm guessing my face gave away my thoughts. "Yeah, and I'd rather not be killed by my best friend either." He says raising a brow.
