Cupids arrow gone wrong

Ch.20: shes a commoner

Saturday had arrived, and nelly was found in a very classy boutique store with no other than Nicholas and Ian. Ian was just sitting on the classy couch, calmly going through his phone. He wore a Tux, with his cute tie, and his hair was the classy fuckboy style. He gave off a classy aura as well as 'don't bother me' aura.
Nelly was stuck in the huge dressing room with 2 maids. They were choosing dresses out for her, and putting them on. One of the dresses that nelly really liked was the Pink dress, that had a flowery decoration to it, it showed her back. But thank god the tattoo wasn't see able. She dresses in the pink short dress and let her hair down. She walked out, nervous.
Ian stopped looking at his phone and looked up at nelly, his eyes going wide.

"Nick!! Come here!!" Ian yelled out. Nicholas was there in a few seconds, with another guy by
him. Nicholas' eyes went wide in surprise as he gazed at nelly.

Her hair was curled at the ends, she still wore her glasses but the dress was perfectly right around her body, and gave her a real shape. It seemed like it wasn't nerdy nelly at all.

"What! Say something! Don't stare" nelly yelled out, she was dying of nervousness and anxiety. She was blushing hard, her embarrassment was very strong.

"So this is your date Nicholas?" The guy asked, he had blonde hair with grey-green eyes. He stood straight, and had a nice jawline.

"Yeah. She's nelly Anderson, what do you think, Elliot?" Nick asked him.

Elliot, the blonde guy, walked around nelly and observed her from bottom to top. Nelly felt herself being judged heavily when Elliot stood in front of her, his piercing greenish grayish eyes gazing at her. He took her glasses off and smile.

"Much better. Can you see without glasses? Wait-better question. Are you near sighted or far sighted?" He asked in a charming yet demanding voice.

"I'm near sighted." Nelly replied

"Gotcha" he said as he snapped his fingers and a servant guy came in. "Get me some contacts, need them for a near sighted person. Understood?" He told him in a strict voice, and the guy only nodded. In a few minutes, the guy had returned with contacts ready for nelly.

"Here, miss" the guy said, and nelly took them. She went to put them on, when she returned, Ian, Nicholas and Elliot were talking about tonight's dinner party. Nelly stayed by the door, still not showing herself. She was trying to listen in.

"Nicholas, you take that commoner girl, who has no title, or money and you will cause an uproar" Elliot told him in a low voice. All of them trying to keep it a secret form nelly.

"I like her. I won't give her up" Nicholas said in an angry whisper.

"Your father won't like it, how long have we been friends? Almost 8 years? And you still don't trust my words! You know I'm always right" Elliot told him back

"Guys! Chill out, nelly may hear you, besides. She's strong, she won't be intimidated by Lindsy" Ian said in a kind voice. Trying to calm the guys down.

"But Lindsy will always be his fiancé. She's nicks future wife, get that? As in. He can't break that engagement. It would be horrible between the families, you know that the Wilsons and Harrison's are suppose to come together to become the biggest commercial empire there can be" Elliot reminded him

"You know Lindsy Elizabeth Harrison is a-" Nicholas began saying when Ian gave him a look.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence. There could be spies anywhere. Besides, nelly won't be anything to you after the whole problem with her and that Cupid thing is over right?" Ian asked,
Nelly felt her heart ache, she stayed quiet, listening even more.

"I....I really like her....would it be wrong if I said I may consider breaking the engagement to be with her..." Nicholas said quietly.

"That won't happen. The deal has been done. You can't break that engagement, unless you want your fathers wrath" Elliot said in a strict stern voice, Ian nodded at his words.

"You can't break it, besides..nelly is...she's wonderful, really. But, with Lindsy you will earn an empire. Her family are Doctors and own a lot of hospitals, your family owns the food industry, those two things are what people most use. So, of course, you will earn so much more if you marry Lin-" Ian began saying when Nicholas sighed.

"And if I don't want that?" Nicholas asked, in a serious tone.

"You're kidding me right? Who wouldn't want that" Elliot commented with a laugh of disbelief. Nicholas stayed quiet. 
"You are joking right? That nerd girl won't stay at your side forever, so once she's out of the picture, you gain so much. Why don't you just marry Lindsy, later divorce her, get half of her stuff and she gets half of yours. You later marry Nelly and deals done! Right? Besides, that depends if nelly doesn't get a boyfriend or something"

"Talking about her what is taking her so long?" Ian asked. Nelly sucked in her breath, trying to seem invisible. She heard footsteps coming towards the dressing room.

"Let's just...act like That conversation never happened okay?" Elliot suggested with a heavy sigh. "Nicholas, don't even think about losing an empire for a girl like that. A commoner will not benefit you in any way, she's just a normal-"

"She's not normal. She's not just anything you can pick up on the streets. She's worth so much more, but you wouldn't know that, Elliot. After all, you never settle on one girl" Nicholas said as he said it in an arrogant tone.

"Hey, don't blame me, I love any girl. I like your nerd too, she's a cutie. But I'll back off cause your my friend but trust me, once your taken by Lindsy, I'll take nerd girl" Elliot said with a laugh as his footsteps were heard to be leaving the room. Nelly began slaking into the room and sighed as she walked in.

"Oh! Nelly! You look beautiful! Can you see well with your contacts?" Ian asked, caringly.

"Yea, I can see, but where are my glasses? Please don't tell me you broke them" nelly commented as she tried hard to forget the conversation she heard.

"Oh! Your glasses, I think Elliot took them? I'll go check" Ian said as he excused himself. Leaving Nicholas and Nelly alone. The silence was awkward

"You...you look beautiful" Nicholas said quietly, nelly nodded.

"Thank you, so when...are we leaving?" Nelly asked quietly.

"Well because you finally come out of the dressing room, in like a couple minutes, but one more thing you need to adjust" Nicholas said as he walked over to her, nelly felt her heart race.

"What is it?" She asked shyly, "Is the make up they put on me wrong? Or- my hair? Maybe the dress-"

Nicholas began to take out a cute flowery  clip, and placed it in her hair, he smiled at her. "Now you're more beautiful" he commented as his hand cupped her face. His eyes looked at her with care and love. Causing her heart to beat faster.

"Nicholas....I-" she began saying when Ian interrupted.

"The limo is here-" he began saying as he looked up from his phone, when he saw the two in a very compromising obvious lovey-Dovey scene. He began backing away, "sorry-uh...I ruined a precious moment....well...I'll be going...oh! And your glasses nelly. Elliot took them-I'll be going now" Ian began saying as he backed off. Walking out of the room quickly. Nelly sighed,

"He ruined that" Nicholas said with a chuckle as he took his hand away from nelly, "well...what were you going to tell me?" He asked her,

"Nothing...never mind, it was stupid. So shall we go?" She said enthusiastically. Trying to hide the fact that she wanted to tell him she liked him...
