Love's Complex

Chapter 7

"Nai, are you sure you still wanna go to this party? Like really really, positively sure?"

"Fay, I'm absolutely fine, I promise. I was just a little overwhelmed last night."

I'm currently standing in front of my closet taking out clothes for Fayre to decide what I should wear as she sat on my bed.

"Going to a party wont help you become any more calmer and it's not like anyone said you have to go, you could just tell Marcila so she can tell Ava, that you aren't feeling well, she'll understand. Doesn't Marcie's girlfriend have social anxiety too?"

"Charlie just openly came out as non-binary first of all, so they're Marcie's partner, and yes, they do have social anxiety but I dont, I just get anxious in large groups! Theres a very big difference."

I take out a grey, long-sleeved shirt with a built in corset looking thing with slit going up the sleeves. Pressing it to my body and turning around to show the concerned girl on the bed. She sighs and simply nods. I grin and turn to find something to pair with it.

"Fine but you have to promise me that you will tell me if something happens and you won't stop me from taking you home. The five will be there as well so if we-"

"Wait," I paused my search and spun back around. "Theyre coming? Do they know Ava?"

"No, I invited them actually after asking her if it was okay. She thought it would be nice to meet our sweet little Nailas new roommates."

"I'm not that much shorter than you, I'm actually average height you giant," I sighed. "Now use your height and help me find some pants or something."

She ended up choosing some black faux leather pants and some short heeled ankle boots, and a silver cuff bracelet. It's pretty basic, I know but I don't really like fancy things.

While doing my makeup, she opted for a more natural look so I was grateful and she changed into a grey sweater that matched mine but paired hers with a black faux leather skirt instead. She claimed that she wanted us to twin today and I just went with it, as if I had a choice.

Going downstairs and finding Orion doing some work on the kitchen table, Fayre immediately glomped him, peppering little kisses on him. I just looked on, shaking my head and giggling but if I'm being honest, I'm kind of jealous of their relationship. They're almost the same person but at the same time the complete opposite. When shes having a more quiet day, hes more outgoing and vice versa. They work out perfectly.

"You sure you dont wanna join us tonight? I don't think I can handle a drunk Fay by myself," I called out to Orion while getting a glass of water.

"Hey! I'm not as bad as you, you tiny lightweight."

"I told you before, alcohol tastes absolutely disgusting, so it's not my fault you guys peer pressured me into drinking that ONE TIME." Wagging my finger in their faces and Fayre playfully tried to bite it. I growled at the girl. "I hate hard liquor, the most alcohol I've had recently were single glasses of wine at most."

"We know Naila~. You've mentioned it every time weve gone out clubbing," Orion laughs, not looking up from his work and setting Fayres hands away from poking his face continuously. "And sorry but I really can't go, I have few assignments and reports due in a couple of days and tomorrow is date night so you cant go anywhere tomorrow." He turned his head to kiss Fayre on the cheek. "Have fun tonight, and don't let her drink too much. I don't want her to have a hangover tomorrow. I got some things planned."

"I'll try as I've said before, I can't control this woman," I huffed and shook my head.

"Anyways," Fayre got off from her boyfriend and stretched. "We should get going, it's almost time."
