✓ God he will drive me Insane!

Right now I’m sitting in front of the mirror as D works on my hair. I got home early just as D ‘ordered’ me because it takes time to work on me.

After she was done with the hair she did my makeup. Turning me around, not allowing me to look in the mirror. Later I changed in my dress and put on my earrings. After I was done, D took a good look at me and then a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

“You look beautiful. Now you can look at yourself in the mirror.” She said guiding me to the full-length mirror.

As I looked at myself in the mirror only one word escaped from my mouth ‘wow’. She did a pretty good job.

My dress is a royal blue colour with spaghetti straps. It is simple with a slit on the left reaching my mid-thigh. D kept my makeup natural and she straightened my hair with curls at the ends. I matched it with a simple diamond earring and heels. Undoubtedly, I looked great.

The doorbell rang. It was him.

“I’ll get it, put yourself together.” She said walking out of the room.

I looked at myself for the last time and then collecting my things, I headed out.

D and Nico were talking by the door. They turned as I got closer. D smiled at me and Nico had a smirk playing on his lips. He was wearing a grey tux, his blue eyes blending well and his hair set back as always do I even have to say he looks hot.

“Shall we?” he asked

“Yeah” I said to him and turned to D “see you later.”

“Yeah, have a good time.” D said winking.

“Sure will” Nico replied before I could say anything.

We headed out towards his car. He has a black Audi R8

This guy has a Great taste!

He opened the passenger door for me. I thanked him.

“You look gorgeous” he whispered just as I was about to get in. I stared at him for a few seconds then smiled and replied

“Thank you, you too look amazing.”

He smiled back and closed the door as I settled in and he got into the driver seat but didn’t start the car. I frowned and looked at him and found him looking at me for a while then he leaned close to me.

He reached out my seat belt and secured it, starting the car. I let out a breath which I didn’t realize I was holding back. I’m sure my face shows a different shade of red out of embarrassment.

The drive to his parent's place was in silence, not awkward but peaceful. His parent's place was huge with a yard surrounding the house. He got out and offered me his hand as we walked in. For a charity event, this sure is grand.

Nico guided me through the crowd towards a couple. They seemed to be in their early 40’s.

The woman was looking beautiful wearing a champagne lace gown which combined with her strawberry blond hair perfectly with neutral makeup making her amber green eyes look elegant. The man was wearing a black tux with brown hair and grey eyes. They looked stunning considering their age.

They turned to us as we approached.

“Honey! I'm so glad you made it in time.” The woman said hugging Nico. I realized she was his mother.

He nodded to his father as they pulled away.

“And who is this beautiful lady?” she asked, turning her attention towards me.

“Hello, I’m Aditi,” I said with a smile and extending my hand, I froze as she surprised me with a hug. I returned after the initial shock.

“You have a beautiful girlfriend.” She said breaking away from the hug.

“No mom, she ain’t my girlfriend we are just friends.” Nico said

“My bad” she said, giving a smile “I’m his mom Claire and he is my husband Sebastian.”

“It's nice to meet you, Mr. Blackwell” I said, extending my hand.

“Nice to meet you too” He said, accepting my hand.

“Please excuse us.” He said guiding Mrs. Blackwell along with him.

“Want a drink?” Nico asked

“Sure”

We walked towards the drink section and he ordered drinks for us.

“Your parent's place is Beautiful.” I said

“Thank you, it's my mom's choice."

“Your mom’s choice is great.”

“Sure it is.” He said as we sipped our drinks.

The event passed by with Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell's speech followed by dinner. We were sitting on the table enjoying the desert.

“Hey, there!”

A guy with golden-brown hair, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans with a brown leather jacket. He looked well built and good with that messy long hair.

“I didn’t expect you to be here.” Nico said

“Me too” he said shrugging and then he averted his gaze towards me.

“And who may this pretty lady be?” He asked extending his hand

“Adi” I said, placing my hand in his as he bought my hand to his lips to kiss but I pulled back my hand from his, raising my eyebrows.

“Xander!” Nico warned.

The guy who is Xander raised his hands in surrender.

“I was just showing my gratitude.” He said

Nico just shook his head and looked away from him.

“Come on, can’t I show my gratitude to the girl who is with my brother.” Xander said

“Brother?” I asked. They didn’t look like brothers at all.

“Yes” Xander replied

“Don’t tell me you didn’t tell her about me. I thought you were different from our parents.” Xander said to Nico with a hurt look.

“Stop being dramatic” Nico replied clearly annoyed with his antics.

Now that I noticed Xander, I realized that he does look like their father, though he has his mother’s eyes. But Nico looks totally different from them.

“I’m Alexander, you can call me Alex.” He said again, extending his hand.

“Alex?” Nico said, raising an eyebrow “Won't it be better to go with Alexa?”

I tried hard not to laugh.

“You are beautiful and you have the looks. I would like to click pictures for you.” He said

“You are a photographer?” I asked

“Professional”

“Do these lines always work?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He seemed to be taken aback. Then restoring himself, he says “Mostly, yes” dropping his act to impress.

All three of us laughed at that.

“I’ll be right back.” Nico said excusing himself towards the restroom.

“So how did both of you start dating?” Xander asked

“We are not” I replied, why does everyone say the same?

“Strange he brought you here when you aren’t dating.” He said

We were chatting for a while as Xander was a chatterbox. It's been a while since Nico excused himself. I couldn’t help but look around for him.

I found him talking to a red-haired girl wearing a short violet dress that was too sparkly as she laughed at something Nico said. I couldn’t help but frown looking at her.

“So how long have you been here?” Xander asked, breaking my stance.

“About 7 months”

“That’s good, if you want to go away from city life and enjoy nature tell me, I’ll tag you along when I go for photography.” He said

“Sure will” I replied. He actually is a nature photographer, just bluffing around about model photography to flirt with girls.

“Hey, Xander”

We looked up, Nico and the girl from before were standing by us. Adien was also with them.

“She is Aditi.” Nico introduced “And she is Valerie.”

“I prefer V” she said, giving me a tight smile, clutching Nico’s forearm.

“Adi” I said, narrowing my eyes at her. I hate clinging girls, who think they look great.

“Hey Adi, it's nice seeing you again.” Adien said

“Yeah, you too” I said giving a smile

We sat there talking for a while.

“I think we should get going, it's late.” Nico said standing up. I stood up too.

After exchanging our goodbyes with Xander and his parents we left for my house. The drive was silent, I was tired from a busy day and it was late too. I can see it was the same for Nico too. Song was playing softly in the background keeping both of us distracted. After a few minutes, we pulled in front of my house.

“See you around” I said facing Nico and gave him a warm smile.

“See you” he said returning the smile

I got out and went towards the door, turning around and smiling again. He was standing out of his car waiting for me to get in.

Sure enough, D was in there and so was Cal, I noticed his car was parked out. I went to my room to change and to get ready for bed. I smiled thinking about Nico.

God he’ll drive me insane!
