Chapter 9: Embarrassment

🖋We're all just a bunch of addicts, struggling with our drug of choice - JmStorm🖋

Niara's POV

I opened the car door, stepping out slowly as I try keep my legs together. It would be very easy to accidentally flash someone in this dress.

I should have wore shorts under it, I pouted to myself.

I walked by people entering the party, feeling anxious because of all the looks I was getting.

I looked down at the ground, trying to hide my embarrassment.

And as most people would think, walking without paying attention isn't the most safe.

I bumped into someones chest and almost fell, but they caught me fast by looping their arm around my waist.

"Niara" He said in suprise, "I didn't think you would come."

I blinked up at him, his arm still wrapped around me "H-hi" I mumbled and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear.

He pulled me up so I was standing correctly again and pulled back his arm. His eyes scanned over me "You look different.. But in a good way" he complimented.

I laughed nervously as I felt my cheeks go red "Thank you.. I was a little nervous to wear something like this."

"Well you look great so no need to be nervous" he smiled while ruffling my hair, it seems to have become a habit.

I gave a small thank you before running my fingers through my hair Vivian spent an hour doing.

"Oh, sorry for being so rude, come inside" he said and held his hand out to help me up the steps. It was much appreciated because it was hard to move in such a tight dress.

I smiled at him as he walked me to the door. "Your dads out on business right?"

"Yeah"

"Would you like a drink? I'm sure nobody will tell your father. You're eighteen anyways" he smiled politely.

I looked away, contemplating it.

"Sure" I smiled.

He chuckled to himself "I guess you're not such a good girl after all" he joked.

Touch his arm!

I lightly touched his arm where the inside of his elbow is, laughing softly at his joke.

He looked at me for a few seconds before smiling and looking away. His short laugh after that made me anxious.

"W-what's funny?" I asked as I looked down at my feet.

"Nothing.. you're just cute" He says, making me look up at him in suprise.

"Thank you" I mumbled shyly.

Someone guy in a black suit opened the door for us, Making Alaster smile at me and motion for me to go inside first.

"The drinks are in the kitchen" He smiled once again.
