"Alright, good. Now I'm going to warn you. The people attending this party are.." He began.

I continued to glance at people entering the palace. "Insanely rich,"

He grinned. "Well yeah but,"

"Rude" I said watching a middle aged lady sneer at a girl who accidently bumped into her.

"Okay so all you have said is right. But what I'm trying to say is, they tend to watch people very closely. And since you are accompanying me." He paused to smile and I rolled my eyes.

"Just prepare to meet a lot of those people. Just stay by me, and you don't have to say anything if you're not comfortable. I don't want my lady to feel uncomfortable." He said scanning the crowd.

My lady he said.

"Brother!" I heard an amused voice say.

I heard Justin sigh and saw him roll his eyes. He then wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Jaxon," he said as the younger boy who looked around 17 approached us with a glass of who knows what in his hand.

He was handsome too and slightly resembled Justin. If Justin had a brother, he didn't say anything about it.

"Ive been looking for you the whole time."  'Jaxon' said.

I turned my head the other way to look at the other guests.

Some were staring, some weren't.

"The party has barely started." Justin laughed.  "Well my friends haven't showed up yet. Anyway m-" jaxon said cutting himself short as he somehow locked eyes with me.

"J-justin, you haven't introduced me to your...date.." Jaxon said looking at me top to bottom with an impressed smirk.

"Step back, jaxon." Justin chuckled. "Anyway, this is my lovely beautiful company, Iman. Iman, this is my immature brother, Jaxon." Justin introduced us.

Jaxon looked at Justin and his eyes widened.

"My, you are very-" he glanced at Justin and smirked as he cut himself short again. 

"I'm sorry, Justin doesn't want me complimenting you." He said shaking my hand.

" Anyway, I'm sure he's told you about me?" He asked with a dazzling smile.

Okay so are the perfect smile's a royalty thing?

I shook my head and grinned. "No. Actually, he hasn't said a word about you." I said not remembering a time he said anything about jaxon.

Whatever it was, must be very sacred.

Jaxon rolled his eyes. "Well that's a shame because he's told me a hell a lot about you." He said smirking.

"What has he said, if I may ask?" I asked him.

"You honestly don't want to know. You probably wouldn't even look at him the sa-"

"Okay, that's enough." Justin coughed.

"I probably should be going, anyway. Alas, it was an honor finally getting to meet you." He said winking at me before walking away.

The charm seriously runs through the family I can tell.

"You must be thinking about him." Justin said rolling his eyes.

I chuckled. "No, no. Just thinking of how you two are so alike.And you never told me you had a brother." I said as he guided me further into the gathering.
