Summer Nollan
"Your room." He said coldly as he gave the card to me.
"Okay." We went up to the 7th floor and went straight into my room. I put my luggage on the and opened it. I changed my clothes and decided to take a walk around.
I went from shops to shops and surprisingly there's a lot vintage shops around the hotel. I to buy some snacks before going back to the hotel.
"Hey.. hey! You dropped this." Someone poked me and I turned around. He was holding my key and I smiled.
"Thank you."
"Welcome." He walked away and I went back to the hotel.
The next morning..
My alarm went off right a 5am and I decided to go for a run. I changed my clothes and walked from the hotel. After an hour, my brother called.
"Yes, your majesty?"
"Where are you?"
"Currently running, I'm.. near McDonalds."
"Come back to the hotel, aren't you going to welcome brother?"
"Right. I'll be there." I said and hung up. I ran back to the hotel and found my brother talking to
Darren. I walked slowly to scare Wesley.
"Boo!"
"Wow." He jumped and turned to me. He hugged me.
"Go get ready, the ceremony will start at 10." Darren said and I nodded without looking at him.
"Go, you stink." Wesley said.
"Hey." I smacked him playful and went straight to the lift. I went to my room and got into the .
I dried my hair as soon as I walked out from the bathroom. I curled my hair and tied the half up my hair. I put make up on and then put my light blue off shoulder dress. The dress length at my calf. I put a white highheels and sprayed perfume.
Someone knocked on my door and I opened it. It's Darren and he looked at me from head to .
"Eyes up here." I hissed.
"We have to go." He said and I nodded. I grabbed my clutch that I already put my purse, phone, cash and my lipstick.
"Let's go." I said and I grabbed my hote card too. We went down to the lobby.
"What should I do?" I asked him.
"Act like we're close."
"Okay." I said and we walked out from the lift and Justin, Landon, Trevor and Wesley already for us. They all turned to me after my brother announce my presence. They all looked at weirdly.
"Something on my face?" I asked.
"You look beautiful." Landon said as he stood closer to me.
"Come on." Wesley grabbed my hand and brought me out. He gestured me to get into the car.
"You rent this?"
"Yes, let's go." Wesley said and I chuckled. I got into the car and put my seatbelt on. Wesley got the driver seat and drove towards where the wedding is.
"We're here." He announced and it's a beautiful garden wedding. I got out and immediately felt a intertwining mine. I turned to Darren and he leaned his face to my ear.
"We're not official yet but I like you a lot. We like each other a lot, remember that." He whispered I nodded.
"Just lead me, I'll play along." I said and he smiled. He led me towards the party.
"Hey!" Darren greeted someone and I smiled to them.
"Long time no see." He gave his friends a bro hug.
"How are you, Dan?" Darren asked.
"Been good and who is this beautiful woman?"
"This is Juliet, Wesley's sister." Darren introduced me.
"Juliet." I said as I grabbed his hand.
"Daniel and what do you mean by Wesley's sister? I'm pretty sure he doesn't have one." Daniel at me weirdly and pretty much suspicious. Wesley came and explained it to them.
"Oh I see, sorry if I was rude. You look beautiful." Daniel said and I just gave him a nod.
"Ignore him." Darren whispered. He let my hand go and wrapped his arm around my waist. He me to his friends and suddenly someone poked me. I turned around to see the guy gave me back my key chain.
"Hello." He smiled.
"Hey!" I was so happy to see him.
"Sam! Hey, how are you?"
"Hey, Darren. I'm good and is she your girlfriend?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, this is Juliet." Darren introduced me and Sam put his hand in front of me.
"Sam. It's so nice to meet you." I smiled at him and he held my hand for a few second before
Darren pulled my hand away.
"You look beautiful." He said.
"Thank you." I chuckled shyly and Darren gripped on my waist tightens.
"See you around." Darren said and pulled me away.
"Aren't you going to see the bride?" I asked and he turned to me like I grow two heads.
"Why would I bring you here if you don't accompany me to see the bride?"
"Why should I? I don't know her and you- wait! You still love her!" I gasped and he glared at me.
"You're too talkative." He hissed.
"You still do."
"Don't even try to assume, Juliet." He held me tightly and I glared at him. He led us to our seat I sat between Darren and Wesley. The wedding started and when I saw the bride, I knew Darren loves her. She's so beautiful and elegant. Darren's grip on my waist tightens.
Calista and Jeffrey suitable with each other just by seeing them together. She's happy and he . I can see that the both of them loved each other. I turned to Darren and he can't take his off from Calista.
When the priest officially announced that they're husband and wife, Darren looked away. The walked down the aisle and with that the after party started.
I kept sitting on my seat while the other enjoying the party. Darren tried to mingle around which good. I decided to just play on my phone when suddenly someone grabbed my hand.
He sat on the chair beside me and he turned to me. He leaned his face close to me like he's to kiss my cheek.
"Darren!" I turned to see the couple standing in front of our table.
"Hey, congratulations!" Darren said as he got up and hugged the both of them.
"Introduce us!" Calista squealed as she pointed at me.
"This is Juliet, my girlfriend. Babe, this is Calista and Jeffrey." I got up and smiled.
"Congratulations, you look so beautiful by the way and you look great." I said and gave them a hug.
"You two are so cute, any thoughts on.. you know getting married?"
"We're still getting to know each other." I said and Calista smiled.
"That's great." Jeffrey said.
"Thank you for coming." Calista said but somehow her eyes were looking straight into Darren.
It's like she's looking for something in his eyes.
"Enjoy the party." Jeffrey said and they left. After that we sat down again and I turned to Darren.
He looked so confused and I didn't even bother to ask any questions. I got up from my seat and out from the party.
I decided to walk towards the garden right behind the venue.
"It's illegal for a beautiful woman standing alone in the middle of a garden full of roses." I turned see Sam standing a few steps behind me. He smiled before standing beside me.
"Felt overwhelmed?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm not a fan of.. crowds. I mean.. uhh-"
"I know what you mean, Juliet. I don't like crowds either but anything for my bestfriend right?"
He said and I smiled nodding.
"So are you in college?"
"Yes, I am."
"What's your major?"
"Business."
"Same then! So.. how was it these days?" I decided to sit down on the bench and Sam sat me.
"Have an exam next week."
"Glad that you're taking a break from studying."
"Of course, or else.. I won't be able to study." I chuckled.
"Can't believe that you're Wesley's sister, he's been looking for you since forever. Glad that he you."
"I'm glad too. How about you? You have any siblings?"
"I have a little sister too, younger than you a year. I think you both can be bestfriends."
"I would love to!"
"Stop flirting with my girfriend, Backford." We both turned to see Darren standing behind me with hands in his pocket.
"She's lonely and I'm just here to be there for her." Sam said.
"Fuck off." Darren hissed and Sam chuckled. He walked away leaving me with Darren.
"Didn't I tell you that you can't talk to other people besides-"
"Why should I listen to that? We're not a real couple to begin with." I hissed.
"So that's why you're going to flirt around?!"
"You're being ridiculous." I hissed.
"You're stupid huh? You can't even process a simpl-
"You don't have to mock me for it!" I slapped him and walked away. I walked back to the venue Justin saw me. He walked over to me.
"What happened?"
"Can you take me out of here?" I whispered.
"Yes, let's go."
"Thank you." I really regret helping him.
