I also couldn’t stop thinking about the way he’d held onto that woman. That would explain why he wanted nothing to do with me however. But that would mean that everything that I’ve felt for him so far was simply misleading.
Was my heart lying to me?
I couldn’t bring myself to believe that. The connection was too strong to be a mistake.
“Lucy and I were talking and we’ve chosen this dress for you to wear.” Isabella added as she waved the dress in front of me.
The short, silky black dress in her hands caught my attention. Was that really what they wanted me to wear? I had no idea what my fashion sense was usually like but for some reason, I wasn’t comfortable wearing something that short. But, I didn’t want to disappoint my sisters and so, I said nothing.
“While you girls get ready, I need to find something that I can fit into.” Lucy told us as she pointed at her tummy. “Something that Austin would approve of.” She mumbled as she walked out the room.
Isabella held my hand in hers and something about it made me feel a lot stronger than before. “You know I’m always here for you no matter what. I’m hoping that this can at least help you feel better and bring some happiness into your life.”
I looked into her warm eyes and found myself nodding. “Thank you.”
She smiled and threw the dress at me. “Come on! The boys will be waiting on us and according to Lucy, they already complain whenever Maya takes long to get ready.”
After about an hour, we were all dressed and ready to go. My hands pulled at the bottom of the dress as we made our way down the stairs, it was much shorter than I expected it to be.
Isabella informed me that everyone was already waiting in the limousine outside and we were rushing to get out in time.
“Will James be there as well?” I asked.
She glanced at me in that weird way again. It seemed like whenever I brought James up, everyone around me grew uncomfortable.
Their actions were beginning to bother me. Whatever it was that they were hiding, it was definitely something big.
Was it possible that James and I had something together and then he fell in love with that woman and left me for her? That was the story I was getting from everyone’s actions, including James.
“I’m not sure,” she answered. “I guess we will know when we get there.”
We both stopped talking as we neared the limousine.
“Well the wait was definitely worth it.” Lucas said with a low whistle as he gazed at our outfits.
“Lucas.” Austin growled.
I wanted to laugh at their reactions. Lucas always said something to annoy Austin and he always called him out for it.
“Isn’t that dress a little too revealing?” Austin asked Lucy.
She looked at him in disbelief. “I have a huge baby bump. Who’s going to be looking at my legs Austin?” She complained.
“Everyone … when you have legs like that.” He growled.
I bit my l*p to keep from laughing at his words. I liked that he was so protective of Lucy, it showed that he cared.
When I got into the limo, I was unhappy to see that James was nowhere around.
It looked like he wasn’t going to be there after all. At least this could give me a chance to focus on something other than him. Though, I didn’t think that was possible considering how I’ve been acting recently.
…..
The music was blasting and I could barely hear anything that my sisters were saying to me. Since Lucy was basically married to a prince, they carried us to the VIP section. Thankfully, the music wasn’t as loud there.
“Look at all of these men staring at both of you.” Lucy teased us as Austin wrapped his arm around her possessively, glaring at a few men that stared too long.
I followed my sister’s gaze and men were definitely staring our way. However, absolutely none of them held my interest for none compared to James. The man was a masterpiece; everything about him was practically perfect.
Everything but his attitude…
I sighed. I was hoping to relax out here but already I was comparing all of the men in the room to him.
We took a seat around a round table that was big enough to possibly fit three more persons. There were already drinks waiting for us there, a variety of them in fact.
“Remember, I want all smiles today.” Lucy said suddenly, her attention focused on me. “Do it for the baby!”
I forced a smile on my face and tried to relax, it only lasted for a few seconds however as a familiar figure came into our view.
My entire body froze as I saw James enter with that woman from earlier. Even under the colored lights, he was a sight to see. He had on a black shirt that was unbuttoned to the top and just like earlier the girl was clinging to his arms like she couldn’t walk on her own.
I felt anger and jealousy instantly stir inside of me. I wanted to rip both of their heads off.
God, what was wrong with me?
Lucy almost spit out her drink at the sight of the new couple approaching us. “I’m sorry, what the hell is going on?” She demanded from the men.
