The Outlaw

I wiggled in the dress carefully trying not my mess up my hair or makeup. I spent an hour on it, not letting a dress mess up my hard work. I sighed with a smile looking at myself in the mirror, I am finally ready for the party.

My hands run down the sides of my curvy figure, the dress looked phenomenal on me. It’s is a pure white off shouldered bodycon dress hugging my body effortlessly. Though the dress come a few inches below my knee, it still shows a good portion of my cleavage. I turned to the side looking at my bum, this dress does do a lot of justice in accentuating my flat bum in a good way.

My hair is tied in a loose bun with random stands of hair falling over my face and shoulder making it look effortlessly sexy. My makeup looks on fire with dusky pink smoky eyeshadow and nude lips. I just pick the diamond earrings I lend from Layla and wear them.

A knock on my door startles me, “Are you ready yet? Everybody left for the party!” Gerardo’s voice comes from the other side. A shiver runs down my spine hearing his husky voice, “I’ll be there in a second” I reply biting my lips. It’s been two days since Gerardo has been acting weird with me, whenever he sees me, he runs the other way. If I am lucky enough to catch him somehow, he never makes eye contact with me. It’s getting frustrating now, my friends stop talking to me, it’s okay but when my nemesis stop talking to me, there is bad something going on.

I quickly wore my heels and went downstairs with my phone in my purse. When I reached the stairways I saw Gerardo talking over the phone unaware of my presence. The way he was shouting in a foreign language showed that he was in a heated argument with someone. I stood away, while examining him. His long brown hair was tied in a man bun and his beard was well trimmed. His beards always gives me butterflies down there, just imagining his lips around mine, those beards ticking, poking the most sensitive part of me.

My eyes went to his clothes, that clad his gorgeous body beautifully. His white shirt didn’t do much to hide the chiselled body that was carved with hundreds of tattoos. He wore a matching dark blue suite that cling on his biceps and shoulder, showcasing the marvellous sculpture of his body. I sighed loudly just thinking about this naked Adonis pressed against me. Too bad for how we started, only if things could have been different.

“You done checking me out, puttana?” He snapped me out of my Dreamland. I looked at him with a poker face, “You wish, you fucking incel!” I scoff at him with a smirk when his eyes roamed all around my body. His hold on his phone tightened and his jaws clenched, eyes fixed on my exposed chest. I took a deep breath pushing my breasts out, provoking him. His eyes significantly darkened causing my stomach to flip. He whipped in other direction and walked away, “I don’t want to be late because of you” he said stoically. I walked behind him with a satisfied look on my face.

I stood beside the bar gulping down my wine. I have been in this party for almost about an hour and I see that most people are definitely trying to stray clear of me, which I appreciate from the bottom of my heart. It’s just my extended family that are being a pain in the arse.

My two brothers approached me, “Sup, sis?” Kellian said coming to my side. I shrugged my shoulders, “Alright, I guess. What are you guys up to now a days?” I asked them.

“Same old, same old.” Jace said looking at me, “Everything good at work?” I asked him. My step-dad, Daniel, dad’s husband, had a small construction business and since he didn’t have any of his kids and Jace being the eldest and closest to him. Jace ended up taking over the business.

“Yeah! Things are hard but we’re managing” he said. I nodded my head, “And your wife?” I asked the two.

“Annoying but I love her” Jace said with a smile.

“Seriously, Jace! How do you handle her? You know, Lilith, last week I had to drop by their place and his wife almost had a fit that I came uninvited!” Kellian said laughing. I chuckled at him, “Really? She is that bad now a days?” I ask Jace.

Jace rolled his eyes, “Don’t listen to this drama queen! She is pregnant what else do you expect?” He defended his wife. Kellian looked at me with a wide smile then looked back at our elder brother, “Well definitely not trying to run after me with a knife!” He said making me burst out laughing.

“She did not!” I said laughing loudly.

“She fucking did!” Kellian laughed with me. I heard a whine come from Jace.

“Stop it, you guys!” He whined like a little boy. I wiped a tear from my eyes that escaped from laughing too hard.

“You have a sociopath for a wife, bro!” I teased him making him hit my arm, “Shut up, you two!” He snapped at me jokingly.

Kellian and I put our hands in surrender, “Whatever you say!” Kellian winked at me.

Jace had married his college girlfriend years back. She is a good woman but a control freak no less. They have been trying to get pregnant for the past five years and only now they have succeeded.

The three of us talked for a while when my dad came to hug me, “There is my beautiful daughter!” He said kissing my cheeks, “How have you been princess?” He asked me with a big smile. His blue eyes shining with adoration, “I have been doing well, dad. How are you doing?” I asked.

“I am good, princess. Now look at you, you look marvelous!” He said looking at my dress. My face became red, “Oh hush!” I said hugging my father side ways.

“Where is pops?” I asked him. Dad rolled his eyes, “He was just here, god knows where that drama queen goes?” He said looking around the crowd.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ah there he is!” Dad said, pointing out to a direction. I followed the direction and there was Daniel, our pops, talking to the ladies. The four of us looked at each other, “Gossip queen!” Dad said and we cracked a little.
