Chapter 6
" Lils..I'm freaking out here! "
" Nicky! Shut up. You look stunning. Besides, this is just a get together."
" Richie's friends will be there. All of them.. Including the best man." she said winking at me.
" Really?" I said sarcastically
" Oh come on Nicky! You haven't even seen him yet."
" Have YOU seen him?"
"Ummm... No."
I rolled my eyes at her and continued doing my make up. I didn't want to flirt with random guys tonight. No matter how smoking hot and filthy rich they were. Hmm.. I wonder what James was doing. Maybe if I get too bored I'll text him .
" Just promise me that you'll speak to everyone and NOT touch your stinkin' BlackBerry,K?"
What the fuck? I threw my hands up in the air in frustration and stared at her.
" What?" she asked irritably
" Nothing.. At times I wonder if you are psychic or not."
" Whatever!"
" Oh my gosh, Nicky. Look at these people. They all look so pompous. Your rss has really fine friends."
" Shut up. Don't you have anything else to do?" said Nicky irritably
" Like..?"
" Hm. I dunno.. Hooking up with the best man, maybe?"
"Shut up!" I cried and hit her playfully on her arm.
" Nicky, love .. I've been looking all over for you." said rss as he walked towards us. Wow... It's kind of hard ,not to letch at rss. I mean he's like a total hottie. I mean Orlando Bloom/Jake Gyllenhaal/ Tom Cruise / ' insert celebrity name'..
Yep! Everytime I saw him, I found in him some resemblance or the other with ' insert celebrity name '! Infact it had become such a deeply ingrained habit that I was already scrunching my nose in concentration as I surveyed him.
Rss kissed Nicky and I heard her say
" Richie! Lils is dying to meet the Best man. Where is he?"
What the fuck?
" Wait here. I'll go and look for him."
I rolled my eyes at Nicky and placed a hand on my hips staring furiously at rss. Hey , wait a minute..
" Of course! His butt!" I exclaimed happily
" Lilss!" hissed Nicky
" Gerard Butler! His.."
" OK, I get it honey, please lower your voice." she cut in sounding abashed.
" Oh . Penelope is here.. I'll just go and say hi."
I watched Nicky greet a stunning brunette. Oh! That reminds me. I still haven't asked Nicky what was rss's reaction when he saw her new avatar. I laughed and smoothened my gown.
I was quite pleased with the way I looked today. Let's see..
Green minidress with really gorgeous sequins and stones- Armani , shoes, URGE- Jimmy Choo ( Nicky's ) , emerald earrings - Chanel , statement necklace- Vera Wang , clutch- Fendi!
And of course underwear..
OMG. Rss was coming towards me .. and beside him ... Apparently the best man, James Potter...!
I swallowed and put on my best smile.
" Hey... Rss , James!"
" You both know each other? Good! I've really got to go. So many guests.." said rss as he walked towards a couple
I looked at James and winked at him. He raised his brow and smirked,
" So... Maid of honor, huh ?"
I smiled at him. Oo la la.. James Potter sure did look delicious in a tux. I felt his eyes take in my attire and I smirked. We both knew what we were doing. Checking out each other .. Just like old times.
" Soo.. Dr Evans...Had a good night?"
" Not really , I hardly slept. Nicky said I kept saying 'bloody jack ass ' "
"So you talk in your sleep ?"
" Like a trumpet..!"
I cocked my head and looked at him , taking in the sinful hazel eyes and the sharp, clever features that worked together absurdly well.
" Interesting.. I gather trumpeters have a novel way of muting their instruments.." he said , his eyes sparkling with pure wickedness.
OK, Lils. Stop. You know him. He's a dirty boy. Don't dare ask..
"Really?"
Oh crap! Why can't I ever shut up around this guy? No it's OK. Just drink the champagne and act nonchalant.
" They like to find something long and hard and insert it carefully."
I nearly spat the champagne and glared at him. Oh, so he likes playing games..
I placed my hand on my hip and leaned closer
" I never mute "
" Not even on a first date?"
" Especially not then." I sneered
He moved closer, dropping his voice to a whisper
" You know, I'd love to mute you some time."
" You'd find yourself mutilated in return."
" What about a kiss?" he asked
" Only on the cheeks."
" Which ones?" he sneered , his gaze dropping down. Oh God! He was impossible.
" Well, not all four." I answered coolly.
Thankfully, just then some one called out my name. I turned around happily to see my saviour. It was Nicky. She was smiling at me. Her eyes moved from me to James and then..
Oh no, oh no, oh no
" James. Excuse me.."
" Lils! Stay away from him."
" Nicky.."
" No! He's ' Judas ' remember?"
" Nicky, please! Stop being so PG-13 !"
" That guy broke your heart thrice Lils.. Thrice..! I can't let him hurt you again."
" Nothing is going to happen, Nicky. We are just friends.."
" Shut up Lily, Shut up! What happened the last time? The last time when you were ' friends' ?"
" Nicky.. That happened 10 years ago. I'm over him. You know that!"
" Fine Lily..Just remember that I warned you."
" I will.."
