Objectively, Nicole is beautiful. Long blonde hair halfway down her back, a petite frame, blue eyes, and tanned skin. But to me, she is the ugliest person on this planet. The person that had my best friend’s dick inside of her, and because of that, she repulses me.
“Sawyer, baby. It is so good to see you. Still as gorgeous as ever.” Nicole steps up and tried to kiss me on the cheek, I sidestep her and completely disregard her greeting. She ignores my body languages and pushes past me into the house.I thought vampires needed to be invited in.
“What the fuck do you want?” Is the first question. “Why the hell are you here?” Is the second.
“I wanted to see you, of course.” Nicole is scanning the house behind me, trying to see who is here.
“Autumn isn’t here, you know? I assume that is why you are here. You can’t leave well enough alone, can you? It’s pathetic, Nicole. You hear that I am visiting family with my girlfriend, and you cannot wait to come and get your fangs out, like the viper you are.”
“You have a girlfriend?” she hisses, proving my point. As if that isn’t the sole reason why she is here.
“Don’t be coy. You’re the one who mentioned her in your texts earlier, not me. Don’t act stupid now. I think you should leave. Wherever you are, trouble follows.” I say as Nicole continues to ignore me and marches through the house onto the patio where my dad and brothers are sitting, trying to enjoy their day. I already pre-warned them not to get involved in conversation with her, but Nicole always finds a way to make things about herself.
“Frank! Oliver! Carter! It has been a long time!”
“Not long enough,” Oliver retorts. "Quick, everyone, shield your eyes. You might get turned to stone!" Carter and my dad completely disregard Nicole, but my little brother can't help himself.
"Ewwwww. Stone! My eyes." Poppy says as she dramatically claps her hands over her eyes. She might be my only niece, but if she wasn't, she'd still be my favorite.
“Oh, Oliver. Still the same little jumped up shit you always were! Sawyer, come, let’s go and chat. It’s been a long time. I came here to ask you something, you know!”
The sooner I get this over with, the sooner she will leave, so I pull Nicole through the house out to the front porch. Completely disregarding the fact that I was talking about Autumn not five minutes ago, Nicole reaches out to try and take my hand. I visibly recoil. “Don’t touch me, Nicole. I despise you. Also, don't you ever swear in front of my niece again.”
Taking a seat on the porch, I urge her to take the one next to me. Then her rehearsed tears start flowing.
“Oh, Sawyer, why are you saying such awful things to me? I came here to talk to you, and you won’t even let me speak.”
“So, speak!” I shout. “You are lucky I am giving you this courtesy at all. You came here to speak, and you’re doing very little of that. Instead, you’re parading around in front of my family like a circus act. What. Do. You. Want? How did you even know I was here?”
“I check your social media every so often. I’d seen pictures of you and that woman together, and Lottie tagged you in a post to say you were visiting this weekend. It’s not my fault that her profile is set so anyone can see what she posts. Maybe you should blame Lottie, not me.”
“To my knowledge, you’ve never met my sister-in-law, so why are you looking at her social media at all?”
She cuts me off and talks over me. “You, Sawyer, I want you. I always wanted you.” I laugh. Completely involuntarily, a full belly laugh.
“Nicole, the only thing you want is attention. You didn’t want me when you were fucking my best friend for four years, did you?” She winces at my reply.
“That was a mistake. I’ve been trying to see you ever sin-”
“A mistake?” I don’t even let her finish her sentence before I cut her off. “If by mistake you mean that you slipped and fell on someone else’s dick, then you’re absolutely right. That was a mistake. I will tell you what else was a mistake. Me even entertaining this shit show. You need to leave. Now.”
I stand from my seat and encourage Nicole to do the same, which she does, but instead of leaving, the unexpected happens: she throws her arms around my waist and nuzzles into my chest.
What the fuck is happening.
“He said for you to leave, Nicole. Now, kindly remove your fingers from his body before I pry them off and throw you down the driveway myself.” The comfort of Autumn’s voice and the jealousy in her tone go straight to my dick. I push Nicole from me and stand back, regarding the situation that is playing out in front of me.
Nicole is startled by Autumn’s presence, but there is a smile spread over her face. Make no mistake, this is exactly what she wanted to happen. I am sure of it. She looks over her shoulder at Autumn.
“You wouldn’t dare touch me, you fat heifer.”
Chapter 31
Autumn
Claudia and Lottie gasp at the vitriol escaping from Nicole's lips.
Unfortunately, she may be tiny and beautiful, but Nicole is also a cunt. She is physical proof that beauty means nothing when you’re rotten to the core.
