Party

Unlike Kael, who loves to push all of her buttons, his younger sister Nadia is a sweetheart. At 5'6, she is beautiful, just like her brother Kael. She is playful and bold. She is a year older than Sage. Unlike Kael, Nadia and Sage clicked instantly. If Nadia set her mind on something, she would make it happen no matter what. Stubbornness is a trait of the Black family. That's why Sage found herself sitting on the living room couch which was pushed against the far wall, while Nadia was dancing on the makeshift dance floor in the middle.

"Sage, you look beautiful today," one of the guys who was trying to flirt with Sage complimented.

Sage gave him a sweet smile in return. She felt flattered. Not just him, more than a few guys have asked her for a dance. They are all from the same University as her. Nadia is popular, so half the students from the university are her friends or acquaintances.

Sage was wearing a short sleeveless pink dress with spaghetti straps. The dress hugged her frame to her waist before flaring down till mid thighs. The deep 'V' neck in the front showed a hint of cleavage. Her long, toned legs were on display for everyone to see. If she bent down a little, she might even flash her lacy matching panties. Sage is not the bold type. She would never wear something like this if not for Nadia Black.

What Sage would never admit is that she was stunned when Kael refused to glance below her chin despite her naked state. He was clearly very turned on by that She dragon last night. But when Sage was standing naked, he looked uninterested. That made Sage feel insecure. It's not like she has any romantic thoughts about Kael, but still. He is a guy, and a man whore. If he didn't even took a casual glance, then that made her feel insecure.

'Was he being a gentleman?' she wondered.

Nadia winked at her playfully from the dance floor. She was wearing a black tube dress that hugged her frame like a second skin.

"Now come on, don't sit there. Let's drink and dance." Nadia linked her arm with Sage before taking her to the dance floor. Sage noticed Laila, Claire, and Lucas among others.

"I heard my brother's laptop had a mishap. I missed the fun." Nadia winked mischievously.

Sage giggled with mirth until she remembered how Kael confronted her.

"He was being an ass," she muttered.

Nadia giggled with amusement and handed over another pink drink to Sage.

Sage glanced at the drink suspiciously. The last time Nadia threw a similar party, she mixed different alcohols and called it alcohol punch.

Nadia gave an innocent smile.

"This time it's just a mild alcohol. You'll be fine," she assured.

Sage is not so sure about that. But still, she decided to drink it anyway. Vanessa is recovering, and she finished her exams. It definitely calls for a celebration.

"Damn, look at those men. They are practically salivating at you. Girl, you won't be having a problem losing your virginity tonight," Nadia teased Sage.

Sage rolled her eyes, but her cheeks tinted pink. Nadia was right. She was getting much more attention than usual.

"Girls, let's dance." A guy whom Sage recognized as Mason, who is the son of Alexander's good friend, invited them. Nadia grabbed Sage by the hand and pulled her along. Sage had no other option but to follow after Nadia. Sage finished her 2nd drink and ditched the glass before dancing with Nadia. She was having fun after so long. Laila, Claire, and Lucas were seen giving dirty looks, but she ignored them. The music was loud, the vibe was right, and she could feel alcohol evaporating her reservations. A guy joined her on the dance floor and started dancing with her. She lost count of how much time passed, how many drinks she had, or for how long she danced. But when the guy she was dancing with started touching her hips, a sense of uneasiness sobered her up a little.

"No," she pushed him away weakly. But the guy was not taking the hint. When he tried to kiss Sage, a punch landed on the guy, square across his face. He fell down on the floor holding his bleeding mouth.

A hush fell over the floor. The music was suddenly muted, and everyone became quiet. The air around them suddenly felt heavy.

"Brother? Didn't you tell me that you weren't coming home tonight?" Nadia complained. Everyone could feel Kael's intimidating aura. He looked pissed.

"Prince Kael," Laila greeted Kael shyly. But Kael ignored her.

"Kael?" Sage giggled before throwing herself at him, clearly drunk. Kael looked taken aback, but did push her away. He wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her in place.

Nadia looked stunned, and so did Laila, Claire, and the others. It's known to everyone that Kael and Sage are at each other's throats almost every single day. So Sage's sudden hug was unexpected.

"You think I look so unappealing? Why didn't you look at me back in my room? You scolded me and just left?" Sage complained.

Kael cleared his throat, clearly surprised. No one understood what Sage was talking about, but he did. Definitely, he was not expecting that.

"You are drunk," he muttered before lifting her in his arms, bridal style.

"No," Sage slurred.

"Party is over. Get out," he snapped at everyone. Within seconds, everyone left. Laila lingered behind, trying to make sense of what she was seeing.

"Prince Kael, I will call a maid to take care of Sage. You don't have to do that," Laila offered.

Kael gave her a cold stare.

"Since when did I permit you to tell me what to do and what not to do? Mind your business," Kael replied coldly before he carried Sage to her room.

Laila clenched her fists in jealousy.

"Nadia, I am your future sister-in-law. This is unacceptable," she complained.

Nadia rolled her eyes at Laila.

"What's the fuss is all about? Sage is drunk, so my brother is helping her. You are not my Sister-in-law yet. So don't throw a tantrum now. Thanks for coming," Nadia replied before she quickly left. She is planning to go back to her room before Kael comes back and gives her an earful.

Laila looked upset. But she couldn't do anything. So she stormed out in anger.
