I came out of the bar and Sorin was waiting."Finally!"We went back to the apartment."Lux?""I'm coming out.I won't if you are there,Sorin!"I giggled."Then stay in there,Lux!"
"I HATE YOU,RAVEN!"
Days went by fast and it was soon the day of the ball.
"I'm going out for dress shopping!Are you coming,Lux?!""No!Xander got me a dress!He dropped one for you too,I think!I put it in your bedroom."I called Sorin as I came back from the café.
"I just came home and...Lux says that Xander dropped two dresses.I am hoping it is not from Xander and it is from you.""It is from me."
"Alright!Gotta go.""Not really.I am in your bedroom."I groaned."You are frustratingly romantic today!I woke up with roses all over my bedroom floor!"
"Tonight will be the worst!The least I could do is to make your day the best!"I smiled wide."I'm coming."I hung up and came to my bedroom."Hey.""You ditched me."
"I need to breathe!You give me constant attention and I am not used to it!Not even it has been a month!"He sighed and his face dropped.Mine dropped instantly."Sorin?What's wrong?"
"I'm going to my father's place.I won't be able to pick you up.""No!They're going to hurt you again!"He cupped my face and stroked my cheeks.I closed my eyes and waited like that.
"I have to go.Or else,they won't let me see them.""Who?"He sighed."I'm going to bring them to you tonight.The hotel is my father's.I want to pick you up and walk in there with you but...I can't."
"Hey!I love a good badass enterance!Let me have it then.""How will you come?!You have a bike."I rolled my eyes."I'll rent a car for the night.Who cares?!"
"Take my second car.I don't use it.It's a shiny black lamborghini huracan.It's downstairs at the basement garage."He took the keys out and gave it to me."It wasn't necessary but thank you."
"I'm leaving now."I kissed him my way.Starting with a small longing soft peck and ending with a make out.
"I'll fuck you right here and you won't be able to stop me.But you have to because I really need to go.Even though I really,really don't want to."
I nodded."Then go.Whoever they are,they clearly mean a lot to you and I can't wait to meet them."He smiled wide and genuinely."They might hate you at first but they'll love you eventually."
"I'm sure I'll love them too.Unless they are like your parents!""They are nothing like my parents!"
He left.He was so giddy to see whoever he was talking about.I just...I just hope he's not talking about a girl.Then I'll be disappointed.
I curled my hair and then I put my hair up into a messy bun.I took out my baby hairs and curled them.I put on my contact lenses for my sight.
I finally got to open the dress.It was a velvet long dress with an open back and long sleeves.

I put on a red matte lipstick.I put on my silver six inch high heels and left the bedroom."Boss' girlfriend.You look almost as good as my girlfriend."I rolled my eyes.
"No one cares if you like me or not,Xander.Get that in your head."I walked away and then I made my way to the hotel.I came and the vale helped me get out.
I gave the car keys to the vale and walked the red carpet.I came to the ball room and he wasn't here yet.I went over to Xander.How could they come here faster than I could?!
"What is going on?""Raven,all eyes are on you!Shut up and just look around!"I looked around and all eyes were on me.Literally.Then I turned back to Lux and Xander.
"You seem to enjoy it."I smirked."Have you met me?!Of course I enjoy it!"Then the entire ball room went dead silent."Sorin and his father is here."I snapped my head his way.
His eyes found mine right away.I smiled.While his father started making the rounds.He called me over with his hand gesture and I went over to him."You look amazing.""I know."
He and I both smirked."I missed you,Zathrian.""I missed you too,baby."He gave me a peck."If we do more,we won't last in these clothes more than five more minutes."
He got me by the waist."Let's go.""Right,I had someone to meet."I chuckled."Actually,two people."We left and then we ended up in his father's office.
"Jackson.""Sorin,hey.You must be Raven."We shook hands."They were at the club downstairs."Jackson made a phone call and two kids walked in."Uncle Sorin!"
Twins started screaming for Sorin."Raven,meet my niece and nephew."I turned to Jackson."You are Sorin's brother?!"He laughed."No way!I'm Sorin's older sister's husband."
"Oh..."I turned to Sorin."Meet Ben and Bea.Well,Benjamin and Beatrice but we call them Ben and Bea."Twins looked at me."Who are you?""Bea,that's my girlfriend."
"You have a girlfriend?As beautiful as her?How did you do that?!"Then Ben spoke up."Uncle Sorin,you are not that handsome.Sorry."I bursted out laughing.I had to sit down as I did.
"I love them."Ben winked at me!How old is he?!"If you ever want to leave uncle Sorin,you can call my dad to call me."I took him from Sorin and picked him up.
"I promise,if I ever leave Sorin,you will be the first person I will call.""Uncle Sorin!I want to hug her too!"I got Ben at one side and then I got Bea."I'll bite your cheeks.You're adorable!"
I turned to Sorin."You were absolutely right.I love'em."Jackson turned to me."If you can look after them for a few minutes,I want to talk to Sorin."I nodded."Of course."
Jackson left the office with Sorin and I turned to the twins."Now,spill you two.Why do you two don't like me?"They were shocked."B-B-B-But..."
"Come on!No one can trick me.Not even those eyes you two.""Are you going to steal our uncle?"I sighed."He will always be your uncle.I will never steal him from you two.Trust me."
"Are you going to hurt him?""Why would I hurt him?I've known him for three months and I'm sure as ever that I would never intentionally hurt him."
They looked at each other and turned back to me."We believe you."I smiled."Now,are we good?"They shared another stare and smiled at me."We're good."
They came and sat on my lap."So how old are you two?"They high-fived."3 and a half!"I saw how late it was getting."Aren't you two tired?""We are but uncle Sorin promised to tuck us in."
"How about I tuck you two in with him?"They nodded and they just leaned on my shoulders."Oh you two are sleeping here right now?Oh...Ok.Fine."I kissed their foreheads.
Jackson and Sorin never really came back.I was getting tired too.Then Ben woke up and he woke Bea up too."Go back to sleep,you two.""No,tell us a story."I sighed."A lullaby?I don't know stories."
"Ok."I started singing them a lullaby and I wasn't even half way in when they fell back asleep."Raven?"I was playing with their hair when Sorin walked in.
"Hey,they were tired."He got Beatrice from me."Come on.I promised them and now you're dragged into this with me."I got Ben with one arm and held his hand with the other.
He did the same with Bea."I never thought you'd be the one to like kids."He sighed."I actually hate kids.They're the only exceptions I can make."I smiled.
"I like kids but...I wouldn't bring one on earth.I wouldn't want another soul to suffer here."We tucked in the twins and came down,the ball was over.
The entire ball room was empty and we danced togather."Jackson took too long.I missed you."I smiled."I missed you too,woods."
