"I live with three kids and a gorilla for a husband but at least I'm still able to wake them up. You on the other hand, are a whole different story" Xamira frowned as she drove back to the hotel.
"I was tired. Besides, you could've-"
"No. I didn't call you a gorilla Diego" She sighed, rolling her eyes.
"You know he can't see you right?" I giggled and she glared at me.
"You're really getting on my nerves today" She groaned. "Yes I'm talking to you and V as well" She said, placing her second earbud into her ear before making a sharp turn. "I swear, I will end this fucking call"
"You're so grumpy today, why?" I asked her, fiddling with my belt as we entered the hotel parking lot.
"No, she doesn't know. If you'd stop talking and calling, I would actually be able to tell her" Xamira gave me a soft smile as she helped me with the seat belt.
"How did you do that?" I mouthed to her as we walked into the hotel lobby, heading to the elevator.
"I'm used to it... but I'm guessing this is the first time you've fixed your nails?" She asked, her voice laced with laughter.
"Yeah. I never actually had a reason too. I didn't like dancing with fixed nails."
"Well, now you do and I think you made an awesome choice. They're gorgeous" Xamira gushed as we stopped in front of our room door, searching her bag for the key.
"Did you get your nails done? No. So why the fuck would I be talking to you?" Xamira groaned, shoving the door open.
I couldn't help but smile at her words as I looked down at my nails. I decided on short nude matte, coffin-style nails and each nail was decorated with rhinestones and glitter.
I begged Xamira profusely to let me pay for our nails but she refused.
"I know and I will, whenever you decide to hang up" She sighed, throwing the Ferrari keys on the bed.
"Faresti meglio a pregare che Olive e io rimaniamo amici dopo il ballo di oggi. Altrimenti non ti permetterò di toccarmi o scoparmi per un mese." My face furrowed in confusion as she mentioned my name.
(You had better pray that Olive and I remain friends after the ball today. Otherwise, I won't let you touch or fuck me for a month.)
"That's a good boy. I'll see you in a few hours" She smiled. "I love you to the moon and back" She whispered before ending the call.
She let out a huge sigh, plopping down face first on the bed beside me. "You're actually really cute" I giggled, nudging her.
"Shut up" She mumbled, sitting up straight before she sighed. "Now we have to start getting ready for the ball"
"Luckily, we've showered and everything"
"Yeah, all that's left now is to get our dresses on, do our hair and makeup, put on our masks and then call one of the drivers to come pick us up." She groaned.
"A mask?"
"It's a masquerade ball; we all have to wear masks. When we get into the ballroom, the first thing we do is look for everyone in the inner circle, that is our family as well as Griffin's and all our friends. It's been our tradition. The guys didn't tell you?"
"No, they didn't " I groaned, covering my face with a pillow. "I don't have a mask, what am I supposed to do?"
Xamira laughed as I felt her get off the bed and heard her dragging something across the tiles before I felt something being lugged on the bed.
Taking off the pillow from my face, I turned my head to the side, meeting Xamira's smirking face and a suitcase full of masks.
"I had a feeling those dumbasses didn't tell you anything" She smiled, holding up a few for me to see. "I got you covered, V"
"What would I do without you?" I sighed, getting off the bed and engulfing her in a hug.
"That's not the same thing as thank you," She said.
"Thank you, Mira," I laughed.
"Whatever, now let's start getting ready for this thing."
....::::**•°✾°•**::::....
"Fuck me" Xamira groaned as I stepped out of the bathroom. "I'm pretty sure Diego would be down for a threesome if I told him it was you, so please fuck me"
"Xamira..."
"You look like a fucking goddess. Why the actual fuck are so so goddamn beautiful? I'm actually contemplating keeping you for myself"
"Have you looked in the fucking mirror?" I rolled my eyes, pushing her towards the floor-length mirror, by her shoulders, which hung on the wall at the end of the room.
"Words can't even begin to describe how sexy you look"
Xamira laughed, interlocking our fingers as she stared at me through the mirror. I stood behind her, my hands on her shoulders, able to see her perfectly as she was a few inches shorter than me, as we admired each other's dress.
My dress was a thin sleeved backless red lace dress which hugged my body perfectly and had a huge slit running up my right thigh.
Xamira's dress was a black one sleeved black glittery dress with a huge slit running up the left thigh, exposing her tattoos.
"Time for hair and makeup" Xamira smiled as she walked over to our vanity, taking a seat in front of the mirror.
"Are you sure you want me to do this? We could always go to a hair salon, I'll pay and everything" I offered.
I took the hair tie out of her hair, letting her blonde hair fall down, stopping at her bra length.
"I'm not really used to the nails and-"
"Who said anything about you doing it?" She laughed, patting the seat next to her before clapping her hands.
About 8 women walked into our hotel room, carrying make-up cases, hair dryers and everything else we would need for our hair.
I looked over at Xamira who was already smirking at me. I rolled my eyes as the women took their places behind us.
After about an hour or so, we were finally done with our hair and makeup. Xamira's hair was braided at the sides and tied in the middle, letting her hair fall down her shoulders while my black long hair was tied into a low bun with two strands pulled out to the front of my face.
I thanked the ladies as they left our hotel room while Xamira was busy on her phone.
"Talking to Diego again?" I smiled and she rolled her eyes.
"No, it was one of the drivers. He'll be here in about 10 minutes" She stated, slipping her feet into her silver platform heels.
"Already?" I groaned, fumbling with the strap of my gold platform heels.
"Yes already. You have to hurry up" She rolled her eyes as she helped me with the strap of my heels.
"That reminds me, why did you mention me in your call with Diego earlier and why were you so grumpy?" I asked her.
"Diego wanted me to tell you something but I think it'd be best if Xavier tells you himself" She smiled.
"And as for the grumpy part, I thought birthday stress was normal"
"Birthday? No fucking way. You're lying"
"I'm not. Xavier and I were brought to this earth 22 years ago today. December 20th. I'm guessing he didn't tell you?" She smiled.
"No, that actual dick. I'm so sorry I didn't wish you a happy birthday sooner but happy birthday" I apologized before pulling her into a hug.
"You know, at first, I was kind of pissed that you didn't wish me a happy birthday or anything but now I know it's my jackass of a brother's fault." She laughed, pulling away.
"Wait. Does that mean that-"
"Yeah. The ceremony our parents hold every year is for our birthday" She laughed.
"That is actually so awesome" I gushed.
"If you ask me, it's a bit extra." She admitted. "This necklace is pretty, who gave it to you?"
She inspected the pendant that she held with her fingers before she clasped on a few more gold necklaces around my neck while I slipped on some rings and my earrings.
"Xavier"
"I'm guessing you don't know what the writing on the necklace means?" She smiled as she put on a few silver necklaces and rings as well.
"What writing?" My eyebrows furrowed with confusion in the middle of my face as I looked down at the necklace, taking it in my fingers.
Just like she said, there was a small engraving in the middle of the heart.
Mio cuore
"What does that mean?" I asked her.
"That's another thing Xavier will have to tell you" She smiled, looking at her phone while I grabbed our purses which had our masks in it.
"Now come on, the driver is here. It's time for us to go"
