Secrets of Us A Forbidden Love Romance (Alina)

Chapter 19

It's 7pm on Saturday, and Nikki and I are getting ready together at her house to head to the party she invited me to.

I'm wearing shorts and a crop top, which is all I was planning on wearing to the party. She, on the other hand, has other ideas.

"Nikki," I gasp, my jaw dropping open.

She laughs, "Come on, try it on."

"I am not wearing that, my ass is going to be sticking out."

She shrugs, "That's kind of the point."

"No!"

"Aiden is going to be at the party." She wiggles her eyebrows and I roll my eyes.

Still, that makes my heart beat fast. I touched myself last night thinking about Jake, and again it was not the same. I need something more.

I like Aiden, if things move forward with him, I would be happy.

"You need to show him what he's missing."
