Chapter 95
*****Sofia's POV*****
"You look great! Relax!" Emma encourages me, moving to fix one of my curls as I clasp my hands together to avoid them from shaking.
A knock is heard on the bedroom door, as Emma moves to open it, finding Reid with two glasses of what looked to be champagne.
"A little drink to take the edge off ladies?" He comments, walking in and handing us one each as we thank him.
Vincent had already left to pick his parents up from the airport and all we could do now was wait for their return...
Daryl had been in another weird and awkward mood today which didn't help, and whenever I seemed to enter a room he would quickly exit it.
But all he was doing with his recent behaviour was confirming my feelings for Vincent. I didn't like how pissy Daryl could be, as opposed to Vincent who seemed to face things head on.
I had told Emma all about how I felt and even she agreed that I had more of a spark with Vincent lately and so that would be that...
Although I still felt like I owed Daryl an explanation, but just not tonight.
"Let's go downstairs and wait?" Reid suggests, as I turn to face the mirror one last time to look myself over.
Was this too much? Or maybe not enough? I didn't know...
I had picked out a strapless black skater dress that stopped just above my knee with a slight sparkle through the fabric. I then paired the outfit with some strappy black heels. Emma's Mom had done my hair up in a messy but stylish curly bun, meanwhile Emma went for a sleek ponytail look, wearing a white midi dress with silver heels.
"You look great, let's go!" I feel Emma reach out for my hand with a smile, stealing me from my thoughts as I breathe and nod slowly, following her out and downstairs.
"So have you met them before? His parents?" Emma asks Reid, who had even gone to the effort to dress in a green button up shirt and black pants.
"Yeah, I've met them tons growing up. They can be difficult at times but just don't let anything they say get to you. Sometimes his father can actually be likeable but other times, if he's in a shit mood, he's an ass..." Reid debriefed us as we headed for the living area to have a seat whilst we wait.
To my dismay, Daryl was in there, but he didn't even bother to look up from his phone as we entered the room which only added to my disappointment towards him.
