Monica's Pov
As I sat in the passenger seat waiting for Miles to come over, I tried to search my head for thoughts but none. My brain has decided to want to shut down and I think I'd allow it but my brain is okay because I registered Miles sliding in and pulling out of the parking lot.
"Hello to you too lil sis" he said in an attempt to make a conversation but my brain is not doing well because I don't respond, I couldn't. It felt like my lips were glued shut as I stared ahead as he drove. I didn't even fucking question where we were off to. He could be planning to murder me and hide my dead body somewhere far away but I just blinked at the thought.
"So you're not saying anything. Right" He said but I could feel his eyes on me for a second before we stopped at a red light, his fingers drumming on the steering wheel as he sighed in frustration.
"Where you always this quiet?" He asked
I nodded and my brain finally decided to function properly. "Yes" I said, focusing on the countdown next to the red light.
"You know, when we were kids, you always talked nonstop"
"I'm glad you said when we were kids because we aren't anymore. Things have changed" I let out forcefully holding back anything that might accidentally slip out
"Things like what Monica?" He asked turning to face me now as I kept my eye on the countdown
"Just things and the light's green" I stated glad that his attention is finally off me as he sighed stepping on the gas.
I finally turned to him, taking in his appearance. He looked put together, dressed to perfection with a slight stubble on his chin. He's truly developed from a lean kid to all muscles and height and more masculinity and it makes me wonder. This is the first time I've truly looked at him since what went down a few years back.
"You might stare holes into my head" Miles said with a slight grin as I was pulled out my thoughts.
"Noted" I said looking away with absolutely no care in the world if I'd truly stare holes in that damn head of his. His car finally came to a stop at one of the most expensive restaurants. I stepped out just as he threw his keys to the valet.
"Let's head in" He said as he strolled in with a confidence of a WWE champion and I followed
"Mr David? Please follow me" the worker said as she led us to the top floor where the private rooms are situated. She stopped to open one of the rooms for us as we stepped in and honestly, I prayed to God at that moment for patience. I was met with curious eyes of both males and females that I suppose belong to his college mates. I looked to Miles whose eyes met mine before looking away. I was feeling all types of emotions deep within me which weren't good. I followed him because part of me trusted him and when we arrived at the restaurant, I thought he wanted to have a meal with me, at least I hoped but this? He knows I don't like crowds or people. Everyone knows that and he still fucking brought me here. I was reeling with anger and betrayal but of course I'm too good with hiding it.
"Finally we got to meet the college's heartthrob sister and I must say her looks didn't disappoint. The genes must be strong then" a guy said as everyone agreed speaking and looking at me. Miles sat down and left me standing until a girl nice enough waved me over and I sat next to her and for just the next few minutes everyone introduced themselves trying to act all put together especially the guys. I know they're trying to impress me because I just have that effect on people then everything moved on to normal conversations with few of them directed to me but mostly I zoned out twirling my drink absent mindedly because what else was I to do. I felt utterly betrayed.
Miles Pov
I didn't want to bring Nica here but people pleaded to want to see her. I obviously refused until last night when I was dared to. I could have easily said no but everything comes with a price. I'm to sit out my next basketball game in which I can't because I heard officials were coming over. They played dirty and I had to. When I told her to follow me earlier, I was surprised she just went with it because I do love my sister and I wouldn't want to do anything she didn't like so I already hoped she'd refuse but she didn't, which didn't settle well and now here we are. She was surprised, I could tell but after that, I couldn't read her but who am I kidding, nobody's been able to for a few years now. I just watched my little lovely sister sit there, lost in thought while twirling her drink until Brianna's annoying voice was heard "so Monica, do you have a boyfriend?" She asked with fake innocence which everyone knows all too well won't end well
"No" Nica answered
"Have you ever had or did Miles just bully them away?"
Her eyes flitted to mine just for a bit before she answered "No"
"Wow, that's amazing. It means you've still not had your first time" Brianna said but I watched as Nica's whole body stilled and her mask slipped for a second. Everyone saw it too
"Oh my, don't tell me....that's surprising" Brianna said with fake enthusiasm while completely ignoring the tension as I stared at my sister with confusion. When did she lose her v-card? The question kept nagging at the back of my mind and i don't want my head running wild with possible scenerios because judging by her reaction it's more than what it seems but I just watched Nica with clenched jaw and a fucking death grip on my drink.
"Who was it? Tell us?" Brianna said but my sister ain't stupid or naive. She knows Brianna is purposely wanting to pick a fight
"Brianna stop it" Josh warned her but she doesn't heed warnings
"What? Can't a girl be curious?" She retorted
"No you can't " Emma jumped in
As Brianna was about to say something else, Nica beat her to it.
"I can't remember who I lost my virginity to" she said with a straight face. She doesn't remember? "See, she replied" Brianna said pointing to us all and I watched my sister down her drink before looking up and I could see the unmistakable fire in her eyes
"But what about you, do you remember who you lost your v-card to or have you whored yourself too much to remember?" Nica fired.
"Woah"
Brianna choked while everyone was laughing and some were wheezing and Brianna's face went bright red with embarrassment and I couldn't help the smile that tugged at my lips then Nica stood up.
"It was nice to meet you all. I hope to see you next time. I have to meet up with someone" Lies
"Yh see you next time Monica. It was nice meeting you" Lia waved as everyone said their byes as Nica strode out then I excused myself.
"Monica, wait up" I said reaching her as she clicked the button waiting for the elevator then she looked at me questioningly.
"When did you....." I paused
"When did I do what?" She asked turning to fully face me with her arms crossed over chest
"When did you…..lose your v-card?" I asked
"It's not like it's your business Miles or did I embarrass the college heartthrob?" she asked quoting what one of my friends and turning away from me
"It's my business Nica and why would you think that way, you're my sister. I should know especially when you're still in high school and just recently turned eighteen" I said with concern etched on my face hoping she'd open up to me but she shocked me by laughing and I felt a pang in my chest at that.
"Nothing that happens in my life is your business so just worry about everyone else but me because you'd get nowhere" she said calmly as she entered the elevator that just arrived "ah yes, don't you ever show up at my school until graduation or there'll be hell to pay." She said it so calmly and I'm not dumb, I knew she meant every word. As the elevator closed, I watched the descending numbers in thought. When did things get this way between us? What did I miss? What the hell happened? My mind was trying to come up with something but nothing.
"Bro, are you good?" Josh asked placing a comforting hand on my shoulder
"Yes" I lied turning to face him but I could tell he doesn't believe me. He's the only one who can ever read me and I think that's why we're best friends.
"What about Monica? She seemed tense and a lil bit out of it" he questioned worriedly. Josh has met Monica before but she won't know because she never looked up when some of the basketball guys came over just to avoid basic human interaction and since then Josh's been asking about her because apparently that's not normal behavior which worries him.
"I think I fucked up, I shouldn't have brought her here" I said looking off to the distance
"Yh. I saw that, everyone saw that but chose to be quiet except Brianna of course" Josh huffed at the mention of that bitch's name
"Yh I'm gonna fucking skin her alive" I said storming off
"Yo calm down" he called out rushing after me but nothing can stop me from denting Brianna's face
