TABOO novel Chapter 8

The minute I arrived at our town, I texted Shania. She told me her soon to be husband's brother threw a party for them to congratulate them. She wanted me to come. I dropped by at my parents house. We talked, and they scolded me for not visiting them since I was a junior in college and now I'm a senior. I lied that I was busy with school and everything.

  My family is a little religious. Coming to visit them while pretending to be a good girl was pretty hard. I like to fuck and if they found out about my little slutty side, I wasn't sure they had looked me the same way again. 

  I told my parents I was attending Shania's engagement party or whatever they call it. My father nodded, my mother joked about me finding a suitor since I was attending a wedding party. 

" You're not getting any younger, Cathy. Soon, you'll be out of college and you'll be thinking about settling down." She'd said that evening.

" I'm too young for that, mom. I gotta go." I said to my mom and scurried out of our house. 

  Shania sent me the venue of her engagement party via message, and it didn't take me thirty minutes to get there. Shania came outside to greet me with a huge smile on her face. 

" Damn, girl, you look really beautiful. I guess college really did you good." She said, I chuckled as I stared at my old friend. 

" Girl, you look beautiful too."

" Come here." Shania pulled me in for an embrace. We pulled apart afterwards.

" Come on. Let's go inside, I need to introduce you to my fiancé." Shania said as she dragged me inside this expensive hotel. 

  The groom's parents must be rich or maybe the groom himself is rich. Once we're inside, Shania held my hand and walked us to her supposed fiancé. Damn, he looks hotter in real life. He's sexy, charming smile and a dimple to kill for. Was it weird that maybe, I am attracted to Shania's fiancé?

  I stared at him for too long, I felt like the whole world noticed how he was making me feel at that moment. He was talking to another guy, almost his own age and they looked so engrossed in their conversation. Shania's soon to be husband laughed and I gulped. 

  I'd tap that if I get a chance. That's for sure. 

" Hey baby." Shania greeted her fiancé.

  He turned to acknowledge us. For a brief second, his gaze fell on me before turning to look at his girl. 

" Hey." He kissed her on the cheek. 

" This is my childhood friend I was telling you about. Cathy, remember?" Shania said. Oh, she's been talking about me. Nice. 

" Hi." I smiled at him. He smiled back. 

" Hi. I'm David. Nice to meet you. You're gorgeous. Shania has said a lot of beautiful things about you. It's nice to finally meet you." David said. I smirked and bit my lip shyly. 

" Thank you." I giggled. I barely even giggled. 

" You're welcome. This is my twin brother. He's Darius." David introduced the guy he was talking to earlier.

" Hi." Darius said to me. 

" Hi. Nice to meet you."

" You too. Truly you're beautiful." Darius praised. David, for a second, discreetly checked me out and he was satisfied.
