Valentino's [3]

I cuddle closer to Jace, shaking my head at Jaz.

She smiles wider and I smile back out of habit.

He wraps his arm around Rayah's shoulders and smiles back.

She takes my hand again and admires the ring. "So Pretty!" She giggles and I let her, sighing.

She lets go and her eyes lock on my chest, seeing a diamond necklace. "What's that?" She asks reaching for it. I put my hand over it, glancing down at it, swallowing, my smile fading.

"Who got it for you?" She asks.

I swallow again, and lie. "uh, Um, My friend."

Jace looks at her, not remembering the necklace. "Who did give it to you?"

Memories flash back from about three years ago and I snapped out of it, swallowing again. "Uh, no one."

He studies her.
"Charlie?" He mouths.

I look away and nod slowly, scared for what he would say.

He swallows and looks away as well, not sure why she would still wear it...

I shake my head and look back at Jaz, she's watching confused.

He glances back at her, trying not to seem as bothered as he feels.

She reaches for the necklace. "Pretty. Blue. Isn't that your favorite color?" She asks. I nod, silent. She smiles and takes the Diamond in her hand.

He watches, looking down, and tries to think of ways to top that before the wedding.

Charlie bursts in, unexpectedly and smiles, "What's up?" He asks, looking at me worriedly. "You haven't been responding to my texts." I sigh and stand, bringing him aside.

Jace watches her stand and pull Charlie aside, trying to remain as calm as possible.

I tell him and he glances at Jace in hatred. I snap my fingers in front of him and he goes back into reality. He swallows and slaps me. I hold my cheek and look at him. "What the hell was that for?!" I yell in his face. He looks at me, "You promised!"

I look at him, confused. "What?! I didn't promise anything!!" I yelled.
