*~Lily~*

The moment Kyle walked away, Jessyca Venner wanted to pretend as if we were old friends, but I could smell her insincerity from the other side of the globe.

“I love your dress,” she said, looking me up and down. “Who made it?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I don’t pay attention to things like that.”

She nodded as if she understood, but then leaned over conspiringly and said “If you’re going to be attending a lot of these functions, people are going to ask. I like fashion, that is why I ask, but some of these other women will tear you apart if the designer isn’t up to par.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” I said and took another sip of champagne.

Kyle looked at me from the bar across the room while Grant and Marco talked. I gave him a small nod and a smile to let him know I was okay. When Grant started speaking to him, he reluctantly turned away.

“How long have you two been together?” Jess asked, following my line of sight.

“A while,” I said. I didn’t really want her to know details of our personal life together.

“Have you met Marco?”

What the hell was this? Ask Lily Random Questions Day?

“Yes, I have.”

“He doesn’t like me,” she laughed lightly. “I don’t think he likes many people. He and Kyle were made for each other.”

“I get along very well with Marco,” I said. “He is actually very friendly once you get to know him.”

“Well, I guess it was just me he didn’t like,” she said with that fake laugh again.

“That is probably true,” I said without laughter.

I was getting bored with her idea of conversation, but I didn’t really know anyone else to speak to. Most of the other women in the room eyed me with distaste, which was to be expected, but most of the men eyed me like they wanted to eat me for dinner. Even though that was the case, when a good looking guy approached me while Jess was in mid gossip about a couple across the room, I gladly shook the guy’s hand as he introduced himself as Trevor.

“Lily,” I said, and then tried to extract my hand, but he held it firmly in his.

“I have been admiring the beautiful artwork on your back,” he said with a smooth voice.

He really was cute, for a rich preppy boy. Light hair, light eyes, and pretty teeth.

“Thank you,” I said. I glanced over his shoulder and saw Kyle watching with narrowed eyes. I again tried to pull my hand away, but Trevor wasn’t having it.

“I am curious though,” he said, leaning in a little closer. “Who is Anna?”

“My daughter,” I said quietly. I was used to answering that question – it was bound to become a popular question when I got her name printed on my back, but I didn’t want to discuss it in front of Jess.

“I see,” Trevor said. He didn’t seem to care that I had a daughter. Thankfully he didn’t linger on that. “I’ve never seen you at any of Grant’s functions before.
