Chapter 2
Nia approached the apartment, with a bottle of cheap wine tucked under her arm.
She knew Kara didn’t really mention any sort of welcoming gift, but she felt as though it was quite rude to show up empty handed to a party she was invited to.
There was a reef on her door with dark green fake leaves, and small red decoration scattered around them on the door.
For some odd reason, this made Nia tense up even more as she brought up her hand from her side to knock on the door.
She heard sudden movements on the other side, as she door opened revealing Kara in an adorable christmas sweater, with a snowman on the front of it.
“Nia, you’re here,” Kara spoke as she pulled Nia into a hug.
Nia just froze, almost dropping the wine before returning the hug with her free arm.
“Uh yeah, hi.”
Kara pulled away from the hug, with one of the largest smiles you could ever see.
“Oh, you brought wine. You didn’t have to do that,” Kara spoke sweetly going to place the wine down on the table.
“Oh, it’s fine I wanted to.”
Kara smiled sweetly in return.
The moment was suddenly interrupted by Kelly running over and pulling Nia into a hug.
“Nia, you’re here finally. That one is driving me crazy,” Kelly spoke aiming her words towards Alex, who was jokingly glaring at her from across the room.
Nia just laughed at her comment, looking around inspecting the room.
On the couch, William and John were sitting both with a beverage in hand.
Lena was now coming in her direction with Kara and a brunette she did not know the identity of.
“Nia, meet Sam. Sam meet Nia.”
The girl had a smile on her face that immediantely brought one to hers as well.
“It’s nice to meet you Nia.”
Nia smile’s back, holding our her hand.
“Nice to meet you as well.”
The next hour Nia was surprisingly enjoying.
She got to know more about Sam, and her daughter, Lena, and even Kara.
It wasn’t until Alex tells everyone to pick a partner not explaining why, that she gets a little suspicious.
Nia suspects William and Kara to pair up, but Kara plops down right beside her smiling wide.
“Okay, we’re watching a horror movie. Nia be aware, Kara hates horror movies.”
Nia looks to her right to see a slightly shaken Kara, moving herself to hide in Nias side.
Nia just gulps, looking around the room as Alex starts the movie.
She doesn’t realize her current situation until she notices William smirking after looking in her direction.
They fucking set her up.
