Cue awkward

Nikolai's POV

I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Liyah also sitting in the backseat of the truck. Before I could react, Eve had jumped forward to drag me by the arm and pull me towards the car.

"Yay!" She squealed. "You're thirty minutes late but I forgive you. We can get going now."

"Wasn't it supposed to be just the two of us?" I asked, but she pretended like she didn't hear me and dragged mecri the other side of the truck. Sneaky little girl.

The driver at the wheel greeted, then bowed when he saw me, attracting Liyah's attention. I saw the surprise on her face when she looked up to see me. I followed awkwardly as Eve unlocked the car door and clambered in, plopping herself comfortably between Liyah and I.

I suddenly began to feel hot and I tried to ignore it but it only got worse. This was my car, my house. Why did I feel so uncomfortable and out of place? "Turn on the air conditioning," I commanded. When he did I began to feel a bit better.
