SAGE

Sage Miller

"I'm not an idiot Sage." Kate deadpanned and I rolled my eyes.

"I beg to differ." I mumbled fixing my hair.

Last night's mood was all gone and we were back to being just Kate and Sage, how I like it you know

"You know I heard that." She fired, her face a little bit flustered.

"It was meant to be heard." I flashed her a big smile.

She huffed and turned her back on me. I chucked and went back to fixing my hair.

I wanted the 'I just woke up like this' kind of look. That sexy messy hair thing I like.

Two minutes later Kate was still not done, irritated I looked at her through the mirror.

"No matter what you, you won't look any better. Now let's go." I told her and she rolled her eyes.

I could say she was used to my jabs because she didn't even flinch. She replied her eyes.

"Talk for yourself dear boyfriend. I know I'm a goddess." She flipped her hair.

I couldn't argue with that, she really was gorgouse and she knew it. She flaunted it too.

"Just hurry up." I hissed and went to the bathroom.

Eve had asked to meet for brunch in one of the expensive restaurant in Time square, something about living like a New Yorker.

When I saw her at the breakfast table downstairs this morning she seemed distance and in her head. I knew something was wrong and God help me if Styles had something to do with it.

I worry about her that's the reason I agreed to meet with her even if it meant bringing Kate. I wanted to find out what's happening to her.

And anything to be away from Kate but unfortunately for me, she asked for Kate to join much to my protest.

For some unholy and alien reason Eve seems to like her. I don't know but that doesn't mean I like her too. Between its just attraction. Only that.

When I walked back in the room, Kate was done and sitting one the bed.

"I'm done." She dryly said. I rolled my eyes at her attitude.

"Finally." I exaggerated. It was her turn to roll her eyes.

She stood up and took her mini bag or whatever it's called and waited for me to led her.

I smiled when I saw it. I then did a once over of her outfit and nodded in appreciation.

Her dress was faded pink and she also wore faded pink heels.

"Nice." I comment and she flipped me like I knew she would but I barely minded.

I wouldn't know what to do if she didn't flip me.

"Do you still remember what I told you?" I asked her making my way to the door.

I saw her rolling her eyes before I turned my back on her and opened the door.

"Yeah yeah yeah, I do." She said following. "Don't fuck with Evernly because you will fuck me ten times worse."

"Good." I told her. "Remember that and don't patronize me."

I warned her with a hiss.

"I would never." She replied telling me she would so. I hate how fucking sarcastic she can be.

I chose to ignore her. I don't need to be in a bad mood before I meet Eve.

I pressed the elevator like a good gentleman would for his girlfriend before a voice with a English accent called me.

I turned around and saw Styles leaning against a flower stand with his hands in his pockets.

He looked dishaven and tired.

I raise a brow at him and he raised one back.

"I'll meet you downstairs." I told Kate and pushed her a little inside the elevator.

I waited till it closed then walked to Styles.

"What's up?" I asked him. It was clear to him I was in a hurry.

"Where are you going?" He asked and I raised a brow at him giving him the really look.

That isn't what he wanted to ask and I had a feeling I already knew what he wanted.

"Okay fine, where's Eve?"

Ding! Ding! Ding! I knew it.

"She's your girlfriend, I know where mine is." I fired playfully but his face told me he wasn't playing games but too bad I wanted to play one.

"Fuck off Sage. Where is she?" She practically growled at me and I flashed her cashmere smile.

"What kind of boyfriend are you?" I fake gasped in shock and that pissed him even more.

"Don't fucken forget I'm still your boss even in New York." He told me but his words carried a threat he was yet to spit.

"And you're now my sister's boyfriend so..." I trailed off suggestively.
