/Meelah’s POV/“ I suddenly lost my appetite” Brian’s mom speaks up few minutes after G mama walked out of the dining, pushing her food away and walking out of the dining. “I need to use the bathroom” I politely excuse my self from the dining because it is taking everything in me from breaking down after G mama expresses how disappointed she was in me. “the last thing I will want to do is to break down in front of the man who call himself my father, his business wife, the torn in my flesh, or Brain’s obnoxious ex girlfriend so the best bet for me is to find a corner to hide myself then cry eyes out” I decide as I start to run as soon as I am out of sight. “Meelah….wait” I hear Elva calling out behind me and that gives me a bit of directional challenge because I am still yet to decide where I want to hide myself away from people on a resort that I am still yet to explore. “Should I just go to the garden or the swimming pool?” I question myself as soon as I step out of main door “I
/Brian’s POV/With Meelah and Elva’s perfectly laid out plan, the three of us were able to get the cooking process over and done with, prepared for the dinner and we were on our way to the dinner to revive the members of the kings family that were supposed to be meeting Meelah for the first time, only for Meelah’s father to suddenly show up and offset her balance. Initially I thought her family just decided to show up without an invite, but on a second thought I realized that there was no way they would have found out about the family get away and the resort so it was obvious that my mom and Eloise had something up their sleeves because the greater population of silver city is well aware that everything is not right between meelah and her father, but I didn’t expect that they were going to want to pry on her weakness like that. When I saw that Jayden connors presence was seriously affecting meelah, because of how she was struggling to breathe and trying to get a grip on her self, I
/Brian’s POV/“Why are you eavesdropping on us?” My moms voice inquires, so I step into the light since she has already noticed my presence“Brian?” Eloise pronounces shocked as soon as she sees me, and that get my mom and Skylar’s Attention in my direction. “What are you going here?” My mom inquires. “Dad sent me” I answer her as I mentally prepare myself to deliver the message. “What does he need?” She inquires taking her attention away from me as if she can’t care less about what he wants. “Dad asked me to inform you that it is time to right the wrong you did earlier” I relay my fathers message. “What is that supposed to mean?” She inquires picking up the juice on the stool beside her and sipping it. “He wants you to apologize to Meelah’s grand mother” I explain in clear terms only for the three of them to burst out in full fledged laughter. “You father is really funny” she adds in between her laughter while I just watch the exchange. “What makes him think I am going to d
/Brian’s POV/ Everyone starts to troupe out of the room one by one leaving meelah, Elva and I so I signal Elva to get Meelah to safety because she looks like she is way beyond her elastic limit already. “You have been through a whole lot today…..sooo let’s get you to bed” Elva whispers as she starts to lead Meelah towards the direction of the door while meelah just followed her like a zombie staring into space and I followed them because I wasn’t settled with the thought of leaving Meelah alone with Elva for some weird reason. “I want to be alone” meelah finally speaks cup as they gets into the room, walks in and closes the door behind her. “Don’t you think you should check up on her?” Elva turns in my direction and inquires. “G mama is Meelah’s whole life, and for her to get disowned by G mama, she must feel terrible” Elva explains “ I know that” I answer her as I search for the key card in my pocket. “How do you know that?” She asks with her brief reading in confusion. “I wa
/Meelah’s POV/Elva and I sat on the terrace while she continued to assure me that everything would be fine, so I just stayed with her because I felt that it was much better to stay where I was being comforted than to stay alone to start overthinking the many things I could have done to avoid the situation. A few minutes later, Elva got a call from someone and when she got off the call she informed me that the person on the call was Brian and he needed us to go to the front of my grandmother's room because his father wanted everyone to talk and I started panicking because I knew how much of a disaster the first ‘talk’ was and I didn’t want to have to go through that a second time but she said it was going to be fine. “You kept quiet the first time and listened quietly to everything that happened at the dinner table, now that you are getting a second chance make sure you don’t make that same mistake again,” Elva advised and with that, I followed her to the said location. When we got
/Meelah’s POV/“Please don’t hang up the call” he pleads and I pause because I was just considering doing that. “Hurry up with what you want to say…..I am quite occupied at the moment” I urge him because I have way too much on my plate to start worrying about someone like him at a time like this. “I have been meaning to talk to you for a while about the misunderstanding that we had….” He trails off “I guess the right words that you are looking for should be betrayal because the issue we gave is nothing close to a misunderstanding but a glittering act of betrayal” I cut in to correct the notion. “Meelah please hear me out….” He pleads. “What is there to hear out?” I question him because I have a feeling that he is trying to make it look like I am over reacting over a job issue. “I thought you were my ride or die,somebody that was going to have my back no matter what, but you were sure to prove me wrong” I go on because as much as I don’t want to dive into our issue, Ryker already
/Brian’s POV/I tried my best to console Meelah so that she could feel better because it was just extremely weird to see someone that is always in control of her emotions so vulnerable, and I just wanted to make her feel better, but she did something that caught me off guard and I still find it hard to wrap my head around the fact that Meelah Kissed me.As soon as her lips met mine, I froze because I was trying really hard to decipher if she really kissed me or I was just overthinking the whole thing, but when it actually dawned on me that she kissed me, I just comported myself with the excuse of wanting to get her food so that I could get myself out of the situation because I didn’t want to overreact or look like a prude.I got myself out the room and went over pervious ways to approach the whole situation, but it sounded really stupid no matter how I put it, so I just decided to get her food instead and pretend like nothing happened between us.After dropping off the food, I went st
/Meelah’s POV/The ride all the way from the outskirt of the town where the resort is located to the main city, is quite short compared to the rough estimate I had in my head, concerning the duration of the journey, after calculating how long we spent traveling the last time. I know that my estimate is not exact because I only had the knowledge of the tube we started traveling the last time and we arrived late, though I can’t pin point when we got to our destination because I was burying tile playing as the sleeping beauty when Brian took me all the way from the car and tried to help me get settled in the room. During the course of the journey, I spoke to Eden about the unexpected call from RK and his demands, then she asked me to unblock him to fear him out in case he has a valid excuse to justify what he was trying to say .Eden and I didn’t talk for long because she had a assignment deadlines so I was so bored and I just had to unblock Ryker so that I could get someone to talk to
