I was thinking going to Wallingford was going to be just the both of us, I never envisioned that Ariana was going to be there too. Damn It. He was going to shop for her, before we all go back to school, not like we are going far away from eachother, we are all going to be in the same school, and she will see him all the time, so why does she have to go to the place with us, when she will always have time with him? I was not happy, when he told me that he was at the restaurant, waiting for me to join them. When I heard the plural word 'Them'. I didn't need anyone to tell me whom it is that is there with him, I also didn't want to sound angry, because I know I promised that I was going to accept her, as long as she doesn't hurt him.

I got to the Wallingford restaurant, and didn't have to look for them, because off course, they were seated comfortably at the VIP section, but I noticed that it isn't just Ariana that was there, someone else was seated there with them, infact two persons. This is looking like a group outing, and I didn't feel happy about it at all, but I had to feign being happy. I smiled, but my smile changed, when I saw Jason with them. Myles could tell the reason my look changed, so he got up immediately to speak to me. I haven't seen him since that night, and I really do not want to see him.

"What is he doing here? I asked angrily, as soon as he got to me.

"He came by the house last night, asking to speak to you, he is just here to apologize to you, so please allow him apologize to you, and then he can leave". I looked around and noticed that there was another guy seated there with them, it was a full table.

"And who is that? I asked him, and he told me the guy is Ariana's cousin, who is going to be staying with her, for three months, since he is running a program around the town.

I waved at the known faces, and then, sat close to Myles, as I didn't feel comfortable sitting close to Jason, but clearly Ariana was looking angrily at me, and though she had her smiles on, I could tell when one is really smiling from the heart.

I had barely sat down, when Jason got up from his seat and went on his knees. He was going to embarrass me by going on his knees, I looked around me, and then I unconsciously held on to Myles' right hand.

"Kiara, I am so sorry, for what I did to you the night of our prom, that was so uncalled for, please can you forgive me? I looked around and noticed that Ariana was angry, she couldn't even hide it, but when our eyes lock, she looked away, as though she wasn't looking at me. Myles shook my hands to bring me back to reality that someone is kneeling for me.

"I forgive you Jason, I am no longer angry with you". I said and tried looking away, but he seem to have another request.

"That is great, then you wouldn't have an issue, taking me back into your life right? He asked and I opened my eyes wide, like he just said the unspeakable. Myles once again sqweezed my hands, as if telling me to accept, I really couldn't tell what the hand signal was all about, so I had to say what I never planned to say.

"I am sorry Jason, but that won't be possible". I started, he looked disappointed, and Ariana also looked disappointed, but the new guy, who is Ariana's cousin, kept smiling, as though he understands everything going on.

"That means you haven't really forgiven me have you?

"I have forgiven you, but I cannot take you back, because I am seeing someone". I said and this time, even Myles looked shocked, he stared into my eyes and I nodded as to affirm what I just said, then he whispered into my ears.

"And why am I just learning that you are dating someone? It was supposed to be a whisper, but it was loud enough for Ariana to hear.

"Yes, why are we just learning about this? She added.

"Because I am still checking, you know, we just started dating, I need to check and double check, before announcing it to you guys". Myles could tell I was lying, but it went well with Jason, who accepted his fate.

"Anyways, I guess that is my loss. I lost a wonderful girl in you, I will have to live with the guilt for the rest of my life". He sounded sober, but there is no way, I will go back to dating someone I clearly do not love, and I already made it clear to him that I never loved him, so why he would even ask to come back to me, is what I don't understand, and asking something like that In public, didn't he know he could get his heart broken with my response?

"So when is your big brother going to meet this Wonderful person? Myles asked, stressing the topic further, I didn't know what to say, but I had to just give him an answer somehow.

"Soonest brother". I answered simply. Jason seem to be getting uncomfortable with everything happening around him, that he had to excuse himself.

"I guess I will see you guys around". He says and walked away, even before we could get the chance to say anything. Myles waited for him to leave before he spoke up, facing me.

"You really do know how to break a man's heart. don't you?

"He broke mine first". I defended, but he fired back.

"He told me you said you never loved him".

"I said that to get back at him, because he slapped me in public". I argued further.

"So are you saying you loved him, and you are just angry? I really do not know where he was going with what he was saying, but I could see that he was ready for me, even though I liked the fact that he left his girlfriend and is attending to me, but Ariana had to clear her throat to get his attention back to her.

"Hello, we are here, and this table isn't about you two". She wasn't very happy, but her cousin kept smiling.

"Sorry dear". Myles said holding her close. He kissed her cheek, while I excused myself to go to the rest room, but by the time I got back, I met a terrible sight. Myles was sneezing non stop, and I know it is only a matter of time before he starts throwing up, if he doesn't get Mango juice close to him. It was his favorite, and he must have taken something he was allergic to. I didn't bother asking them anything, I had the restaurant attendant, get me a Mango juice, mixed with Menthol sweet, and in seconds, he was back to normal, he hugged me, for understanding him better, and I felt so alive in his embrace, before Ariana came in between us and hugged him. Her cousin also looked worried.

"I was so worried". She says. though he hugged her back, his eyes was fixated on mine.

What I am looking at, was it gratitude or falling inlove, I really couldn't tell, but I didn't want to get the wrong message so I looked away.

The rest of the day was quiet, with me taking things that I need, but I noticed that Myles kept looking at me, like he was seeing me for the first time. I loved the attention, but Ariana wouldn't even allow me enjoy the moment, she kept kissing him and holding him so close like he was running away.

    At a point, she stood Infront of him, bringing us all to a stop. She looks like she was going to cry. She searched his eyes, then asked with a calm voice."How are you feeling now? I wanted to laugh, because I know Myles is fine, but maybe not in the mood for question and answer drama. Myles only nodded, he still looked too weak to respond.Please don't you ever scare me like that again? she says to him and he feigned a smile.And what was that thing you gave to him anyways?

    I don't know why he was so calm, and not saying much, but the way he was looking at me, really got me thinking that we might just have the time tonight. Maybe I really could tell him all that is needed to be told.I made him Coffee and sat close to the fire house with him. I had him covered, while he sips on the coffee."You know, I was scared today". He says and I nodded, that I could relate with what he just said."But why did you take it, when you know you are allergic to it? I didn't want to blame him, but I just needed to ask.I mean, you are very choosey, you should be careful with the things you take, and you know your health condition too". I added, but he raised his hand to stop him."If I am able to tell her about my allergies, I cannot tell her I have health issues too. it will scare her, and I don't want that". I was surprised that he didn't think he could share with her, whatever is bothering him."How can you not tell her that you are sick, even though it is well manage

    I had a blast with Myles, and I was very happy that at last he felt better to even drive me home with all the stuff he got me from Wallingford.In his usual Manner, when he got to my door step, he still alighted, to walk me into my house."Is mum around? He asked, looking as though he would be spanked, for keeping me with him for so long."I am not sure". I answered, trying to indirectly urge him to come inside, since I was not really ready to allow him go. I enjoyed, every minute I spend with him and I want more of it."That is good then, so I don't get to explain". He says as he helped me get the key from the door mat and opened the door to get my things inside the house.After he was inside the house, and had carefully dropped my things in my room, he came back to sit down with me, holding my hands in his."Thanks once again for yesterday". He says and I nodded my head.We still have few more days before we will leave for school, but I will go before the time, to ensure that your r

    I allowed the phone ring for a while, contemplating if I should take the call or just pretend to be tired, but after the first ring, I was reminded that something may have happened, which needs my attention, and so I quickly picked my phone."Hey! I answered, forgetting that the number is a strange one."Hey beautiful, how are you doing? I heard his voice and I didn't need anyone telling me whom the voice belongs to."I am fine and you? I asked, sitting up on the bed, after hearing Darius's voice. I am okay now that I can hear from you, for my night was really bad". He says and I gasped in shock. No matter who is involved, I hate hearing that someone is having a bad day or had a bad day."Oh my gosh, what happened? "Wow! Look how shocked you sound, you really must have goodness in you, but the truth is that, I was thinking about you, all through yesterday and I didn't know what to do, I thought of calling you at that time of the night, but then I was reminded that the time is ungodl

    Darius didn't look like a guy who would give up easily, for in the evening of that same day, he came by the house with Ariana."Now you know her house, can I go now? She asked and he nodded, asking her to go, I just stood outside the house, wondering what the both of them were up to.Ariana left with her car, making me wonder, just how Darius plans to go back."What are you doing here Darius? I asked."I was worried. When you ended the chat, you didn't come back online and this is already night, it is not possible that you are still taking a nap? He asked."Actually I just woke up". I said to him and he smiles."That means, you need to move about a bit, you cannot be home all day? I was no longer seeing him as a pest, I was admiring the fact that he was giving me attention and if I really want to take my mother's advise, I might need to work with him, maybe forgetting Myles, won't be such a bad idea."So what are you suggesting?

    Just a few more days to leave the city for school and I could already tell that my mother is missing me already. "I will really miss you". She says and I smiles, making a face that says, I will miss her too, but I am happy to be away from the house for once in my life."I know, but it is not like I am going too far, Myles didn't make that happen, so we are still in the same area". I explained to her, and she winked at that, for she knows she will always come looking for me in school whenever she misses me too much."Yes, Myles did well in that aspect. By the way, this guy that have been coming around for some time now, who is he and what is the relationship between you two? She asked me. I had expected her question about Darius sooner, but she seem to be waiting for me to tell her on my own."He is just a friend. He is the cousin, to Myles' girlfriend, so somehow, he is family". I explained, so that she doesn't start thinking. "But he is coming today right? She asked and I nodded,

    I didn't want him saying anything to him, that would further annoy him, but I didn't say much to him, I told him I needed to leave."Are you going to him? He asked and I nodded as to say yes.But you said it yourself that the rehearsal is over, and he just called you, going there now won't change anything, it won't make it start again". He was right, but I just needed to leave, I was no longer feeling comfortable staying there. I started feeling like I should have never denied my feelings for him, or abandoned him.Mother was right, Darius was making me forget Myles, but I cannot say, if it is in a good way, or a bad one."Darius, it is already late, and you know I didn't tell my mother I was going out, she wouldn't want me to stay out late, so I need to leave". I was looking him in the eye, while talking, and I could see that he felt hurt that I was almost pushing him aside. "I will take you home, or do you want to go to his house? He asked me.

    How I went through the night was what I could not explain. When I got home, I explained all that happened to my mother, and she could only laugh."I am sure Myles will understand that this is a different phase in your life, and he will understand that you don't have to be with him all the time, or do everything together. He is your best friend, you guys could always still be there for eachother, but it doesn't seem fair, if you inconvenient yourself, just to make him happy. Friendship is give and take, it doesn't hurt, and it is not one sided". She explains, looking into my eyes, knowingly, because I will surely have something to say to backup everything."But I promised him mum. I promised to be there for him. That was the the same thing he said, that if I didn't want to, and that I had other engagement, I should have just told him, which I didn't, for him to make other plans for himself, and since I didn't, it hurt him even more". I was almost in tears."I know, you forgot, you are

Everyone was gravely shaken at the fact that she wasn't saying anything. She lay lifelessly on the bed, And everyone thought she might not make it, especially since just recently had an abortion done on herself. The doctor attending to her came in and demanded to speak with her closest acquaintance. Looking at the doctor, it was evidence that he was scared for his patience, and he doesn't know how to drop the news he had come with.Kiara still didn't know how to react when it came to the case of Ariana, she was scared and worried at the same time, she stared long into the eye of the doctor to respond, when Steve spoke up.

He says, with the fear of hearing the worse.Kiara turned to face him, while Myles had his head bowed low. Steve

He says, and Kiara got up from her seat. She could not allow Myles go through a loss on her watch. She looked around her, then stopped her stare at Ariana. They both stared at each other, before she asked."How much do you love Steve? Kiara asked her, and she got up to stand equally with her."I love him with my entire being.

    Kiara and Myles were still trying to get over what happened at the office. She haven't even had the time to ask him how his journey went, even though it is evident on his face, that he enjoyed his trip, and it seems he got everything he wanted.Kiara kept watching him, wondering why he was acting all distance, and they have not had time to get intimate in anyway, He was just too angry about Steve and his new found love. As a matter of fact, they were just troubled by the fact that Steve chose Ariana of all people. While contemplating on it all, they got a notification that they had visitors. Kiara wonders who that could be, at such a time. People shouldn't visit at that time, but om a second thought, they never used to have visitors, except family members, but also, since the guards that came to notify them, didn't see it as a problem, that means, they know the visitor and had come to tell them that someone needed to see them, and wouldn't leave to come back the next day, they deci

But I like your smart move, getting acquitted with a worker of Myles, and even allowing him come to introduce you to them, means you move fast and you have a plan. I like the way you move". He says. Ariana wanted to tell him that with Steve, it was not a game, but she decided to get all the fact about what he was doing at Myles company under the name Serah Julius as her badge says, and why he was even chosen to travel with him. Speaking of moving fast, It was Darius. whatever he was up to isn't good, and he needs to be stopped, before he destroys something."What are you doing here Darius? She asked.
