MILO'S POV

"Lads aren’t you really up for the ice skating?" Silas asks out of the blue.

"You really wanna go ice skating so badly." I chuckled, he's not dropping it. I pity him. 

"Do you even know how to ice skate Silas?" Rowan asked.

"Well..." Silas pouts.

"Forget it Silas." Jasper shove his hand in front of Silas's face. "We'll go find some nice beach with perfect waves when come back here again. Surfing is for the big guys." Him and Lucius  begins to act as if they were on top of a surfboard.

Silas’s brows creasing, “You’re not a big guy Jasper.”

I instantly laughed at Silas’s comeback and Jasper was quick enough to stare at me when I was not the only one who was laughing in here. “I’m 5’10.” Jasper says.

“Since when did nine become a ten?” Silas asks.

We laughed again.

“Well you can get all the laugh you want to have Mr. Cohen because Lucy Jones and I are going surfing without you.” Jasper tells Silas before he gave a high five to Lucius . 

"Don't worry Silas. I'll go skating with you. I'll take you someday." I tell him while I lace my arm around his neck with a sweet smile on my face.

Silas smiles. “Thanks big guy.” He says to me, teasing Jasper.

Jasper squint his eyes at Silas. “I’m watching you Cohen.”

The elevator finally opens and we reached our floor. We began walking along the hallway heading to our own suites when suddenly, "Hey Milo , where's your iPhone?" Lucius asked.

My brows creasing. “And why?”

Lucius groans under his throat, "Sophia has been bugging me to FaceTime her. She doesn't believe me I'm with you guys. My phone just died on me and now she is probably thinking I am with another woman." He narrates.

Silas cracks a laugh. "Because you're a lying cheater." He copies Sophia's tone.

They laughed together as I smirk at Lucius who always gets mad when we bring that topic up. “I got you Lucius .” I say as I was about to pull my phone out from where I inserted it. “It’s just in my--” I stopped myself with what I was going to say when I was not able to find my phone inside the pocket where I usually put my phone in. It’s not here.

"Dude I really need to make a phone call now? Sophia's probably blasting mad." Lucius pleads hastily as he eyes me with his brows shooting up.

I continued touching the other pockets of my trousers as their eyes were now staring at me. We stopped right in front of Rowan’s room as I watch him enter while standing by the doorway staring at me. “What’s up Mill?” Rowan asks curiously.

I kept touching my jeans and my phone was really not with me. . I remember that I took it out to take a photo of the food I ordered at Nando's and sent a reply to Kendall who invited me to a party in three days. I couldn't remember if I took it out when I was inside the car or I left it there.

"Can you use their phones instead?" I ask, referring to Jasper, Silas and Rowan while I was still busy remembering where I must have left my phone because I am sure I brought it with me. 

"I left mine in my room." Silas answers.

"My battery is dead too." Jasper adds.

We all moved our heads to Rowan and he pulls his hands up. "I'm not an iPhone user. My phone can't FaceTime."

“Guys.” I call out and they were now looking at me. “No shit Sherlock but I think it fell off on my seat and I left it in the car."

They froze from making fun of Lucius  and looked at me worriedly. 

“Are you sure Milo ?” Rowan asks concernedly.

“I think so, yeah.” I answer reluctantly.

"I don’t think you left it in the car because I didn’t see it inside your pocket after dinner.” Silas says and it makes me feel more antsier. 

“If it fell, you must have heard a thud. Did you hear it? You were the last one who got off the van, right?” Lucius asks.

I shake my head sideways, “ I didn’t hear a thud or anything.”

“Didn’t you use it while we were at Nando’s?" Jasper asks.

I paused, “I did. Bloody hell I must have left it there.”

Rowan shakes his head at me, “You’re doomed Milo . You have to get it back and find it before--”

"Fuck!" I cut off Rowan from talking as they stared at me eagerly. "I did leave it at Nando's!" I chimed loudly, realizing that I really did leave it on top of the table where we were having dinner a while ago. Oh fucking Christ!

“Well, I hope you’ll find it. I’m going in first. Goodnight lads.” Rowan shuts his door.

Silas pats my shoulder, "You better hurry up and get it Milo. Before anyone steals it."

"Will you be okay alone?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah. I'll be back right away." I answered him but I'm already panicking.

"I'll go with you Milo ." My bodyguard said to me.

I got back inside the elevator with clammy hands as I begin to think negatively of what could have happened to my phone if someone else found it. God, I haven't even put a pass code on it! 

I walked my way out of the hotel and the paps were still there. I can't believe they're still here and I wonder what they are waiting for out here. Unbelievable people. I was with my bodyguard as soon as I left the hotel riding the same car we used a while ago.

Actually, I have two phones but that one is my most precious. That phone has all of the contacts of the important people I need to call day by day especially when I am away. It doesn't really have my selfies or photos of the lads on it but the phone’s gallery is full of scenic pictures that I personally took. It’s more of like a photo journal for me since we went to so many countries and that phone has all of the pictures of those memories I had on each country that we've been to. I can't lose that phone, I must find it.

"Do you have nudes on that?" My bodyguard asked.

I gave soft laugh, "No. Not really. None that I remember."

I grin to play it cool even though I'm already having cold hands and a fast beating heart against my chest. I don't remember having a nude there. OK maybe, one. Shit! I think I do have one nude on that phone! Fuck! Relax Milo , whether you have a dick photo in there or not they will never know it’s you. Unless they check the contacts. Darn it Mill Beckett, why did you have to fuck up just now?

As soon as I got to Nando's I hurriedly barged inside making the waitress surprise to see me again, thanking that I got here before the paps. I walked to the cashier who had a beautiful smile. 

"Hi sir. Welcome back." She greeted, politely. 

"Hi. Um, did someone find an iPhone around?" I asked hesitantly. 

"iPhone?"

"It's an iPhone and it's color black. It's actually mine."

"Just a moment sir." She said.

She got busy looking at the stuff under her desk while I was inwardly praying that it's there. If it was not there then I would not know what on Earth I would do if it has been taken by another person. I stand here and fans came up to me begging for a photo, so I had to smile to be courteous even though I'm already worried as fuck and nervous of my phone being there or not.

God what's taking her so long. I wish it's there. I inwardly thought.

Finally, she moved her head up and extended my phone back to me with a happy smile on her face. I massively felt relieved that I hugged her. I exhaled heavily as I pulled myself away, “Thank you.”

Thank goodness!

"This is the only iPhone found in here sir. So I'm guessing this is yours Mr. Milo Beckett." She said, smiling politely.

I grabbed it and kissed the screen, noticing that she was laughing at me. I hurriedly placed it inside my pocket, shy. "Thank you so much!" I said again, happily.

"Can I take a picture with you?" She asks while pushing her hair off her face.

"Sure." I answered.

She took out her phone from her pocket and quickly walked beside me. She holds it in front of us while I placed my hand on her back, rubbing it since I could feel her tensed muscle. She finally took the picture where I pulled out a peace sign with a wide smile since I found my phone.

"Oh my god thank you." She giggled.

I pulled myself away from her and waved goodbye. I hurriedly got inside my car being escorted by my bodyguard as he congratulated me. I can't even explain how happy I am that I found my phone. How was I being so careless a while ago leaving my personal stuff just like that in public? Some fans won't even return it if they'll know it was mine. It'll probably be used or either sold on eBay by now if I didn't come back right away.

I thought I lost my phone. Phew!

My eyes moved to the girl with brown hair and eyeglasses who was running towards Nando’s.

She’s pretty. I thought to myself before the car speeds away.

    6LINDY'S POV I was panting when I finally reached outside Nando’s and I honestly do not know how to tell my mom and dad that I lost my phone. I’ll be seriously grounded. I paused and took some deep breaths when suddenly this white van that was who was leaving accidentally splashed a whole lot of muddy water at my while it leaves Nando’s speedily. I gaped as I stare at myself looking all dirty and wet. Uck! This is so disgusting."Hey!" I called out to the speeding van but it didn’t bother stopping to even say sorry.Asshole. I see groups of photographers leaving the lot while they were talking to each other and some young girls crying saying that they lost the opportunity to capture him. Him? Who's him? What the hell just happened here? Was someone kidnapped in that van?

    7LINDYI quickly stopped myself from yawning when I heard a man’s voice on the other line who spoke to me with really thick accent. It was a guy with a very deep and manly voice that almost sounded as if he was sleepy or just woke up from his sleep. I don't know anyone, moreover any man, by this voice because not much men would even call me this late nor would just call me on my phone. The male's voice was deep, raspy and sort of a little bit familiar that I might have heard it somewhere before. In the first place, why would he call me this late?"Yeah. Obviously." I answered angrily with a low voice. I yawned for more but silently as I wait for him to say anything else. "Well…” He trails off and his tone of voice was almost auto-erotic to listen to. “I'm most definitely sorry for that." He speaks a longer sentence and I have never heard any man’s voice this sexy.Shit. That was hot. No doubt about it and his thick accent just makes him sound more soothing to listen to. Is he Briti

Whoa, hey babe. It's--" "I-I-I'm in the middle of the class right now, MOM." She cuts Mill off. "I am taking my physics exam." Milo laughs. "Ohh! “ She exclaims. “So you are in the middle of trouble right now? And you're acting your way out of it? You should be nominated for Grammy’s. Your acting is so smooth. I really didn't know you could act babe." Milo said while grinning, taking a bite on the banana. "Do you want my phone to get confiscated...MOM?" She mocked. Milo gapes. "Oh shit.”“Yeah, oh shit.

Mill asked her again, almost in shock to hear that she does not like them. “You must have a reason why you don’t like them. You don’t like the way they dress? Their music? Or their faces? Are they too ugly for you? Not your type? What? Why don’t you like them?”Lindy paused and found it weird to be asked by a man why she does not like Spitfire Strip. "I'm just not a fan. It has nothing to do with their clothes or faces." "Exactly why you're not a fan? I mean, most teenage girls like you are suppose to be crazy about them. They’re like the biggest band of all time!"
