“You need to tell them. They deserve to know!” Naya yelled through the phone. She was tired of hiding her true identity.
Years had passed and they had always lied to her that they would tell the truth. She had waited for those moments for days, weeks, months and even years! But yet still they seem to brush the issue aside.
“You know what, I'd tell them myself. I know they'd hate me, be mad at me for some time but eventually, they would forgive me. I thought you guys had changed, but then you went ahead to have Tara and then abandoned the poor girl. Use protection if you know you aren't ready for any more kids. You promised this wasn't happening again, but you failed again,”
“ Naya, calm d---
“Don't fucking tell me to calm down mom, I'm done with this pretence. I'm te
Weeks had passed and Hayes and Mila's hate-love relationship was growing into a beautiful friendship and the insults had reduced. Mila looked forward to driving Hayes and his friends to and fro school. Though his friends didn't like her, they had grown used to her driving them around, except Kaia, Gia and Trisha who hated the idea. They had done everything reasonable to stop her from driving Hayes but to no avail. “I can't believe Hayes chose her to drive him around. Why would he do that?” Kaia ranted She didn't like what was going on. Hayes was supposed to like only her and no one else. She was supposed to rule the school. The quarterback always ends up with the cheerleader, that's how it should be. Not the other way round. “She's just his driver, take a ch
“What are you looking for, Kaia?” Mila inquired, her gaze remaining fixed on her book. She'd gone to the park to clear her head and read in peace. She and Rémy were about to begin working on their English project because the deadline was rapidly approaching. With her hands on her waist, she glared at Mila and said, "Stay away from Hayes." “Give me a hundred and twenty reasons why I shouldn't.” “Don't put my patience to the test, Mila; stay away from my man, stop being his driver, tell him something, and get away from him. “Otherwise?” She made a threat. “Otherwise, what?” Mila looked up at her as she waited for her to return. “Everyone finds out about Alec,” she said triumphantly as if she had won the lottery. Almost the
“Hey is everything alright?” Vanilla asked her big brother setting the table for dinner.“Yeah, I'm good, is Hayes back from his session?” he changed the topic, helping her.“Yes and no, his wanna-be girlfriend Kaia was here so he came to get her and left with her. He just sent me a text saying he wasn't coming home tonight,” she explained.Rémy shook his head and headed upstairs to freshen up.What at all did Hayes see in that bitch?Why was he friends with her in the first place?She spelt trouble.
Does he know where you are?" Mila inquired as she removed her sunglasses. She was dressed casually in an oversized hoodie, grey sweatpants, and her favourite Nike sneakers. "I told him I was going to meet a friend for coffee. "I figured if I hid the truth, he wouldn't be suspicious," she confirmed. "I think that's better; at least she won't be nervous at any given moment thinking he's tracking or trailing her," Raine said after a while. " So, what's the game plan? I know we want to return him to jail, but how do we do it? And Paige, do you truly adore him?" Mila enquired. She needed to know how the young lady felt about him before they made any plans to send him back to where he came from. "I did at first when I didn't k
“ Ma just left,” Aaliyah said as soon as Willow walked into the house. “ And what did she want?” she headed over to the fridge to get a bottle of water for herself. “She asked for you and then headed to her room to pick up a couple of files and a duffel bag dropped cash on the table and then left. She looked tired though with bags under her eyes, it seems she hasn't been getting enough sleep and rest.” Aaliyah finished. “ She's enjoying her life, just let her live it to the fullest. We would be important to her when she grows grey.” she picked the cash from the table. “ Anyways, how have you been? School? Crushes? What's new with you?” she teased “ School has been stressful, it's always been stressful and you know that.
“ Niel, what a surprise!” Raine exclaimed. He stood at her door grinning from ear to ear. “ Come on in,” she ushered him inside. Gia walked past Raine and Niel without looking up from her phone. She's beautiful. He thought to himself. “ Who was that?” he couldn't help but ask Raine. She's my step-sister, Gia. Just as she introduced her, Kaia came out of her room and was about to yell at Raine until she spotted Niel. “ Hey, there handsome, Raine darling, who's your guest?” she flirted as Gia came out of the kitchen with a mug in her hand. “ I'm Niel,” he answered, distracted. “ Raine, have you served our guest with anythin
Mila had gotten to know about her brother's relationship with Gia through Raine. She wasn't happy about it and wanted to confront him or even scold him. But Raine stopped her from doing so. As much as it hurt seeing them together, Gia mocking her at home non-stop, she decided to let go. She believed her man would come her way at the right time. The holiday break was around the corner and so they were writing their end-of-semester examination. One more semester and they were done with high school. They had shown interest in Willow's road trip idea and right after their last paper, they were going to pack their luggage and then head off. They all needed a break from their lives and the road trip was a good idea for that. Their English teacher had also postponed the date of submission of their essays because most pe
Rémy paced up and down in his room. He didn't know whom to choose. Raine. His closeness to her had made him develop a soft spot for her. She was funny, sassy, confident and caring. To crown it all, she's pretty. Mila on the other hand was the strongest girl he'd ever met. She was fierce, kind, caring, and loving and she got the sass. He knew his brother had also begun to develop a soft spot for her as well. Should I let her go or fight for her love? What if she doesn't feel the same way I feel for her? What if, just what if?he couldn't help but wonder. Hayes stood by his brother's door watching him pace up and do
EpilogueOne year along the line… Hayes stood by the door of Maryse 'room admiring how she had curled up beside his girlfriend in a peaceful sleep. They were currently in their final year of university. Remy and Raine were engaged to be married in a couple of weeks. Willow and Neo had welcomed their quadruplets , three girls and a boy. After Kaia's disappearance, he had not heard anything about her. She had not reached out to him about Maryse. Though he did not want her to, she should have made an effort just to prove that she cared. "How long have you been standing there?" Mila asked. He hadn't noticed she was awake and watching him. " Um, for a couple of minutes," his ears turned pink. Mila chuckled at him carefully getting out of bed in order not to wake Maryse up. Phebe and Niel were going strong. She was helping him manage the family business by interning there. She was happy for her friend with how things were falling in place for her. Mila had never imagined being w
" Someone is glowing!" Blair playfully nudged her friend as they walked to class." I always glow," she shrugged." This is different honey, trust me. I think something else is making you glow, or should I say, someone instead?" she asked making her friend blush as she recalled memories of their sexcapade a few days ago." You're blushing!"" No, I'm not Blair," she pouted as they burst into laughter entering their lecture hall.Phebe hadn't returned from Phoenix yet, she was returning tomorrow and she couldn't wait to hear all that her friend had to say.They had a whole lot to talk about and she couldn't wait. The excitement alone was killing her"Do you have to go?" Niel leaned by the door of his bedroom as he watched his girl pack for her flight." As much as I don't want to, babe you know I gotta go." she walked towards him pecking him at the corner of his lips." I know, but, like can't you switch schools or something?" he playfully asked in a cute voice." No, no babe. I can't,
" How's Phoenix baby girl?" Mila asked Phebe as soon as she answered the phone." It's beautiful, great actually," she answered grinning from ear to ear on the phone." Seems like someone is treating you nice, yes?" she asked about her brother." He is, and I am amazed at how fast a person could change. He's everything I've ever wanted in a man now," Phebe blushed making Mila 'awwwn' at the other end of the line." Yeah, babe, I will call you back in a few. He's taking me out on a surprise. I will update you on whatever happens. Say hi to lover boy for me," she added hanging up the call.Hayes walked into the apartment feeling tired and worn out. He had a terrible day at school and practice and wasn't in the mood for anything else apart from food and sleep." Hayes, are you okay?" she asked him as she met him in the kitchen getting food for himself after a quick shower." I'm fine," he answered walking past her." Babe, you don't look good. What happened?" Mila asked again. Aside from
“ Get a room love birds!” Willow screamed at Hayes and Mila from the penthouse. Hayes and Mila stood at the shore of the beach sucking each other’s faces off.They had traveled out to one of Khalil’s father’s penthouse which was close to the beach. They needed to bond before they headed back to school the following week. Mila smiled at her friends while walking along the shore with her boyfriend. Phebe, Willow, and Khalil stood looking down at them and Raine and Rémy. “ Aren’t you both joining them for some fun?” Willow asked them.“ Nope,” they both replied popping the ‘p’“ Besides, breakfast is ready. We better start heading inside,” Khalil announced. “ Breakfast is ready love birds!” Phebe yelled at the top of her lungs notifying the couples by the shore. “ Coming!” Mila replied as they headed for the house." Excuse me, let me take this," Phebe said walking out to answer the call as her friends sat at the table eating breakfast." Is she going to be okay?" Khalil asked after
“ Babe...Mila, I am tired of the back and forth between both of us. It's clear we both like each other but are too hotheaded to confess how we feel to each other. But, I am going to have to risk it. I've loved you from the latter part of our senior year till now and the love I have for you keeps growing each time I meet you. We've been on dates, been there for each other and all. All I want to ask is would you do me the honors of being my girlfriend?” Hayes asked her.“ You know you can do it in person instead of talking to a mirror and you know she will say yes right?” Mila said behind him smiling. He was too shocked to say anything because he wasn’t expecting her to be in the door way. She just walked majestically towards him and kissed him square on the lips before saying “ Hayes Miller, I would love to be your girlfriend,”“ It’s about damn time,” he replied making her chuckle.“ But I have a question,” she smiled mischievously.“ Please don’t ask why I was speaking to a mirror,”
“ Just listen to what he has to say Phebs,” Mila said to her friend. Phebe had attended the wedding and was spending the holidays with Mila.“ Why should I?” she asked frustrated pacing up and down the hotel room.“ Because he’s bugging me and most importantly, because you like him. No matter how you deny the fact, you do like him and I think he likes you too,”“ Why doesn’t he say it? He seems uncertain on what he wants Mila,” she tried convincing her.“ Honestly, I don’t know. I can’t tell, perhaps you can talk to him for answers,” Mila suggested. “ I will...eventually,” she murmured walking into the bathroom.Willow stood by the window staring at the gorgeous view in front of her. She never imagined herself being where she was today. “ A penny for your thoughts Mrs. Bennett?” her husband asked standing right behind her. Mrs. Bennett, she liked how the name sounded in her ears. “ I’m just counting how blessed I am,” she answered facing her husband, holding his waist in the proce
Mila smiled at her brother and her best friend while they did the couple's dance. School had gone on a summer break so she had come down to attend her brother's and best friend's wedding. Her parents didn't show up as usual with the excuse that they had been caught up with business but sent a gift for the couple. Surprisingly, Willow’s mom showed up for the wedding as a way to make it up to her kids for all she did.“ Are you okay?” Raine asked her friend taking a seat next to her.“ I'm fine. I'm happy for Willow. She deserves all that she's getting right now,” Mila smiled.“ She’s been through shit hasn't she?” “ A whole lot,” Mila replied as Raine walked off towards her boyfriend who was seeking her attention.“ And there was one,” she said audibly.“ Tell me about it,” Aaliyah replied sitting close to her.“ Hey kiddo, what's up? Where's Corey?” she asked her. She hadn't had time to work things out with her boyfriend. Things were a little awkward and shaky between them.“ Honest
Christian had grown accustomed to his new home and liked it better than the first. He loved his brother no doubt but he hardly spent more time with him. They went out often but not as often as how he wanted it to be.Staying with Neo and Tara was great. He loved the way they both loved him to bits and how they treated him.“ Hey C,” Tara pecked him on his cheeks.“ Morning Tara,” he smiled happily munching on some pancakes Neo had made him before heading off to work.“ As much as you’re enjoying these pancakes, you need to hurry up so we don’t get late for school,” she ruffled his hair.“ Done!” he said getting off his chair and dusting off invincible crumbs of his shirt. Tara carried both her lunch bag and his as they hurried to the car where their driver was waiting for them.“Babe , I’m sorry! Aaliyah please” Corey begged as she walked away. She wasn’t in the mood to speak to him after all he said to her when she just wanted to know what was going on with him.Was that too much of
Hayes kissed Mila against the wall, his groin against her. Mila let out pleasurable moans, clearly enjoying his actions, as he abruptly stopped and walked out of the room.She stood at the same spot wondering why he had walked off leaving her standing by herself.Hayes heard the door to the bathroom slam shut as he let out a sigh of relieve. He wanted her so bad but couldn’t take advantage of her during the spur of the moment. The reality wasn’t that he couldn’t but he didn’t want to, he didn’t want to have just casual sex with her but wanted something real. Hayes and Mila got back from Cali a couple of hours ago. She didn’t want to go to her apartment but wanted to sleepover at Hayes’ apartment and then left the next day. If she went straight to her apartment, she knew she would have to unpack and she was feeling lazy doing that. After a couple of minutes, she came out of Hayes room fully dressed and walked past him without a word.“ Mila, I’m sorry I ———“ It’s fine, I understan
