Willow and the girls stood at the front row screaming on top of their lungs. Tara was somewhere in the crowd with her favourite people, Jax and Khalil. She hardly spent much time with her sister unless it was time to eat, nap, bath or bedtime, or maybe she wanted to stay with Mila. Apart from that, she was always with her besties, Jax and Khalil.
Trisha, Gia, and Kaia stood a little farther from Mila and her friends taking snaps and making funny videos not actually paying attention to the songs being played.
Why then did they come to the concert ?!
“ Oh uh hey...” Paige sounded nervous as she bumped into Raine. She knew what she was supposed to help them do but she couldn't bring herself to do it because she was head over heels in love with Ace and he seemed to be in love with her too. He looked and seemed as if he was a changed person and she hoped so. “ Hi, Paige, I hope you're doing good?" Raine sensed tension. She knew Paige was not going to turn in her boyfriend because she loved him and he was her boyfriend and she wasn't going to force her into doing something she wasn't comfortable with. “ Hi, how are you?" she composed herself. “ Nothing new, by the way, it was nice meeting you. Do take care of yourself.” Raine bid her goodbye and continued her journey to Mila's. Paige stood rooted at that spot for a while. She was wondering why she didn't ask of Ace and how their plan was coming up or what their next step was. Maybe they gave
“ Thank goodness, I thought you weren't going to make it,” Mila said as soon as Willow, Aaliyah and Raine walked through the door. Mr and Mrs Bennett had arrived a day before thanksgiving and as usual, there was tension especially between them and Naya. “ What's keeping you at the door, Mila?" Her mom yelled from the dining room. She didn't answer as she walked with her friends into the dining. Not that her parents minded anyway, all they wanted was to get over with the dinner and then go back to their work so they don't get called ‘bad parents’. Gia was there with her boyfriend, Niel as well. The table was set for dinner and the room was quiet except for the cutlery which could be heard. “ So, Niel who is this damsel you came in with?” his dad broke the silence. He was in no mood to answer the question when Gia spoke up. “ I'm his girlfriend,” she smirked at Raine. “ That's great, so how did you both meet? I want to know more. I h
"Just choose one. The one whom you like the most." Vanilla told Remy. He had told her how he felt about both girls and how he was having trouble choosing one of them. " Vanilla, they're best friends. I'm confused." he sat on his bed. " Tell me, who lights up your day when you see her? Who makes you want to go to school each day just to see her smile?" Vanilla asked waiting for his answer. " Raine" " Mila" Vanilla turned to see Hayes at the door. She had forgotten to close the door when she walked in. " Wait, what?" Vanilla asked shocked. She was happy for both brothers at the same time relieved they hadn't liked the same girl. " Tell them you like them. For all, you know they both like you guys too." Vanilla pointed out. " As if it's that easy, She's my frenemy do you think she would want to go out with me?" Hayes stated out the obvious. " Have you tried?" " No, and don't go yappi
" What? You're what? when? how?" Hayes reacted when Kaia decided to announce her pregnancy in front of the school. He was shocked at the news like everyone was at that moment. But what broke him was the pain on Mila's face. Their friendship had improved drastically and it was blooming into something beautiful until Kaia destroyed it with her news.He didn't deny the fact that he had had sex with her before but he had always used protection. The condom could have broken during their escapades.He went after Mila when he saw her walk off. He needed to explain stuff to her. He needed her to know that when he told her he was going to dump Kaia, he actually did but not in front of the whole school as she had done." Mila wait up, please," he begged." Hayes Miller, there's nothing you could say to change my mind, you broke your own promise. You lied. You said you guys were done and now she's pregnant. You know what enjoy
" Sis, do you have a minute to spare?" Mila asked as she entered Naya's room. Those two had grown much closer than they were before. " Sure, sit." she patted the space next to her as Mila sat down. She was silent for a while wondering if she should ask what she wanted to or just keep it to herself. " Fine, it's about Hayes. You remember me telling you how close we were getting and how he ruined it by getting his ex-girlfriend pregnant?" she asked making sure that she recalled. " Of course I do. I can't forget how you cried yourself to sleep over that matter. What's new with them?" " Well, Willow thinks I should ask Hayes for clarification on this matter because he may not have known about the pregnancy earlier and if he did, he wouldn't have led me on. Kaia's sister is also saying Willow is right. Now I am kinda confused as to what to do. Listen to me or listen to what Kaia and Willow are saying." she explained waiting for an answer to her probl
Weeks passed and it was getting more difficult for Kaia. The morning sickness and the back pain was too much for her to bear. She was just in her first trimester and it was getting tiring for her, and her baby bump began to show. I should have flushed this out the very moment I found out that I was pregnant. I'm so not ready to become a mother. What have I done to myself?she thought to herself as Hayes drove her to the doctor's office. The fun part of it was that he picked her up every day from home to school, and back or from home to the doctor's office and back. They had grown quite close than they ever were because of the baby she was carrying. He had grown attached to his child that he unintentionally rubs her belly at the slightest chance he gets even when he's driving. “ A penny for your thoughts?" Hayes asked as he parked at the hospital's parking lot. Kaia was lost in her own world she didn't realize they
"You can't be mad at your sister because she doesn't like me." Gia sat across from Niel at the restaurant. "It's time for her to let go of her resentment toward you. Raine was led on by me, not you. I chose to pursue you, not you. I saw you, liked you more and chose you. So it's best if she lets that hatred go " he attempted to reason with her. "Give her time," Gia said, dismissing the subject. There was no way in hell she was going to tell him the real reason she despised her. Niel was a nice guy, and she wasn't about to let him go just like that. She also deserved him, she deserved to have good things too. " Enough about Mila, how is Kaia, and how did your parents react to the news?" He shifted the conversation to a different subject. " Kaia is good. She is dissatisfied with her decision, although she is doing well during the pregnancy. I can't speak for my parents. They've been acting strangely since she told them she was pregnant. They are present
" I hope you said Yes?" Mila asked her big sister. She had gone out on a date with Enzo the day before and he had asked her to be his girlfriend. He had been of immense help to Naya and her family and she was eternally grateful for that. Apart from all that. she had had a crush on him for a while now and when he asked her to be his girlfriend she didn't think thrice. She said yes! Who wouldn't want a kind, loving, caring, understanding, and generous man like him? " Naya? You're keeping me in suspense. Did you say yes or no?" Mila drew her attention to her. " Of course, I said yes," she answered happily. " Yaaay! Finally! I'm so happy for you guys. You both deserve each other, a perfect couple made in heaven." she showered her with accolades. " Every relationship has its own problems darling, but I've made up my mind to enjoy it while it lasts," she advised her sister. " Thanks for the advice Naya," " You are welc
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
