"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
" Hey, ready for our last trip?" Remy asked walking into Raine's room. She was wearing a cute turquoise dress and was fixing her makeup. " Um, of course. How do I look by the way?" she asked checking herself out in the mirror. "Gorgeous, as always." Remy complimented making her blush. " Thanks, Remy, let's get going," she responded picking her bag and heading out of the hotel room. The ride was fun, with them singing to songs that played on the radio. As much as how fun it was, it was also a short ride. In no time they had arrived. The stars sparkled beautifully in the skies as Remy helped Raine out of the car. There was faint music playing in the background and the pathway was shinning with lights that were used to decorate it. We aren't yet there but I can sense this is going to be beautiful.Raine thought to herself as Remy led the way. Raine was awed by the view in front of her. It was a beautiful sight to behol
Months had passed by since Kaia left town to start life afresh. She came home twice a week to check up on her sister and her best friend and hadn't thought about her baby for once. Her money has been had paid on time each month since she left. " I feel it's been ages since we last met like this," Raine spoke out. They were in Mila's room on the floor after eating lunch. Raine and Remy were now a couple and they were the cutest couple ever. Mila was so happy for her friend. She had been through so much and it was her time to enjoy happiness, and she was doing a great job at that. " We met at school yesterday, "Willow pointed out. " I know, I meant we spending time at Mila's," she further explained. " That's true though," Raine agreed. " So what's new with the newest baby daddy in town?" Willow asked after a while. " Surprisingly, he's doing great. I thought he wasn't ready or cut up for all of this," Mila responded. " And
" Don't you miss your child just a little bit?" Hayes questioned Kaia over the phone. She had called to confirm the receipt of this month's allowance. " No, I don't, why should I miss her? I didn't want her anyways, so there is no need to waste my time on her. Besides, I heard you're doing a good job taking care of her so I got no worries." Kaia shrugged it off as if it was no big deal. But how can a mother have hatred for a child she carried for 9 months? How heartless can she be? How the hell did I even hook up with her? " I thought you leaving town would change your perception but I just realized you're a stuck-up bitch!" he insulted dropping the call on her. " We don't need her anyway, good riddance to bad rubbish." Just then the doorbell rang. Who could that be? The nanny and my baby are upstairs, today's a school day so it's neither of my friends. He thought to himself walking towards the d
" Why do you dislike me so much?" Gia asked Mila stopping by her locker. " Great question, I loathe you because you never speak when you know what your friends and your sister are doing is wrong and is going to cause dire consequences to the person. Yes, you don't bully or insult or do anything as such. You just stand there and stare, with a smug look on your face." Mila pointed out. " Can't you pretend to like me for the sake of your brother?" she stood holding her waist. "Neil, knows I don't like you. I know it bothers him and he knows I suck at pretending to like someone I can't stand. So no Gia, I can't and won't like you until maybe you decide to change until then...sorry. And oh, thanks for double-crossing Raine to get with Neil, she's got someone who loves and cherishes her for whom she is." Mila flipped her hair walking past her with satisfaction in her eyes. At least I tried. Gia thought to herself walking in the opposite direction. "It's high time you stop wasting your h
" Relax Hayes, you've got me and the nanny to take care of her. She would be fine, go have fun." Mimi said to her son. Mila had stopped by a couple of days to invite him for a surprise party they were throwing for her brothers who had just completed college. He had agreed to the offer to attend the party but now that the day had come, he was reluctant to leave Maryse with his mom and nanny alone. What if something bad happened? he couldn't help but worry. " Hayes got out and have fun it's been a while since you did. Don't be a boring dad. Maryse would be fine with us." his nanny added. To feel much better, he had called in a favor from one of his dad's bodyguards to keep an eye on his nanny and mom while he was away. Fred was the son of one of his father's bodyguards. When Fred's father died, his dad hired Fred to take the place of his dad because of how loyal and good the man was. Fred and Hayes had been good friends since infancy, he had his back since day one, and he was the only
" So, I just realized Hayes started coming to school again. I thought he had opted for online classes to take care of his baby what happened?" Khalil asked Mila. She was as confused as Khalil was. Hayes hadn't told her he was returning to school. He never mentioned school each time they met. " This may sound strange but I am as confused as you are, I didn't know he was returning," she drank her smoothie with a loud slurp earning a glare from Jax. She knew how slurps irritated him but she loved to do them anyway, just to get a reaction out of him as she just did. " I love you too," she teased him. " Um, can someone tell me what Kaia is doing here?" Willow asked joining her friends at the table. " She's back, she decided to transfer schools again. I heard she and Gia argue throughout the night." Raine replied. " Well...so," Khalil tried changing the topic as they heard loud voices over Hayes's table. They neared them to hear what Kaia was screaming her head off about. " OH NO, YOU
Mila and Raine entered the school and noticed people murmuring and pointing at them. What had happened? “ There you are, come on we have class,” Willow said rushing towards them. She knew what Kaia had done and she was boiling deep inside. How could she think of doing something like that? “ Chill Willow, we have like 5 more minutes and besides I got to go for my books,” Raine answered heading towards her locker as Mila did the same wondering why her friend was acting weird. “ Mila do yo—- What the hell? Who did this?” Raine let out a piercing scream shaking. Mila picked up the file that had fallen out of her locker. She opened it and she had the shock of her life. It was pictures of her and Ace when he forced himself on her. But the pictures only show her sitting and him kissing her. That wasn’t what happened. She was trying to push him off at that time but he wasn’t budging. Raine was a mess seated on the floor crying her eyes out while Mila stood frozen at the spot. Hayes t
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
