“ Watch where you're going, Miller," Mila said to him before he almost bumps into her.
“ Urgh, why do I always, always get into an argument with you Fakey?" he sighed.
“Trust me, I hate it too. I wonder why your sister is so cool and you and a dumbass," she added. She saw a flash of hurt in his eyes before masking it up with a smirk.
“Because she's just a loser like you, you think alike," he added.
“ Tsk, tsk, tsk. Very funny." she shook her head at him as Trisha approached him.
“Hey, babe, " she glared at Mila.
“It's Hayes, Trudy," he said to her, making Mila and a few of the students chuckle.
“ I understand you don't want to put a label on it and it's Trisha." she corrected as Hayes winked at another girl in the crowd walking off.
“Don't you dare, don't," Mila added, sensing Trisha was going to warn her about staying away from Hayes and how they belonged. She wasn't ready for that this morning.
“Hey, girlfriend...Excuse me." Raine pushed Trisha out of her way as she moved over to Mila.
“Hey, I've been looking all over for you," Mila added as Trisha stormed off embarrassed.
“ Did her mom come to see her at the hospital?" she asked, referring to Willow. She had a really bad fever and stomach bug which landed her in the hospital.
“According to Aaliyah, all she did was facetime her and asked for the total amount of her bills once she had been discharged," Mila explained as they walked to their next class.
“Poor Willow, we would go see her after school then," Raine told.
“Austin?" Raine exclaimed as she saw her boyfriend with his tongue down some other girl's throat. He didn't care that a crowd formed around them or the fact that he was caught. He'd gotten all he wanted from Raine, her body and her money, and other privileges from her family that had been secured and couldn't be retracted no matter how they tried.“Austin!!" she yelled.
“What? What is it?" he replied angrily
“What's this? All of this." she pointed to the girl.
“Oh, she's my girl. I'm done with you. So move on to someone else." he waved dismissively.
“Okay, have fun with that," she smirked.
“ Oh, you were hoping for me to react ain't it. Well booo sorry to burst your bubble but I ain't gonna. You got someone you truly deserve. A jerk like you deserves a hoe like her." she simply put.
“Don't you dare open that trap door call a mouth sweetheart or I am so gonna mess it up." Raine warned.
“ Finally, you dumped her ass. I'm so happy for you." Hayes clapped him in his back.
“ I always say to myself, just be quiet when he makes a comment or passes by, but I can't. You know why?" Mila asked.
“Why!" A random student asked within the crowd.
“You, Hayes Miller are the most stupid and dumbest person alive, seriously. Who really says that to a friend in front of a girl he's broken up with? Even if you don't like her, you don't say that." she insulted him
“Watch it, Bennett, " he clenched his fists.
“Or what? You hit me or any of my male friends? You know this isn't about us. It's about this other douchebag you call a friend who doesn't have sense, not manners. Come on Raine, let's get out of here." Mila finished as she walked away with her friend.
The crowd dispersed as Raine and Mila walked out.
“Hey, I'm sorry about those two, Austin has always been a jerk and an asshole." Vanilla insulted. She was with Kiera while they watched the whole event fold up.
“ It's fine, I was blind not to see this, or let me say I just thought he was going to change and I didn't want to leave because I was scared of being alone but no more," Raine confessed.
“We wanted to know if we could get a ride to visit Aaliyah and her sister in the hospital?" Vanilla asked.
“ Of course, you girls can." Mila put her hand over Kiera's shoulder as they walked to her car.
******
“He what? How stupid can he be?" Willow insulted as they told her about Raine and Austin's break up.
“Miss Evans, you've got visitors." the nurse said.
“Visitors?" she asked. She didn't have anyone else to come to visit apart from those who were already in her room.
“ Yeah, twin guys probably in college," she said. As soon as the nurse said that, Mila's eyes grew huge. They only visited during occasions so how come they were here today. She wondered.
“ Surprise!" Niel yelled as they walked in with food and flowers. Mila rushed to hug her brothers tightly. She had missed them very much. She knew Willow and Neo had a thing for each other but we're too shy to act on it.
“ The sexual tension here could be cut with a knife, it's so thick." Raine teased starring between Willow and Neo.
“Tell me about it sista, anywho Raine meet my brothers Neo and Neil. Guys, meet Raine, our friend." Mila introduced them. Aaliyah, Vanilla and Kiera had decided to go home to relax for a while.
“It's nice to meet you, Raine." they both said.
“ The pleasure is mine," she answered.
“ I thought I told you to take good care of yourself and here you are in a hospital." Neo sweetly scolded Willow.
“ Um, blame the fever, not me." she blushed.
“Oh my, just be girlfriend and boyfriend already. I won't kill you guys. You have the liberty to date who you want to. Jeez, we've been over this for like how many times?" Mila questioned glaring at both Willow and Neo.
“ Let's give lover boy and girl some space," Neil suggested as they walked out.
"... how did you guys know I was here?" Willow asked.
“We got home and Naya told us. So we decided to come after Mila had closed from school," he explained.
“ You know we had rehearsals after school, so what if she went before coming here?" she smiled.
“ You and I know she won't go knowing you're sick in the hospital. You're like the sister she never had. She loves you to bits, just like...." he trailed off.
“ Just like you do?" Willow finished.
“Yes, just like I do." he took her hands into his.
“ How about a date, after you get out of here?" he asked.
“That sounds fun, I would be looking forward to it." she blushed.
“And I would help you get a dress," Mila added, entering with Niel and Raine.
“ You eavesdropped?" Neo had a pretty frown on his face.
“Nope, you were too loud." she goofily grinned, making them all laugh.
“ We miss you kiddo." Both twins said at the same time again.
“ And I miss you guys so much, I really really do," she confessed.
This is beautiful, the bond between these siblings.
I'm glad I met these girls. They're the best thing that ever happened to me. Raine thought to herself.
“ Austin, Austin! Just leave, get out." Raine stabbed her finger on his chest.“ Just let me explain, please," he begged.“ There's nothing to explain, I saw you and the funny part was that you dumped me. So what the heck do you want here after a week?" she asked.“ I, I -um..." he rubbed his neck.“ Ha! Wait, wait a minute. You're broke and you need money. Sorry to burst your bubble but there's no more money for you and your pathetic self." she insulted turning on her heels towards the stairs.“ Raine, Raine, please don't do this. Raine!" he yelled on top of his lungs.“ That's the door Austin, and don't set your feet in here again, if you do..." she trailed off walking up the stairs ignoring his pleas.What and whom does he take me for?A fool?“ I'm getting married to your mom, goddammit!" Cole yelled on top of his lungs.“ So? What do yo
“ We need the deets girl, how did it go?" Both Raine and Mila said at the same time.“Chill, calm your tits girls." Willow smiled as they walked towards the stall on the beach to get food to eat. They had gone out on a girls day with Aaliyah and her friends as well. Just to blow off steam.“Naah, we're too eager to calm down. Now spill!"Mila ordered.“ Can we get some food first, woman?" Willow rolled her eyebrows.“ Fine, but just cause we're star----Mila stood as her eyes grew wide as saucers. She saw the guy who forced herself on her pass-by.When did he become a free man?How come she never heard of his release?Raine and Willow followed her gaze and also saw him. Raine had the same expression Mila had. Willow was just angry. He did the craziest thing by smirking at them as he walked off.“ Did he just?!" Willow burst out. She almost stormed over to him but Mila and Raine held her
Earth to Raine," Khalil said, startling her.“Yeah?" she said, pushing her food around on her plate. Ever since she saw Asher at the beach she had been edgy and uncomfortable.“You alright?" Jake asked as she nodded. She's been living ever since that day. She just goes home to pick up clothes and come back to hers. Not that Mila disliked the idea, but she was worried about her friend.“What if he comes back?" she found herself asking."Then he's got all of us to deal with. We're much stronger now. We've got each other back now. He can't harm you, Raine." Willow squeezed her hand.“Seriously Hayes?" he stood there smirking. He had dumped a cup of coffee all over Mila's shorts.“The colour looks good on you though," he burst out into laughter."Low move man, low move," Khalil said to him"What you gonna do about it gay boy? Huh?" he asked."Hayes Miller, my office now!" the principal bellowed,
Niel and Neo had left for school a week ago and Willow and Raine were a little grumpy. Willow had missed her boyfriend, Raine had missed Niel. Those two had a strong connection going on but hadn't worked on it, knowing very well they liked each other. Niel and Neo we're of the same height, 6'8. Olive skinned, handsome but had different eye colours. Neo had dark brown eyes while Niel had deep grey eyes. Niel was a little heavier than his twin and had dimples. Neo had pink cute lips rather than dimples.The tension between those two was so thick it could be sawed into half. Mila, Aaliyah, Vanilla and Kiera had planned a little surprise for those two to make them feel better.With the help of Aaliyah and her friends, they were able to clear out her lair and turn it into a home cinema. They had selected a couple of movies such as; To all the boys I've loved; Always and Forever, The prom, Raja and the lost dragon, and the wish dragon, and Luna.Naya helped prepare snacks for the movie nigh
" Kassy, just in time f---, what the hell is he doing here?" Mila fumed. "You think I like being here huh?" Hayes asked matching her tonation. "Sorry I didn't inform you, Mila, he's my student...lemme just say I tutor him and I thought it wise for him to be here for our session today so I don't have to teach him after this one," Kassy explained. "I am agreeing on this just for you Kassy, just for you. Come on, in" she ushered them into the study room. There were snacks and bottles of water on the table as they entered. "Please help yourself to anything, I'd be back in a jiffy." she bolted up the stairs to her room and the group texted her friends. Mila: Hayes Miller is at my house!
"Could you guys stop acting as if you care? What's the matter, why did you video call us all?" Mila cut to the chase. " Honey, that's no way to talk to your mom," Naya added. " That's fine, Naya." her dad said as she rolled her eyes at them. " Mom, dad cut to the chase, I've got class in a bit," Neo added. "Fine, we've got a new addition to the family... and she would be staying with Naya and Mila." their mom told. "You had another kid and you didn't bother telling us?" Both Neil and Mila said. " How old is she?" Naya sighed. " 3 years old." Mr Bennett rubbed his head. " So, you're
Who's at the door this early?" Mila rubbed her eyes and unlocked her bedroom door as she headed downstairs to check who was at the door that early. "I'm coming, jeez. Calm your ti--- "Raine?" she wondered what she was doing at her house early on a Saturday morning. She noticed bruises on her body and her arm held up in a cast. " Who did this to you?" Mila asked letting her friend in. " My mom and dad." she croaked. " What? Why?" she tried not to wake Naya and Tara up as they climbed up to her room. " Because they enjoy doing it. They just like to abuse me just for the fun of it," she told her friend. " You don't believe me right
"Who's Mila walking with?" Jake asked his boyfriend seated at their regular table. " Babe, let's wait until they get here," he answered, not looking up from his phone. " How come you're more interesting and less annoying than that jerk of your brother? No offence though?" she couldn't help but ask. She met him stranded in the hallway while rushing to class. Apparently, he was a new student on transfer from another school and the brother to her arch-nemesis, Hayes. At first, she was reluctant to help him when he mentioned his name, but on second thought, she decided to. She went with him to the administration for his schedule. It turned out that he had the same schedule as hers so she walked to class with him talking abou
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
