Epilogue

One 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

    "I can't believe summer vacation is almost over," Mila said over the phone to her best friend, Willow."Tell me about it. At least we have dance tryouts to look forward to," Willow reminded her."Yeah, when is Khalil coming back? I've missed him," Mila asked, browsing through the stationery section of the mall's bookstore."He said he and his boyfriend Jake would be here in two days. I appreciate how supportive his parents were when he came out as gay," Willow revealed."Yeah, they're really great parents... so he's missing the first day of school?" Mila inquired."Mila, honey, school starts in two days. Today is Saturday," Willow chuckled at her friend's forgetfulness."Ah, that's why Forever 21 is packed. I better grab some outfits for school before all the good ones are gone," Mila said, heading to the shop."Actually, I'm inside already," Willow replied, spotting her friend and waving. Mila hung up the phone and made her way over, muttering a few "sorrys" as she navigated through t

    “You were rude to her, so you deserve everything and more." Nina voiced out. Hayes and his friends hang out at Mike's house. They had a lair where five of them hang most of the time. “Why are you defending her? Is it because you're both on the same stupid team that's why you defend that fake ass bitch?" Austin asked, taking a drag of his cigar. “First of all, smoking kills, and my team ain't stupid. Mila is the most real person you could ever find in Henry M. Gunn high school," she stated. “Enough of the fake ass bitch, is there a party tonight?" Mike changed the topic. “None that I've heard of," Austin answered. “There is, actually." Hayes showed them a chat between him and Trisha, the school whore inviting them for a p

    “Um, why is Hayes glaring at you?" Jake asked Mila at the table. “I guess he likes what he sees," she said loud enough for him to hear. “Ha! you wish, I'd rather stick it in a hole than to fuck you, Ms fakey," he replied in the same tone, loud enough for everyone to hear. There were murmurs of 'burns' and 'she deserves it' but she masked it with a dry laugh. “I'll bet the hole doesn't get STDs from you since you can't help but stop sticking it in every skirt you see," she smirked at him. “Scowls don't look good on you, Miller." she winked at him. “At least I get laid, but you never have ever since Ace Smith, does that ring a bell?" he laughed walking off. Ace was a sour topic for Mila and her friends. He was a past she wanted to keep buried, but it seems that won't be the case anymore now that Hayes had brought it up. The whole cafeteria went silent as Mila and her friends walked out. “You crossed the lineman,"

    Mom, dad?" Mila was shocked to see her parents in the kitchen when she got back from school.“Hi hunny, how was school today?" her mom asked.“It was fine, how come I didn't know you were coming home today?" she asked taking a can of soda from the fridge.“Oh, we were just coming for some documents and decided to wait for you to close from school before we left," he told.“Safe trip back." she walked towards the stairs.“Can we get a hug or a kiss from you at least?" her mom inquired.“No, all you care about is work this and work that, oh how about you adapt your work as your child then you can ask for hugs and kisses. No wonder Noel and Niel decided to be far away from you." she finished walking up the stairs.“Mila Louie Bennett, apologise to your mom right now or else---“Else what dad? I'd be grounded or my cars were taken away from me, oh wait you'd send me off to a military

    We thought you'd gone with Austin?" Willow asked. “Nope, he's got basketball practice, they claim they have a match on Friday," she said approaching the girls. “So are we still up for a sleepover today?" Willow asked. Raine had asked the girl's over at her house for a sleepover. She wanted to know them much better. “Of course we are. But I need a ride home. My ride wouldn't be done with practice anytime soon and I don't want to ride with Nina and Natalie either." she begged. “Sure we can drop you off, come on," Mila added as they headed off to the parking lot where her jeep was parked. “I love your ride, whoever this is for." she chuckled. “Thanks, it's mine, Willow drives us on Thursday and Friday," Mila explained. “This is my stop, you guys meet me here tonight so I direct you home for the sleepover." Raine bid her friends goodbye as they drove off. The junction where she alighted was just 10 seconds walk from her house. “Maybe she wants to surprise us, that's why she didn't

    “ 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

    “ 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!"

    “ 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

    " 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
