Micah's POV The party was going smoothly and I had received a bunch of gifts but nothing from Juliet. I could lie to myself and say that I cared but I honestly didn't. With her not speaking to me, there was no drama.Maya was speaking to Lydia close to the pool and they were both giggling."You are staring bro." Ted's voice startled me making me spill my drink.I glanced over at him in annoyance."What the fuck, Ted?" "Sorry man, I didn't know you were holding a drink." He apologized with barely any remorse in his eyes. In fact, there was a glint of mischief in them and I knew he was about to say something outrageous.I rolled my eyes at him and placed my drink on the table and checked my outfit for any stains."It didn't spill on your shirt, dude, relax" Ted remarked with a chuckle."No thanks to you." I glared.Ted laughed it off in the usual Ted fashion."So, what really is the plan?"Ted asked, coming to sit beside me."For what exactly?" I questioned even though I knew exactly
Micah's povI sat in the cafeteria watching as Maya spoke to her friends animatedly.They all seemed to be back to normal and the motion irked me.I missed when she was all mine. We didn't have any lectures together today, so I didn't have any excuse to go up to her and frankly, I didn't want to. My feelings towards and for her were still very confusing She'd texted me last night but I hadn't responded for fear of… I wasn't sure what I was afraid of and I didn't want to think about it more than I already had."You realize you are making groggily eyes at her, don't you?" Ted chuckled beside me.Fuck! I cursed internally.I hadn't realized that I had been staring so long."At who?" I glanced at him, pretending not to know what he was talking about."Red, you've been staring at her like a love struck puppy for the past five minutes.""That's not true." I rolled my eyes, trying to look as calm as possible."Sure buddy," Ted patted me on the back.He rose from his seat and finished his ca
Micah's POV "Nice haircut Luke." Maya smiled at the blonde dumbass."You like it?" Luke giggled like a schoolgirl.Luke seemed to be the only one that Maya could tolerate among my friends. She spoke to all of them politely but she was especially nice to Luke and sometimes Ted. I found it cute that she was giving them a chance to prove themselves even though she wasn't a fan."Yeah, I love it. Makes you look more mature. I'm sure other girls have mentioned how good it looks." Maya replied with a cheeky smile."Well, the only girl's opinion that matters is standing right in front of me."Luke teased, wiggling his eyebrows at her.Maya rolled her eyes at him but chuckled good-naturedly at his awkward attempt to flirt.She was so mesmerizing, it was scary how willing I was to stare at her for days without break."You are starting again," Justin whispered in my ears."Fuck off," I gritted, making sure Maya didn't hear me."Remember the best lover boy," he chuckled before walking off with
Maya's POV "You realize he is doing all of this to get closer to you right?" Lydia remarked that morning after I had told her the truth about me and Micah's relationship."Maybe so but it's good pay, so I'm not going to just give that up.""True," she nodded.I was so glad I was talking to my best friends again and I didn't even have to do any sort of grand gesture with her.Daniel and I were in a good place. He'd forgiven me instantly during Micah's party when I had gone to him with a gift. I had been surprised he'd accepted my apology letter and a necklace that got him that had him and my initials in it. He has been wearing it everywhere and I found it cute.We were all supposed to meet tomorrow at a cafe to hangout and I couldn't wait.I hd no idea how sad I had been until we all became friends again .Daniel told me how I had hurt him by ignoring his warnings and then blowing him off for Micah that had always treated me badly. I explained to him that I had forgiven Micah and that
Maya's POV I watched as Micah stood up abruptly and began to pace his room. He looked like he was trying to gather his thoughts and at the same time talk himself out of gathering his thoughts and telling me what was going on with him. He seemed to be distraught and I was confused. "This is kind of embarrassing but," he stopped and sighed again and then resumed his seat beside me. I could tell he was finding it difficult to spill how he was feeling and I couldn't help but see him differently. Micah was not one to mince his words. He was on the list of direct people I knew, so for him to find it hard to talk, it meant that whatever was bothering him was driving him crazy. I was glad that I had asked him. "I hate talking about it but you saw my parents leave in a hurry just now, didn't you?" He asked and I nodded. "Yeah, I did." I said, facing him completely. "We, that's how it is with them. For the longest time, all I remember about them is their backs turned to me. I know i
Maya's POV I watched in crippling embarrassment as Juliet angrily yelled at Micah. Not only was she upset she was red in the face with her eyes welling up in anger. I felt like an idiot just standing there doing nothing. Quickly I got my things and made for the door but Juliet was faster than me, she blocked my way and pulled my hair back before I could get to the door, asking me where the hell I thought I was going to."Juliet please," I said to her "just let me go, I don't want to be part of this," my voice was bordering on pleading.I knew this was all my fault but what could I do? Micah and I had been caught up in the moment and had almost kissed. I felt so ashamed. I knew I had said that I wasn’t going to stay away from Micah When Juliet had provoked me and threatened me to stay away from Micah or she would do something bad to me but I had not meant it at all.All I wanted was to be friends with Micah… at least that was what I was telling myself my wolf did not believe me.
Micah's POV I watched as Maya walked out ignoring my plea for her to wait. It was not what she was thinking and I had not said anything to Juliet. I hated the tears that rolled down from my eyes when Juliet had mentioned her mother. I was completely distraught by her words and when she’d looked at me with shock, I had lost it.How on earth had Juliet found out about Maya’s mother? And why would she say something so cruel?“Maya, Please wait!” I tried to call out to her again. But all I could see was her back as she ran away from me. I looked down at Juliet, who was still glaring at me with contempt in her eyes and felt the inexplicable urge to snap her in half.“ How dare you?” I sneered.“How dare me? You were the one cheating on me. What are you talking about, Micah?” she retorted.“You’re right. I think I have given you way too much leverage. I cannot keep doing this with you, Juliet. Try as you may, you are still a fucking bitch and I’m done with you. Get out of my house.”
Maya's POVI ran out of Micah’s house, tears streaming down my face. All I could think about was how betrayed I felt. How could he do this to me? I thought we were friends. Why would he tell Juliet about my mother? And they had sex last night too? I felt like such a fool. I thought we were bonding, I thought we were friends, I thought I meant something to him, but of course I was just an idiot.Daniel had been right about Micah. He was not good for me. I should have heeded to his warnings but I was too stubborn to listen. I thought I had found a friend, I thought there was more to him that met the eyes, turned out I had been fooling myself into thinking that. It had been nothing but wishful thinking.I wasn’t sure how I had found my way to Daniel’s place or even his arms but it was the only place giving me comfort.“It’s okay, it’s okay Maya” Daniel patted my head, cooing in hushed tones. He’d been listening to me for hours go on about how Micah had betrayed me and had not on
