"What is it?" Faith asked with apprehension."The news of the...incident at the party last night broke already. It's all over the news. I'm sure reporters are waiting for us at Greenfield right now. Faith sighed. She'd been expecting as much but it still filled her with fear. She leaned against the car door, head against the glass."You won't be able to get around easily for a few days.""Can't we have Devlin come out to clear the air again?""I don't think that'll help this time. He's the one embroiled in the scandal.""What are they saying about it exactly?""That you and Devlin have been secretly dating all this time and that he flipped out because Micheal Wall was hitting on his girl.""What if Devlin tells them that we're not dating?""I don't think they would even believe him if he says that you aren't dating. All the evidence points to the contrary."Faith groaned. "There's nothing to be done then. I'll have to face it head-on."He smiled. "That's the spirit. Here," he pulled

Faith kept her head down as she walked the halls of Greenfield. She couldn't even walk her hallways without being stared at and pointed at.She hadn't ventured out of her apartment since Saturday but she had to go for classes today. She'd spent the weekend preparing herself for the inevitable.She stopped in front of the door and took a deep breath. There probably wouldn't be as many reporters as Saturday since two days had already passed, but Sheila had gone ahead and sent her a message that there were still a few left.She adjusted her clothes, one of the outfits Devlin bought her. Sheila and Adele had spent hours convincing her that if her every move was going to be photographed, she should be well dressed for it.They argued that she would look back in the future and regret her tacky clothing choices. She agreed so here she was clad in designer from head to toe. The girls had happily provided her with shoes and bags.If only everyone was as excited at the prospect of her dating De

"See you all next class!"There was a flurry of movements as everyone packed their books and bags. The lecturer left, but no one else stood up. Faith knew why, they were waiting for her and Devlin.She nudged him. "The class is over. Not that you care."He looked up from his phone. "Finally!" He exclaimed. "I thought it'll never end.""If you'd only looked up from your phone for one second, you may have enjoyed the class. This is one of my favorite classes.""Yeah, whatever. Can we leave now?"She stood. "You're acting like a teenage boy."He grinned. He deepened his voice. "I do a lot of things like a teenage boy.She rolled her eyes at the sexual undertone. "Let's just go," she said, heading out.He grabbed her bag off her shoulder and winked. "Ladies first.""Are you trying to get me killed?" She muttered."You'll be fine. Ladies first," he held out his hand to usher her forward.She could feel several eyes on them. She gritted her teeth and walked out with her head held high. She

Faith watched her dad from across the table. His arms were folded and he looked positively angry.Devlin was seated beside her, also facing her father. He had one hand on the table and sported an easy smile.Her dad had all but dragged her out of the car and demanded that Devlin do the same. He'd come down without a fight which Faith was grateful for."What are you doing here, Dad? You didn't tell me you were coming?""How would I have told you when you haven't been picking up my calls for days?"She blushed and kept her head down. Devlin gave her a surprised look. She ignored him."I was planning to call you tomorrow.""Really? Somehow I don't believe it.""But how come you're here Dad? What about work?""I took a break. This is a dire situation. Your mother was going to come as well but Mrs Wilkins wouldn't give her the day off.""You didn't have to come.""Of course I did! I met you with your mouth almost glued to his!""Dad!" They hadn't even kissed her when he interrupted. She ke

"I'm not going to let your dad sleep in some horrid motel," Devlin answered.Faith shot him a grateful look. She didn't want her father sleeping at that motel. From what she'd seen passing by, it looked run down and horrible."What is this? Where are we?" Her father asked, finally looking out the window and spotting the larger-than-life hotel building."You'll be staying here tonight," Devlin answered."Staying where?" He asked, still confused."It's a hotel, Dad. You'll stay at this hotel instead.""Like hell I would!" He exclaimed. "Turn this car around right this moment. Do you know how much it would cost to sleep at a place like this?""Don't worry about that, Dad.""No way! Take me back right now."Devlin pulled the key out of the ignition. He stepped out and circled to Faith's side. He opened the door. "My lady?" He offered her his hand.She took the offered hand with a bemused look. "What was he up to now?""Let's go in. If your dad isn't going to come in then we can get a room

Faith was angry with herself. She'd made a stupid, spontaneous decision yesterday and then acted on it.Who kisses a guy who just clearly stated that he didn't intend to ever have a serious relationship; or any sort of relationship really, with you?She'd been face-palming herself since she returned to her room last night. Even worse was the fact that she'd committed to spending time with him today.Even worse was the amount of time she'd spent this morning picking out an outfit and putting on her makeup because she knew she would be seeing him."Your lack of self-pride is astonishing," she muttered to herself. She'd never been this way with any man.She might not be the hottest girl in the world but she'd had her own share of love interests. She'd never been in this position before.A part of her resented Devlin for making her feel this way. The problem was the ever-screaming, super-loud part of her that liked him with such intensity.As long as that part of her refused to relent, sh

"You're the only woman for me," Faith repeated in her head as the plane landed."You're the only woman for me," she thought as they checked out."You're the only woman for me," she remembered as Casiuss surprisingly appeared to ferry them."You're the only woman for me," she muttered as they arrived at the hotel.What the h*ll was that supposed to mean? Just a day ago, he'd insisted that there would never be anything between them.Damn him! Faith thought. It was like he was messing with her feelings on purpose. She wouldn't let that continue. If they were here to have fun, then have fun she would! She was resolute.They arrived at a hotel. "This is where we'll be staying," he informed her."That's okay." It was more than okay. It was one of those big, expensive hotels like he put her father in.Someone came immediately to take their bags from the car. Apparently, he would deliver it to their rooms. How nice it was to be rich. Meanwhile, Casiuss waved goodbye to them and drove off.Dev

"You own the restaurant?" She rationalized. "But why would the hotel let you own their restaurant?"The woman turned back to Devlin. "What room are you staying in, sir? The usual?""No. I'm in the double suite on the third floor.""We can arrange for you to move immediately, sir. Your usual suite is ready for you.""No, that's fine. I'll stay where I am now.""Alright, sir. I'll send the maid now to clean it up."He smiled at her. "Emma, it's clean enough. Don't worry about me. I'm fine." "Alright, sir. Just call me if you need anything else." She bowed and left."Wait, are you telling me that you own this entire hotel!?""I'm not telling you anything. I haven't even said a word.""Err...are you ready to order yet?" The waiter asked nervously."We've not had time to look at the menu. Give us a few minutes and come back, okay?" Devlin ordered. He nodded and hurried away, relief apparent on his face. "So?" Faith demanded."So...I may own this hotel?" He grinned."You're kidding!""You

"Dev! Get out!" Faith yelled. "Out! Out!" Sheila yelled too, determinedly pushing Devlin out of the room. "You shouldn't be here. Don't you know that it's a bad omen to see the bride before the wedding?"Devlin groaned. "Come on! I don't believe in superstitions. Can I just see my lovely wife?""She's not your wife yet, mister. Not until the ceremony is complete. Plus, you saw her last night. You too idiots slept in the same bed. I don't understand why you can't stay apart for even a second." She got him out the door and slammed it shut in his face."Done," she declared, dusting off her hands and returning to Faith. There was a short knock at the door and it opened again.Sheila turned around in exasperation. "Devlin, if I have to tell you one more time--"But it wasn't Devlin who stepped in. Adele squealed and rushed over to Faith, pulling her into a hug. "Oh my gosh, honey, congratulations!"Faith hugged her back. "Thank you, Adele. I'm so glad you could fly in.""Girl, I wouldn't

Immediately Faith saw Devlin walk through the door, her heart started beating faster, her palms started sweating and her breathing became heavy.She was scared of how their encounter was going to go, but damn did he look good. He was dressed in black cargo pants and a teal green shirt. His hair was rough and uncombed. He'd obviously come straight from bed.As soon as he entered, his eyes started scanning for her until he saw her and their eyes met. He pressed his lips together and started walking towards her, not breaking eye contact.From the corner of her eyes, she saw Adele pulling a reluctant Sheila away and into the house to give them some privacy.“Faith”, Devlin said softly as soon as he reached her.“Devlin”, she replied, breaking their eye contact now that he was close. It felt uncomfortable to continue to look him in the eyes like that. Also, she was worried her heart would go into overdrive at the sight of him.It wouldn't do to show him how much he was affecting her. Not w

As she drove to his house, she could not help but feel nervous. This would be the first time she was seeing him since they went on the road trip together and he had all but said he’d be fine with whatever direction their relationship took.She had been a friend when he desperately needed one but now that she had offered all the help she could as a friend, she could not continue with that. And even though she was the one who severed their relationship in the fist place, she loved him too much to be able to accept that.She drove like a madman, remembering ironically that she'd called Sheila that just earlier that day. She was mostly nervous and worried for him but underneath the nervousness, she was excited to see him again and maybe that had a part to play in why she drove so fast too.She arrived at his house several minutes earlier than she should have, jumped down and practically ran to the front door. She pressed on the door bell.Devlin himself answered the door, but the sight th

After they had breakfast and washed the dishes, they moved to the living room to hang out. The next few hours were full of light-headed conversations while munching on snacks.Sheila suddenly reached out and smacked Faith on the head. "Hey! What was that for?" Faith complained.“We’re going to a pool party. You should come with us”, Sheila said with wide, innocent eyes. But her amused smile gave her away.“Yeah, you should come. It’ll be a lot of fun”, Adele added.“I don’t know. You know pool parties aren’t really my scene”, Faith replied shaking her head. “You guys go have fun.”“Not without you, babe”, Sheila said.“Yes, pleeease”, Adele added pleadingly.“I don’t know”, Faith said. She was not really feeling it.“Come on, you had a lot of fun yesterday, right?” Adele asked her.“Yeah, but that’s different. That was you two. This time it’ll be a bunch of people I don’t know”, Faith replied trying to convince them.“It’ll be a lot of fun. And you won’t be with the bunch of people,

They got to the movies just in time to see a rom-com movie. Sheila wasn’t much for it but it was the only movie left that hadn’t started. They got some popcorn and drinks and went in to the cinema.It was always nice to spend time with Adele and Sheila, though they did not do it very often. A little into the movie, they started started talking to each other, making funny comments about the actors.One of the attendants came up to them and told them to keep quiet. Apparently, someone somewhere had complained they were disturbing everyone. They agreed to keep it down and the attendant walked back up t his post.A little later, they could not help it and just started talking again. Adele who did not seem too enthusiastic about the movie at first started shouting out her comments loud enough for the entire cinema to hear them.The attendant started for them once more but seemed to decide against it halfway and turned back. Maybe because everyone was laughing and no one was complaining. Sh

They ate the dinner prepared by Laura and once again, they offered to wash the dishes. Laura agreed after much persuasion. Once they finished with that, they went back to the living room where they struck up a conversation.“So Faith, how did you meet Devlin," his father asked.“Devlin reapplied to College. He needed a tutor and fortunately for him, I was available--the highest scoring entrant that year.”“Tutoring him could not have been easy. He must have been a pain in the ass. Pardon my language.”Faith smiled. “Oh, don't worry about it. And yes, he we incredibly insufferable. He’s lucky I was patient because I don’t know what he would have done without me.”“Well, thank you for staying by his side even when he’s such an idiot”, he said looking at her in a way that made her feel like he also understood what was going on. Was that something every parent had, she wondered.Devlin didn’t seem to understand since he was just laughing. He looked like he was really happy to be back home

Walking up to the house seemed to take forever. Now that they were here, Faith could not help but be nervous. She was nervous for him of course, but she was also nervous for herself, because she was going to meet the parents of the man she had been dating. Well, use to date.She had no reason to be nervous since they were not seeing each other anymore- for the moment- and she was only supporting him as a friend. Her body however had a mind if its own as she could not stop fidgeting.Eventually, they got to the door but nobody knocked. Devlin seemed to be a little scared so she fought down her own nervousness and knocked for him.A few seconds later, a man who looked exactly like Devlin, except older, opened the door. Immediately he saw who his visitor was, his eyes widened in surprise and a smile gradually formed on his face."D-Dad, its-its been a while", Devlin said looking down unable to meet his father's eyes."Devlin. What are you standing there for? Give your old man a hug."Wit

"So, tell me what happened", Faith said immediately."Well, I got in, and we talked and...""Oh no, my bad. First, what happened at the door?""This is going to be long, isn't it?""Well, the faster you answer, the sooner it'll be over"."How about I just give you a detailed summary of what happened?""Ok, alright." "When I rang the doorbell and she opened up, she was of course surprised to see me. I couldn't tell if she was scared because she sent the letter or was just still angry. Either way, I was still to blame"."She asked me what I was doing there and I told her I just came to talk. Of course, she replied that I was a few years too late and I did not have any right to come into her home after all that time.""Then I remembered what you said about speaking from my heart and I just told her, "I know that I ran away, but I loved your daughter. And it's because I loved her so much, that I risked coming all this way and getting turned back to get a chance to make things right.""By

Two days later, Faith and Devlin were in her car on their way to Isabella's parent's house. They chose her car since it wasn't as flashy as his and conveyed at least a bit of humility.They had left very early in the morning. He had to drive to her house first since she insisted they take her car. He arrived to meet her ready, so they started the journey without him having to enter her apartment.It had been a very silent trip. He was terrified of what he was on his way to do. She didn't quite know what to say to him, so they spent their time doing separate things, her on her phone and he pretending to be focused on driving.After a while, he stopped the car on the side of the road and said to her, "Would you please take over driving. My hands can't seem to stop shaking"."Of course", she replied at once. She then immediately came out of the vehicle and switched seats with him.Once they were back on the road, he turned to her, "I don't even know what I'll say, how to start. I just te
