ViaCan I rely on Lizzie and Stephanie?I do believe in Lizzie, but Stephanie? Particularly considering how effortlessly she rose to the position of cheer captain and how she's been exceptionally close to Justin?I don't really care about Justin, but if she really is my buddy, she ought to tell me something, if nothing else."Stephanie is closed off, whereas Lizzie is wide open. No. It seems like I can't trust her," I declare."No, and I wasn't planning on telling them about my relationship with them anyways," she nods as I say this."Good, that's the safest route to go," she says firmly.As soon as she says that, my phone starts ringing nonstop."That must be my boyfriend noticing that I'm not at school, I suppose," I mutter as I check the alerts on my phone after turning it on.As predicted, I notice that the notification has been read. "The Four Musketeers' twelve unread messages," I grin foolishly when I get the notification.I start reading the texts right away.Sebastian Beaumon
ViaYes, the Thursday night supper Sebastian described. All I knew was that it wouldn't be this Sunday. That means all I have to do is package up the meals I'm preparing now for tomorrow.Me: Would you like to go out to supper today, and tomorrow I can spend time with you and Lance?Me: Oh my goodness, I miss you. Please arrive as soon as possible."Georgia, what does one wear to a dinner date?" I turn to face her and ask.After she's done adding the vegetables to the baking dish, she looks up at me. "Well, it depends. Where are you going?" As she slides the baking dish into the oven, she asks."I have no idea, and I'm certain that none of them will inform me. They enjoy surprises a lot." She understands and nods when I say this."After that, just wear a classic black or red dress that is just the right amount of revealing, along with a basic yet timeless makeup style." I sigh when she says that."I don't own either of those types of dresses." She sighs at what I say."I'm beginning t
ViaIn the past three days, I have not had the sensation of Nathaniel's lips on mine, and I have missed him badly. He is complete in every way.While Georgia clears her throat, Lance drops his toy. This occurs just before our kiss begins to heat up."Sorry to break up the cute moment, but I have to get going, and I really want to hold Lance before I go," Georgia interrupts the conversation."Oh, you're correct. I apologise,” I say, feeling a little embarrassed at this moment.Nathaniel is the one who gave me Lance, and I make it my mission to send him to Georgia. "Georgia, this is Lance," I say as I give him on to another person.Her golden, straight hair immediately catches Lance's attention. "I'll be back; I have to wash his toy," Georgia announces, then turns to face me. "Can you show me to the kitchen, little star?" she asks.I glance at Georgia and Lance. Georgia nods, settling down on the bus in the visitor living area."Of course, baby." I grab Nathaniel's hand and intertwine o
Via"Good." she calls out again, then I see her turn to Alexander's house."That goes for you too, Alexander," she calls out while pointing in his direction.As I look over to Alexander's house, I notice him standing in the driveway of his house.We make eye contact for a quick second before I turn away from him with my face heating up. "Georgia," I whine, completely flustered.Jesus, Georgia, please just start driving away."Don't worry, Georgia. None of us are getting Via pregnant. I can guarantee you that," Alexander says as he begins walking over to me, Nathaniel, and Lance."Yet," Nathaniel mumbles under his breath, and I feel my face flush even more than before.I'm sure I look like a tomato again. Lord have mercy on me."Good, you both better keep your word and make sure the other two do too," she yells as she begins backing out of the driveway."They will, Georgia. Now go. You're going to miss your flight," I call out, and she looks at something within her car. Probably the ti
ViaHis pulse is racing, but he smiles and returns to playing with Grumpy Bear as he glances over at Sebastian.Approaching me, Sebastian plants a kiss on my cheek, one that is tender and soft. He’s not acting like himself; I know he’s only acting that way because Lance is here."What time is our reservation?" I ask no one specifically as Lance reaches for the Daydream Bear.After he manages to escape my grasp, he places himself between Alexander and me."In about an hour and a half, more or less," says Sebastian."And the place is about a thirty-minute drive," replies Alexander quietly while Lance gives him the Daydream Bear.Shrugging it off, I return my attention to what I was thinking about. "So I basically only have an hour to get ready?" I ask as Lance remains still in Alexander’s lap when he picks him up.With a sigh of relief, Sebastian replies, "No, you have 45 minutes to prepare. Given that we must deliver Lance to his sister's residence," says Alexander."Okay, everyone out
MaximilianSebastian enters the living room and scans his surroundings. "Where are—" He gestures all over the space. "Nathaniel and Alexander?""Nathaniel is changing Lance's diaper in the other room." I keep picking up the toys that Lance left strewn across the floor. "And Alexander is talking to someone out in the backyard."With a nod, Sebastian settles into the sofa. He taps on the couch's armrest and pauses. "Hey, um." He hesitates. "Never mind."His tapping grows louder as I pick up the plush toys, so I turn to face him. "You alright? This is not how you typically are." I finished gathering up all the toys."It's nothing, just drop it." He glances out into the backyard at Alexander, who, if I recall correctly, is now shouting something into his phone in Russian."I think he's talking to Declan," Sebastian says with a nod."Yeah." I turn my head away from Alexander's direction and return my attention to Sebastian. "Really, what's going on? You never provide me with canned respons
Maximilian"Okay, well when are you?" Though tougher than I intended, I didn't mind. Not even close."I don't know." I find that line quite annoying," he says.I was going to personally kick Sebastian in the ass, just to help Nathaniel and Alexander out. How on earth was he?"You have no idea! Do you have sex with someone? I was now really enraged. You do know that you can screw this up for us, don't you? For the benefit of all of us, not just you," I draw attention to the apparent.He gives me a backward glance. "Maximilian is someone I know. I know that, but what will happen to me if I don't play my cards correctly?" He holds back. "We are Maximilian. Our boat is the same as ours. If we mess up and lose our jobs, what will happen next?" I said nothing."Alexander can easily fail because he doesn't own any shares in his father's business, but he has his grandfather's business as a safety net." However, Nathaniel is ok because he is the only son in his family. Just two words and he's
Maximilian"We won't," Nathaniel says, holding back. "We will ensure that we do not. We'll make sure to take appropriate action to prevent her from becoming pregnant," he adds, giving him comfort.As we hear footsteps coming down the stairs, Christian exclaims, "Good. Now go make my sister happy," he says, picking up his coconut water can once again."We will," Sebastian offers comfort."Good," Christian nods his head and gets up from the chair.No, Sebastian, we're going to. She won't be satisfied until you call off your engagement to Nichole."Oh, and keep what I told you about Dean and his fiancée a secret from her. The plan is to keep everything under wraps until Thanksgiving," he remarks as he enters the living room.This was fantastic, because it meant that I now had three fucking secrets to keep, and I needed to find a means to divulge one of them in the near future.…Via "We're here," says Maximilian, putting the car in park."Are you serious? Already?" I adjust the upper po
