Chapter 75

Mia

I wasn't sure how long I sat in Scott's arms, but I knew I didn't want to leave. Not when my life was falling apart all around me.

My mother had called several times but ignored her calls.

I was not in the mood to be yelled at or insulted or talked down on.

My eyes travelled up to look at Scott; he was staring at me with softness in his eyes.

“I'm sorry again for calling you. Stacey had to rush somewhere. I didn't want to disturb her.” I whispered, unsure of what to do with

    Chapter 76 Scott My heart was beating harder than it ever had. She tasted like wine and her. She broke the kiss. “I don't understand…” I’m in love with you t..." before I could finish my words, the door suddenly opened and Stacey walked in; behind her was Gerald. “What the hell is he doing here?” “What are you doing here, Scott?” Stacey asked, then glanced at Mia. “Are you okay? I’m sorry. It took longer than I thought.” “I'm, yeah," Mia said. I was still glaring daggers at him. “Mia.” He ran up to her like a lost puppy. “Are you okay?” “I'm fine, Gerald. Thank you, but this is really a bad time.” “I'm sorry. I heard about what happened in the blogs.” “It's just a misunderstanding… Please, I'd really love to talk, but I'm swamped right now. Can we talk some other time?" “Of course, but I'm here for you if you need anything.” “Thank you, Gerald.” “Of course. Anything for you.” He said thank you and glanced at me briefly. My anger faded when I remembered that Mia ha

My eyes travelled up to look at Scott; he was staring at me with softness in his eyes. “I'm sorry again for calling you. Stacey had to rush somewhere. I didn't want to disturb her.” I whispered, unsure of what to do with myself. “Stop apologizing for calling me, Mia.” Scott brushed his thumb across my cheek. “You don't have to go through everything alone.” I looked away before I did something stupid, like kiss him. “Still, I shouldn't have called you.” “Would you rather I left you crying by yourself?” “No.” “Then stop it.” I let out a small laugh, and he smiled like he'd just won something. God, I hated how easily he could do that. I shifted away from him, wiping my face with the sleeves of my shirt. M

    Chapter 74 Scott “How is Mia taking this whole thing, anyway?” Coach Disick asked the next day. "She's upset, but she has a plan.” “A plan? I told you to do anything…” "You know there's no stopping Mia, especially since this affects her too.” Coach sighed. “This is bad. Does she have any proof?” "She says she does, but who knows with Zara?" "You used to date, right?” “Noooo. It was a one-night stand. She wanted more. I didn't.” “Call her. Let her know you want to speak with her.” “If you're suggesting I sleep with her, the answer is no. She's crazy.” “Don't be ridiculous. You won't be sleeping with her, but you will use the information she has against her.” “I don't understand.” I frowned. Coach nodded. “I'll tell you. Just call her.” “I have to be honest, I didn't expect you to call me.” Zara said. We were both seated in my apartment. “So soon at least.” She was wearing denim shorts and a poncho. I leaned back on the couch, keeping my expression neutral.

    Chapter 73 MIa “... Can't believe they were fake dating all along.” “I knew she wasn't good enough for him.” “And you are…” “Hey, shut the fuck up you two bimbos!” Stacey snapped at the grid behind me; they had been gossiping about me. “You okay?” She asked, snatching my hoodie off my head. “No. I'm not. I'm a fucking laughing stock. I'm definitely losing my job.” I said, covering my face with my hand. “What did I say about looking guilty?” I sighed and sat tall. Just then, the professor walked in, and for the next hour, all I did was try to focus, which was very hard since everyone was talking about the blog post. Classes finally ended, and I practically bolted out of there, my mind on Zara. We were meant at exactly 10am at the Journalist Club area. I sat in wait. Zara was thirty minutes late, as she always was with everything. I couldn't even pretend to think it was a deliberate act. When we were friends in high school, she'd also had a terrible habit of being late. I

    Chapter 72 Scott I paced my living room, anger boiling in my blood. Gerald was the Uber that was coming to pick her up? I scoffed. Of course he was. That explained why she wanted me to go back inside so bad. I ran my hand down my face, trying to ignore the anger I felt. “We aren't even friends anymore.” Her voice echoed in my head. The worst part of this entire thing was it was my fault. An image of Gerald kissing her crossed my mind, and I almost punched a wall. I paced my living room, anger boiling in my blood.

    Chapter 71 Mia My head pounded. I felt slightly dizzy. “Are you okay?” "Yeah, of course I'm fine.” “Are you sure?” Scott came closer. His scent wafters into my nose. The familiar smell left me in a state I didn't appreciate. I stepped back as he came closer, and he stopped, leaving an awkward amount of space between. Tension between us rose in... I took a deep breath. I wasn't going to allow myself to fall for it. Scott made his choice, and as much as I hated to admit it, it hurt my pride, and I didn't need this. “Should I take you home?” He questioned after a long period of silence that seemed to claw at us. “No, thanks. I'll just call an Uber.” I said with a tired sigh. “Are you sure about that?” “Yeah. We will figure this out tomorrow, plus I need a response article before speculations get out of hand.” “Is Zara's platform that big?” “Technically, she has over a million followers. Just a couple more followers, less than me. This story will probably push her forward.”
