“ 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!" Cole yelled on top of his lungs.

“ So? What do you want from us?" Aaliyah rudely asked?

“ Young lady watch your tongue or---

“ Or what? You hit her? Beat her ass? Go ahead then." Willow chipped in.

“ Look, I just came for your consent, Avery would have been here as well but

“ She chose work over us." Aaliyah shrugged.

“ No, don't say that. Your mom loves you. It's just that she has a weird way of showing it. She does care about you girls." Cole added.

“ Cole, you can get married to her any day, anytime and anywhere. We ain't gonna be there anyways. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding." Willow said, walking to the door.

“ She's your mother for crying out loud!" Cole said frustrated.

“ No doubt, she gave birth to us, that's all she did. Our dad took care of me when Aaliyah was born...he took care of her for 9 months, then he left. I was the one who raised her. I learnt how to care for a baby when I was almost 4 years old. Where was she? She was travelling, going on trips forgetting she had kids and now she wants us to be there for her? That's not how it works, Cole. As I said, happy married life." Willow fumed.

“ She still takes care of your needs, how heartless can you be?" Cole fumed.

“ Heartless? Did you just say heartless? Ever grown up without experiencing motherly love? The only mom I've ever known was Willow, the funny part was that we never had a nanny. It's been only us since then and will be only us till forever. We may need her money now but someday we won't. So Cole, have a blissful marriage. We wish you the best." Aaliyah sobbed as her sister hugged her.

“ Not another word Cole, just leave." Willow pointed to the door as he walked out.

“ Thank you Willow, I love you," Aaliyah murmured.

“ I love you too Aaliyah baby." she hugged her tight.

“ You've got a date to prepare for Willow, " Aaliyah reminded her sister.

“ You're not thinking of bailing, are you? Aaliyah raised her eyebrows.

“ I can't leave you home alone, you need company." Willow tried to reason.

“ Oh, I'm going out to the mall and movies with Kiera, so you have a date to prepare for. Willow, please don't blow this up. You've liked him since forever, now he's here to prove it to him." Aaliyah probed.

“Fine, I will and you know I love you right?" she smiled at her as Mila entered.

“ I love you too, see you after you get back." she smiled walking to her room.

“ What happened?" Mila asked, walking with her friend to her room. She had known Aaliyah and Willow for years now, they were like sisters she never had.

“ Cole was here." she sighed sitting on her bed.

“ What did he want?" Mila took a bite from a sneakers bar she took from Willow's stash.

“ For us to come to he and Avery's wedding," she said tight-lipped.

“She's getting married this time around?" Mila asked, perplexed.

“ We told him to tell her we weren't going, and that's final." Willow paced up and down.

“What time is your date with Neo?" Mila changed the topic, making Willow smile.

“ It's 8:30 pm." she blushed.

“ It's 6:30 pm, Willow, you have just two hours to get ready for the date night," Mila explained.

“ Shit!" she exclaimed, raiding her closet.

“ Mila, Willow I'm off to the mall with Kiera," Aaliyah screamed.

“ Stay safe Kiddo, we love you!" Mila responded.

“ I will, Willow, I will need details from the date night," she added as they burst into laughter.

Neo stood at the bottom of the staircase waiting for Willow to get down. His hands were sweaty and he was nervous as hell.

Deep breaths Neo, deep breaths.

His breath hitched as he saw her descend the staircase. She wore a little black dress, with a golden belt. Her long, black, thick hair was let down her back. She wore bold red lipstick and her make up, oh my gosh. She looked stunning.

He fell in love with her deeply with each step she took descending the stairs without breaking eye contact.

“ Hey," he took her hand and kissed it.

“ Hi," she smiled.

“ You look ravishing." he complimented.

“ Thanks, that was all Mila's work." she acknowledged her best friend.

“ You guys have fun, I'd be here waiting for you with Raine," she said as Raine walked in smiling at the duo.

“ We will, and don't forget to lock the door," Neo added as they stepped out.

“ We won't, bye." she waved at them as he drove off.

“ Austin came to my house today," Raine said as Mila locked the door.

“ He what? What did he want this time around?" she sat beside her taking a slice of pizza Raine had come along with.

“ Money, of course, his broke ass needs my money to take care of his whore." she said as Mila's eyes grew to the size of saucers.

“ He what!?" she exclaimed disbelievingly.

“ Yhup,” Raine responded to her friend's reaction.

What a douche!”

    EpilogueOne 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

    " 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
