“ Mila, wait up!” Hayes called behind her. She really wanted to run and at the same time didn’t want him to know she was avoiding him after the bonfire incidence.He hugged her shoulders once he got closer to her. She was tired of hiding her feelings from him. What if I gave it a shot? If it didn’t work at least I tried. she thought to herself.“ What’s up? What have you been up to lately?” he asked. “ Nothing much, just class and dance lessons,” she shrugged.“ How’s basketball coming up? And how’s Maryse?” she asked a two in one question. It had been long she saw Maryse and she missed her too.“ Basketball is coming up good, we have a game this Friday and I want you to be there. There would be a surprise for you,” “ Trying to blackmail me Miller?” she nudged his rock hard arbs. “ No, but I’m seeing you right?” he asked.“ Fine, what time?” “ It’s at 5pm,” he replied. She had dance rehearsal at 4-5pm, after her rehearsal she could pass by the basketball court to watch is game. S
The week had gone by quickly and it was time for the basket ball match. Willow was still around and hadn’t yet left. Turned out her school was on break and she decided to come see her friend. Raine was currently caught up with some stuff and couldn’t come around, some stuff being Rémy was around and she wanted to spend some quality time with him.Mimi and Maryse were around but hadn’t seen Mila yet because Hayes wanted it to be a surprise. They were currently lodging in one of their apartments which wasn’t far from campus. “ You’ve got to look cute, it’s a basketball game and all but look cute for him,” Willow added damaging through her closet with the help of Phebe. “ It’s just a game, why do I have to look cute?” she groaned lying on her bed.“ Because, both of you are a bunch of hard headed people who don’t want to confess their feelings to each other even though you clearly like each other,” Phebe added throwing her hands in the air for a dramatic effect.Hayes had dropped off
Niel stood smiled at his younger brother. He was so not convinced that his careless parents could take care of him, instead he convinced them to let him take care of the child while they go about their lives, since he was now running the company and all.They didn’t hesitate to agree to his condition and allowed Christian come live with Niel. Christian was a bubbly and loving kid. He couldn’t love him any less.“ Are you ready champ?” Niel asked carrying him.“ Yes,” he grinned excited as they descended the stairs. He had hired a nanny to take care of Christian while he was away. Christian’s school was just on the way to Niel’s workplace so on days he was less busy, he dropped him off before heading off to work. “ I know, but I’d come see you in school soon. I even have to see Mila as well. It’s been a while we last met or saw each other,” Raine said to Rémy. His vacationing at home was over and he had to come back to campus.He hadn’t heard from Hayes after his game though he hear
Phebe had been acting different since se got back from Phoenix. She had been refusing to tell what had happened between herself and Niel no matter how hard Mila tried to get it out of her. She just wasn’t ready to speak.Mila spent her weekends with Vanilla before she left for California. She was beyond pissed at Hayes for what he did. She even thought he would come see Vanilla after she left his apartment but nothing, no calls, no text and no nothing. She knew the girl was affected but tried her best to mask it.Rémy came around to keep them company before she left for home. “ You know sulking won’t help in this matter Phebs, what the hell did Niel do?! And I am not asking nicely this time. I did at first but you weren’t having it so no niceness here,” Mila fumed.“ Urgh fine! You know you can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Nothing happened, but it’s just that I think I like Niel way more than he does, from the way he was behaving and all,” she sighed.“ How was he behaving?” she a
“ Babe is everything alright?” Aaliyah asked Corey joining him on her bed. He looked fine before she went downstairs to get them something to eat so how come his demeanor had changed all of a sudden?“ I’m fine,” he murmured rubbing his face with his palm. He was not okay but didn’t want to talk about it.She set the food on the table close to her and sat in between his legs taking his hands into hers.“ You know you can talk to me right?” she softly asked. He nodded to her question.“ Then what is going on?” she asked again. He didn't want to tell her his family was facing some issues financially and it was affecting him. It was a scandal but his family had a way of keeping it from the press, they didn't want it blowing out of proportion.“ It's just some family issues, but don't worry your head about it, I will be fine,” he assured. “ Umm, okay if you say so, can we eat now?” she quietly asked.“ Babe, don't be like this come on. I promise I would be fine,” he tried cheering her u
“ No! Get out, Kaia!” Hayes pointed at the door. She had come to his house claiming she had missed her daughter and wanted to see her. There was no way he was allowing that. He wasn't selfish but Kaia in question made it crystal clear that she didn't want anything to do with Maryse. Why now?“ She's my daughter too Hayes, remember that,” she tried to guilt trip.“ No, she's not, you gave birth to her and swore never to have anything to do with her again, remember? Gia’s my witness to this,” he challenged.“ And you think my stupid sister would agree to support this if it goes to court? You must be silly, very silly.” “ Remember Gia has a conscience and she's not my only witness,” Hayes argued as Mila walked in on them.“ So babe, I would call you later,” she trailed her finger down his chest as Mila burst out laughing.“ What's funny bitch?!”“ You Kaia, you. You're just being a pathetic hoe. I slept over bitch! So this singular act of yours is just pathetic,” she laughed harder maki
“ No, we aren’t,” Mila answered Willow’s question.“ Wait, what do you mean no? You spent the night at his house, so why no?” Phebe asked earning a glare from Mila. Raine and Willow didn’t know she had spent her night at Hayes house and Phebe just blurted it out.Way to go Phebs.“ Wait you what? When were we going to know about this new development?” Raine asked.“ Probably, when I come down to Cali.” she replied.“ You’re coming home?” Raine asked again.“ Yeah, it was supposed to be a surprise but Phebe decided to ruin it. I'm coming down for Maryse's first birthday party and to see you girls. I missed you and it's been a while since I last heard from Khalil and Jax,” she said.“ Oh Jax and Khalil aren't in town, they've been sent on an exchange program to France,” Willow explained.“ That's fine. See you both tomorrow,” she bid before ending the call.“So… what’s up with both of you? Are you sure you both aren’t a couple?” Phebs asked raising her eyebrows.“ No, it was a spark of
Mila stood back with her friends watching Kaia trying to find with her daughter but, Maryse wasn't having it. She kept running to her dad and grandma.Eventually, she stopped trying. She had gotten a couple of pictures of both of them and she was satisfied with that. That was the main reason she decided to come home.“ Isn't she ashamed of herself?” Raine asked out of the blue.“ Nope, the Kaia I know is not ashamed of anything. She knows what she wants and goes after it without hesitation.” Mila explained as Kaia walked happily out of the party. She was not planning on staying for long. She had more important things to take care of than wasting it on a stupid birthday party.“ Enough about Kaia, what's new with you and Hayes? Is the Mayes ship sailing or sinking?” Willow asked. It was two more weeks before her wedding and she couldn't be any more excited than she already was.If someone had told her she would be getting married at 23, she wouldn't have believed but here she was to be
