LOGINLILA After a few days of thinking, I finally decided to apply for the maid job. I went back to the flower shop again. It might have been a little early, but that didn’t matter to me. I needed something stable, something close to home so I could check on Mom easily. The walk there gave me time to think. My heart felt a little lighter than before, but I was still nervous. When I arrived, the shop owner was serving a customer. She turned to me and smiled warmly. After she finished with the customer, she approached me, wiping her hands on her apron. “It’s good to see you back here,” she said kindly. “How is it? Does the lily I picked for you look alive in your room?” “Yes, I really love it,” I replied, smiling a little. “The flowers brightened up my room so much. Thank you again for choosing them for me.” She waved her hand. “No need to thank me, dear. Flowers have a way of making everything feel better. So, what brings you back today? Looking for more?” I took a deep breath. “Act
LILA We were still lying on my bed, sweating all over our bodies and breathing heavily. The room felt warmer than usual. Miles had one arm under my head, his other hand resting lazily on my soft belly. I stared at the ceiling, my heart still racing from everything we just did. “Miles, can I ask you something?” I said quietly. He turned to me, kissed my cheek gently, and smiled. “Yeah, sure. What’s bothering you, Lila?” I didn’t look at him right away. “Have you guys ever done this before?” “Did what?” Miles asked, sounding curious. “The same thing the four of us did.” Miles turned his head back toward the ceiling for a moment, thinking. “Honestly, this is our first time doing this. I know it sounds impossible, like a lie, but it’s true. Before we met you, Jax was just busy with basketball and he was surrounded by girls. You know the rumors. And Theo is addicted to games and anything computer related. I’ve never heard of him having a girlfriend, but I found a lot of hot girls
LILAAfter our conversation at the cafe, they drove me home. Theo was behind the wheel, Jax beside him in the front. Angela, Miles, and I sat in the back, with Miles in the middle. It felt quite awkward, especially when I saw Angela’s hand resting on Miles’ thigh while she talked about something from their past. I just glanced out the window, wanting to get out of the car as fast as possible.“I’m staying at your house, okay?” Angela asked Miles suddenly.I glanced back to see his answer. Miles nodded. “Yeah, of course.”I sighed and looked out the window again. Miles noticed. He leaned in close, his breath warm against my ear. “What’s wrong?”I gasped softly when I felt his hand already on my thigh. I turned to him. “Don’t you want to stay at my house?”I don’t know why I said that, but I couldn’t imagine what Angela would do to Miles if he went with her.Miles smiled and kissed my cheek. “That’s a great idea.”When we got home, Miles came downstairs with me, confusing Jax, Theo, and
LILA After a few days of thinking, I finally decided to apply to be a maid at the flower shop owner’s daughter’s place. It felt like a practical choice. Close to home, decent pay, and I could check on Mom easily. I met the guys at a small coffee shop near my house. They were already there when I arrived, looking worried. Jax pulled out a chair for me. “So, you really decided on that maid job?” “Yeah,” I said, sitting down. “I think it’s the right move for now.” Theo leaned forward, stirring his coffee. “Are you sure? You don’t even know her.” “Yeah, you don’t know who they are,” Miles added. “But if you’re at Theo's brother’s restaurant, we can keep an eye on you, so you don’t have to worry.” I smiled a little. “Aish, you guys aren’t my bodyguards, and I’m not a kid anymore. Besides, their house isn’t far from mine, so it’s better because I can check on my mom anytime.” “Are you really sure?” Miles asked, his eyes soft. “Yeah, I’m sure. Come on, don’t worry too much. I can ta
LILA I was sitting at my desk, staring at my laptop screen but not really seeing anything. My fingers hovered over the keys, but my mind was far away. Mom suddenly appeared in the doorway, then stepped into my room and sat on the edge of my bed. “I’ve been seeing you only at home for a few days now,” she said gently. “Did something happen? You usually leave early and come home late because of work. Are you hiding something from me?” I turned my chair to face her, my heart beating faster. “Oh, about that…” I moved closer and sat beside her on the bed, taking her hands in mine. “I’m sorry I kept it from you, Mom. I just didn’t want you to be disappointed. But I… I’ve decided not to continue my studies.” Mom’s eyes widened. “What? What’s wrong, Lila? Did something happen? Did someone hurt you on campus?” “No, Mom, it’s nothing like that,” I said quickly, squeezing her hands. “I just thought if I continued my studies without a secure job, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy my life. So I dec
JAX We finally pulled up to the dorm after the long drive. Returning with Theo and Miles felt like it hadn’t been like this in ages. The three of us together again, no drama hanging over us for a moment. Theo and Miles went in first, laughing about something from the villa. I stayed in the car a little longer, staring at my phone. Then it rang. My dad. I answered, trying to sound normal. “Hey, Dad.” “Where are you?” His tone was sharp right away. “Dorm. What’s up, Dad?” “Dorm? I think you just got there. Where were you last night? You missed your practice yesterday,” he said, voice getting harder. “I—” “That’s enough, Jax! You can have fun with your girls, but not to the point of ruining your future. Think carefully. You could lose everything you’ve built for so long, your dreams, your career. If this is still about that cleaning girl, I’ll make you regret it.” Before I could say anything, he hung up. The silence in the car felt heavy. I sat there for a second, gripping the
LILA It was getting late. The villa was quiet except for the low hum of the air conditioner. There were only three rooms, and I didn’t really want to decide where I’d sleep. Jax, Theo, and Miles were all fighting over who would sleep with me. I just laughed at their antics, sitting on the couch
LILA “That’s too much I think,” Miles said when Angela suggested a particularly bold dare. “Why? There’s no one here other than us, and I’m sure you’ve done it often, right Lila?” Angela said, her eyes glancing at me, making me unable to say anything. “After all, this is just a game. If he do
LILA Night came faster than I imagined. We had so much fun by the pool. Theo played his guitar while singing softly with Jax joining in. Their voices mixed together in a relaxed, warm way that made the whole evening feel special. Miles was busy grilling meat for dinner. Seeing the three of them
LILA I left Miles’ room quietly, straightening my clothes as I walked down the hallway. My cheeks were still warm, my body still tingling from the way he had touched me. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before going back downstairs. But as I reached the top of the stairs, I bumped stra
