Fiona’s POVThe Fab FOUR were good friends for many reasons.We grew up together, we were all musically talented and we were all born in the same week.It sounds absolutely insane that four people born in the same week would find each other and become so close. Somehow we did it. Our birthday week was in mere days and I was so excited. I had never had so much money to spend on outfits for our weekly activities. Usually I would have saved up for months and still felt like I didn’t have enough.This year I had Mitt who was willing to pay for whatever.“Are you sure you can’t come to anything?” I asked.“I want you to enjoy your birthday week without some older guy ruining it. I know your friend wouldn't be thrilled about me. I’ll meet them another time, okay?”“Fine.” I sighed. “But you use that card to your heart’s content.” Mitt smiled as he pulled me to him and kissed me. “I want the credit card company to call me because the amount spent is so egregious.”I giggled. “I’m not sure
Olivia’s POVI kind of hated my birthday.So much food surrounded birthdays. Cake and ice cream and fancy birthday dinners. It was repulsive. I didn’t know if it was anxiety and the thought of food, but I was absolutely sick to my stomach leading up to the birthday week. I wasn’t even throwing up on purpose anymore. I had told Riley I had a stomach bug, even though I wasn’t sure if it was true. It at least allowed me to throw up without turning on the shower and limited my food intake. I was currently eating soup and crackers. A perfectly small meal. I was feeling good. I wanted to look perfect in all of my birthday outfits. “Are you sure we should actually do this whole birthday weekend thing?” Riley asked. “Yes of course we should. It’s tradition for the Fab FOUR, you know?”“Yeah, but you’re clearly sick. You should go to a doctor.”“I will after birthday week babe. This isn’t only important to me, it's important to the other girls too. I can’t let them down.”“Fine, but you ha
Uma’s POVI was so excited for my birthday this year!I actually got to spend it with my siblings! They would celebrate me and I would feel less alone. I never broadcasted how lonely I tended to feel on my birthday. It just reminded me that my dad was still nowhere to be found in my life. This year I felt like at least a piece of him was. Maybe I had to let go of the hope that he would ever be in my life. I had to not need him. --“Uma, I’m so glad you came.” Cassius smiled as I sat down. “I will decide later if I’m glad,” I laughed. “What’s up?”He pushed a cup towards me and I grasped it before taking a sip. My favorite.“I just…I don’t like how things ended between us,” Cassius muttered. “I think we both were not very good to each other.”“I agree,” I nodded. “I think our personalities are too big to be squished into one relationship. We’re both going to do amazing things.”“I wish we could have done them together.”“Me too, but I don’t think it’s possible, you know?”“I um stil
Raquel’s POVI was going to throw up.Or die.Why had I lied and dug myself into a hole and then dragged Uma in with me? Why couldn’t things be simple? Why was I so goddamn scared to tell everyone that I was in love with Uma and she loved me back? I wish I didn't care so much what other people thought of me, especially my parents. I would continue to be unhappy to appease them and that would eventually destroy me. I had to do something about it.But not this week. It was birthday week for me and the girls. I had to at least get through it with no drama. Of course that required me coming out to yet another Leonidas. That whole family was going to know I was a lesbian befor anyone else did.I nervously knocked on Zach's door.He opened the door and smiled. “Hey Raquel. Uma mentioned that you’d be coming over. Come in.”“Thank you so much,” I stepped inside and he led me to the living room. I sat down stiffly and Zach sat across from me. “So…what’s up?”“Um…I need your help…well both U
Fiona’s POVI looked so good!Mitt had bought me an amazing dress for the night of the party. It was tight and magenta. It dipped low in the back and had a slit that had four rows of diamonds connecting the slit. I felt luxurious and beautiful.“Wow you are stunning,” Mitt smiled when I stepped out of the bathroom. “You are a vision.”“You think?” I smiled happily. “I know so. I wish I could be there with you tonight.”“You can be,” “No, I can’t. Tonight is about you and your friends. Besides partying with people like twenty years younger than me doesn’t sound very fun.”“I guess I understand that. Will you at least wait up for me? Or is it going to be past your bedtime?” I teased. “I’ll have some coffee and stay up for you.” He kissed me. “You should get going. Have fun.”“I love you Mitt.”“I love you too, Fiona. You’re my star.”--As always, our party was at Uma’s mom’s mansion. It looked magnificent! “Hello?” I called. “Upstairs!” Uma called back.I headed up and saw the gi
Mitt’s POVI had a dark secret I was keeping from Fiona.I didn’t know how to tell her, but I knew it would put some serious strain on our relationship. This was not at all something I had ever planned on happening. It was my own fault that I was lonely, I knew that. I had lived my life in a way that isolated the people I loved. I was just never good about sticking around and being good to people. I was focused on making money.And then I found myself with an insane amount of money and yet no one to share it with. I didn’t exactly need a girlfriend, but I wanted a woman that I could at least talk to. Someone pretty to share what was going on in my life. And then I found Fiona.She was so hesitant at first and I understood why. I was much older than her and she probably thought I was some creep. I started falling in love with her without even realizing it. It happened so quickly. But I knew she could never love me back. I was way too old and damaged. There were better, younger men f
Fiona’s POVI needed my friends to meet Mitt.I just wanted to rip the band-aid off. Who cares if he’s older? Who cares if this started off as a sugar daddy situation? All that mattered now was that he loved me and I loved him. “What about Friday night?”“I don’t know.”“Mitt!” I whined. “Do you not want to meet my friends, is that it? You can tell me if that’s the case.”“Fine, I don’t want to meet your friends.”“They’re gonna start thinking I made you up and that I robbed a bank or something.”“I just know it won’t go over well,” Mitt sighed. “I’m just sure of it, trust me Fiona.”“So what? They never get to meet you? I’ll always be a seventh wheel when my friends and I go out. Is it me? You’re ashamed of me or something?”“What? Of course not, Fiona. I love you.” He kissed me. “I could never be ashamed of you, my love. It’s me. I’m just worried your friends will lose respect for you for being with a guy like me.”“A handsome older man who is very rich? Come on, I’ve known the gi
Fiona’s POVZora had been strange to me.Meeting Mitt definitely made her see me differently. I didn’t think she’d be so judgy with me, honestly. I thought we were friends now. “I’m so excited to meet Mitt on Friday!” Uma smiled as she sat down in Hendrix’s lap.Olivia and Riley had invited us over to celebrate him getting out of the hospital. I still wasn’t sure what had happened, but I was glad he was okay. “I’m excited too!” I smiled. “Zora already met him.”“I sure did,” Zora muttered. “Well, what was he like?” Uma pressed. “Was he super hot?”“You wouldn't think so.”“Why not?” I asked. “You don’t think Mitt is hot?”“I like girls, what the hell do I know?”“What?” Uma asked. “Did you just come out to us?” Raquel asked, almost in alarm. “Just like that?”“I didn’t mean to, but it’s true. Zach and Fiona know.”“Why does no one tell me anything?” Uma asked. “But that’s kickass, good for you sis. I can see why it didn’t work out with Tim.”“So you’re not bisexual?” Raquel asked.
