~Laurel~As soon as I cut the ribbons, claps and cheers gracefully filled the air."Congratulations Laurel!" Kaitlyn screamed in excitement as she lunged herself on me."Congrats, best friend." Liam said, as soon as Kaitlyn let go, coming round to pull me into a hug. I hugged him and then I hugged Wesley who wouldn't stop smiling at me."I'm proud of you.""Thanks." I said and quickly let go of him when I saw my mother."My baby!" She said and embraced me. "I'm proud of you. So so proud.""Thanks mom. I'm so happy I made all of you so proud.""You've always made me so proud, Laurel. Always."I greeted Liam's parents who also congratulated me and just then I saw Wesley's parents walking towards me. I wanted to save them the walk and so I got to them first."Congrats, Laurel." Damon Cooper said smilingly, as I shook hands with him.Beatrice Cooper, Wesley's mom hugged me. She was also like a mother to me. "Diamond collections? That's huge. Welcome to the team, Laurel.""Thanks Aunt Bett

~Laurel~"Get the hell away from me!" I yelled and yelped away from him, backing off till I hit my back against the wall.He threw the mask on the floor. "Yo--you're the anonymous donor?"He smirked. "What do you think?"He was the anonymous donor. Only Kurt would sit like a deserted and lonely child when he actually had everything that would make people fly around him like flies."What are you doing here? How on earth did you find me? It's you, isn't it? You're the one following me around. What do you want Kurt?""You.""What?""It's simple, Laurel. You." He moved closer but I changed location and stepped away from him. What exactly was this man saying? What on earth is wrong with him?"Listen here, I don't know what exactly is wrong with you. You didn't only threw me out of LAGS, insulted me, you took Mira away from me and now you're talking insane things?!" I breathe out, running my hand through my hair. "Just get the fuck out. I need Jason right now.""You mean your body guard?"I

~~Laurel~~It was eight in the evening so we decided to bake a fun cake. I had just gotten back from Vegas and Mia insisted that she wanted to bake a cake for me so I said I'll help her out. Pulling on a big hoodie over the pair of panties I was wearing, I pulled my hair up in a bun then put on a pair of flip-flops before walking out of my room to help Mia out in the kitchen.When I got there, she was already mixing the flour in a bowl so I stood beside her and watched as she kept on stirring the contents in a bowl with a mixer."You're so good at thi---" We heard the doorbell ring.She passed the bowl to me. "I'll get the door. You take care of this."W--what?Me?Take care of this?I stared at the bowl when Mia suddenly ran back inside."Lau-rel. Yo--you might wanna come see who's here."My heart started beating rapidly. And slowly, slowly, I walked to the door and I nearly fainted when I saw him."What are you doing here?"Kurt leaned on the door frame. "Aren't you going to invite

~Laurel~After launching the bikini collection, I traveled to France; modeled for Louis Vuitton before leaving for Mexico for a new shoot. During the two weeks, I had spent in Mexico, I kept on receiving flowers from an anonymous source. It felt strange because this same person kept on sending me the same favorite flowers every week and I couldn't help but wonder who it was. It felt awkwardly strange. Who on earth was it?The moment my plane landed in Los Angeles, I got a message from one of my exes, Marco Lorenzo, saying that he wanted to see me. We arranged and made plans to see each other and maybe have a little chitchat over dinner. One thing was for sure, if he was only going to talk about our past then I'll just walk out on him. I didn't do second chances.~"If it isn't the beautiful Laurel Hyde." Marco Lorenzo got up to his feet the moment he saw me and pulled me into his chest. I squirmed out and pushed him away."Thought you only wanted to talk.""Of course it's only talk, c

~Laurel~"Here." Kurt passed me a mug of the coffee he had prepared. I stared at the mug and the thought of not taking it nearly crossed my mind.He read the look on my face. "It's just coffee, Laurel." I glared and snatched the mug from his hold before sipping it slowly. Kurt plopped on the sofa in front of me and sipped his. "I don't see anyone around here. You live alone now?""No, gave my workers days off. They had helped me move in so I thought it would be nice if I gave them days off and allowances to feast on for the weekend.""I didn't picture you to be this kind of person." He purred, moving backward to rest his back on the sofa."What kind of person did you picture me to be?"He rolled his eyes and stared at the ceiling. "Rude, proud and arrogant. The money makes people high."I laughed. "Like the way you're high?""No, mine has been a characteristic.""Good for you. Cos you're the most arrogant person I've ever had the bad luck of meeting.""You don't call fate, bad luck,
