What just happened?Noah stared at Lola with hazy eyes. He burned on the inside with his desire for her, yet the little daredevil had slid off his lap in the heat of the moment, smirking like a fox as she left him hanging and confused to sink back into the passenger’s seat.“What?.” Lola suddenly asked with a frown and a raise of her eyebrow, both arms defensively crossed against her chest. “Oh, you thought a little peck-a-boo would make me change my mind about not wanting to date you?.”Noah: “.....” Peck-a-boo?. Did she just refer to his sincere confession as a childish game? He furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to make sense of the whole situation. Lola tried hard not to laugh at his helpless expression and managed to keep a straight face as she said. “It’s getting late, please take me back home.” ~Three vehicles were lined up behind the car which had halted abruptly by the roadside. The first vehicle was been occupied by some of Noah’s men including John and the chauffeur who w

Lola walked out groggily from the bedroom and gave Maria an unwilling look. Her mother had suddenly turned on the music player so early in the morning after breakfast, putting on her favorite hip hop track which the both of them knew by heart on play, and had asked Lola to dance for her.Maria Coker looked at her daughter intently. Lola had changed a lot after she suddenly stopped to work at Fame Hall Entertainment as a dancer. She had found out a little too late as Lola only told her about it after a week had passed. She wondered if it was her fault, for asking Lola to hold back on displaying her talents. Maria heaved a lengthy sigh as she continued to stare at Lola. All she wanted was for Lola to be safe and now, it seemed it was finally okay to let her daughter do whatever she truly wanted.. without having to hide her talent or hold back any longer. “Come here..” Maria urged Lola over, spreading out her arms.Lola raised her eyebrows as she looked at her mother with suspicion. “You

Maria walked back into the house to find the music which she had wanted Lola to dance to earlier in the morning on the play. Its volume was low and it seemed to be coming from Lola’s room.“Is she dancing?.” Maria muttered, her face suddenly curving up into a grin as she lessened the intensity of her footsteps against the ground, sounding as light as possible, as she tiptoed to her daughter’s room.The door was slightly ajar and the music was indeed on inside but contrary to what Maria had expected, Lola wasn’t dancing at all but was on a call with someone, probably Aria cause she heard her mention the word ‘audition.”Maria turned to return to the living room but Lola had turned at that same moment, noticing her.“Mom.” She called out and ended the call. “You are back already? Is Richard gone?.” she asked.“Yes, he is,” Maria responded with a nervous smile. She expected more questions from Lola but the girl only nodded and returned to reading the novel on the bed which made Maria even

A strange-looking family of five was seated around the table of a seven-star restaurant. Judging from their orders, the huge spread of food on their table, and the number of diligent staff that were on standby to privately attend to them, the other customers concluded that the strange family were indeed odd-looking but they were definitely not the sort of people to mess with, so they forced themselves to look away from them and concentrate on having their meal.Mr Finnegan, the manager of the restaurant where the five were currently seated and having dinner was an average-sized man who always wore a smile on his face. Mr Finnegan’s smile bloomed wider than usual as he hurried over to the special guest’s table, he gave a bow to Noah who was currently watching Lola add more food to the plates of the three children. “Mr Sanchez.” He called. “Hope you find the food to your liking sir? You see... You arrived on such short notice but we made sure that only the finest of our chefs handled t

Lola locked the door from behind as she walked into the bedroom. A soft melody drifted through the window into the room from the street below. On nice evenings such as this, Lola would stand by the open window, which gives a nice view of Rosewoods, and just stare, but tonight, she was not in the mood.She slumped down on the comfy already-made bed and stuffed her face in the pillow. Tonight was meant to be spent reminiscing about old high school memories with Noah Sanchez and reeling in the less than three hours late news that she was now officially Noah’s girlfriend. So how did things get so crazy? How could her own best girlfriend be in love with her?“Jeez!.” Lola mumbled, feeling lost. She turned over on the bed and propped herself up in her arms. But Aria?… There must have been signs right? “Well, maybe I’m pansexual..” Aria’s random words the other night at Maria’s garden rang in her ears and Lola resisted the urge to scream for being so ignorant. Turned out those words were n
