Chapter 41 Mia I was finally back in my dorm room. Stacey was sound asleep when I got in. Thankfully, I had my key with me. I did not think I could stomach being around Zara for more than a second; I was just happy to be out of Reid’s place. I had had the unfortunate encounter with Zara half naked in the kitchen and had practically run out of there. I quickly climbed my bed and took a long nap, dreaming about Scott and his lips on mine. I woke up to the sound of knocking, but what really motivated me to leave my bed was how much I needed to pee and the smell of pancakes and coffee. With a quick trip to the bathroom and a splash of water on my face, I shuffled out of my room, my eyes still half closed, my head banging. I got to the living room to find Stacey arranging our tiny living room. She turned when she heard my door close. “Hey. You are awake!” she exclaimed, running towards me to hug me. “Careful, I have the stamina of a Victorian child about to die. Stacey chuckl

Chapter 43 Mia “Wow, thank you. That was surprisingly easy to follow. Thank you.” Gerald said as he closed the book. “I'm glad I can help.” “Hungry?” “Actually, I was planning on making something later tonight.” “How about we go eat somewhere?” I paused. “Oh, I don't know about that.” I blurted. “Why?” “I just… I have a boyfriend, and I don't think he'd appreciate us being at a restaurant together.” Calling Scott my boyfriend was laughable at best. “Even though we are just friends?” I looked at him, really looked at him. “Is that all you're looking for, Gerald? Just to be friends? Be honest with me.” He leaned back in his chair and studied me. “What makes you think I'm looking for something else?” “I'm not stupid, Gerald. And I have a sneaking suspicion you know that too.” "Maybe I enjoy your company.” I smiled. “Alright then.” “You don't seem happy about my answer.” “I have no reason to be happy nor sad. “Then why do you look disappointed?” “I do not," I said

Chapter 45ScottI was having a difficult time breathing.When the shopper had given me this dress and told me it would look good on Mia, I had instantly taken it, but never did I actually think it would look this good on her.The color reminded me of her. Warm and inviting.I opened the car door for her, and she smiled and thanked me. I nodded. My eyes fell on her shoulders. There were shiny dusts scattered all over it. I wanted so desperately to touch her, but she had made it clear that things could possibly not progress between us.I closed the door and rounded the car and got in.“So, my dad is looking forward to seeing you.”I was having a difficult time breathing.When the shopper had given me this dress and told me it would look good on Mia, I had instantly taken it.The color reminded me of her.

CHAPTER 47MIA“Your mom is certainly taking her time.”I said to Scott.“She usually does. She’ll be here soon.”“You think she will like me?”Scott looked at me. “I don’t see why not.”"Well, so far so good; your dad doesn’t seem like he wants me dead.”Scott laughed. There was something about the way he laughed that made me shiver.It was the sexiest and most manly thing."Come on.” He grabbed my hand. I followed him.The entire hall was staring at us.“Oh, there they are.” Richard said, stretching his hand towards us as we reached him.“Brother.” A taller and more arrogant-looking version of Scott smiled."Hello, Leonard.” Scott said stiffly beside me.“You look well. I didn’t think I’d see you today.”“Neither did I.”I looked between the both of them, trying to figure out the underlying hostility I could sense between them.There was a long silence that stretched for longer than was comfortable before Richard spoke up.“Your brother recently won a state championship.”“Ah, yes.

Chapter 49 Mia I walked out of the bathroom with my cheek burning. I could still feel the sting of Zara's hand. My fingers curled around the strap of my purse as I made my way through the crowded hall. I didn't know where I was going. I just knew I needed to get away from her before I did something that would get me arrested. “Mia.” I stopped. Scott was standing a few feet away, his eyes immediately narrowing when he saw my face. “What happened?” “Nothing.” “Nothing? Your face is all red?” “It was Zara. She hit me.” *What?” Scott's eyes narrowed. "Wheee, is she?” He demanded. “Leave her alone. I mean it.” “Just take me somewhere I can put on my makeup." “Not until I send security to take her out of this place.” Scott didn't wait despite me begging him to let it go. It was best not to provoke Zara. Especially since I planned on making her pay for her madness one way or another. Scott disappeared into a corridor and was back ten seconds later with a couple of security
