Like You Know Nya Novels & Stories

Erus' POV The drive home is quiet. Naya keeps wiping her eyes with a handkerchief that Brandon pressed into her hand, but Jordan is having a swell time. She keeps humming a song as she swings her legs back and forth. “Mummy, I'm a kind of princess!” She grins. Naya smiles, but she looks more scared than she looks jovial. We hardly say anything until we get to the house and they step out. Naya quickly steps out of the car and rushes into the house, without saying a word.

"Why only now?" "Hey! Why? Do you want me to come here without even showering and even getting dressed? I guess you miss me a lot, huh?" Naya entered then went straight to the table to put the food on the table. Because I bought food here earlier. Mango with anchovies and chili is delicious. I feel like I'm drooling. "What is absolute? I can't get what you are saying that you are stressed because of Louise. Why? is it here Is Rock still unstoppable?”

We laughed together at that, and as if we had called him to us, Reed strolled up, pulling Naya into his arm with a headlock. “What’s so funny, baby sister? I see you’ve met our new girl.” Reed chuckled as he held Naya in a headlock for a moment before letting go. Naya punched him in the arm. “I bet you’d like to know, bro. It’s Nunya. What do you want?” Naya proclaimed, folding her arms at her chest. She spoke much more confidently with her brother than earlier in the classroom. The shyness went away when she was around people she was comfortable with.

Sienna and Isla were nodding, gesturing to me to say yes with wide grins on their faces. I couldn’t hold back the shy smile that made way to my face. “Yes.” I whispered. Well , that had to happen...right?”

“I got crackers last week. Plain ones. Like, no salt. That has to be a warning.” Ava laughed lightly, shaking her head. “Maybe the vending machine’s just trying to tell you to cut carbs.” He gasped. “Et tu, Ava?” She smiled, glad for the distraction. Jake had become a good friend, someone she could laugh with in between the chaos of work. She appreciated that. She was about to reply him when someone approached. It was Nelson. “Hey,” he said, voice low, polite. “Mind if I join you?” That surprised her. Nelson wasn’t exactly chatty with her. They worked well enough together, but this was... new.

“Please… Naya.” My voice cracked. “I can’t lose you too.”

“What about Christian?” She smirked. “You’ll see.” My heart thumped—once, too loud. I hated that it did. ***** By the time we checked out—dress, shoes, accessories, a spray of perfume Lola claimed was “soft but dangerous”—I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and embarrassingly touched. As we stepped back into the sunlight, bags in hand, Lola nudged my shoulder. “You’re part of this family more than you realize,” she said. “Abuelo trusts you. I like you. And my brother… well.”

the distance between us made me feel like he was looking past me, not at me. "Enough moping," I said aloud. "You are hot. You are going to drink margaritas. You are going to eat a bowl of nachos the size of your head." I snapped a candid of myself in the mirror, posing with one hand on my hip, and shot it across to the Margarita Senoritas group chat. Marissa: FANDANGOS BABY! Cleo: DAMN girl, you are fire! followed by a gif of a woman rising from ashes like a phoenix.

Naira kept her head down but tears were rolling down her cheeks. Glaring at Laya, I spoke up, " You call yourself a beauty! Oh please, I can wipe almost 99% of your beauty with a wet tissue. So don't flatter yourself. The only fan you have is on the ceiling. By the way are you comfortable with this face? Fake hairs, fake nails, face full of halloween make up and a fake smile. Like me or hate me, either way I will just hate you." I stopped for a moment and then pointing at Naira, I again spoke up, "And about Naira, she is all natural. And that's what I like the most about her."

_I have no idea as to why. Maybe I just need to get my head checked or something. Because anytime I open my mouth to say something to him, it just comes out wrong. "Well, I think I like your mom very much. Everyone needs education especially in this era of young, dumb and broke ass, drugged induced generation of musicians" I rambled on and jasmine gave me the dead glare and I just shrugged and shut up. "Well, congratulations man. You are gonna go out there and have fun. At least you will get to live out your dream" Nathan had told him with a proud look on his face.
