Chapter 31 & 32 : Hailey’s Morning with Matteo
Freya walks up the Stairs after leaving the kitchen, she enters Hailey’s room and stops and continues to stare at Hailey who was sprawled on the bed.
“I wish I could tell you what happened between I and your brother but I don’t have the courage to” She whispers before climbing the bed and hugging Hailey before falling asleep.
~NEXT DAY>>
Hailey and Freya had bathed and were now dressing up, Tuesdays and Fridays are always a free day for Students to wear whatever.
Hailey picked out a green leather skirt and a white spaghetti hand top before topping it with her Green leather jacket, She wanted to wear her plain clothes but when she remembered that She had revealed her identity, she decided to go full out.
Freya on the other hand was still in her Bea and Panties, sha had some of her clothes and undies in Hailey’s house because she sleeps over sometimes.
She was also planning on wearing her plain sari and Ijab but changes her mind when she remembers that she wanted to Court Brandon, She didn’t care if it was meant to be the other way around.
“Hailey Damn…You Look Fire” Freya says and after turning to Hailey who smiles.
“Why don’t we twin?” Hailey says and Freya eyes widens as she scans Hailey’s clothe, Freya knew Hailey’s clothe would be a little bit but for her because Hailey had wide hips while Freya had hips but not wide as Hailey, Hailey had @ss to kill for but Freya was medium sized @ss (Whatever that means), Her @ss wasn’t small and neither was it to kill for.
“Your clothes may be a li…a little bit big for me” Freya says slowly because she knew how Hailey gets when someone mentioned she was chubby a bit.
“Good thing I bought for you” Hailey says and Freya brows furrowed as she watched Hailey walk into the walk in closet and brings out a black Dior shopping bag and hand it to Freya who took it with confusion.
“Happy Early Friendsary” Hailey says and Freya eyes widens.
“OMG .. Hailey’s Birthday is next week Saturday” Freya Shouts inwardly but smile brightly as Hailey.
Hailey’s birthday was the day they became friends, Hailey was a fat kid and was constantly bullied but she was once saved by Freya who scared them with her long tall figure which was Hailey’s Birthday.
Freya dips her hand into the bag and brought out a yellow leather skirt, White spaghetti hand top and Yellow leather Jacket, Freya gasps at it
“Thank You” Freya says with smiles but Hailey shrugs it off smiling back.
Freya quickly wears it, looks to the mirror and gasps at how fit and beautiful it was on her body, it made her look like something she had never called herself……Sexy.
She turns and saw how it made her @ss shoot out and made it look bigger than she thought it was.
“Wow…It Fits you way more than it fits me” Hailey says and walks to Freya with a comb.
Hailey sat Freya down in front of the dressing table and began to come her long black wavy hair gently, she styles it after and then grabs their school bags.
“Shall we make some boys drool?” Hailey asks stretching her hand to Freya who Grins and took Hailey’s Hand.
“Let’s not only make them drool, Let’s make them Fall… Hard” Fray says but inwardly she knew who she was referring to…. Brandon
They both walked down the stairs, their white boots making a hella noise as they did so.
“Took You Girls Long…….” Brandon was saying when he turns only for his eyes to land on Freya sexy legs and up to her hips then up to her b**bs and to her face, his mouth wide open.
“Bro why did you go Quiet all of a su…..” Matteo who was coming out of if the kitchen also paused, his mouth fell wide open.
Freya and Haley walks to them, Hailey to Matteo and Freya to Brandon, They put their index finger under the boys jaw and helped them to close their mouths before winking and then sat at the dining.
The Boys were still shook from what they saw, They turned to each other and quickly got their cool, they cleared their throats and then their brows furrowed at each other.
“Wait…why did you drool?” Brandon asks Matteo whose eyes widens but he quickly acted smart.
“Why did you drool?” Matteo asks back loudly, he knew Brandon won’t be able to talk in front of his little sister that he was drooling at her best friend.
“Uh..Uhmm” The gurls cleared their throat simultaneously.
“ABSOLUTELY NOT” The Boys Shouted immediately they turned to face them.
~IN SCHOOL>>
Hailey and Freya were in a Total bad mood, they walked to their lockers, Hailey totally ignored the stairs she was receiving.
They got to their lockers and Kicked the bottom ones in anger, They turned to each other after realizing they did that at the same time
“How could the do that?” They Shouted at each other, People turned to them in alert but the glare they received from both Hailey and Freya made them scramble away.
They turned to their lockers and hit Their heads on the lockers.
“They made us remove our sexy Clothings and wear this” Hailey says pointing at the black baggy top she was wearing and her dark green baggy trouser.
“I mean look at us” Freya says too pointing at the long indian gown she was wearing.
~FEW HOURS AGO>>
“What do you mean we can’t wear these?” Hailey asks and Brandon turns to her.
“Look at you… are you going for an auction sale or are you going to school?” Brandon says and Freya gasps at the back of Hailey.
Hailey ignores Brandon words and pouts.
“But we Look Sexy” Hailey says childishly which Made Matteo heart skip a beat at her baby voice, There was something about boys that just make them love Girls baby voice.
“You’re going to school not a club” Brandon says and looks at Matteo giving him a signal.
“We are sorry we have to do this” Brandon says, The girls turn to them confusingly.
“What?” They asks and immediately felt their legs being lifted from the ground.
“Hey… Put me down” Hailey shouts at Matteo who had her on his shoulder clearly carrying her to her room to go change.
“We meet back here” Brandon says and began carrying Freya to his room, he branched at Hailey’s room to get Freya her yellow indian clothe before going to his.
“Hey…Drop me” Freya shouts after watching as Matteo entered Hailey’s room, Brandon smacks her @ss making her gasps out.
“Brandon!!!” She shouts.
“Soft as always” he says referring to her @ss which made her blush.
~NOW>>
They Got each girl to Change by offering to do it but Clearly the girls refused and were forced to Change which was why they were mad right now.
Freya was really confused because she was wondering why Hailey didn’t ask why Brandon carried her and what they did in his room because they came out of his room quite late.
~7PM>>
Freya had another sleepover at Hailey’s home, They were watching another movie and Hailey was so engrossed in it.
“I’m thirsty, I’m gonna go get some juice” Freya says and Hailey nods still so engrossed in the movie.
Freya walks out and stops, looking towards Brandon room, she didn’t know why she began moving in that direction.
She raised her hand and Knocks quietly, no answer, She knocks again a bit louder, Brandon then opens the door and his eyes widens seeing her.
“What do you want?” He asks rudely, he was desperately trying to push her away but she keeps coming back, he didn’t want this feelings to grow more than they are.
“Where are you going?” Freya asks seeing how nice he was dressed.
“On a date” Brandon says blandly looking down at her, he only accepted the date from a girl in his class because he had rejected her 6 times now.
“What?” Freya ass, her heart breaking.
“You can’t go on a date” Freya says and Brandon raises his brow.
“Why?” he asks her.
“Because…Just because” Freya says, tears already pooling in her eyes as she shaked her head at him.
“Just because you still have feelings for me doesn’t mean you get to control me, you’re not my girlfriend anymore, Trust me when I say I got Over you the moment you chose to end it between us” Brandon says harshly, Freya staggers back with tears already flowing down her cheeks
“You’re right…Enjoy your date” Freya managed to say and turns running back to Hailey’s room , Brandon sighs out.
Freya enters Hailey’s room to see Hailey looking at her, she then realizes that she banged the door when she entered.
“Ha… Hailey” Freya chokes out hugging Heiley tightly.
“It’s okay..It’s okay” Hailey says .
“My Brother’s stupid I know” Hailey says and Freya eyes widens.
“Y..You Knew?” Freya ask in shock.
“Yeah…Caught you guys kissing in the kitchen once, I thought I was seeing things until I saw your chats, that was last 2 years I guess” Hailey explains.
“I’m sorry…I’m sorry for not telling you”Freya says still crying.
“It’s alright” Hailey says truthfully.
“Wanna do something fun?” Hailey asks immediately.
“What?” Freya asks.
“Let’s Go Ruin His Date” Hailey says and A Wide Grin Falls on Freya’s face.
“Let’s do it”.
Chapter 33 & 34 : Unspoken Tensions
They quickly went to the balcony of Hailey’s room which was pointing towards the main gate.
They watched Brandon walk out as his figure slowly appears to their sight fully, he opens his car door and slips inside.
“Go!!Go!!Go” Hailey shouted and they both began to run downstairs, They goto to the door and quickly ran out to Hailey’s bicycle in which she had 2.
Her driver had retired for the night and they couldn’t drive, they quickly got on it and as they were about to start pedalling, a voice stops them
“Where are you guys going?” They turned to see Matteo smirking at them.
“Uhmm…We ..We are gonna get something at …uhm the store” Hailey stutters out a lie.
“Oh yeah..like I didn’t hear you guys say you wanna go ruin Brandon’s date” Matteo says walking to them with an eye roll.
“Yeah..Yeah you caught us..Whatcha gonna do? Tell Brandon” Freya spoke out this time.
“Me?? Of course not, I would be a bad bestie if I did” Matteo says and leans in to them.
“What’s the plan?” He asks smirking as he saw that happy glow that suddenly came in the girls faces.
~LA CREME>>
“Who goes on an ice cream date in the night?” Hailey says with a look on her face.
“Brandon does” Freya says the obvious which got Hailey shrugging in agreement.
“How we gonna do this?” Hailey asks and Freya grins ..
“Oh No…You only grin like that when you’re about to do something bad” Hailey says shaking her head.
“Oh you know me too well Bestie” Freya says and opens a small bag she brought with her bringing out 2 scarfs and 2 big dark glasses.
“Wear it” She says throwing them at Hailey who shakes her head in denial.
“No way…. it goes against my fashion rules” Hailey says but Freya gives her a strong look which got Hailey wearing them.
They wore the scarf and huge glasses and trust me when I say they looked unrecognizable, They turned to Matteo who was in the front seat of the car.
Matteo took just one glance at them and began laughing hard.
“Wh…what is on your ..faces?” He says in between the laugh.
“Ha ha very funny” Freya and Hailey says sarcastically.
“Let’s go” Freya says to Hailey before turning to Matteo.
“Don’t go anywhere” She says firmly at Matteo who saluted her in a funny manner making her giggle, Hailey gave both of them a look and glares at Matteo indirectly telling him “Don’t flirt with my best friend”.
Matteo shrugs it off and watched them climb out the car, he watches them sneakingly enter the ice cream parlor.
“Where is he?” Freya asks going to seat but looking around also.
“There!!” Hailey says after spotting them, they were currently ordering the icecream.
When the girl turned to their view, they began drooling, From her long blonde curly hair to her perfectly manicured fingers to her sexy long legs and her eyes was to die for, it had the perfect color of aqua marine, Her pink small pouty nose and as they watched her laugh to something Brandon said, it was like time froze.
“Woahh” they both said out, Freya bit her lips as she watched the girl touch Brandon shoulder.
“Maybe we should just leave” Freya says out feeling very much insecure, The girl had everything she didn’t, Hailey turned to her with a firm look.
“Where’s the Freya that s determined to get her man back? Where is the Freya with that silly mischievous grin? You start it, You end it” Hailey says and Freya nods before looking at Brandon with a determined look.
“Excuse me” Freya says, the grin appearing on her face.
“Go girl” Hailey says rooting her.
Freya was walking towards them acting like she was on her phone, she waited for the right moment and mistakenly…..sorry I mean intentionally hit the girl hand which she was using to hold the ice cream which led to it falling on her skirt.
“Oh My God” The girl shouted while Brandon quickly helped her by taking a napkin from the counter and giving it to her to clean.
“Sorry… I was so distracted by what I was doing,.I didn’t see you there” Freya says in a weird Spanish-english accent.
“Always watch where you are going Grandma” The girl barked at her and Freya totally lost her cool.
“What did you call me?” She asked totally forgetting the accent as she slowly walks towards the girl.
“I Called you grandma, you wanna say something b*tch?” The girl says again and Freya smirks.
“Wrong answer” Freya says and raising her leg and bangs it on the girl perfectly pedicured toe nails.
“Ahhhh” The girl scream holding on to her leg, Brandon pushes Freya away a bit.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” he shouted at Freya, he didn’t know it was her though because of the disguise.
“You know what?? F*ck all this” She say and removes the disguise, Brandon gasps at her.
“Fre..ya” He says and looks back to see Hailey who had also removed hers, Hailey waves guiltily at him.
Freya had small tears in her eyes as she stared at Brandon with hurt, Anger, insecurity in her eyes, She shakes her head at him.
“Enjoy your date” She says and walks pass him making Sure to hit him with her shoulder.
“Let’s go” She tells Hailey and didn’t wait before walking out, Hailey turns to Brandon who was looking at her and glares at him before also walking out.
“You know that btch?” The girl he took on a date says and Brandon saw red, he grasps the girl arm harshly. “Don’t ever open that your sltty mouth and insult her again if you wanna stay in school” He threatens and walks out not turning to look at her once.
He got out to see that Matteo was just starting the car, Freya looks out the car only to lock eyes with him, She turns immediately and Brandon watches Matteo drive off.
~9≈MENDEL MANSION>>
Brandon got home only to see Matteo, Hailey and Freya sprawled on the couch watching a movie.
Hus eyes stayed on Freya for a long time before he began walking, he was about to pass them by when Hailey called him.
“Stop!!” She says and he stops.
“Get over here” She says firmly and Brandon walks towards her, wondering who was older in his head.
“Sit!” Hailey says and Brandon looks at the couch only to see that the only space was beside Freya but he sat otherwise.
“Okay Good….” Hailey says turning to them.
“Why didn’t you tell me you had a thing with my Best friend?” Hailey asks and Brandon wa shocked, he turns to Freya who rolls her eyes at him.
“I didn’t tell her, she knew the whole time” Freya says quietly but Brandon heard.
“I thought you won’t be in support of us.. I mean it” Brandon says correcting himself.
“So you just assumed I wouldn’t without even asking me first…who does that?” Hailey says feeling betrayed.
“And you” She points to Freya.
“You couldn’t even tell me…u thought I was your best friend, Maybe I was the only one who had this best friend stuff going on” Hailey says and Freya quickly shakes her head.
“No you’re not, I mean you are, I mean you’re not the only one who has this best friend stuff going on, He wanted it to be a secret..I’m sorry” Freya says bending her head slightly.
“You should be glad I’m not mad, you guys hiding the romance was so cute but did you seriously have to make out in the kitchen,.Now I can’t enter the kitchen without imagining what other stuff you guys did there” Hailey says with a disgusted look which made Matteo Laugh, They all turned to him in which he cleared his throat awkwardly at.
“Now time to be serious” Hailey says and everywhere went quiet.
“Brandon…Do you still Love Freya?” Hailey asks and Brandon froze, he looks at Matteo who was urging him to talk.
“No” He says and Everywhere grew extra extra quiet, He looks at Freya who was avoiding his eyes.
“I don’t Love her, I’m Crazy about her” he says still staring at Freya, his eyes not wavering not even for a second.
“Uhmm Freya, how do you feel about my senseless, stupid, extremely dumb Brother?” Hailey says and Freya looks at Brandon.
“My heart beats crazily for him” She says shyly, Brandon blushes at this.
“Them you guys should clear this stupid tension you have going on, it’s really choking” Hailey says standing up, she gives Matteo a glare meaning he should also follow her.
Matteo quickly stood and follows Hailey up the stairs, The Parlor grew awkwardly Quiet.
Brandon suddenly shifts closer to Freya and Buries his face in the side of her neck, Freya heart beat quickens.
“I’m crazy about you” Brandon says, his hand going to her waist pulling her closer to him.
“So dam Crazy about you” He whispers out before raising his head, his eyes locks with Freya’s.
“I’m crazy about you too” Freya says, Brandon eyes shifted from her Eye to her lips.
He leans in slowly until his nose touched hers, he nuzzles his nose on hers making her giggle.
“You know I’m very ticklish, stop that” Freya says but Brandon did it again loving the sound of her giggle.
“I Love You Freya but if you break my heart again,. I’ll hate you, I’ll hate your existence and I’ll love you at the same time, is my heart safe with you?” Brandon asks and Freya allowed her tears to drop.
“Very Secured Brandon, Very secured” She says and Brandon didn’t waste time before placing his lips on hers.
Hailey was watching them from upstairs, she was happy to see her best friend in love and she knew Brandon wouldn’t do anything to hurt her, Freya was in safe hands, She suddenly thought of Matteo and wished he could feel the same way as she did for him.
“You should become a match maker” Matteo Boyce suddenly booms in her ear making her flinch, she blushes and began playing with her hair
“Should I?” She asks turning to him, she then gasps at how close their faces were to each other.
“Yeah” Matteo whispers looking at her lips.
“Juicy” He whispers and before Hailey could open her mouth to ask what he was talking about, he kissed her.
Hailey kisses him back with that same Intensity, Her hand going to his jaw rubbing it softly, his hand around her waist bringing her closer to him.
At this Moment, everything was Perfect!!
Chapter 35 & 36 : Love and Regret
Hailey pulled away from the kiss breathing a little bit heavy, Matteo licked his lips staring at her Flushed face, his heart beat loud
Hailey broke the eye contact and turns to see Brandon and Freya sharing a hug, her smile wide, Hailey couldn’t help but smile but then a thought came to her head.
If only Brandon could allow me to be with Matteo the same way I allowed him to be with Freya She sighs as she thought this, Matteo as sure he saw a sad look flash on her face but he didn’t want to ask.
Brandon pulled away from the hug looking at Freya with pure admiration, love and attraction, Freya emotions not different.
“Gawd I Love You” He says burying his face in her neck, kissing her there continuously making Freya laugh but then she remembered something.
“Hope you haven’t forgotten Hailey’s Birthday next week Saturday” She says and Brandon eyes widens.
“You totally forgot!” She exclaimed looking at the expression in his face.
“Oh My God, I did, I’ve been so stressed with school, you and I totally forgot my Baby sister birthday” Brandon says placing his palm on his face in shame.
“It’s alright, Hailey doesn’t like celebrating her birthday big anyways but we have to buy her something” Freya says and began thinking of what to buy, Brandon looks at her and pouts.
“I think I’m gonna be jealous of my Baby sister, Think of me not her” Brandon says pouting and Freya laughs but soon a smack lands at the back of Brandon’s head making him turn.
He saw Hailey standing there with crossed arms, looking at him with a weird expression on her face.
“Hey Ley” Brandon says nervously, rubbing the back of his neck and fake smiling.
“You forgot my birthday” Hailey says but it sounded more like a question.
“Of course I didn’t, I wouldn’t dare forget my coochy coochy poo birthday” Brandon says standing and pulling her cheeks before grabbing her head in a head lock.
“Ya…Let me Go” Hailey says struggling to escape Brandon’s head lock, Brandon ruffles her hair and looks over at Freya, winking before letting Hailey go, Her hair all over the place.
“You destroyed my hair” Hailey says looking at her reflection in the TV.
“You look beautiful either way” A voice whispers in her ear and she swiftly turns to see Matteo winking at her, she blushes and looks away
“Time for Bed kids” Brandon says and they all turned to him with a look on their face, Brandon laughs awkwardly, he was used to calling them kids but now it sounded weird.
“Hailey… he’s right, it’s late, let’s go to bed” Freya says and Hailey turns to her.
“You don’t get to order me around, I’m older” Hailey says playfully and Freya laughed.
“You’re turning 16 next week while I’m turning 17 next 2 months Hailey… Do some calculations” Freya says and Matteo let out a chuckle, Hailey turns to him with a death glare which got him looking away instantly.
“Let’s just go” Hailey says and grabs Freya hand ready to pull her way but Brandon held Freya’s other hand, Hailey turns to him with a questioning look.
“I was thinking…uhm if she could sleep…uhm with me tonight” Brandon says nervously, Hailey and Freya’s eyes widens and that was when Brandon understood what he said.
“No…No….No I don’t mean that, I mean like cuddle on my bed, Gawd you both have such bad minds” Brandon says, Freya was about to talk but Hailey butt in.
“No… She’s my Best friend” Hailey says standing in front of Brandon.
“She’s my Girlfriend so technically I’m more important” Brandon says with a shrug making Hailey frown.
“Let her choose then” Hailey says and Freya gulps.
“Me or Brandon tonight” Hailey asks though playfully.
“Uhmmm.. Brandon” Freya says and Hailey eyes widens..
“You chose him Over me….Oh My Poor heart” Hailey says dramatically placing her hand on her chest.
“I’m just joking…I don’t mind but No S*X in My House” Hailey says though serious about her last sentence.
“I’m the eldest so I get to say what I do and do not do” Brandon says.
“Do you Brandon? Do you?” Hailey asks.
“No ma’am, it’s all you, your order” Brandon says saluting her, Hailey laughed and says goodnight before walking up to her room, Matteo also entered the downstairs guest room where he normally stays.
“Shall we?” Brandon asks Freya who nods and before she could count 5 seconds, Brandon swooped her off her feet and on his shoulder
“Seriously Brandon” Freya says Laughing but Brandon tapped her @ss In response.
~3AM ≈ MENDEL MANSION>>
Hailey was sound asleep, not in a deep sleep though, She heard the door to her room creak and that immediately woke her up.
She got scared and grabbed her pillow ready to smack whoever opens the door, she held it tightly and soon felt her bed deep.
She immediately started to smack the person repeatedly, not ready to stop, she heard a bang on the floor meaning the person fell, she stood and continued to hit the person.
until she heard a voice.
“F*ck Princess, I’m pretty sure you’ve broken my nose” She stops, her eyes widened.
~10 MINUTES LATER>>
Matteo was on her bed with 2 tissues in his nose to stop the bleeding, Hailey looking at him with her hand crossed and a frown on her face
“is your pillow made out of rock or what?” Matteo says jokingly but Hailey didn’t crack.
“Who the hell wakes up at 3 am in the middle of the night and sneaks into someone else’s room?” Hailey says very much upset, Matteo had scared the freaking hell out of her.
“I’m sorry..I didn’t mean to scare you” Matteo says , his head bowed a little, Hailey looks at him and chuckles, Matteo looks up.
“Why you laughing?” He asks and Hailey laughed a little louder.
“Stop Hailey…It’s getting really annoying” Matteo says noticing she was laughing at him because of the tissue in his nose.
“Hailey” He says warningly but Hailey didn’t stop.
He pulled her closer to him on the bed and hovers over her, Hailey stops laughing and looks at him with wide eyes.
“W..what are you doing?” She stutters asking, Matteo didn’t answer but buried his face in her neck.
“Hmm you smell good” Matteo says sniffing her, Hailey arched her back at the feeling in her stomach.
“This isn’t right” Hailey says trying to pull out if his grasp, she didn’t want Brandon to find out about the and end his friendship with Matteo
“When I’m with you, Everything that’s wrong suddenly feels right” Matteo says and Hailey froze at his choice of words, what was Matteo trying to say.
Matteo raises his head from her neck and looks into her eyes, he opened his mouth as if about to say something but closed it back, clearing his throat and landing beside her on the bed.
“Let’s sleep, I wanna cuddle with you” Matteo says.
He turns off the light and pulls her closer to him, His hand around her waist and her head in his chest, Hailey wondered what he wanted to say that’s made his so hesitant.
The Week had gone by and today was Saturday, the Day Hailey Mendel turns 16 officially, She was currently sprawled on her bed, deep in sleep.
“Birthday Girl!!!!!?” Brandon says barging into her room but stops seeing her sleeping, he smiles wickedly before sneaking into the bathroom and pouring himself a bowl of cold water.
“I said BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!” He says and splashes the water on her waking her up instantly.
“Ya….” Hailey shouts at Brandon who laughs awkwardly.
“Get dressed and Come down” He says and walks out, Hailey hand went to her wet hair and took it to the back giving her a morning sexy look
“What a horrible moment to start a day” She says groaning.
~45 MINUTES LATER>>
Hailey walks down the stairs to see a whole Breakfast Feist on the dining, Freya, Jerry, Brandon, Matteo and Surprisingly PAUL!!
“Paul?” She calls and he turns to her smiling.
“Hey there Birthday Girl” Paul says with a cute smile which made Hailey heart go into a daze, Matteo had been glaring at Paul from the moment he Entered the door.
“How are you here?” Hailey asks.
“He’s my course mate and he said he knew you from His sister or something like that” Brandon answers shrugging and Hailey nods in understanding.
“You’re welcome” She says smiling warmly at Paul, Matteo glared more and when he saw the smile from Hailey, his Jealousy tripled
“For the birthday girl” Paul gave Hailey the gift he bought for her after sha had sat down, Hailey gasps and collected it, Freya eyes was going from Matteo to Paula and to Hailey, she almost burst out laughing when she saw the glare Matteo was sending towards Paul
“Thank you” She says and opens it, her gasp louder.
“Oh My God… I have been wanting to buy this for months but couldn’t since it was 18+ and the Book store man wouldn’t sell it to me” Hailey says looking at the cover of “Forever ad Always ” by Mariah Gold.
“Thank you” Hailey says to Paul before looking at The book with admiration, Matteo who reads too much into people’s expression thought she was looking at Paul with admiration, his hand curved into a ball under the table.
“Not for my Gift” Jerry says breaking the sudden silence and handed Hailey his own gift, she opens it and sees a shiny yellow Scrunchie, she smiles and Thanks Jerry.
Freya bought her 4 Novels under her favorite Author, Hailey practically jumped on her in excitement.
Brandon bought her a set of jewelry and a new car, she told him she couldn’t drive but he said she has a driver for a reason, Hailey hugged him tight and looks to Matteo, she was expecting a gift from him but was utterly disappointed when he didn’t give her anything.
The day went by fast, they went out to a carnival and ate a lot, went on a lot of rides in which Brandon puked after each one, he wasn’t a fan on heights or anything that moves fast, Hailey sometimes wonder why he has a car then.
She noticed Matteo said less of words, he only takes when he was being talked to or when he wanted to suggest an opinion and he totally ignored her but Paul was giving her so much attention that she momentarily forgot about Matteo.
Matteo watched Paul and Hailey interact and he grew Mad each second Paul touched Hailey’s hair, He almost confronted Paul but was Pulled back by Freya who gave him a warning eyes not to ruin Hailey’s day.
They all went to their respective homes by 8 in the night, they had a lot of fun in which Hailey won’t deny to.
She was currently in her room, she had taken her bath and was ready to sleep, she was totally exhausted.
She sat on her bed when her phone pinged, she took it and saw a message from Matteo.
“Come Outside For a Bit” She reads and grabs a huge jacket to cover her nightie and she was also feeling cold.
She got outside and saw Matteo resting on his car, Hailey stared at him for a bit, she once thought what she had fro Matteo was just a crush but now she knew it was more than that, his handsomeness under the moon light was exquisite .
“Hey” She says once she got to him.
“Hey…Follow me somewhere” He says and pulled her towards the passenger side and opens the door for her, Hailey looks at him and enters
The drive was quiet but comfortable, Hailey wondered where he was taking her.
Soon they stopped at a familiar looking place, it was that bushy area that had a small waterfall and lake behind it.
She followed him there and gasps, she had been here before but not in the night, the Moon light shining on the lake and waterfall was so beautiful.
Matteo sat down and just stared, Hailey looks at him and did the same, Everywhere was quiet, birds chirping, Fireflies in this sky shining bright.
Hailey was still admiring the fireflies when she felt something on her palm, she looks down to see a small box, she looks at Matteo before opening it.
It was a necklace, a small golden necklace with the initials HM, she looks at Matteo, her heart warming up.
“Happy Birthday Princess” Matteo says and takes the box from her and helps her to stand before walking to her back and helping her to wear the necklace.
He successful did that, Hailey took the initials in her hand and smiles, the necklace was beautiful, exceptionally Beautiful, Matteo wrapped his hand around her waist from the back.
“When we were younger, I used to see you as my sister, someone I could mess with with a grin, someone I could tease, someone I wanted to protect with everything in me” Matteo says and Hailey listened attentively.
“But Nowadays, I think something’s wrong with me, You walk in the room and suddenly it’s brighter, You talk and it sounded like music, You smile and it looked like my Dark world suddenly had a bit of light, i didn’t see you as a sister anymore, I saw you as something more, way more than a sister, I’m not meant to feel this way, u tried to get rid of it but When I saw you with Paul, I knew at that moment that something like Jealousy existed, all I wanted to do at that moment was claim you as mine, I Lobe you Hailey, so damn much, I Love you more than a sister, I Love You… Romantically” He says and Hailey gasps, she walks out if his hold and turns to him.
“W..what did you say?” She asks silently.
“I Love You…So Damn Much”.
