Falling in love with you *MINIMINTER*

Hidden Love

In the cozy and brightly decorated apartment that Talia, Emily, Faith, and Freya shared, the atmosphere crackled with excitement. The mismatched furniture, adorned with colorful throw pillows and blankets, exuded a charm that perfectly mirrored the eclectic personalities of its inhabitants. The walls, adorned with artwork and twinkling fairy lights, seemed to whisper secrets of laughter and camaraderie.

The four friends gathered around the kitchen table, their mugs of freshly brewed coffee emitting tendrils of steam that danced through the air, carrying the rich aroma to their eager nostrils. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow upon their faces as they settled in for a long chat. Their eyes sparkled with anticipation, knowing that within the confines of their humble abode, secrets would be shared, emotions would be laid bare, and laughter would resonate like sweet music.

As the girls settled into their cozy nook, Talia couldn't contain her excitement. Her eyes gleamed with anticipation as she leaned forward, her hands clasped together, ready to dive into the juicy details of the upcoming Sidemen Party for Simon's 25th birthday. Faith, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, leaned in closer, her curiosity piqued.

As Talia leaned in closer, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, she couldn't help but prod Emily for details about her mysterious connection to Simon. "Come on, Em," Talia said, her voice laced with playful teasing. "You've got to spill the beans! What's going on between you and Simon? We need some juicy gossip to make this party even more exciting!"

Emily, her cheeks flushing with a mix of embarrassment and hesitation, shifted uncomfortably in her seat.

Emily's eyes darted nervously around the room, her gaze avoiding Talia's piercing stare. She gripped the handle of her coffee mug tightly, feeling the warmth seep through her fingers, grounding her in the present moment. The scent of freshly brewed coffee enveloped her, mingling with the palpable tension in the air. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she mustered up a weak smile, desperately trying to divert the conversation elsewhere.

"I can't. I just can't, Talia," Emily replied with a tremor in her voice, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She shifted her gaze towards the window, the warmth of the sunlight pouring in, contrasting with the turmoil in her heart. The way the light danced on her face, casting fleeting shadows and highlights, mirrored the conflicting emotions swirling within her.

Talia reached out and gently placed her hand on Emily's, a soft reassurance passing between them.

Faith, leaning in closer to Emily, her eyes filled with intrigue, smiled encouragingly. "Come on, Emily," she chimed in, her voice carrying a soothing tone. "We're your friends. We just want to understand what's been going on between you and Simon. It's okay, you can trust us. We're here for you."

Emily sighed, her shoulders slumping with the weight of her internal struggle.

"girls it's nothing, I mean aren't we here to talk about the party anyways" Emily changed the subject.

Emily's attempt to change the subject did not deter her persistent friends. Talia leaned in closer, her hazel eyes brimming with curiosity, while Faith's brows furrowed with concern.

"Come on, Emily. You can't just brush this off. There's something between you and Simon, isn't there?" Talia's voice was gentle, yet insistent, as she searched for any flicker of confirmation in Emily's eyes.

"Talia, I told you social Media is too much and besides he's your ex I cant" Emily stated.

Emily's words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken truths and unresolved emotions. The room seemed to hold its breath, the sunlight casting delicate patterns on the walls as time momentarily stood still. Talia's hazel eyes searched Emily's face, her expression a mixture of concern, curiosity, and a tinge of hurt.
