A/N: PLEASE don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comments as it helps me stay motivated to keep writing!!

Louis Dubois' POV:

"Maya.." Ms. Wilson says suddenly as she gets up from the couch and we all turn to look at her in question.

A little recap over here, we're still at our house, just now the atmosphere has cooled down a bit- or at least how much it can be when you find out your sister is dying.

The sun is now setting and Mr. Hayes was also kind enough to order us some- a lot of food to fill the starving stomachs since yesterday but the food has yet to be delivered.

I frown, walking over to Maya's side, waiting for an explanation as I take out my phone to check what happened.

Oh.

"What's wrong?"

"Congrats" I snicker before realizing it's a bad timing. "Shit, sorry"

"You are apparently engaged to William Scott"

"What the fuck" Mr. Hayes mumbles, getting up and coming behind Ms. Wilson, looking over her shoulder and I notice her hold in a breath as he gets close, skins touching, barely apart.

I sit on the arm rest of the couch where Maya was seated and hand her my phone, which she accepts instantly.

She scoffs before it turns into a laugh.

"Who does he think he is?" She chuckles before passing me back my phone.

"Get me an interview" she states and Ms.Wilson looks taken back.

"What-"

"I'm sure they're lining up by now, so get me an interview" she states simply.

"But you.. yes ma'am" she says with a sigh before walking over to the couch and tapping away on her phone.

I know you're probably thinking that rumors happen a lot and that itself not really a big deal. But the thing is... it isn't the statement she is bothered by, it is the fact it was confirmed by his company that does.

Maya Hayes' POV:

I know it was my father- or if I can even call him that- who did this but I tried not thinking much about it for now.

I don't think William even agreed to this willingly. I mean the last time I saw him, he seemed pretty in love with his woman. Well, the world doesn't know that- Mr. Top Celebrity keeps his relationships on the low. Another reason why I don't think he agreed willingly.

Whatever.

The food arrives not long after and I watch as Mason helps Celine plate everything with a smile, this is probably the only time he has left my side since hours. But the empty space was now occupied with warmth that I couldn't quite explain. But it was the warmth that felt comfortable. The feeling you get staring outside a car window, watching cars pass by and rain drops race each other with light music playing in the background. It was that type of comfort.

It was Louis.

I turn to look at him and he is busy looking down at his phone, my eyes trail his to find a picture of my own near William's. And though it wasn't a big deal, I felt somewhat disappointed and had the sudden urge to explain myself as if I had been caught in a guilty act.

"We aren't actually engaged yow know?"I mutter and he meets my eye with a smile on hid face.

"Well he couldn't possibly have proposed while you were out eating with me" he says with a wink. I swear Im not hallucinating. He just winked. At me. With a cheeky smile.
