Entwined

Chapter 8

West's POV 

"Who was she and why did you lie to her about who you are?" Caden hovered around me as we walked into the hotel, whilst demanding multiple questions.

"It was probably the girl from that night in the park," Ava glared at me. "Was it her, West?" I just ignored the pair of them and kept walking. "West, why didn't you tell her who you are?"  Her eyes were still on me as she unlocked the suite door. I don't exactly know why myself so I didn't have any answers. I sat down on the long, white couch and ruffled my hair as Caden seated himself next to me.

"West, was it the girl that you met?" I made eye contact with him and nodded. "Why did you lie to her?"

"I didn't, I just didn't tell her the truth." He raised his brows at me.

"Why?" I didn't want her to know. I didn't want her to think that I was another one of those arrogant celebrities who boasted about who they were and what they did. But mainly, I didn't want her to know about who I was; about my past. Yeah, I told her I was at the management building because I was doing photography for a friends blog. Yeah, it was a stupid excuse but I actually can't figure out what to tell her, I'm just so scared and I have no idea why.

"I don't know, I figured if I didn't tell her, everything would be okay between us for the time being. I'm scared, Caden. There's just so much crap going through my mind and I don't know what to do." 

"If you like her, just don't make it too late or you'll fuck her up, you'll fuck yourself up, you will fuck everything up," he sighed and my mind was going fuzzy. "Anyway, how are you? Everything's happening so fast, are you okay?"

"Man, don't talk to me like Kade, I've had enough of her," I roll my eyes and we both laugh.

"Okay then, what's her name?" 

"Mia." Just saying her name made me forget everything. Just the thought of her made me feel better; made the pain go away. And that made me feel bad, it gave me guilt because it's too early to be moving on. It's only been 3 months. And suddenly at the thought of her, my body started aching and I felt like I couldn't breathe. 

I burned inside with the idea of never seeing her smile again. The same burn I felt since that day; the same burn she gave me since 117 days ago.

Mia's POV

It's 4:53am. Maybe he'll be there. I sit up from my bed, ready to just rush out to see him. Since I met him, I feel like something was missing before. I feel like he's meant to be here, that he's supposed to fill that unknown emptiness inside me. It's actually terrifying; the fact that I've grown such a strong liking for a guy I met five days ago. I don't even know anything about him. He probably doesn't even care about me, I'm just the girl he met at the park. I re-contemplate my thoughts and lie back down next to Blaze. 

But I can't stop thinking about him. Well, I'm not going to sleep any time soon, so I get up and walk down the hall, shivering because of how cold the laminate floor is. I go into the kitchen and turn on the coffee brewer; the smell of fresh coffee disperses in the atmosphere and I take a deep breathe of it. I tap my fingers on the kitchen counter and look out of the massive glass window. There's a dozen stars in the sky, it's quite a rare sight. The coffee machine beeps and I grab a mug and pour it in. I slide open the glass window and step out. The night sky is beautiful, just like West. When I saw him, I saw beautiful things. And I just can't help but wish that when he layed his eyes on me, he saw the same. But he probably didn't, because he was gorgeous and I was the weird clumsy girl from the park.

"Actually maybe I will head out, because he might be there and even if he's not, it's cool, atleast I'll know that I tried to see him." Yes, I talk to myself when I'm alone. I turn around to put my shoes on and hear my apartment door unlock. Oh fuck.

I caught his sight and he grinned widely. 

"Mia, baby, did you miss me, beautiful?" Finn walked up, his eyes all bright accompanied by a smirk. He grabs my waist and pulls me towards him. "You look so blank, I've been away for 4 months, come here." He leans in to kiss me. 

Great. My boyfriend's back.
