Maliah 🤺

I was confused when I saw Daphne here in USA, but now I know the reason.
Her uncle's wife began to treat her badly.
The same goes with her uncle. She overheard them talking about sending her to private school.
That really hurts; her parents died when she was five and started living with her uncle.
She couldn't live with them anymore, so she went to her uncle and told him that she wanted money to live on her own away from Paris, and she confessed that she heard them talking about sending her away.

Daphne never deserved that; she deserves the whole fucking world.

I didn't think about it twice before the words slipped out of my mouth
" Come live with me; it's just me and mother. "

I wasn't going to let her live in a hotel, plus one day her money wouldn't be enough.
I can read her facial expression and what she is thinking about.
" My father died when I was eight, so it's only me and mother in a house "
She didn't give me that look that everyone had given me since that day.
That's because she knew how it hurts to see that look on people's faces.

She pulled me to the dance floor.
We kept dancing on 'Moth To A Flame'
I began to listen to The Weekend because of Maxton Hall. That song was different, and that scene made it perfect.

" Isn't that Chad Miller ? " Daphne shouted so I could hear her.

" Maybe because it's his house "
Her eyes went wide.
Oh, maybe she doesn't know.

" Chad Miller is in our school; we're in the same class. "

I giggled at her expression, shocked.
When I turned around, I saw him already staring at me. Scanning me , from my hair , eyes , lips , neck , dress , exposed thigh , to my sneakers. Then back again to my eyes.
I just found myself unable to breathe under his stare.

He was wearing a black shirt and black cargo.
God help me.
I shouldn't be affected by this simple outfit.

" Let's go get something to drink " I pulled Daphne and headed to the kitchen, where Ade told me it would be there.

All we have found is beer , vodka and that kind of thing .
Of course , there won't be anything else.

" I will get a beer " Daphne said

" No , I won't allow you too "

" Lia , it's just one. Please, it was a long day "

" What about your health ? Or getting sober ? "
She smiled

" I will be okay; I have gone through worse plus one beer won't make me sober. Don't worry "
Then she went to get one.

" Maliah O'Brien in my house !! " cocky bastrad

I turned to face him.
God, We are so close.

" Surprisé "
He kept staring at me, and I didn't try to break the eye contact.

" Are you looking for something specific ? " he asked.
Thank God
I was going to reply, but he interrupted me.

" Ohh , I forgot that you don't drink. Wait here "
He went to the fridge and grabbed something.

I don't remember that I have told him that.
How did he know ?!?

" Here "
He was holding something orange in a glass.
I looked at him to find him smiling
God, this dimple

" I know that you prefer drinking fresh juices , so trust me, it's a fresh orange juice; I do it myself "
I took it from him after our fingers had touched
It was like an electric spark.

" Are you being a gentleman ? " It was all I could think about
He smiled , Again.
Ughhhh

" I have the pleasure today that you're here, so yeah, consider it that "
I found myself laughing, and he was still smiling.

" So watch it out , darling. Because I might get used of you being a gentleman " I winked

WAKE UP MALIAH !!!
He is your enemy !!!
Pull up yourself.

But here I'm still smiling at him.
What did he put in that damn juice ?
It's not like it's bad; God, it's perfect, but he shouldn't know that.

" Li..... " Daphne's eyes went wide , Again

" Oh, hi Daphne. Welcome to our school "

" Y-You know my name ? "
He giggled

" It's difficult, not too , plus everyone is talking about the hot girl that had just joined our school " he said simply, and she smiled at him

I finished the last sip of my juice, as I said
" Let's go, Daphne; we're already late " I grabbed her hand, and before leaving, I turned to look one last time at Chad, as I said.
" Thank you for the juice "

" Anytime , Mal " I nodded.
