Star-Crossed Secrets

Ayla's Pov

My mind kept reminiscing on the time I'd spent with him. Although it's been over a month since we'd been at that amusement park, I could still invison everything as it happened. We'd been constantly texting each other over these past few days. Some days, we didn't have anything to talk about, but just hearing his voice made my day.

I felt like I was falling for him with each and every moment that passed by, but that's something I wouldn't actually admit to him. I've been trying to hide how I feel for a while, but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep up with this charade. Only time will tell, I guess.

Today, the girls and I planned a picnic. This was the first time in forever that we'd been able to plan something without anyone being busy.

Melody usually moves constantly as she's an influencer and always needs to be on top of everything, so she's never in one place for too long. Plus, she's trying to pursue a career in music because if there's one thing people don't know about her, she knows her way around playing a piano. It's a secret she doesn't share with most people. But she's amazing at it.

Maleini's work isn't easier either. As much as she's our friend, she's restricted from actually telling us what she does as it goes against her code of conduct. You know the law and stuff. She's on the verge of being the best female detective the world has ever seen, and to prove herself, she works her ass off. It's time-consuming for her at times, and it tends to be difficult.

And Immanuella, she's a special case. There's not much about her life that we actually know about. She's always been mysterious unless she'd want us to know what's going on. But then again, with everything she has gone through, I don't blame her.

I love these girls with all my heart. Seeing them makes my heart jump as they are the only people who get me. Including Amir. I'm not even sure how my mind does this. One second, I'm thinking of something, and then my mind drifts back to him instantly. It's the most confusing thing, almost like a magnetic pull pulling my thoughts closer to him. One thing i can say, though, is that I'll probably never get it to stop, so why not enjoy it.

"Hi, guys. I missed you guys." Melody said, pulling all of us in for a group hug. Oh, how I'd missed these days.
Immanuella set the blanket while Melody and I put the food that we brought on top of it. Maleini, who brought the art supplies, laid it to the side as we sat, ate, and caught up with our lives.
"Guys, I got tickets to Blaze's concert that coming in a couple of months!" She exclaimed, showing us all the tickets, "Did you get some for us too?" Maleini inquired, "Well, ehh, about that -"
"Wow." I interjected, "I'll try. It wasn't easy getting these tickets okay." She said, trying to justify herself.
"Guys, I have something i have to tell you all." Immanuella announced for the first since we'd arrived. We all turned our attention to her as she spoke, "I'm getting married." She said with less enthusiasm for such a huge announcement.

"Wait- what the fuck did you just say? Did I hear that correctly." Maleini asked, "When did this happen?" I asked confused. We'd never even seen her with a man to begin with, so all this came as a shocker.
"What's the guys name?" I asked
"What does he do?" Maleini added
"Where is he from?" Melody questioned alongside us, "Guys, can we not ask too many questions. I just wanted to let you guys know before hand. It's complicated though..."
"What do you mean complicated?" Maleini asked the question we'd all been thinking. She hadn't responded to that instead she said, "I want you guys to be part of my bridal party. So will you?" She asked as if we'd be able to say no.
"Woo! This calls for a celebration!!" Melody exclaimed, grabbing the Red wine and massive wine glasses with it. I laughed as Maleini protested against that idea. Immanuella let us be, although something strange is going on with her, but I'd rather ask her one-on-one.
