Goodbye LA, hello Paris

It's been several days since Ed kissed Mar. Neither Tamara had told about it. She kept herself with some responsibilities, and decide to prepare Tasha's  birthday party. Barely convince her because, she didn't want it. Nicholas and Liam still does not speak, and no one knows why except Naomi, which is slower moving, and has work transferred home. After a long discussion with Naomi, Nicholas had decided to tell the children about Nicole. All were sitting in the living room in silence. Matt, Mar and Tasha are looking at each other astonished, while Liam sat arms folded and watched a spot on the wall. "The reason why I brought you together is ..." he spoke with a poised voice, and everyone looked at him except Liam "I know this will affect some of you what I'm gonna say, but until the other day I did not know neither..." he paused again to think. Naomi put her hand on his arm. He looked at her and she smiled in support. "The thing is that I have another daughter ..." and finally he spoke. "What ?!" heard is by the Mar, Matt and Tasha. "She will ..." he started to say but it was heard the doorbell ring "Well, she just came .." he said and went to open the door. A couple seconds later, three of them were looking at her. Nicole. She was wearing a white tank top, colorful floral-printed mini skirt and cream sandals. They could not believe it. They were shocked. "Evening!" Nicole spoke timidly. Tasha's eyes stuck in tears, and she immediately ran out of the room. "Good evening, have a seat," said Noami politely. "MOM!"shouted Matt. "Is this a joke or what ?! First you're just an ordinary girl who flirts with Liam! You kissed! My sister is heartbroken and now it seems that you are his and Marianela's sister! This is bullshit! I'm outta here!" So did Liam. "I'll go see what's up with Tamara!" said Mar, then she left the living room. "It's better that I go." spoke Nicole. "No, no .. stay, you just came." said Nicholas and took her hand. Since that night, Nicole was almost every day come to see them, well every other because she went with Kelly. Tasha is always looking for any excuse to not be home at that time. Nicholas was so delighted that Nicole was there, that he did not care how his children feel.

Mar and Tasha were lying on the deck chairs by the pool and sunned in. "... I hope it will not be a big party. I do not really want to celebrate it ..." she said Tasha waving fan "But tonight we are going out" no response "Mar Mar!?" pocketed her hand. Mar is nodded off thinking "Huh? What? What is it?" she said. Tasha rolled her eyes, "Well, you did not even listen." Mar drank a sip of cold lemonade, "Excuse me, something I've thought about it. What you were saying !?" Tasha sighed, "Never mind! But what's up with you these days? You are pretty secretive?" she asked. Again she thought for a few seconds, and decided to speak out, "Remember when last week I went for a ride with Ed on the bike?" Tasha only nodded. "Then we kissed. He kissed me, and I in some way returned."  she told, and Tasha was shocked. "Aaah with that cutie. And his brother is adorable. Aah." Mar had just glowered and Tasha cleared her throat, "Sorry. How could you do that to my brother. You know that Matt will be crushed when you tell him." Mar looked into the pool, "I know," she said sadly. They are joined by Bella with Leo in a go-cart. "Hey, girls." both greeted her. After preliminary discussions with Tasha on Mar face appeared a smile when she saw Leo. "Give me my little godson." Bella slowly pulled out Leo of go-cart and gave it to Mar in arms "Hey you little." spoke to Leo. "In this heat you came! You won't left the house at least until tonight!" commented Tasha. She sat on deck chairs by Tasha "Shut up. I can not keep either at home to be. But, you didn't tell me what happened the other day" she said. Tasha stood up, "There's nothing to talk about," and then she jumped into the pool. Bella and Mar have just looked at each other. "Girls!" they heard from the kitchen Noami's voice "Lunch is over ..." she said. Everyone ate in peace and with the story, as far as they could because Leo constantly waking up. "Mmm, sits you. I will." said Tasha and she got up from the table. Quick steps she climbed the stairs when the left side of the corridor appeared Liam. They were both standing in place and just watched, while Leo cry has not increased, which caused Tasha to startl "Am, I have to go to Leo." she said quickly and went to the room.

Matt stood in front of the mirror and buttoning his white shirt "Okay, I know that after all these events you and Tamara still not talking, but is it not already become stupid," he said to Liam. He sighed at that "Yes, it is. Really stupid. But I returned Nicole kiss and i understand why she will not talk, plus found out that Nicole is my half-sister. I think we'll never be the same as we were." uttered. He stood next to Matt and looked for the last time in the mirror. "Bro, you should made her a surprise, or something. I know that she still loves you."

"Nah ... it's all over." spoke with disappointment. Matt patted his back and they walked out of Matt's room. The girls were already ready and waiting for the two of them to come down. Tasha finds for strapless black mini dress with cutouts on the side and festive strappy sandals and a wrist-full of bangles. Brown hair is curled and of make-up is put on some mascara and red matte lipstick. As for Mar. She decided for studded top, black skirt and hat and stilettos. She straightened her hair and for make-up she putt Little eyeliner, mascara and nude lipstick. They both looked stunning. Matt pecked Mar's lips. "You look stunning," he said and she just smiled. They left the house and went to the address of club. For regular séparé there were waited Bruno and Vanessa, cuddled. Matt and Liam went to pick drinks. She did not manage  to sit, Ivan came up to Tasha and they went together to the dance floor. Mar felt someone's hand on her lower back. She winced and saw Ed infront her. "What's up? Are we okay? I mean you did not answer my calls or messages." He paused for a second, "Look, Mar, I like you. I like a lot, and i can not stop thinking about you after that kiss," spoke and looked at her pleadingly, somehow, in expectation that he would return the it. "I know! Ed you're a nice guy and all, but I love him! Although our relationship is dysfunctional in recent times, it will always be HIM!"

"I knew it. It's OK. I'll see you around." uttered sadly and just as he turned to leave they heard the third voice that tells him to stop. They both turned in the direction of the voice. Matt stood in front of them with the scotch in his right hand. "Mar, you said yourself that this does not work, this was enough for me! I wish you a nice, happy and HONEST relationship!" spoke very seriously, and then he disappeared into the crowd. Mar just bowed her head and sighed. She took the glass from Ed's hands and drank until the end. "Let's get smashed!" she said, and pulled Ed to the bar.

........

"Are you sure you want to do that?" asked Naomi Tasha as she put the clothes on the bed. "Yeah, pretty sure. I just need that, you know. To get away from everything," she said. In that moment Mar entered the room "Heeey ..." she said somehow elated but when she saw the situation in the room her exaltation fell. "W-what are you doing?"

"Packing" she said, and continued to pack things into suitcases. "I see that. But why?" was followed by more questions from Mar. "I just need to get away." said Tasha, and pain was felt from her voice. Mar approached her and tightly hugged her. "I'm gonna miss you," tears fell down her cheeks.

"I'll miss you too," said Tasha and kissed her on the cheek. They split up. Tasha turned to the bed took a small, white envelope on which was written 'To Liam'. "Please give this to him after I'm gone." and handed her an envelope. After a few hours everything was packed. Matt helped her to bring her bags and put them in the car. After almost an hour drive arrived at LAX airport, where they were waited by  Lucas and Bella. Tasha submitted the necessary passport and ticket and had completed the required procedure. Sitting in a chair and talking. Heard is notification about flight Tasha's plane. She greeted with everyone for the umpteenth time. At the entrance is turned for the last time and looked at his family "Goodbye LA, hello Paris," she said quietly.

At that time Liam was with Bruno. None of them knew what was happening. When he arrived home no one was in, what was weird. Soon he heard the front door open. He ran from the living room into the corridor, "Where have you been? !! Where is Tamara !?" he asked them. All were silent. Naomi took a step toward him, "Tamara ..." she paused, and he just looked at her, "She's gone."

"What do you mean gone?" he asked. Mar at that moment approached and handed him an envelope. Quickly he opened it and took out the paper. He began to read and a tear slid down his cheek. He crumpled the paper and ran outside. He sat in the car. He was driving at high speed. It always calmed him but this time not. He was driving just not to be at home, not to see him all  broken hearted.
