They left the restaurant and went back to their room, “If you need anything just call me!” Sky told her before he went inside his room. Stella looked at Sky’s room and shook her head, “Should I risk my life?” She whispered to herself and entered her room.
She lay on her bed and looked at the ceiling, “Maybe he is happy now that I am not in the house!” Stella said and she was thinking about Brandon. Her phone rang from a call and it was her sister. She took a deep breath before answering the call, “What now, Daisha?” Stella asked her sister. “Our father is here and looking for you!” Daisha answered in her lowest tone. “Just make some white lies!” Stella told her, and Daisha took a deep breath.
“Fine, this is the first and last time that I will do this.” Daisha answered and ended the call. Stella put her phone on the side table and stood up. She went to the bathroom to take a bath and dried her hair before going to sleep.
She woke up when her phone rang from a call, it was Flora. “Yes?” Stella answered the call, “I’ve been knocking on your door for almost five minutes and you are not answering me. Where are you?” Flora asked her, which made Stella shake her head in disbelief. “I’m sorry, I went to sleep!” Stella answered and stood up from her bed.
Stella went to the bathroom to wash her face and went out of her room. She immediately saw Flora waiting for her outside her room. “I thought you were dead!” Flora told her and slapped her shoulder. “I hope so!” Stella answered, which made Flora glare at her.
They left their hotel and walked near the beach. “So, what is your plan now?” Flora asked her, and Stella looked at Flora. “I don’t know!” Stella answered and they stopped walking.
There was a bench near them and they decided to sit there. “Who is with you tonight?” Stella asked her, and Flora smiled at Stella. “Oh! He’s here!” Flora answered and pointed out the other side of the beach.
Stella looked at it and saw Tyros walking towards them, “What the hell!” Stella burst out and immediately looked at Flora. “What?” Flora asked her and looked at Tyros. “Good evening, ladies!” Tyros greeted them and winked at Flora.
He sat beside Flora and looked at Stella who was still confused about what was happening. “Don’t tell me-
“You are thinking the right thing!” Flora cut what Stella was saying. “No! It can’t be!” Stella said and stood up. “What do you mean?” Tyros asked her, and Stella shook her head. “Hey! Calm down!” Flora told her and went to Stella.
“Are you telling me that you are dating him?” Stella whispered to her, “Yep!” Flora answered and smiled at Stella. “Congratulations!” Stella said and patted Flora’s shoulder.
“Do you want to grab dinner? It’s on me!” Tyros told them, and Stella looked at him. “Nah! I’m full!” Stella answered and smiled at Tyros. “I will go with you!” Flora said and rolled her eyes at Stella. Flora and Tyros left first, Stella decided to stay near the beach and looked at the waves that were hitting the sand. “Why are you alone here?” Sky appeared and sat on the chair that Flora used. “I’m with Flora earlier but she needs to accompany someone.” Stella answered, and Sky nodded his head. “Who? Tyros?” Sky asked her, which made Stella look at him.
“You know about them?” Stella asked him immediately, “Yeah! Flora introduced him yesterday.” Sky answered, and Stella just nodded her head. “Are you mad at her?” Sky asked her again, and Stella shook her head. “I’m just disappointed! We’ve been friends for a decade but she chose to hide it from me.” Stella answered while looking at the sea. “Maybe she just wants to surprise you!” Sky told her, which made Stella smirk at him.
“I don’t like surprises!” Stella answered and stood up from the chair. “I’m going to my room now!” She added and didn’t wait for Sky’s answer. She walked towards their hotel and went to her room. She sat on her bed and looked around to find out that there was a shadow inside the bathroom.
Stella didn’t freak out and decided to check the bathroom, she opened the door and saw Brandon brushing his teeth. “Why are you here?” Stella asked him right away, “Don’t yell at me! I’m just here to save your ass from your father!” Brandon answered, and Stella shook her head in disbelief. “I will wait for you outside!” Stella told him and closed the door.
She waited for a couple of minutes until Brandon went out of the bathroom, “How did you know my room number?” Stella asked him right away. “Flora told me!” Brandon answered, and Stella laughed at him. “Wow! I can’t believe it! My best friend is betraying me now.” Stella said and started walking inside her room. “I told you that I am here to save your ass!” Brandon said, and Stella nodded her head. “My father is looking for me, right?” Stella asked him, and Brandon smiled at her.
“He didn’t want to stop looking for you so I made up a story to save you.” Brandon answered and looked at Stella seriously. He was waiting for Stella’s reaction after he said that. “Should I thank you for doing that?” Stella told him, and Brandon shook his head in disbelief. “You don’t need to do that if it is against your will.” Brandon answered and he didn’t get any answer from Stella.
“You should get your own room.” Stella told him and stopped in front of Brandon. “I will use the couch, Stella!” Brandon told her, and Stella glared at him. “Why?” Stella asked him, “Your father will be here at any moment and we need to stay together until tomorrow.” Brandon answered, and Stella took a deep breath. “This is stressing me out!” Stella said and sat on her bed.
“Fine! You can use the couch!” Stella told him, and Brandon immediately went to the couch. He made himself comfortable on the couch, and Stella was just watching him fixing his things.
After Brandon fixed his things, he looked at Stella who was sleeping already on her bed. He went to her bed to check on her, “I will just grab dinner!” Brandon said even though Stella wouldn’t hear him.
Stella woke up and found herself alone in her room, she looked around but she couldn’t find Brandon. She stood up and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. “Did you see Brandon?” Stella asked Tyros who was standing outside of Flora’s room. “He’s on the beach!” Tyros answered, and Stella smiled at him. “Sorry for my attitude earlier! I’m happy for both of you!” Stella told him, which made Tyros smile at her. “Thank you, Stella! I appreciate that!” Tyros said, and Stella started walking outside their hotel.
She was walking near the sea when she saw Brandon talking to someone and it was a woman. She couldn’t see the face of the woman so she decided to go to them. The woman looked at Stella who was walking towards their direction, “I should go!” The woman told Brandon, and Brandon nodded his head. “Be careful!” Brandon told her, and the woman smiled at him.
Stella reached the chair where Brandon was sitting, “Where is she?” She asked him but Brandon just looked at her. “What are you saying?” Brandon asked her and tried to hide something from Stella. “You were with a woman earlier, where is she?” Stella asked him again, and Brandon shook his head. “She’s just asking for direction.” Brandon answered, and Stella looked at him seriously.
“Are you familiar with this place?” Stella asked her and she was confused at Brandon’s answer. “Not really but I know the direction that she asked me.” Brandon answered, and Stella was watching his reaction. “Is that so?” Stella said and didn’t try to communicate with him again.
Stella knew that Brandon was hiding something from her because she always caught him leaving their house every midnight. She didn’t want to show him how curious she was, “You became quiet!” Brandon told her, and Stella just looked at him.
“I’m just thinking about something.” Stella answered and looked at the stars. “I will go inside now!” Brandon told her, and she just nodded her head. Stella watched him leave and smiled when she saw the woman again. “You are here with someone, huh?” Stella said and shook her head.
She stayed outside until midnight came, “And you are here again!” Sky appeared and sat beside Stella. “It is so refreshing here!” Stella answered, and Sky looked at her. “You can tell me your problems.” Sky told her, and Stella smiled at him. “I don’t have any problems!” Stella answered, “And you are lying to me now!” Sky told her.
“Fine! I saw him with a woman earlier and I guess the reason why he is here is to spend his time with that woman.” Stella told him and tried not to look at his eyes. “Brandon is here?” Sky asked her, and Stella nodded her head. “And you are jealous” Sky asked her again, which made Stella look at him. “Am I jealous?” Stella asked him too.
“You are a lady now, Stella!” Sky told her and patted her head. “Do I look like a man to you?” Stella teased him, and Sky laughed at her. “You are cracking a joke now!” Sky told her, and Stella immediately went to be serious. “I’m not jealous, he can date whoever he wants!” Stella said and pushed Sky away from him.
“But he is your mate, are you fine with that?” Sky asked her and there was a silence between them. “I think so!” Stella said and looked away. “It is already late, we need to blend in with the mortals tomorrow!” Sky said and stood up from the chair. He offered his hand to Stella, and Stella accepted it so he could help her to stand up.
They went back to their room and Stella went inside her room. She saw Brandon already sleeping on the couch. She saw the ball cap that the woman wore earlier, “You met her here, huh?” Stella said and got the ball cap from the ground.
She scanned the ball cap and it was familiar to her. She shook her head and put the ball cap on her side table. She decided to sleep with all her thoughts in mind.
Stella woke up when she smelled something delicious, she opened her eyes and saw Brandon eating on the couch. “Oh! You are awake now!” Brandon told her and she just nodded her head. She went inside the bathroom and brushed her teeth.
“You didn’t order for me?” Stella asked him, and Brandon stopped eating. “I don’t know what you want to eat.” Brandon answered, and Stella nodded her head.
Stella called for room service and looked at Brandon who was happily eating his breakfast. She looked at the ball cap she got from Brandon, “Is that yours?” She asked him and pointed out the ball cap. Brandon looked at her side table and he was startled to see the ball cap there. “How did you get that?” Brandon asked her and stood up.
He went to the side table and got the ball cap. “She left it here. This is my room, Brandon! I already told you that you should get your room.” Stella told him, and Brandon nodded his head. “I will!” Brandon answered and finished his breakfast.
After eating his breakfast, Brandon left the room and Stella’s breakfast came. She started eating alone but she was still thinking about that woman. “Did she know that I exist in his life?” Stella asked herself and finished her breakfast.
She changed into her swimsuit and went outside her room. “I need to tell you something!” Flora appeared and grabbed her arm.
