MILLIE

Mia has been going out more than often lately, even Lia can't seem to figure out where she's been going to,since Mia herself has been lip tied.

I turn my head to the side in Lia's direction,who is chewing on her fingernails absentmindedly. When she senses my eyes on her,she stops and sighs.

"Do you think she's doing something illegal?" She asks

"No,I don't think so," I frown. "She might be wild but she's no criminal."

"Well,that puts me at ease, knowing I'm not the only one who is sure she wouldn't go that far."

"What do you mean by that far?"

"I think it's that King guy she's been obsessing over,she's never been the one to chase after guys,they do the chasing and that's making me worried."

I ponder over her words and worry starts to increase to higher heights.

"She's been gone for two days and hasn't had a real conversation with me except, "I'm safe,love you and take care," I'm worried."

"Do you think she's with that mafia prince?" I ask.

"Yes,she's been missing classes."

"What do we do? Have you tried to call her?" I sigh in frustration.

"Yes,her phone is off."

"Wait a minute," I pull out my phone and go to a certain page I found on Facebook, everything is written in cryptic words,only those who know what really goes on get it.

I scroll through the page that's run by an anonymous person and find a post from three hours ago,I turn my phone to Lia who reads,

"Who's the owner of your crown when you're 7 years old today? Kingdom or Dragon?"

I wait for her to get it,when she does,she jumps up from her seat.

"Holy shit! There's a match tonight at 7 and it's King and Darius,the guy who goes by Drago!"

"If this King guy is fighting, then Mia is definitely going to be there."

At exactly 7 pm we are buried in the hall full of college and university students. Cologne,perfume and sweat mixed together, causing my head to spin. I suck in deep breaths and push forward in the crowd.

The fight starts but I'm focused on finding Mia at all costs. A tap on my shoulder has me turning to face Lia who's pointing straight ahead,I follow her finger and see Mia,who's cheering loudly and seated between two shirtless guys who are watching the fight with bored expressions and irritation, probably because of Mia's screaming.

When her eyes find ours,a huge grin spreads over her lips,she says something to the guy on her left who doesn't seem to care,then comes over to us.

"Girls!" She hugs us.

"Mia,where have you been?" I ask.

"With King of course,I texted Lia that I was safe."

"But you skipped classes for two whole days,what the hell are you thinking?"

Mia frowns at that.

"Really,I'm really safe where Lo-" she gets cut off when a familiar voice calls my name.

"Millie?"

I turn around.

"Suzie? Oh my goodness." We hug and then she says,

"It's been a while since I've seen you,how are you doing?"

"Well,I'm doing great."

"Hey Suzie,I didn't see you when coming here,I would have loved it if we rode together." Mia gives a friendly smile.

"Uhh sorry,have we met before?"

Mia's smile falters for a second but steadies in place.

"Uhm,yes. Actually, we've been staying in the same house for the past two days,we even watched a movie together," Mia explains but Suzie's frown deepens.

"The Place," She presses on. "That was the title,rom-com."

"Yeah, whatever." Suzie dismisses her and grabs my hand. "come on,let's get some drinks."

"Sure,your favorite is wine right?" Mia says, moving closer to Suzie.

"Yes." She answers flatly.

"Well then,let's go to the bar."

"Wait,I just meant Millie alone,maybe next time...?"

"Mia." She reminds her what her name is.

"Right," come on Millie,I need to tell you something."

"Uhmm.." I look at my friends as Suzie tugs on my hand.

"It's ok,you can go ahead." Lia says softly with an edge to her voice that has me feeling guilty.

As I follow Suzie,I hear Mia's say,

"This is the eighth time I'm reminding her my name in two days."

When I've downed my second glass,I finally ask the question that's been nagging me.

"You don't seem to like Mia that much," I point out.

"Well,I just don't like her that's all,it's nothing personal."

"She said you two watched a movie together,is her boyfriend King-"

She snorts, cutting me short.

"King? Her boyfriend? Let's just say he's been using her for certain things since she's too desperate for his dick,no offence."

My stomach drops at the confirmation that this King guy is actually using Mia. This is bad,very very bad.

"He's a jerk and a total bastard,he doesn't have a girlfriend,you should warn your friend. She's going to get hurt in the end of this, 'please the king' game."

I open my mouth to ask her what this guy,King looks like when a shadow falls over us. I look up and find Will staring down at us.

My cheeks heat at the reminder of what he witnessed that day between Logan and me.

"What the fuck did I just tell you?" He asks angrily. "Do you want me to lock your ass up again?"

"I'm not a kid anymore Will, I'm eighteen,why won't you just leave me the fuck alone!"

"Get the fuck up."

"What?!" She glares at her brother.

"And watch that tone."

Suzie angrily stands and folds her hands over her chest.

"You too dimples,get up,you're coming with me."

"What?" I ask,shock evident in my voice.

"You heard me just fine,now get your ass up and walk in front of me."

When I don't move,he straightens and I swallow the lump that formed in my throat.

"Do you have a problem with that?" His eyes glare to slits.

"N-no." I get to my feet and grab Suzie's arm as if she would protect me from her brother.

Will watches my steps as I stumble. Shit,the whiskey was hitting faster than I thought,I didn't think it got to me this much because I was sitting down. Will's eyes go to the glass making me blurt.

"It was just two glasses,they weren't full."

His eyes find mine and narrow.

"Move."

Will grounded us at the vip area that's surrounded with thick ropes,a guy who was left to watch over us hasn't moved an inch. Instead of siting,we stubbornly stand there with crossed arms. After what feels like hours,he comes back with a shirtless and sweaty Jaime. I feel Suzie shift beside me,without saying a word, Jaime jumps the rope and stares down at both of us.

"When are you going to fucking learn your lesson hmm?" His eyes shift between the both of us.

Why me? I'm not his little sister or his friend's sister,how dare he try to order me around.

"What did I say about you coming here?"

"Don't tell me what to do Jaime, you're not my 'King' like you are to all those sluts of yours, so why don't you just go to your new woman." She snarles up at him and he looks down at her with a blank expression.

I back away a few steps. Did I hear that right? Jaime is King? As in the guy Mia is obsessing over? Well that would explain why Suzie dislikes her and maybe Mia is under the impression that she's Jaime's sister?

My thoughts come to a halt when I'm pulled with force from where I'm standing.

"Hey!" I try to free myself but the hold on me is too strong,all I can see is a black hoodie as I'm dragged away to the back of the vip second. I scream for the person I know would get me out of this creep's hold.

"Will!" There's no answer so I look back and scream again. "Will!" My eyes find Will's,I thought he didn't see what happened because he was busy talking to the bodyguard,while Jaime and Suzie were pretty occupied,but disappointment hits me when I find him watching me being dragged away with a smirk.

Right. Why would he care about my safety anyway? we're not friends or anything,I'm his sister's nuisance friend.

I'm slammed against the wall,the force making a hiss escape my lips. He tears the hood off his head and then flips the cap that's casting a shadow over his face backwards.

"Logan," I whisper,it's been awhile since i last saw him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to find my friend who your friend," I jab a finger in the middle of his chest, "has been using to do dirty shit for him just because she likes him."

"Fuck your friend." My jaw almost hits the floor with how he just dismissed my friend's feelings.

"You're an asshole!" My ears heat with anger. "Tell your friend to leave my best friend alone. You leave me alone."

He keeps staring at me without saying a single word.

"I mean it Logan." We hold eye contact as silence falls upon us,my heart squeezes at how painfully handsome the bastard is.

"Fuck." He cursez then slams his lips on mine.

Logan kisses me with an urgency and hunger that leaves my brain mushy,my legs feel like Jello as his tongue explores the roof of my mouth then slaps and dances against my tongue. A small tingle starts at my core making my thighs clench and a small moan escapes my lips.

When he pulls back,my lips feel sore and my breaths come out shallow.

He places his palms on each side of me against the wall,caging me. I frown,why do I feel like I want him to kiss me again? No,no Millie.

I push at his chest and he lets me.

"Go out with me."

"What?" I look up at him, maybe I didn't hear him right?

"Let me take you out Millie."
