The whole squad had gathered near the university main ground early in the morning. They were starting by seven in the morning and it was just an hour drive from here to Greenwich and another twenty minutes to reach Emma’s house.“So, what are we waiting for? Shall we start?” Emma asked excitedly. She was thrilled about taking her friends to her home. She had texted her parents a list of items that should be prepared for breakfast, lunch and dinner while they were there.“Liam will reach now. He is on his way.” Zian said and Zada’s face brightened up at that.“Liam is coming? He said he had some other engagement, right?” Emil asked in confusion.“He changed his mind it seems. He called me a while ago and told me that he would be joining us after all.” Zian said and Zada was too happy at that news.The last few days, Liam had stayed out of her sight, never attending her phone calls. It had driven her mad.Zahir stared at Zada’s bright smile suspiciously. All his protective brother anten

Emma’s cheeks were in a permanent state of being puffed up, since Mila came. It was so very clear that Emma was annoyed."Hey, look who's here!" Gianna exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as Mila entered the room."Ugh, it's the little monster," Emma muttered under her breath, though her annoyance was met with amused glances from her friends.Mila was like a shadow behind Gianna, following her around, asking cute questions, making Gianna smile from time to time.No wonder Emma is jealous. Ever since they reached, Gianna has only been a typical strict mom. Zian felt a bit of anger towards Gianna for making Emma feel she isn’t enough.Admittedly, Daniel Hart has spoiled his little girl rotten and Gianna only seems to compensate for that by being a bit strict, but Emma isn’t mature enough to understand that.To those listening, Emma’s jealousy only seems funny, but Zian could clearly see the deep insecurity behind it.Mila, however, seemed unfazed by Emma's irritation. She marched over to th

Spending two absolutely beautiful days in Emma's hometown, the squad returned reenergized for their university. The laughter they had shared, the memories they had created – all of it had solidified their bond even further. With the scent of nostalgia hanging in the air, they eagerly resumed their academic routines, their minds still filled with the warmth of the moments they had cherished together.A week passed by quickly, and the squad members found themselves occupied with helping the girls settle into their chosen apartment. Furniture was moved, shelves were organised, and endless debates ensued about where each picture frame should be placed on the wall. Amidst the chaos, they shared laughter, a few playful arguments, and even managed to cook up a meal together that could only be described as ‘experimental’ and resulted in what you could call a ‘disaster.’The weekend approached, and the Langston twins received a call summoning them back home. Emma, tagged along, eager to mee

“Do you want to come up and have coffee?” Zada asked, her heart racing. She knew what she was doing and she was ready for it. She knew Liam would wait however long she wanted. And now she trusts him completely. All her insecurities are gone. And she is ready to take the next step in their relationship.“Uh I would love to.” Liam said, nervous for the very first time in his life.He parked the motorcycle in the apartment parking slot and with his heart, making a tattoo against his ribcage, he followed Zada towards the elevator, not knowing the storm that was coming their way.As Zada and Liam stepped into the elevator, a comfortable silence hung in the air, filled with anticipation and a hint of excitement. The soft hum of the elevator's machinery was the only sound between them, but their eyes spoke volumes. Zada couldn't help but steal glances at Liam, admiring the way his dark hair slightly tousled in the wind, and the faint hint of a smile tugging at his lips.Liam, on the other ha

“Don’t press the doorbell. We want to surprise Zada. Open the door with the passcode.” Zahir said and Emily rolled her eyes."Oh, how brilliant, Zahir! Because I totally didn't know that pressing the doorbell might alert Zada to our presence. Thank you for that groundbreaking insight."Zahir smirked. "You're welcome, Emily. Always here to educate you on the finer points of subtlety."Zahir quickly entered the passcode when Emma shared it, and the door quietly clicked open."Wow, Zahir, I am amazed at your secret agent skills." Emily couldn't help but mutter sarcastically under her breath. "Well, Emily, some of us have a natural talent for espionage. It's a gift." Zahir shot her a mock-innocent look.As they stepped inside the apartment, Emily couldn't help but glance around, taking in their surroundings. The plan was to surprise Zada, and that meant tiptoeing around and avoiding any loud noises. Zahir led the way, moving stealthily toward the living room. Others followed, their silen
