SHAYLA'S P.O.V
"I can't believe it! He- you- you told him you would show him your paintings! You- I- sweet giblets!" Caira exclaimed in half-desperation, half-excitement as she made various hand gestures through the video call.
"Caira babe, I think it is time for my demise, at last." Easton mumbled dramatically, a hand over his heart. "Shayla has been bitten by the love bug!"
"Guys, will you stop?" I chuckled, flipping them off through the call. "It is just.. he has a writer's heart, you know? He gets me, somehow, and I.. just.. uh. You know."
Easton & Caira gave me knowing grins and I shook my head. "Pft. Anyways, have you all noticed the thing going on between Wes & Bryan?"
"Oh yes, they are probably screwing each other's brains out." Eason mumbled, popping a peanut in his mouth.
Caira sighed,"I think I would love to witness that."

Bryan mumbled, as he set his cup of tea aside & I settled into the seat in front of him, shoving two biscuits into my mouth at record speed."Cameron left his wallet here yesternight. I am going to his house to return it." I replied, curving my fingers around his porcelain cup and pulling it towards me, washing down the biscuits with a huge gulp of tea."You are going out to return something to someone who left it here?" Bryan spoke in disbelief and I ran my hand through my hair for the last time, a shot of relief passing through me as I took a last glance at myself. Excellent."Yes.

SHAYLA'S P.O.VI struggled to get out words from my mouth at the sudden appearance of Stan – and by the dirty gleam in Amber's eyes, I barely doubted that Stan's invitation here was all merely just a coincidence.I would go out on a limb and say that Amber had planned all of this.I could feel the anxious feeling forming knots in my stomach, but the feeling of Cameron's thumb rubbing soothing circles on the skin of my waist – through the flimsy material of my dress, sure did help calm my nerves."Oh, Stanley." I smiled at him sweetly, wiggling slightly so that Cameron's arm would rest firmly on my waist and would be purely on display. "Fancy meeting you here."Stanley stammered, searching for words but ended up mumbling a rushed 'yeah'. "So, you're Amber's date, hm? Sweet." I asked, sipping on my flute of non-alcoholic champagne to hide my smile that had blossomed at Amber's reaction to my calm demeanour.Aw, poor girl really thought I would freak out and run this time as well.
