Chapter 28
Leigh-Ann’s POV
Still, in my confused state, I looked further and that was when I noticed something blue. Could it be Stiles?
My heartbeat skipped when Stiles got out of the driver’s seat but my attention wasn’t on him as I peered into the car. No one seemed to be inside, meaning he was alone. Thank goodness!
“Isn’t that the guy I saw with one of the brothers?” Ariana asked, looking fixed at him and I sighed. Did she really have to remember everything that had happened the other day? “And why is he coming this way?”
I turned to look at Stiles as he approached us but it was too late to give him a signal. Even if I did, he wouldn’t understand what was up.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Um… that was… that was his twin ” I stuttered and itched my nape. Stiles finally got over and it looked like Ariana didn’t hear me because she was lost staring at him.
I used that opportunity to wink at him but he arched his brows in response. Gosh, can this get easier?
“He’s got a twin brother, right Stiles?” I said and asked, hoping I’ll get Ariana’s attention and be done with this.
“Hey… are you okay?” Stiles asked Ariana and I covered the side of my face with my hand. Oh god!
“Yeah… yeah, sure” Ariana stuttered with her face turning pink already. Okay, nice try.
“You were the guy with one of the K-Brothers, right?” Ariana asked while I signaled Stiles by shaking my head negatively, indicating “No” Gosh, wasn’t this girl hearing all that I said about Stiles having a twin? She had just been lost staring at him, Urgh!
“Have we met before?” Stiles asked Ariana and I rolled my eyes. Just shut the fuck up and act like you know nothing. I felt like screaming out but I had to calm myself and play cool.
“It wasn’t him” I cut in “He… um… has a twin who works for one of the brothers. That’s what you told me, right Stiles?”
“Yeah” Stiles chipped in “His name is Miles”
Gosh, I thought he couldn’t get this straight but wait, Stiles… Miles… sounds like rhyming schemes. Nice try Stiles.
“Oh,” Ariana mouthed “So are you two… is he?”
“Um… he’s…”
“I’m her driver,” Stiles said at once and I frowned. Huh? Driver?
“Yeah and we um… have to leave now, bye,” I said and walked off immediately not wanting another round from Ariana.
“You look sooo cute. I love your hair, jeez! Can we take a picture?” I heard from behind and turned to look. Whatever.
Stiles walked past me and opened the front door like he knew I wanted to sit at the back. I got in while he turned over to the driver’s seat.
“What the hell was that?” He asked and revved the engine.
“It doesn’t matter” I answered brusquely and looked out of the window. “Where are the brothers?”
“Um… they had an important meeting so they left earlier.”
I didn’t say anything as I focused outside the window, enjoying the way the cool breeze touched my face.
“Are you seriously ashamed of being a maid huh?”
“I never said that”
“Then what’s up with the cooking you tried to dish out?” Stiles asked and I shot him a stare. Why doesn’t he just mind his business? He wasn’t even looking my way. He just focused on the road.
“So tell me. Am I to stamp the name ‘Maid’ on my forehead huh?” He didn’t respond but chuckled lightly while I looked away. So annoying.
“I get you don’t want everyone to laugh at you, especially the girls who could be such a pest.” He said, making me frown. Okay, Whatever. I didn’t wanna talk about it anymore.
“But I’ve got no problem with being a driver, you know. I could tell anyone I’m a driver and trust me, it won’t hurt”
Well, that’s guys. They were practically shameless but not all. Most ladies got easily ashamed and wouldn’t wanna get laughed at or mocked by everyone.
“Heard you lost your parents. How’d you survive alone,” he suddenly asked. I turned at once and caught him staring at me.
“Excuse you?” I huffed irritably cause the fuck, he was getting on my nerves already.
“I just had to ask”
“Oh, fuck me, mister. Do you go around poking into other people’s affairs huh?” I snapped while he touched his forehead and then turned to face me. He had this apologetic look on but hell yeah, I didn’t care.
“Am sorry I…”
“Not another word” I snapped and relaxed on the chair wishing we never had the conversation. To tell you, sometimes I’m always hurt when people talk about me losing my parents or how I survived.
It’s been hard since I lost them and sometimes, I feel the people asking felt pity for me but in this case, I feel Stiles is just humoring me. Lots of guys back then used to humor me with it, especially those I didn’t accept to be their girlfriends.

Finally, we arrived and I got out of the car immediately. I needed to be alone at the moment.
The first person I saw was Maerie and instantly, I recalled what she said about liking Stiles. Oh yeah, she likes him a lot.
I wanted to know if what Maerie had said about him being uninterested in other girls was true then I remembered I hadn’t even thanked him for the drugs he had sent some days ago.
“Um… thanks for the drugs you sent through Maerie. They helped a lot”
“That was four days ago” He replied and tucked both hands inside his pocket. Damn, four fucking days ago, my bad! “But I’m glad I was of help. You look a lot better”
“Maerie’s one of the best I’ve come to meet. She’s nice, can you imagine?” I said and looked towards Maerie and he did the same. I was sure to use the keyword “Maerie”. I just wanted to get words from him anyway.
“And she’s beautiful. Beautiful Maerie” I added and turned to look at him. He looked off from Maerie and didn’t say a word. Hm, what’s going on in that head of his?
“I’ve been wondering why you gave her the drugs to give to me. You like her don’t you? Don’t tell me I’m the only one that likes her”
Gosh, the question sounded silly even to me but I just wanted to know if he liked Maerie in any way so I’ll know what to say to her when she comes sulking again.
“I like someone else” He muttered and walked off before I could say any more words. Wow, that’s weird.
It didn’t come out clearly but I had heard him say he liked someone. But who could it be if not Maerie who is head over heels for him?
