Chapter 42 - settlement

Alex went back to the party about to leave, she couldn't believe that Mika was right. She was going straight to tell Jeremy about it but Jeremy was no where to be found. Mika went to the counter to have some juice.

" You're the delivery guy" Mika said

" And you are?" Douglas asked

" Tomika Richard, I'm Tiffany sister" she said

" Oh"

" Yeah, she talks about you a lot."

" Really?, what she say?"

" I don't really know much, just knows she's always mentioning you to Angela"

" I thought you're sisters"

" Yeah, so?"

" I heard sisters are meant to be very close"

" Well, not us. At least not anymore, she's always busy with her own things. She barely talks to me, just focus on her football team, ballet team and all"

" Football and ballet?, that's two different combinations"

" I know right"

" She can't be that busy to neglect her own sister."

" You think?"

" have you ever gone to her and she neglected you"

" Not really, I don't go to her"

" So you're just guessing, how will you know if you don't give it a try"

" Is it really worth it, I mean I have friends I share things with"

" Is that really enough, I mean they are done things she's meant to know"

" Like?"

" I don't know, you must have changed over the years and she needs to know how her little sister feels about her now"

" If you say so. You might have a chance with her, she's into you"

" Sorry to disturb but Mika I need a minute" Alex said coming to drag Mika away.

" Yeah, What's up?" Mika asked

" Where is Jere?" Alex asked

" I don't know, he should be around here somewhere.... I thought you were still angry"

" Of course I am, but it's urgent "

" What's it?"

" I saw Connor and Tara kiss"

" I knew something was up, how are you feeling?"

" Me?, I'm good. Why would you ask me that?"

" I thought you liked the birthday boy"

" No, no I don't"

" You don't?" Jeremy said as he stood behind them

" No, I don't. What made you guys think that?" Alex asked

" You know, you were smiling around him and blushing" Mika said

" Okay, you need to get your eyes checked" Alex said

" She just like to say things, same thing she said about Tara and Connor" Jeremy said

" Yeah, about that.."

" About that, don't you think they make good friends... Just like us" Mika said interrupting Alex

" Yeah, we are sorry Alex. You're right, we should have at least tried" Jeremy said to Alex

" Yeah, we are sorry." Mika said

" It's fine but..."

" Good, finally we're back together. How about a drink to celebrate" Mika said interrupting Alex again

" I have some drinks in my place, shall we?" Jeremy said

" Yeah sure, we're right behind you" Alex said

" Okay" jeremy said leaving

" What was that?" Alex asked

" What was what?" Mika said

" Why were you trying to stop me from telling about Tara and Connor" Alex said

" Don't you see how happy he is you're finally back to us, we don't want to break his heart immediately. At least let him enjoy the night, he's so happy " Mika said

" Fine, but he has to know. "

" Yeah, we will tell him some other day"

" Some other day?"

" Yeah"

" How about Tommorow"

" Fine tommorow"

" Okay then" Alex said as they left as well.

Cyma and Kiara stood drinking as they watched others and Leo passed by then to meet vinny.

" Okay, I don't what is going on with you two but you've got to sort it out" cyma said

" Yeah, you're right" Kiara said as stood up

She took in deep breaths as she walked up to him

" Hey" she said

" You..."

" Before you say anything, I just want you to know that you've done enough. I don't know what I did wrong but you can't just keep saying hurtful words you know. I'm also a human with feelings...."

" I'm sorry" he said

" I shouldn't have treated you that way, I took out my anger on you for something that want your fault, for something you basic know nothing about. I'm sorry, I crossed the line, Insulted you and even chased you out. I shouldn't have, I acted like a total jerk"he added

" Yeah a big one in fact" she said

" I'm sorry" he said

" Well, it's not much of a big deal. You said it out of anger so it's fine" she said

" Hey" Vinny said joining cyma

" Do you think they'll settle?" Cyma asked referring to kiara and Leo

" Yeah, Leo should have realized his mistake" Vinny said

" Um"

" What's up with you?"he asked

" Me?" She asked confused

" Yeah, you look like something is on your mind. I mean something is bothering you"

" No"

" Talk to me"

" It's nothing"

" Is this about Leo?"

" What do you mean?"

" I kind of overheard you and Leo talking on the rooftop"

" So you're eavesdropping now"

" I didn't intend to"

" Whatever"

" You should tell Tyler about it if it's bothering you"

" No way"

" I know Tyler, it won't be a big deal... Trust me"

" No, I can't"

" It's best you tell him than someone else"

" What do you mean?"

" What if I wasn't the only one who was present when you were talking with Leo"

" What do you mean?"

" I was Jenna there as well, she was lying there at the back of the wall" he said

" Fuck!"

" Cyma, you know what to do" Vinny said leaving

" Hey" cyma said walking up to Tyler

" What's up?" Tyler asked

" Ummm..... I .... I have something to tell you"

" What's that?"

" I... Um... I kind of hooked up with Leo"

" What?"

" I can explain, it was a long time ago and I wasn't sure if we were still a thing and all, so..."

" So what?, that's your excuse. You don't know if we were still a thing?. Wow" Tyler said and cyma was speechless and Tyler stormed out.

" Hey, is everything okay?" Kiara asked approaching cyma with Vinny and Leo

" No, I told you it was a bad idea" cyma said to Vinny before leaving

" What's up?" Leo asked

" I told her to tell Tyler about you two "

" And that didn't go well I guess"

" I'll go talk to him"

" Do you think that's a good idea"

" No, but it's worth a try" Leo said leaving

" Hey man" Leo said as he found Tyler outside

" Um... About cyma.." Leo was saying before he received a punch on his face

" I guess I deserved that" Leo said

" What do you want?" He asked

" Look, I'm just here to talk okay"

" You knew about me and cyma and you still chose to screw her up?" Tyler yelled

" I didn't, I didn't know.. I mean it was before you and cyma. It happened a long time ago, we were the only teen in the same geng so we just hooked up. It was a one time thing, and when I saw her some days back.. you know old memories and all. She was just acting as a good friend trying to comfort me but I messed up" Leo said

" I mean she really likes you, she told me some days back that she's in love with you and I guess you're the right guy for her. There's nothing going on between us, and if I know you guys had a thing ... I wouldn't even have thought of it. I'm so sorry" Leo added

" Well, you've done it already so sorry can't solve anything"

" You're a lucky guy, I'll give you that. You see a girl that loves you this much to even tell you the truth even if it would cost your hate but she still went ahead with it anyway and you're here getting angry about it. Fine, I know you're hurt about it but you guys weren't even together yet so why make such a big deal out of it" Leo said

" Look, if I had a girl like cyma in my life who is caring, supportive and God fearing with a little touch of baddie.. my life won't be this way .. I guess. Cherish what you have, or you'll regret letting he go. I guess you know what to do" Leo added before leaving

Cyma was sitting outside drinking, she already had many bottles. She brought out her lighter to light her smoke but someone collected it from her. She turned and saw Tyler standing before her

" Don't" he said sitting beside her

" Why do you care?" She said collecting it from him

" Seriously?, now you're acting angry"

" Of course I am. You didn't even give me a chance to explain myself, I could have hid the truth from you if I wanted you know"

" Yeah, but you didnt"

" Exactly, I didn't. I came to tell you about it but instead of you to listen you just stormed out"

" So now I'm at fault"

" Kind of"

" I wasn't the one who cheated"

" Excuse me, you can call me other things apart from a cheater"

" That's what you did"

" First of all, we weren't together then. I mean we were on a break. Second of all, I'm sorry"

" I know you are"

" Where is your own apology?"

" My apology?"

" Yeah"

" For what exactly?" He asked and she gave him a stern look

" Fine, i'm sorry for not doing anything wrong" he said

" That's not an apology" she said laughing and he pinned his lips to hers.

" Shall we?" He asked stretching his hand out to her as he broke the kiss
