Laiya's pov
It felt like no one else was around, just us two dancing to the sound of Tylers upbeat yet calming and soothing music
"Can I get a kiss?" he whispered along with the song
"And can you make it last forever?" I replied along with the song
"Of course" he said back moving his hand to my cheek and pressing his soft lips onto mine, like two connecting puzzle pieces.
I was brought right out of my trans to the sound of someone speaking in a seductive tone
"Hey rooley wanna get a drink with me" the girl said making both our heads turn... Mary
"No I am busy, can't you see" Ruel replied whilst I stayed silent
"Oh come on babe you know you want one... and I know you miss me" she said putting her hand on his chest
I stood their totally in shock looking from Mary to Ruel then to the rest of the group who was sitting down watching the whole thing
"Mary don't touch me, I don't like you and haven't liked you for like I don't know... A YEAR AND A FUCKING HALF" he said pushing her hand off him
"Oh god you sound so sexy when you raise your voice" she said biting her lips
"Can you not take a hint?" I said to Mary in a small but powerful voice
"He doesn't want you, he wants me" she said bending down to look at my face
"MARY leave them alone" Sunday and Samson yelled pulling her back whilst Ruel took my hand and pulled me into a hug
"What has gotten into you Mary?" Ruel asked shaking his head
"YOU, YOU HAVE GOTTEN INTO ME" she said raising her voice
The group had brought us out to the backyard so that no one could here our conversation though with Mary's screaming America probably could have heard it
"what do you mean?!" Ruel said slightly annoyed
"WE are meant to be together not you and the slut" she said pointing to me
"2 things mary.. FIRST IS THAT LAIYA IS NOT A SLUT SHE IS INFACT VERY FAR FROM IT" he said looking at Mary dead in the eyes making her scoff "And two we liked each other nearly two years ago and we both agreed that we were better as friends.. you were able to date people and I was fine with that and now that I have found someone who makes me genuinely happy, inspired to write music and feel like a normal person you can't be happy or at least support me?!"
"Ruel you can't just say that your feelings for me have completely disappeared just because that has entered your life" she said pointing to me
"Mary all feelings that I ever felt for you disappeared a long time ago... and that has a name and it is Laiya" he said mocking her tone from before "and Laiya Is my beautiful, kind and loving GIRLFRIEND" He said interlocking our fingers
"You really downgraded... come on guys lets leave" she said turning away and looking at our group who were in just as much shock as I was
"No... we refuse to hang around someone who is so petty and jealous and brings other girls down just to make themselves feel better" Bodhi says gaining yeas from Samson and Sunday
"Bella come one lets leave these fuckwits" she said rolling her eyes
"I'm going to stay with them" she said walking over to all of us
"Your gonna regret this" Mary chuckled
"And Mary... don't try to talk to any of us until you have apologized to us especially Laiya" Ruel said shaking his head whilst Mary strutted off
"Woah... crazy woman" Bodhi said
"You can say that again" Bella said
"Maccas run?" I said looking at all of them making them laugh
"Yesssss" Sunday and bella said interlocking our arms
"Laiya speaks our language" Samson says
"Yea I need maccas right about now" Ruel said
"Yea I'm always down.. wanna walk to the one down the road" Bodhi said as we started walking out of the house
The group walked ahead whilst Ruel and I stayed behind holding hands and walking in comfortable silence
"Thank you" I whispered still looking straight ahead
"For what" Ruel questioned
"For standing up for me" I said squeezing his hand
"It is what a boyfriend is for besides cuddles and kissed of course" Ruel chuckled
"I feel bad though" I said quietly
"why?"
"Well because this is my fault" I spoke looking at him
"Laiya this is not your fault Mary is always jealous whenever I am around girls even if they are just my friends, we liked each other like a year and a half ago though we never dated... I was too busy making music and wasn't ready to be in a relationship and she was too clingy and controlling, once I had released a few songs like 'don't tell me' and 'say' my career was starting to pick up and she wasn't letting me do my job like go to meetings or go the studio so I decided to tell her that I couldn't be in a relationship with her. We both decided that we were not meant for each other so we agreed on just staying as friends" Ruel explained looking over at me everyone in a while
"wow thats crazy" I said looking back at the group that were 10 meters ahead
"Yea she was able to move on and date other people and though it hurt the first time since it was so soon I gradually lost feeling it took like 2 months but over time they were completely gone and due to the fact that she was in a relationship I assumed that her feelings had disappeared too. Don't let any of the words that she said effect you, because to me you are the most amazing girl that I have ever met and you make me genuinely happy and feel like a normal person" Ruel said pulling me into a hug
"I wont... but if you ever feel that I am distracting you or are too controlling please tell me, I don't want to distract you" I said
"Laiya you aren't distracting me you are inspiring me.. yesterday and today at the studio I was able to wright multiple new songs for a new EP that I am making"
"EP?! that's amazing" I said grabbing his arm
"Yea it is pretty cool.. I'm releasing it pretty soon once we finish up the editing of the songs.. that just means I may be at the studio a little bit more"
"Ruel that is no problem you have a job to do and one that is your dream I couldn't be prouder" I exclaim
"Thank you Lay" he said kissing my forehead
"I have a surprise for you however I can't tell you until I know for sure... so like in 2 weeks maybe" I said
"No please tell me" he whined
"Nope not yet"
"ugh okkk its good news right" Ruel asked
"Ruel if this goes the way I hope it does it could totally change my life for the better" I said
"Oh god then I hope it goes the way you want it too"
"Me too"
"HEY LOVEBIRDS HURRY UP WE ARE HUNGRY" Sunday screamed
"We're coming" I yelled then looked over at Ruel who was giggling making me realize what I had said
"Thats what she said" Bella yelled
