DO YOU WANT IT OR NOT?

"How long's the drive?" I asked while getting out of the water.

"Two hours. Pretty sure Lian and Beth would kill us for this," he replied as we get back to the car. He handed me the towel to dry myself. A sudden realization hit me.

"Dyl, I forgot. I didn't bring any extra clothes."

"I brought your checkered blouse, short and underwear, that you left in my house," he answered.

"Thanks! So where will I change?" I shouted in delight.

"Well, you can change here outside." Is he out of his mind? I would never change there.

"Hell no! Someone might see my oh so sexy body," I said tracing my curves with my hands, and raising my eyebrows at him.

"Sexy? Hah! Are you serious?" he said laughing.

"Well, I'm a model! Men would kill for this badeh," I said confidently.

"Well, I wouldn't," he stated seriously.

"Uh! Who wouldn't?" I exclaimed offended by his remark.

"Me." he pointed at himself. "I wouldn't kill for that body, it's already mine," he replied, showing that perfect set of teeth.

"Whatever!" I replied pushing him away from the car and closing the door. I searched for the clothes in the back seat and changed my outfit then I got out and look for him. Stepping out of the car, I wandered to find him. Just seconds later, I could feel arms wrapping around my waist. Smelling the familiar scent, I didn't protest and just let it stay there.

"You know, we could get back here every week or once a week and start building that tiny house of yours," he whispered in my ear.

"Just mine? I'd want it to be ours. We'll build it together, right?" I replied getting out of his hug. I walked a little and drag him to the spot where I want the tiny house to be.

"Here, in this part. In this exact spot. A tiny house will rise. Made from hard work, joy and love," I stated like a man giving a vow on his soon-to-be-built business building. Dylan just laughed at my statement.

This is just perfect. He didn't notice me walking up to him. He's pretty unaware of my act which totally surprised him. I just couldn't thank him even more. I guess just saying 'Thank You' will never be enough. After breaking the kiss, I held his hand guiding him back to the car. I went inside the car leaving him standing outside.

"In here? Are you sure?" I could clearly see the confusion all over his face.

"Well, Mr. Haydes. Do you want it or not?" I asked smirking at his reaction.

"Oh, forget it," he replied as he went inside, closing the door. I heartfully gave him my token of appreciation.

"You do really have a habit on playing with the strands of my hair? At least tell me, if you want to have a hair like this," I said feeling the comfort it gives me. I could feel him respond at my statement as my pillow slightly vibrated.

"Hey! I'm just thankful that I have you. I do this to make sure that I have you here with me. It's some sort of a sign," he said after his slight laugh.

"You'll never lose me. I promise, I'll stay. Whatever happens," I replied cuddling even more to his chest.

"Dyl, what time is it?" I asked as the thought of the photoshoot strikes.

I felt him move a little.

"It's exactly 9," he replied holding his phone enough for us to see it.

"We won't make it. I'll call Lian", I said getting my phone. I dialed my manager's number, putting it in the loud speaker. Just after a ring, it was immediately answered.

"Malia, where the hell on earth are you? You should be here by now", I could already picture her face right now.

"Lian, about that. I can't go to that photoshoot. I'm so sorry. I'm not really feeling well," I said pretending to sound sick.

"What? You should've at least told me sooner," I could hear her shout.

"I'm so sorry, Lian, but I just woke up," I answered pretending to be weak.

"Okay. I'm going there after I settle everything here," she replied calmer this time.

"You don't have to. I already have some company," I answered back.

"Okay. Just get well, bye." She replied ending the call.

"Well, that went good. My turn," Dylan said before dialling Beth's number and putting it on speaker.

"Dylan, where are you? I sure hope that you're already on your way here," I could hear Beth's calm voice on the other line.

"Beth. I'm sorry. I can't go to the photoshoot," he replied saying the same thing.

"And why is that, Mister?" I can picture her raising her eyebrows.

"I'm feeling sick," he tried pretending to sound sick, which really sucks that even I wouldn't believe it… Just then a brilliant idea popped into my head.

"You are feeling sick?" I could hear Beth sounding like an interrogating mum.

"Babe, who is that?" I said using a slutty morning voice making sure Beth heard it.

"Dylan! who the hell was that?" Beth is like whispering shouting on the other line. Dylan startled out at the sound. He mouthed me 'What the heck'. I just smiled at him.

"Babe, turn that phone off and let's go take another round," I said sounding even more like a slut.

"Dylan. What the heck? Did you go clubbing again and hook up with some random girl? I swear I will not clear this another mess if some paparazzi had followed you--" I could feel the intensity on her voice.

"I'll talk later. Bye, Beth", he said ending the call. As if that's the cue, I let out my laugh.

"What the hell did you do that for?" he said drifting his attention at me, but not in an angry manner.

"It's just - hahahahaha - just --funny," I said laughing in between my sentence.

"Let's take a picture," I said while setting up my phone. We took several shots and went out of the car.

"Can we buy a hectare of land here? I think owning the land where we would build our home should be the first thing we should do for us to live here in peace." Well, I know we should've at least buy a lot. We can't just build a house here.

"We could drop by the town hall on our way home."

"Yeah, let's go later," I responded showing my agreement.

"Malia, you're lucky. Dylan couldn't make it to the photoshoot. Anyway, I'll drop by later. We have some important matters to discuss," I read the message out loud.

"Hmm... What could be that I.M?" thinking on what we may talk about.

"Hello! Busy? So, who's the lucky guy? Kent?" I looked over to the girl and squealed in shock.

"Terra!!! OMG!! I missed you!!" I squealed jumping up to her.

"Lia! Not so tight! You're killing me." I instantly let go of her.

"So, who are you texting? Kent?" she asked.

"Kent, No! I-i mean yes. It's Kent." Shit. I'm so dead. Why did Lian made me do it?

"Sorry. I didn't tell I was coming. It's a surprise," she apologized.

"Well, you did surprise me. I was just leaving," I replied. I miss her. Really.

Getting her into this whole lie really sucks. Fake dating Kent is just so stressing. There are even more paparazzi. I barely even have time for Dylan, but he understands. I know he understands. I must do this. Lian said it's for publicity, but for me. I just need to do this to avoid issues.

"Let's go out. We need to catch up", She said as I grab my purse and started walking out of the photoshoot.

"I have plans. I'm sorry" I feel bad that I have to lie to my bestfriend.

"Oh... With Kent?" Why does it always have to be Kent?

"No. With Dyl, but I think I'll cancel it for you. Do you have a ride? ", I said then smiled.

"Oh. I really love you!!", she hugged me.

"I don't have a ride though", she replied. Just then a car stopped in front of us.

"Come in," I said dragging her inside.

"Hey, Dylan." Terra greeted.

"Ey, Terra. How's New York?", he asked.

"It was good. Dylan, is it okay if I borrow your cousin? Just for today, you know I miss her so much. Please," I could sense the eagerness in her voice. I just laughed at her.

"It's okay she's all yours!! So where will I drop you off, you two? at the mall?" he said laughing.

"Oh My God!! You really know us too much!! Thank you!" she responded.

"Just don't shout. I might take her back", he joked.

"Okay. Just thank you, Dylan. You! Miss! We have so much to talk about," she then shifted her attention at me.

"Okay. We have the whole night for that. You can stay over." I really miss this girl.

"OMG! I missed you so so much", she just couldn't suppress her joy.

"Your voice," Dylan warned.

"Sorry, I'm just excited," she apologized.

"So, call me if you need a ride." Dylan said as we got out of the car.

"Yea. Call you," I replied. We started walking away but I couldn't take it. I ran back to the car and knocked. I quickly got in and gave him a kiss. I just can't get enough of him.

"Love you," I whispered enough for him to hear it, and got out of the car.

I waited for him to drove off.

"Why did you get back?" Terra inspected.

"Just forgot my phone," I said showing my phone.

"Oh! Well then, let's go. Shoooopping!!" she shouted and ran. She's weird.
