CHAPTER 30: Bad BF

The cup fell to the ground before shattering into pieces. He saw that she enjoyed the sight in front of her"pick up those pieces"she said before leaving.

He got down to pick up the pieces when someone else also joined in " careful and don't cut yourself"mia adviced "she's mean" the little boy said

mia raised her hand before running her hand through his hair. After picking up the pieces of glasses,mia took Carl by the hand before as she took him away from that place. They then heard noise after they passed by a room.

Curious mia turned to peep at the door that was slightly opened"there's no way I'm treating that illegitimate child like you want me to" ivy retorted. She was arguing with her her husband.

Mia stared at Carl before deciding to take him away from there."okay?"she asked wanting know what Carl was thinking about. "do you want to see something new?" she asked seeing that he did not reply and she could how his eyes was full of curiosity as he nodded.

She took him to a particular place in the house before bringing out her laptop"I'm sure you like games" she said "of course I do"he replied. But instead of playing a game ,mia showed him how to create one which was quiet fun as they would share silly ideas on the game. Mia knows how Carl felt being called the illegitimate child and she didn't want him to feel lonely and that was why she keeps him company. It was one of the things that cheers her up and somehow she knew it would do the same for Carl.

Mia took a sip of the drink "thought you said you would stay in touch with me"

"I got really busy so I couldn't call" he replied

Both had alot of catching up to do,he was like a younger brother to mia"that's not an excuse" mia replied

"how'd you find me?" mia asked curious,"someone I know helped"he smiled and Mia nodded"father invited me home" he then said. Mia wondered why he would invite his son,he had never took care of him as he should have. Even his step mum and sister didn't treat him right.Now she questioned if he called Carl out of love or something else.

Mia didn't want to ask the reason for the invite and Carl knew that well so he decided to change the topic"I'm going to be here for a long time"he said

"how long?"mia questioned as he didn't give her a specific time "long enough for me to attend your graduation"he beaned further lightening up the mood. "should I be expecting a graduation gift?"she asked to see Carl smiling in assurance

"you also have gaming company apart from the other one you told me about right?" mia asked to confirm and Carl nodded in response"do you have any game you are currently working on?*she asked to see Carl nod and a smile graced her lips.

Carl was now confused as to why she asked that."I'm sure you can do me a small favor" mia looked as if she was planning something mischievous and Carl knew that's how she is but after not seeing her for a long time ,he noticed she hadn't changed but her character just became more extra. He wouldn't want to refuse mia after all she had done a lot for him and she rarely asks for favours.

They bid themselves good bye and Mia decided to go to her house instead of Ryan's mansion. She felt nostalgic as she missed her home,now her mum wasn't in the country as she is being treated. The house was filled with a lot of memories and Mia looked around the house that gave her the peace she always felt in it.

She went to her room to take her drawing material,mia felt she needs to practice her drawing a little more but with all that was happening she completely forgot about it. After spending a few more minutes there ,she went back to the mansion.

As she got there she noticed Ryan wasn't anywhere in sight so she concluded that he must be busy. Jason was not also home leaving her with Lucy who was delighted that there were no boys around and she could ask mia anything she wants.

Lucy who is sometimes straight forward was thinking whether or not mia would be offended if she asked silly questions. As she didn't know mia deeply she doesn't know her likes and dislikes. Her questions always offended her parents and it was only Ryan who never complained about her"but you'll never know without trying" she convinced herself.

"I can ask you anything right?" she asked "him" mia replied as Lucy placed her head on the former lap who didn't mind the action at all."how did you guys meet?" she asked her first question "and where?" she quickly added. Mia thought back to the first time she met Ryan ,for her her day didn't go right that day"we met at a restaurant it was sorta..." she paused looking for the perfect word that can fill in the space

"weird?" Lucy said "yeah you can say that"mia nodded and saw how Lucy's smile got wider. Mia found her to be childish just like Alexa.

Lucy closed her eyes thinking of another question to asked ,she knew she should have written them down"why didn't she?"

"I'll only ask to more questions and ask the rest of them tomorrow as I can't remember them anymore" says Lucy "how did you guys ended up dating? did big brother propose or was it you?"

Mia wanted to avoid answering that question but then she thought"Ryan was the one who ask for her to be his contract girlfriend so in a way he did propose"

"he did" she said and Lucy was slightly surprised."how was your first kiss?"she then asked. "why does she have to ask this of all questions?"mia thought as she plots a way to avoid it. She thought of what to say when she was interupted by her phone's continuous beeping. She could see numerous messages from her phone,most of it coming from Alex and Hannah.

She did read the text as she decided to do it later,she also got a notification that her. downloads are completed that got her excited.

Lucy stood up to see mia scrolling through her downloads at this time she had forgotten about the question she asked Mia. Part of the downloads were movies and Lucy excitedly agreed to watch it with Mia.

It was fun having someone like mia and Lucy felt like she has found the big sister she always wanted. Not having anything to do and with Ryan and Jason not home,they watch five different movies in a row . After watching the five, both yawned at the same time and Lucy wasted no time in falling asleep then followed by mia.

It was later that the two brother's arrived to meet both Lucy and Mia asleep on the couch.

Mia woke up to find herself in her room,she checked the time to realize that it was late in the morning. She had slept late the other night which resulted in her waking up late. She remembered sleeping downstairs"Ryan must have carried her to the room" mia thought as she got out from bed to go straight to the bathroom.

She changed her clothes to a casual one after having her bath. As she didn't have classes today,she decided to stay at home. Her breakfast was brought up to her room so she didn't eat with the rest of the family.

"good morning"Lucy greeted cheerfully as she pulled mia to sit"did have a good rest?" Jason was the one to ask this question.
