Umbrie and Kieran walked down the stairs, they spent a long time together upstairs that it's already evening. They did not even know Mr and Mrs Diaz are already in the house. Kieran saw his mother sitting in the living room when he got down with Umbrie.
"Mom? You're home already?" He asked still surprised.
They did promised they will reduce their work load and create time for their own son. They have been coming home early so far and giving him much attention.
She smiled, "Yes darling... Oh hello Umbrie."
Umbrie bowed a bit, "Hello ma'am... I didn't know you were home."
"Oh I've been home since alright. I wanted to come call him but I found out you're so busy so I decided not to disturb you. You both must be having a great time." She winked at Umbrie.
"Umm... Yes ma'am. You've been here the whole time?"
"Yes, I've been here."
Umbrie felt like entering the ground after her mate's mom let her know that. She never expected that they'll be home, she felt a bit embarrassed and shy. She looked at Kieran who is giving her an evil smirk. She felt like wiping the smirk out of his face.
She thought of how Mrs Diaz and her husband must have heard her screaming. Her face turned tomato red I'm embarrassment.
"You should stay for dinner dear, it's almost ready." Mrs Diaz offered.
"Umm... Ma'am..." Umbrie thought of how uncomfortable she may be eating with them today. Perhaps another day would be better, she looked at Kieran for help.
Kieran already saw her state and cry for help. He decided to cut in.
"She's not eating dinner here today, mom. She has very important things to do at home, or her mom will get mad at her. Let her go, maybe tomorrow." He pulled Umbrie out before his mother could say anything.
Umbrie kicked him as soon as they got outside. "Ouch! What was that for?" He whined.
"That's for being a jerk! Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was? How am I supposed to face them now?" She pouted folding her arms.
"I'm sorry baby, but you're too beautiful that I can't resist you."
She blushed hard hearing this.
"You know, she didn't mention anything about hearing you scream. You can be rest assured that we are free to do this again whenever we want. It can be tomorrow..."
She kicked him again before he could complete his statement.
"Don't you dare dream of touching me again for a month! You're such a pervert!" She sneered at him and walked away.
"Come on, don't be so harsh on me. I know you love this pervert, besides we'll be married one day and we are going to do this everyday." He emphasized making her more annoyed.
"I think I should spend a month in Dubai till you come back to your senses. You're not okay as I can see..." She stomped away leaving him behind while he trailed behind her.
"Wait up baby! You can't escape this no matter how you try to run."

SKIP TIME
Tiana watched from afar as Jared and Daphne came out of the apartment. She got angry at the thought that they just had a great time. She stayed there with two of her friends, Emma and Alice. She invited them over to take a good look at Daphne after following Jared around.
"That's her. Her name is Daphne. I've seen her a couple of times with his sister, I think they're best friends. This must be a plot with his sister to get rid of me." Tiana told them.
"That's the bitch? Geez I'm so disappointed." Emma pointed showing how pissed she is.
"She's not even as hot or pretty as you. How can he choose her over you? Is he blind or what? You've got it all, what's he doing with her?" Alice added rolling her eyes.
"I can't believe he'll leave me this way and think that I'm fine with it. How can I be fine with living in misery without him? I just realized that I want him badly with me and no one else." Tiana lamented sadly.
"Then he's going to be yours again once we can get her out of the way. He'll surely come back to you begging on his knees for letting go of a precious gem like you." Alice assured her.
"Then we should be quick to get her out of the way. I don't like seeing her face at all. I wish I could just strangle her right now." Emma gritted her teeth.
"You both should calm down a bit. I have got the perfect plan to get her out of the way. All I need is your approval Tiana." Alice suggested.
"What is it?" Tiana asked eagerly.
Alice brought them close and whispered to their ears. Tiana smiled as she loved the idea, she was very happy and sure it would work out right.
"I'm going to reward you girls for this help. I can't wait to get him back, I miss him a lot." Tiana said excited.
She did not care if what she will do to get him back is wrong or right. She just wants him back at all costs. Even if it means forcibly getting Daphne out of the way.

Daphne stood in front of her house holding hands with Jared. She was still a bit shy after what happened. She wished to sleep over but her stepmom texted her to be home for something important. Jared caressed her hair, gazing at her with a smile.
"You don't have to be shy with me anymore. We're dating now, you should be free." He told her.
She nodded and looked at him, "Well... I'm just... I don't know what to say after today..."
"You don't like it?" He asked teasingly.
"No, of course I do... I mean... I'm just shy a bit. Now that I've done IT, I suddenly feel like doing it with you everytime."
He looked at her amused, "Are you flirting with me right now?"
"Does it look like that? It doesn't matter. You're my boyfriend now, I should flirt with you more so you don't think I am that boring." She played with his shirt a bit.
"Tell me my sister has not been feeding you with crazy things. I've been suspecting that since you came today." He inquired.
She laughed, "You think your sister's the only one with a dirty mind? She's not teaching me anything.... She is actually learning from me."
"Daphne?" They heard someone call from behind.
It's her cousin brother, William, she palmed her face at how annoying he's going to be.
"What do you want William?" She rolled her eyes.
"Who is this Daphne?" Jared and William asked at the same time.
"This is my cousin brother William and William, this is Jared my..."
"Boyfriend? You finally got a boyfriend?" William cuts her off.
"Yes? What's with that tone William? Why do you sound surprised that I have a boyfriend?"
"Considering the fact that you look like a potato, it would be hard for you to get a boyfriend. I guess you're lucky this time around. Nice to meet you Jared." William shook hands with him.
"Same." Jared said with a smile.
William nodded, "I'll leave you two to it. I am on my way out, I think you and your step mom will stay alone in the house tonight. Bye."
Daphne scoffed, "Like I care."
William walked away while she faced Jared again.
"Don't mind him, he can be quite annoying but he has done nothing but treat me like his sister since he got here." Daphne explained.
"You don't need to explain anything. My sister and I are also like that. She may be annoying but I still love her no matter what, even if I don't say it to her often. I'm glad you are happy here. After you told me about your father, I have been worried. But seeing they treat you well, I guess I can be rest assured then."
Daphne hugged him, "You should go back now. Let's continue our conversation on the phone. I had a great time today. I can't wait to see you tomorrow."
"The feeling is mutual." He pulled away and kissed her. "You should head in first before I leave. There's nothing to worry about for me, you go ahead."
He thought about telling her about himself tomorrow now that they trust each other. It won't be good if she finds out later than now.
"I have something important to tell you tomorrow." He announced.
She became curious, "Why don't you tell me now? Is it something serious?"
"No spoilers, I'll tell you tomorrow. Go ahead now." He urged her in.
She gave him another hug and peck before heading inside, not without looking back to wave at him. Jared only walked away when he saw her go inside.
