The new boy's secret

Chapter 9

Milo Hudson

POV

After leaving the Club I went to pick up my ma... I needed a shower... A cold one... That green eyed temptress looked hot in that shirt and knee high boots... To be honest I've never felt this way with a girl before, it used to take intense foreplay to get me hard... Because I always went for the more sexually experienced girls...

I drove for about a minute and I noticed a car following me... I recognized Cece immediately... I knew she wasn't dangerous so I didn't pay much attention to her... I want to see what she wants... I stopped in front of the hospital... Ma was standing with a bunch of other nurses that shifts ended as well... Ma approached the car... She gets in...

"Good evening Mi"

"Hello ma... How was work?"

"Good... How was school?"

"Good ma... I have to take care of a fake baby other than that I'm good..."

Ma nods and I start the car

"I got a call today"

"From?"

"An insurance company"

"How much do we owe?"

"Nah ma... Mason he left us some money... I spoke to my boss and he recommended investing it, we doing good right now most of Sienna's hospital bills are paid for and most of our bills back in Texas are paid off... So I was considering investing it so Micah can go to a University she would want to go to..."

Ma said nothing... She became mute... I looked over and she was nodding at me... And started talking

"Mi you know, you don't have to be a doctor to make me and Mason proud right? I don't think you should study medicine"

I look at my mother in disbelief...

"What are you talking about ma?"

"I want you to study business instead... Mi you've got a good business head on you, you love crunching numbers, you even do our taxes for us, so son I'm asking you to give up on that stupid promise of following in Mason's footsteps, you're not Mason, I need you to get that, I need you to be my Milo Hudson, my only son... I also need you to let go of the promise of not moving on, you should date, but not date to just date, but date with a purpose, you're not breaking your promise if you're not screwing around"

I let my mothers words sink in... I've tried so hard to become Mason so my mother and sister could depend on me... I promised Mason to be responsible, to be reliable and to be a doctor... I can't break those promises...

I shake my head and grip the steering wheel so hard that it hurts...

"Milo don't think of it as breaking a promise... Mason would want you to live your life and if investing and starting your own business is what makes you happy than do it baby... Milo you've wasted so much of your teenage years working to provide for your sister and I... Now its your turn to live a little... Start small like dating..."

"Ma you just want grandkids right?" I joke

"I want my only son to be happy, and to have a woman that loves, respects, prays and supports you"

I relax... My mother's is somewhat right... I won't be breaking a promise if I'm not screwing around...

I hate that it made me excited to see Cece... And then I remembered her following me... I look in the mirror she's at two cars behind me, she's terrible at tailing I noticed her right away...

She really needs to calm down... but thinking of her driving in that mini shirt dress is turning me on in ways you won't understand... The way it would pull up if she presses breaks or accelerate... I needed to get my mind out of the gutter, I have ma sitting next to me... I need to relax... We pulled up at our apartments drive way...

"Think about what I said Milo"

I nodded... And got out of the car... We headed up and I went to shower... I put on a grey sweatpants, a white T-shirt and a pair of white Nike air 270... I grab an apple and head out for my run...

"Milo" I look up at Micah

"What's up Butterfly?"

"Do you think I could go back to Texas for a weekend?"

"Why?"

"I want to visit Mason's grave"

"You'll have to ask Ma, if she says yes, I'll book your flight okay?" I say to her

She smiles and nods walking away... It was a genuine smile not the fake one she normally walks around with... I know she misses him... I do too... He was my big brother the guy I looked up to.

I was about to head out when I remembered my earphones in the car, so I grab my keys and head down... I get to my car when my phone rings... Its an unknown number...

"Hey???"

"Hi... Urh its Cece"

Cece? Where the hell did she get my number? This is absolutely creepy...

"What's up Celina Myles?"

"Do you perhaps have, have our fake baby?"

"No... I thought you did"

Seriously day 1 and she already lost the baby? I don't care if its fake, you still need to take care of it...

"I think I left it at school in the hall room after we saw our teacher having action with my cousin"

"Do you have a way to get into the school after hours to get it or are you going to wait till tomorrow morning"

"Yeah... I mean I do have a key"

"Why do you have a key?"

"Because sometimes for cheer practice I need to be at school at 5a.m"

"Okay I'll meet you at the school in a few..."

"Okay..."

I hung up started my car and pulled out of the driveway...

The drive was peaceful... She wasn't following me, so I took a longer way to it, I needed to put gas in my car so I stopped at gas station and filled up my tank... I switched on the radio and connected my phone via Bluetooth... My songs started playing...

When I was done filling my tank I drove to the school and when I pulled up I saw Cece pulling up behind me... I parked my car and got out... She parked next to me and got out... She had a VW T-Cross... You could see it was brand new...

She got out...

"Hey... Sorry about this..." She said making her way to me...

I nod... crossing my arms...

"Can I ask you something?" She asks standing in front of me

"Sure" I nod

"Don't you get tired of being someone you're not?" Her question throws me off guard...

"You don't need glasses your eye sight is fine... You aren't a nerd, you might be crazy smart, but you trying way too hard to pretend you a nerd"

She motions for my glasses

"I'm not wearing my glasses because I was heading out for a run, and I just don't want to fit in, I'm not trying to be a nerd... I just want to finish school get on with my life..."

She nods

"Let's head in..." She says

We walk towards the double doors... She unlocks the door and it opens... Then there's a gate on the inside that needs fingerprint... And then she turns the Alarm off...

"Why is the school this secure?" I ask

"They hold a lot of valuable pieces here, like a few really expensive art pieces are here on loan from a museum... And we have the state of the art technology on loan from the government so those things need to be kept safe..." She says as we walk to towards our classes...

"Can I ask you something?" I ask

"Okay?"

"Why do you look lonely?"

She stops and looks at me...

"Like I mean you have all this people around you how could you be lonely..."

She nods...

"I live alone with my 12 year old brother, my sister lives out of state, my parents are in LA and only comes home for birthday's our business in New York other than that I don't see them"

"I'm sorry..."

"Its okay... I basically raised myself and my brother Ryder"

I nod...

She continues walking we make it to the hall way and she opens the door and goes to get the doll... I wait outside the secret room...

She comes back holding the doll...

"Come on let's go..." She says

I nod and follow her out of the building... She locks up...

"Thank you for coming with me..."

"Its cool"

"I hate being in the building alone it freaks me out... It makes weird noises and its just creepy"

That makes me laugh... She acts like a tough cookie but is scared of noises...

"Don't laugh... I was really scared okay?"

I smile and nod...

"I'll take her tonight then you take her tomorrow?" She says...

"I can't I'm working the night shift tomorrow I'll only get home at around 5 a.m"

"Wanna take her for the night? And then I take her tomorrow night?"

"Okay... Sure I'll take her tonight..."

She hands me the fake baby...

"Bye... Thanks again..."

I nod... I walk her to her car and open the door for her... She gets in and I close it for her... She pulls out and waves one last time before leaving... I get into my car place the doll in the back seat... And I drive home... I can't help but think how easy it is to talk to her, how hard it is to not hug her and tell her everything is going to be okay... I honestly need to think it through if I really want to be in a relationship with her...
