Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

( MADELYN'S PARTY 1 )

Sydney was already with Mavis, but he hit her hand away when she tried to touch him, then he stood and limped out of the stadium.

"You ok?" Delaney asked Dylan again but he only kept staring with a squeezed face, holding the tummy so tight.

"You have to get to the clinic Dylan" Midas said and took him from Delaney.

He was heaped on his back and together with Trevor, he ran out of the stadium.

Mavis and Dylan were replaced with other juniors, so the match continued.

Delaney continued standing on her spot, wondering about the meaning of what just happened.

She looked at her palms and remembered how she ran into the field when she saw him fall.

"Am I doing this because of Sweeney?" She asked herself before going back to the cheerleading team.

"I see you have a soft spot for Dylan after all" Carina whispered behind her.

"It was cute, I mean the way you ran to him" Gigi whispered, and Delaney gave her a deadly glare.

"Sorry" Gigi muttered.

"What was that?" Paisley asked, and Delaney looked at her .

"He's my baby's father, I did that for Sweeney, not for myself" she replied.

"It better be, and when are you planning to tell him about her?" Paisley asked.

"Soon" Delaney sighed, and they continued cheering.

The Juniors won the game with 2:1, and the match ended after an hour.

Students returned to the locker rooms to prepare for the last class, and after they finished changing, Melinda gasped, looking at her phone.

"Madelyn's invitation is out!"

"Really?" Paisley took it from her, and she smiled when she saw it.

"Who'd make the fake copies?" Carina asked, and they all turned to Delaney.

"Why the eyes?" She asked.

"You're the only one who's going out to your jobs, just make the photocopies please" Carina held her.

"You girls are criminals" Delaney said, and they all laughed as they left the room.

"Need to go to the broadcasting room, I'll meet you guys in class" Paisley excused herself.

"Should we start gathering baby names?" Melinda winked.

"I'm not going there to f**k, b**ch" Paisley giggled, and the girls laughed as they parted ways.

She met Lexi in there already when she stepped in, and he widened his arms.

Paisley hugged him and he tightened it immediately.

"I scored a goal for the seniors" he said.

"I'm proud of you baby" she replied, and he broke the hug.

He kissed her forehead fondly, and she giggled.

"You're so cute" he said.

"I know" she laughed, and he poked her cheek.

"That's cocky"

"Thanks" she laughed again, and he stole a kiss from her lips.

"I love kissing you" he said, and she bit her lip

"Me too" she said slowly, and he leaned in to kiss her.

Paisley responded immediately, and the kiss went deeper as his tongue made it's way to her mouth.

He dived his fingers into her baby hair in no time, and she gasped as he rubbed her waist.

She was imagining him as Leo throughout, but immediately she got back to her senses, she broke the kiss.

"What?" Lexi whispered, obviously craving for more of her lips.

"I...I....the class is starting soon, what's the gift you have for me?" She asked.

He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a shinny box which he opened immediately.

It contains a sparkling necklace, and her eyes shone immediately.

He brought it out and went behind her to fix it on her neck, then he came back to the front and smiled.

"Fits perfectly" he said.

Paisley touched it nervously and looked at him.

"This must be... expensive" she muttered.

Lexi took her hand and kissed it gently

"You're more expensive" he said and kissed her forehead before hugging her.

"Don't ever leave me" he whispered.

*****

Both Dylan and Mavis didn't come for the last class, and Delaney stayed worried throughout.

After the class, she left for her jobs.

She left the coffee shop early cos there wasn't much to do, but immediately she entered Roma restaurant, one of the other servers blocked her.

"Hey Delaney!" She waved cheerfully.

"Emma, hey" Delaney smiled.

"I'll be coming to your school next week Monday, a transfer student from Willow" she winked.

"Really?" Delaney's eyes widened.

"Of course!, I've always wanted to come and now that I've saved enough, I'm coming!" Emma gushed happily.

"Can't wait, see ya on Monday!" Delaney replied before entering the changing room to wear the apron.

"Why is she transferring?" Delaney muttered as she changed.

"Tommorow we'll be closed by 7, we have an outing" the boss announced immediately she came out of the room.

"Outing?" Emma asked.

"Yeah, a very important student is celebrating her birthday at Montana hostel hall tommorow, we're the servers" the boss replied.

"Yes!" Emma screamed happily.

"Madelyn Stewart?" Delaney asked.

"Sure, so be prepared everyone" the boss replied, and Delaney bit her lip.

"Ruined" she muttered.

Just like the coffee shop, she didn't spend much time at the restaurant too, so she made her way to the dry cleaning shop afterwards.

While rushing there, she sighted Mr Addams. He was just coming out of his car that's parked on the other side of the road, then a woman came down with him, same woman she was him with the other time.

She was still staring when Mr Addams looked her way, so she quickly hid behind a car.

"Did he see me?, I hope he didn't" she muttered and continued hiding till he entered a hotel.

She came out and sighed.

"I definitely saw right" she said before proceeding.

She met just few clothes to wash when she arrived at the shop so it was fast

At exactly 8pm, she clocked out and surprisingly met Mavis in front of the shop, waiting for her with a stick of cigar between his lips.

"Mavis" she said, and he moved closer to her after throwing down his cigar.

He leaned in and she bent back.

"What?" She asked with a blink.

"I want ice cream" he said like a kid, and she smiled before pushing his head back.

She got in his car and they drove to the same ice cream shop she took him to the other time.

He went in with her this time, and they got the cup ice creams.

They came out and she faced him.

"I'm sorry.... about your ankle" she said.

"It's ok, though it hurts that you choose Dylan over me back then" he replied.

"It's personal, nothing suspicious" she replied, and he smiled before touching her hair.

"It's fine, my ankle is fine now, it acts up when I use it too much since I had an accident" he replied.

"You had an accident?" She asked.

"Yeah, when I was young" he replied, and she gave him pitiful faces.

"Stop that and let's go" he said, eating from his ice cream before pulling her along.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"The park" he replied as they crossed the road to a park that's just beside it.

"Are we riding the rollercoaster?" She asked.

"You just said my mind" he replied, and they laughed before getting on the coaster.

"Eat your ice cream fast, it'll be wasted if it starts" he said, and they both quickly ate the remaining ice cream in their cups.

Almost immediately, the ride started.

"Whoaaa!!!!!" Delaney screamed, holding Mavis so tight as her hair flew around.

"Enjoying it?" He asked.

"Yess!!!!" She screamed, and he turned his face to her, staring at her throughout.

"You're beautiful Delaney!!!" He shouted, and she looked at him.

"You're a mad smoker Mavis!!!" She screamed, her hair covering her face.

"You drive me crazy" he said.

The ride stopped immediately, and she started staring at him.

He brought his fingers to her hair and arranged it slowly.

"Let's go" he said, pulled her out.

"Thanks for bringing me here" she replied, and he smiled before leaning in.

He gave her cheek a peck but she wiped it immediately.

"Pervert!" She shot, and he laughed shortly.

"I need to make fake copies of the card!" She suddenly gasped.

"Madelyn's birthday card?" He asked.

"How did you know?"

"Common sense" he replied, and she laughed.

"I don't need the fake invite though, our restaurant will be serving there" she said.

"Why your restaurant?"

"Madelyn purposely did it i think, to make everyone know that I'm poor" she replied.

"What if you skip it?" He asked worriedly.

"I'm not ashamed of my job, I'll be fine" she smiled, and he sighed.

He drove her to the cyber cafe where she made the copies, then he started driving her back to the hostel.

They drove past the aquarium, and she winded down to look at it very well.

She was smiling as she stared, and she bit her lip before knowing it as Dylan's face appeared in her head.

She quickly winded down and rested back on the backrest.

Mavis pulled up the car in front of the hostel after ten minutes drive, and she came down.

"Bye!" She waved.

"Sleep like a baby" he replied with a wink, and she smiled before going in.

*****

NEXT DAY★7PM★HOSTEL HALL**

Loud pop songs filled the speakers as students made their way in in twos and threes.

Madelyn lied about the number of invited students cos they're even more than 100, and they're still coming.

The hall is luxury itself, glossy and sleek, the whole of it is sparkling and radiant as students continued pouring in.

A gigantic yellow cake was sitting on a golden table in the front, looking tempting.

Delaney and the other servers were already present even before the party started, serving drinks around .

Paisley was the first to step into the front of the hall, looking so sassy and classy as she walked on her heels.

She's wearing a skimpy gown and slender tall heels, looking hotter than fire. Her hair was packed in a neat ponytail.

Melinda was after her, wearing same thing and rocking ponytail too, looking just as hot.

Carina appeared in a short skirt and armless top, then not so high heels . Her hair is down but curled.

Gigi was last in line. She's wearing a s*xy stretchy gown, hugging her so tightly that her @ss was shaking so bad as she walked.

Her black hair was styled to fall on a shoulder.

The guards couldn't stop staring as they walked hotly to the door, and the other students had to stop to stare.

"Here" they all presented their cards at once.

The guards opened the door so wide for them, and they smiled before stepping in.

"Madelyn and her dogs aren't out yet, let's just drink for now" Melinda said.

"Sure" Paisley replied.

"My girls" Delaney said, coming with a tray of drinks for them.

"I feel so bad that you had to serve sweetheart" Paisley pouted.

"It's my job, can't avoid it baby" she replied.

"But don't lose guard, Madelyn might attack anytime, especially now that you have to follow the customers are always right protocol" Carina said.

"Sure" Delaney smiled as they all picked their drinks.

Delaney continued serving the others, and Paisley suddenly sighted Leo.

He was walking out to the hall balcony, so she followed.

She got there and met him leaning on the rails with a cup of red wine in hand.

She turned to go back, but he spoke..

"I'll leave soon, you don't have to leave because of me" he said, and she stopped.

"Wasn't planning to stay" she said flatly, and he drank from his wine before facing her.

"I'm sorry" he said gently, and she shifted on her foot.

"Calling you ugly was stupid, you should know you're not" he said.

"I'm foolish and stupid at the same time" he said.

"Dumb too" Paisley said.

"Yes, but I'm sorry anyways, I learnt my lesson" he replied and started walking away.

"Why did you ...break up with Gladys?" She suddenly found herself talking, and he stopped to look back.

"She made a fool outta me, with Midas" he said simply, and she continued staring at him.

"Your lipstick is smeared" he said and smiled slightly before leaving.

Paisley quickly got her phone and viewed her face in it. Her lipstick is truly smeared.

She wiped the smeared part and sighed, then she turned to Leo whose backside was still visible as he walked.

"Baby" Lexi came over, and she smiled.

"Lexi"

"You look....s*xy" he said, and she smiled before giving him her hand.

"Thanks boiffy" she said and he kissed her hand before going out with her.

*****

"Delaney OMG!" Emma shouted as they served.

"What?" Delaney asked, turning to her.

"I've been seeing a lotta hot guys in here tonight, but I think he's the hottest" Emma replied, staring at a direction.

Delaney looked that way and saw Dylan who's just coming in with his friends.

Girls are drooling over them as usual.

"Isn't he so cute?, Gosh!, His rosy lips for me!" Emma gushed, tripping all-over Dylan.

Dylan's eyes suddenly fell on Delaney, and Emma gasped

"Delaney he's looking at me!, Gosh!" She gushed, winking at Dylan seductively.

"I'll go serve the new guests" Delaney said and looked at Dylan for one more time before leaving.

"Can't wait to start school next Monday!, I'm in love!" Emma held her chest, still staring at Dylan till he sat.

"F**k" Trevor suddenly said when he saw Melinda.

"These girls are fire, how can they look s*xy at their enemy's party" Midas grinned as a girl sat on his laps.

Melinda's eyes finally caught Trevor's, and she smiled prettily immediately.

"Hey" she waved, and he winked. She blushed heavily and he smiled.

A girl suddenly sat on Dylan's laps.

"Get lost" he glared, and she started leaning in for a kiss but he pushed her away and she staggered.

"Dude!" Midas said.

"Tell her to stay away" Dylan replied bluntly.

Mrs Gregor and Mr Stewart came in at once, and students greeted respectfully as they made their entry.

They were linking arms till they got to the middle where they stopped and started dancing together.

Mavis was one of the last ones to come in. He was smoking as he came, and he never stopped till he sat alone.

"I hate smokes" Delaney said, walking past him.

"A cup of Baron please" he smiled, and she gave him the cup of wine

He took it and threw the cigarette in.

"Whatever" she rolled eyes and walked away.

"So s*xy" Mavis muttered, staring at her everywhere she goes.

The main door of the hall was suddenly opened by two guards, and Madelyn came in arrogantly.

Her gown was imported from Miami, made by the best fashionista over there.

The gown spread as far as some meters away from her, it was dragging after her as she walked, and students made way for her.

She was wearing a jade crown which has 20 written boldly on it. Her earrings and necklace were made of same thing, and her shoes are so rare as usual.

Sydney and Gladys came in after her, using the same door.

A student started clapping, then the rest joined and everyone started clapping till she got to the cake.

"I'll make a toast first" she smiled and faced the servers.

"A glass of McDowell" she said.

That's exactly what Delaney is having on her tray so she rushed to her.

Madelyn was smirking as she took it from the tray.

"A rare toast" she said, pouring the wine on Delaney's face instantly.

Delaney gasped immediately the wine touched her face, and the students did the same.

Dylan and Mavis stood at the same time.

"I'm making my toast on you tonight" Madelyn smiled evilly and snapped her fingers towards Emma.

Emma has like six cups of wine on her tray, so she came closer.

Madelyn took two at once and poured it on Delaney's face.

Delaney closed her eyes as her dress got soaked, and everyone gasped again.

Mavis and Dylan started coming at a time.

Madelyn got two glasses again and was about to pour when they got to them.

Mavis hugged Delaney and the wine poured on him instead. Dylan held Madelyn's hand.

"Stop!, you look stupid" he said glared, and she smiled.

"You made me this way, and I'm not stopping anytime soon. I love you Dylan" she replied and suddenly drew him closer by the hand he's holding.

"And i'm taking my birthday gift right now" she whispered and smashed her lips on his own. Dylan's eyes widened.

Delaney swallowed hard.
