*D.d barbing saloon*
4:00pm...
Stella and Melinda were looking at an album that contains a lot of hair style, two of the boys were busy while the rest were chilling. The boss was not around.
"I like really love this style," Melinda said with a smile.
"Hmm. Just looking at it, i feel like barbing my hair," Stella said.
"What?! No.. your hair is too long and pretty for it to be cut off," Melinda said.
"But.. But i like this style..," Stella formed a sad face. Melinda sternly shook her head and Stella began to fake tears.
"Seriously?," Melinda began to pet her. Just then, someone came in.
"Need a hair cut," he said as he removed his cap and stared at himself in the mirror.
"I'll do it!," Stella and Melinda said simultaneously, but Stella pushed her and went to the guy.
When he faced her, they were surprised.
"Hey!," Miguel said with a smile.
"You! Em.. Miguel, right?," Stella asked. He was the senior she bumbed into the other time in the field.
"Yeah. How are you doing, Stella?," Miguel asked.
"I'm fine. You look.. Good," Stella said with a smile.
"Uh,Thanks!," Miguel said.
Melinda and other barbers were shocked. Did Stella just complimented a guy?
Melinda took her phone and snap them, then she send to the girl's group chat.
"Do you work here?," he asked.
"Yes! Don't tell me you're cutting your long hair?," Stella asked.
"Well, I'm maintaining my hair length and it has just gotten longer, so i need a small cut on the tips and a little styling," he said.
"Okay sit, I'll do it," Stella said and he sat down while Stella touch and admire his hair.
"Are you gonna start or keep falling for my hair?," Miguel asked as he chuckled.
"I'll start," Stella said with a wide smile.
*Cafe*
"Hey girl!," Xoxo waved when she saw Bella. Elsa and Xoxo walked to her.
"Girls!," Bella beamed when she saw them.
"Who is this?," Elsa asked as she stared at Mavis who immediately greeted them. He had recognized them as *The Wiss*. Good thing too many people weren't around or they would have rushed to them.
"This is Mavis, my new boyfriend," Bella said with a smile. Mavis looked at her in shock. Did he just hear boyfriend?
"Really?!," the girls said in shock and they began to look at Mavis up and down.
"Mavvy, meet my best friends. Elsa and Xoxo," Bella said.
"Nice to meet you," Mavis said and he bend down his head in a shy state.
"What happened to Vincent? I thought you like him," Xoxo asked.
"I'm tired of that playboy," Bella hissed. The girls stared at her.
"What the hell are you doing with this-," Elsa got interrupted by Xoxo's palm on her mouth.
"Nice meeting you cutie, have fun. We'll be right there," Xoxo said and pulled Elsa to an empty table.
"Are you okay?," Bella touched Mavis chin who was dazed with a sad face.
"Yes...," Mavis forced a smile.
"You don't need to mind them, i like you still," Bella said.
"Thanks," Mavis smiled.
Just then Bella received a text from her mother.
💬Make sure to be home soon, we are having dinner at your in-laws house💬
Bella just sighed and drank her milkshake.
Elsa and Xoxo were watching from their side.
"So, of all the boys around, Bella decided to mingle with a poor rat," Elsa shook her head.
"Elsa..how can you talk like that? He seems good and he's handsome," Xoxo said.
"Now that i looked at it, he really looks a lot like you," Elsa said.
"Really?," Xoxo asked in surprise as she turned to look at Mavis again.
"He looks like me?," Xoxo asked again but Elsa was smiling as she thought about something.
Since Bella isn't with Vince anymore, she could have her free chance with him and also confess her love for him. She giggled as she thought about it.

6:00pm...
The barbers just closed from work. Stella was outside chatting with Miguel who was around all along.
"Stellie..?," Melinda called to inform her that she was going but Stella just waved without looking at her.
"Like seriously?," Melinda sighed and went to her car before she drove off.
Miguel was laughing as Stella spoke to him.
"Honestly, you look like a prince. Your new name should be Prince, get use to it," Stella said with a smile.
"Then who is my princess?," Miguel asked.
"Uh.., i dunno. Do you.. have a girlfriend?," Stella slowly asked.
"Nope, I'm single. I just haven't found the right girl yet," Miguel said.
"Oh.. Me too," Stella said and Miguel looked at her in shock.
"Really? You don't have a boyfriend?," he asked.
"Yeah... Why are you looking so shocked?," Stella asked as she chuckled.
"It's surprising," Miguel muttered. "But I'm glad, maybe you could be my princess," he added as he held her chin. Stella looked at him as she blushed.
Meanwhile, Vincent just finished his filming for today and he drove to see Stella, he even bought flowers.
His car was at a distance when he saw Stella with a guy. He recognized the senior.
Vince felt hurt to see her smiling at him and letting him touch her chin. He frown as he stared at them.
He got distracted by the notification sound from his phone.
💬Come home today for dinner! It's an order💬 It was from his mom.
When he looked back at them, he saw his hand already on Stella's waist, it made Vince breathe out in anger. He was red in jealousy when Stella kissed his cheek. Vince looked away as he hissed.
"What's wrong with me? Why am i even bothering myself?! This is insane," Vince said as he stoke his hair backward, he took the flowers and throw it by the side of the road.
"Okay, don't look at her, drive home now," Vince said to himself as he started his car. But he couldn't help but look at her before he drove off.
"Let me drop you home," Miguel said.
"Sure Prince!," Stella said and the both of them walked to his car.
*Skyler's Mansion*
Vince walked through the royal-like family house and maids kept greeting as they bowed. Vince just nod at them.
"He is so f**king cute!," one of them squealed with a low voice when he wasn't there.
"Like what the hell?! I'm always tripping when I'm working and seeing him around. Too bad he doesn't stay at home recently," another one said with a sad voice.
"Anyway, I'm following *The H.Ws* on Instagram and they have announced that they are releasing another song soon," Another one giggled.
*****
Vince rolled his eyes when he saw Bella and her mother.
"Good evening family!," Vincent greeted as he sat down next to Bella.
"About time, we were about to start eating," Mrs Jasmine said and Vince just glanced at her as he began eat.
"Bro, are you okay?," Becky asked. She had noticed his mood.
"I'm fine baby sis," Vincent smiled, but he was still thinking of Stella and the senior.
"Why do i feel that my son-in-law is becoming more handsome by the days?," Mrs Susan asked as she stared at Vince with a smile. Vincent shot her a look when he heard 'son-in-law'.
"I'm sorry what?," Vince asked.
"You're getting engaged next month, dear," Mrs Susan said.
Vince eyes widen and he almost choked. He quickly drank water and cleaned his mouth. Becky held her laugh.
"As you can see Suzzy, my son is very compatible with Bella. They will really fit each other," Mrs Jasmine said to cover up Vince's behavior.
"Son, you haven't spoken to Bella," Mr Kai said.
"Oh... How are you doing Bella?," Vince asked.
"I'm good," Bella said without looking at him as she ate her food. She wasn't even paying attention to them.
Vince had noticed that she was no longer coming to him of texting him the way she does before. What happened to the clingy Bella?
"What happened to 'apple' you use to call her? Show some love!," Mrs Jasmine said while Mrs Susan smiled.
Vince sigh as he faced Bella, he took her spoon from her hand.
"Hey!," Bella said.
"Let me feed you, my apple," Vincent said as he took a spoon full of rice and brought it to her mouth. "Apple, say ahh...," Vince said to her. Bella forced a smile as she slowly opened her mouth. Vince feed her and she ate it.
"Awwn, my apple is blushing," Vincent joked.
"What? No I'm not!," Bella said.
"You are!," Vince said.
"I'm not! Don't argue with me," Bella said with a serious voice but they ended up laughing.
"This reminds me of our youth," Mr Kai said to Jasmine.
"Yeah, me too honey," Mrs Jasmine smiled.
Mrs Susan was smiling as she took pictures of Vince and Bella. Becky was just watching them.
"Becky, i have a close nephew who is a young business mogul. How about i introduce him to you some time?I can prepare your own engagement," Mrs Susan asked.
This time, it was Becky who almost choked.
"No! I mean, i already have someone i like. No need Aunty," Becky said with a forced smile and Mrs Susan nodded. She continued taking photos as she smiled.
"Nothing will stop me from seeing to their marriage," Mrs Susan said inwardly referring to Bella and Vince.
