CELEBRITY PLAYBOY - CHAPTER 47&48

“Yes!!! Yes!!!!!!!” Hazel screamed ecstatically.

“You’re not the one getting the ring, girl” Livia laughed.

“I’m just so happy for mum” Hazel replied, tears of joy escaping her eyes already.

Kenzie pulled her to his side, gluing her there and stroking her hair.

She looked up at him, and they smiled at each other before looking back at the center.

Maria already received the ring, and it’s sitting prettily on her ring finger.

She kissed Thiago deeply, and Hazel joined Livia and Austin this time in screaming out madly.

Kenzie had to snap pictures of them too since it’s so fuçking beautiful.

Maria is an emotional person just like Hazel, so when they broke the kiss, she was already shedding tears of joy too.

Thiago wiped them though, and they hugged tightly.

“Gosh! Meaning I’m attending a wedding before returning to school? I can’t wait!” Livia jumped.

“The wedding plans starts now!” Austin replied, and Hazel smiled widely, just staring at her beautiful mother in Thiago’s arms.

She went back to Kenzie, and he held her waist firmly as she looked up at him.

“She’s so beautiful, my mum” she muttered, and he kissed her forehead.

“You got the gene from her” he said, and she chuckled before hugging him.

Livia and Austin faced each other and hugged dramatically too.

*

NEXT DAY, LORRA HOTEL*

“Cheers!” Hope raised a glass.

“Cheers!” The rest clinked theirs with it, and they drank at once.

Prada is in the middle of the room, eating crunchy food from his feeding plate.

“So the wedding is in a week? I can’t believe we have to extend our break for another week” Miguel said.

“Don’t worry, we’ll catch up on the courses when we get back” Natty replied.

“I believe everyone has their tickets for the concert tomorrow already ” Livia said.

“What? Are you gonna beat whoever fails to buy or something?” Eminem attacked.

“Of course! It’s my baby sister’s first concert!” Livia rolled eyes, and everyone laughed.

“You should give us a sneak to the title of the song yunno?” Lee said.

“Not allowed, please…wait till tomorrow or nothing ” Hazel replied from Kenzie’s laps.

They’re sitting separately from the others.

“Says the clingy girlfriend who won’t give her boyfriend any breathing space at all” Natty said jokingly.

“Wh@??ver” Hazel replied, kissing Kenzie’s hair.

“My lips aren’t unavailable yunno? I h@?? head kisses” he groaned.

“But I love them, douche. Get used to it for me” she replied, and he smiled, then they kissed on the lips.

When they broke it, they saw all eyes on them, everyone has the one kinda look on their faces, and they began laughing.

“You said something about the Alpha brothers. Can we meet them? On FaceTime or something?” Miguel asked.

“Oh…” Kenzie replied and got his phone.

He dialled ki||ian’s line, but he didn’t pick.

“He must he busy” he muttered, but then ki||ian called back.

Immediately his face appeared on screen, Lee gasped.

“What! He’s intimidating…his charisma!”

“Seems the boy is back to track. How did the drama go?” ki||ian asked firmly.

“His attitude!” Natty gushed, and Lee smiled awkwardly.

“I’m thinking of switching to arts at this rate” Kenzie replied, and ki||ian grinned.

“Nice to meet you” Hazel said.

“Thiago’s daughter? You have a lotta responsibility in the future, you should brace up” ki||ian said.

“Thank you” she smiled.

“Your wife?” Kenzie asked.

“Right beside me” ki||ian replied, shifting the camera to Zinnia’s face.

She’s currently B??@š?feeding her babies!

“Fûck! She put to bed already?” Kenzie gasped shockingly.

“Just last week. Meet Tyla and Tyler. Our third and fourth child” ki||ian replied, happiness radiating in his eyes as he took little Tyla (the girl) from Zinnia.

“She’s so cute!” Hazel gushed.

The camera went to little Tyler’s face too, and she almost entered the screen.

“He’s gorgeous, I wanna have twins too!” She gushed, and Kenzie grinned.

“Congratulations, you two” he said.

“Thank you, and nice to meet you…pretty Hazel. Hope to meet you someday ” Zinnia replied.

“My first college break will be in Italy, I promise ” Hazel said.

“Cool” Zinnia smiled.

“Yo! Is that my godson?” Hardin appeared on screen, and Kenzie’s smile grew.

“You adopted him too?” Zinnia blinked

“Shouldn’t you thank me for giving you a junior?” Hardin said proudly, and Kenzie laughed.

“d@mn, come to Italy soon” Hardin said.

“Sure” Kenzie smiled.

The appearance of Jordan and Zade made the smile widen.

“Hey boy!” Jordan winked.

“Dude” Zade squinted

“I’ll call often” Kenzie replied

“Maybe someday, my first baby will get married to one of the twins” Hazel said.

“Can’t wait, Hazel” Zinnia replied.

“Soon, Captain” ki||ian said.

“Sure, Wildfire” Kenzie replied, and the call went off.

“Fûck! They’re one of a kind” Eminem said.

“I know, right?” Austin replied.

Lee walked out of the room immediately though, and Natty followed him.

She caught up at the hall, and she pulled him back.

“What’s up?” She blinked.

“Do you like the ki||ian man? You were complimenting his attitude earlier” he said, tears brimming at the corner of his eyes already.

“No… Lee, gawd! It was a harmless compliment, doesn’t mean i have a crush on him or anything. He’s married and he’s like fifteen years older!” She said quickly.

“I thought I lost my chance” he replied, sniffling as he wiped his tears.

Natty smiled and took his hand away then wiped the rest of the tears.

“You’re immature” she said.

“I won’t jump into conclusions again, I promise” he quickly said, and she brought the dreamcatcher doll out of her pocket.

“The next time you do, I’ll return this to you” she said jokingly, and he smiled.

“I really won’t do it again”

“And…you don’t have to turn eighteen…” She said, and his eyes snapped up

Before he could breathe out, she raised his chin with her pointer finger, and his eyes widened when she leaned in

The moment her lips touched his lips, he fainted on the ground.

“Lee!” She shouted, kneeling beside him.

He opened his eyes slowly.

“Am I dreaming?”

“Fûck, he’s cute” she laughed as he sat up.

“It’s real” he muttered, and she leaned in once again.

This time, he closed his eyes as their lips met, and she smiled into his mouth.

*

Livia and Eminem took their talk out of the room too, into Eminem’s room.

She fell on the bed when they arrived, and he fell beside her, laying down

“What did you study?” She asked.

“Psychology with Ken” he replied, and she lay beside him.

“Interesting, I’m in arts” she said.

“And you like it there?”

“Of course, silly. I chose it because I like it” she laughed.

“Yunno…your dad is a mafia, so I was thinking…

“Thinking he’d make us go for business? He doesn’t impose things on us” she interrupted.

“Great” he said, and she faced him.

“What?”

“Meaning he won’t impose marriage on you in the future too” he said.

“Wait…are you planning to marry me?” She sat up.

“What’s wrong with that?” He sat up too.

“You didn’t even ask me to date you and you’re already talking marriage?” She frowned.

“Is it bad? I’m very forward ” he shrugged, and she laughed.

“Of course!”

“I’m serious ” he said.

She faced him, and he leaned in.

His lips met hers, and she spranged up, her cheeks so red.

“We should date” he said.

“Why is it so hot suddenly?” She began fanning herself with her hand as she rushed out of the room.

“Livia” Eminem went after her.

*

BACK IN THE LIVING ROOM*

Hazel is currently sleeping on Kenzie’s chest on the couch, and while he’s stroking her hair with an hand, he’s pressing his phone with the other.

Hope and Miguel are sitting beside each other on the opposite couch…

“So you’re Natty’s ex?” Hope talked.

“Yeah” he replied.

“Why did you break up?” She asked.

“I wanted a break, and…

“And you broke her heart?” She cut him off.

“Nope, she wasn’t hurt cos she obviously needed the break too. We started dating because we mistakenly fuçked after we got drunk one night, not exactly because we fell in love ” he replied.

“It was a pity date then” she said.

“Sort of” he replied, and she smiled slightly.

She looked at him and saw him smiling too, but just when they were about to talk, the doorbell rang.

Hope quickly went to get it, and she was shocked to see Amber by the door.

“Hey…how did you…

“I asked dad, and he gave me info about this place. I mean no harm though, tomorrow is the concert and I feel like staying with you guys before then” Amber interrupted.

“But we agreed to meet at the studio tonight” Hope replied.

“I know, but…I’m the lonely and…

“You can come in” Hazel’s voice interrupted, and Hope turned to see her awake in Kenzie’s arms already.

Amber smiled.

*

5PM, PENNY’S PLACE*

Penny’s parents couldn’t believe their eyes when Hazel’s car pulled up in front of their house.

She came out with guards, escorted by Livia and Austin.

“You came” the mother said.

Hazel nodded as she walked into the house, and the father started crying.

She had to hug them individually to calm them down.

They’re good people, even if their daughter fuçked up real bad

She entered Penny’s room, and Penny’s eyes widened on her wheelchair.

“Hazel!”

She tried standing from her wheelchair but it’s impossible, and she started crying.

“Hazel I swear I’m sorry…I regret every single thing I did. I regret it all trust me. I couldn’t sleep nor function well since then, I couldn’t do anything. I’m…

“How have you been?” Hazel asked in a hush, and another tear fell from Penny’s eyes.

Hazel sighed and made to go close to her, but Livia pulled her back.

“Dad said you can only talk from a distance” she said.

“I know, just this once” Hazel replied, and she reluctantly let go.

Hazel started going closer and closer to Penny, and at each step she took, the memories of their childhood plays stormed her head.

She almost started crying, but she held it back.

She remembered how she was allowed to stay in this house with her mum when they were chased out of the shack, and when she took her out to beg, and…

Then when she tricked her into the Mart to get ki||ed.

That single memory made her turn back.

“Hazel!!!” Penny cried out as she rushed out of the room, unable to hold back her tears as she left the house.

Livia and Austin joined her in the car, and Livia started wiping her tears immediately.

“Stop it, she’s not worth it”

“I gave the money envelope to her parents though. It should be enough for them to start afresh” Austin said.

“Thank you” Hazel replied.

“Drive” Livia told the driver, and he obliged.

*

NEXT DAY~7PM, MLG HALL*

The hall has a 15 thousand people capacity, and despite that fact, the concert tickets were sold within one day, so the mad crowd in the hall right now is understandable.

It’s CADENCE first concert in months, their comeback concert, and it’s starting in fifteen minutes.

Obviously, fifty percent of the people in here came because of Hazel, Thiago’s daughter.

The other fifty percent are for Hope and Amber.

The hall is a beehive of loud screams and anticipating yells already, the neon and snowy lights making the atmosphere look chilly and at the same time cool…

The crowd kept swaying, screaming CADENCE every now and then, and the stage is all lit up already, looking ready and all set for the performance.

Everyone of the guys got a seat in the front rows, including Maria and Thiago who’re getting married in days to come.

Kenzie was smiling big in the middle of the crowd, unable to wait any longer for the performance.

His phone dinged in his pocket, and he retrieved it.

It’s a message from the hospital, but before he could read, the stage lights became brighter, and louder deafening screams took over the space as the girls stepped in.

Amber, Hope, and lastly Hazel.

They’re wearing velvet outfits. Short and simple, but detailed and Çüñ?y, and their heels are immaculate white with the jewelries.

Immediately Hazel appeared last, the screams even went on a higher pitch.

She raised her microphone.

“What’s up New York!!!” She screamed, and the hall shook with the response she got from the crowd.

“This is ethereal, feels unreal. Can’t believe my dream finally came true tonight. It has always been my dream to be a part of this band and I finally got it!” She shouted, and another wave of screams hit her.

“And a minute of silence for Erika Wills, the lost member I’m replacing” she continued, and silence ensued in the hall.

It went on for the one minute, and immediately it ended…

“The song is titled COME, dedicated to every broken heart out there” she said.

“Candies scream out!!!” Amber shouted.

“Are you ready to feel some chills?” Hope added, and the scream that followed was accompanied by their intro.

Hazel started the music…

Hazel: I hoped it wasn’t true. I didn’t want to lose you. What if things were going wrong, was our love dying? Though my heart it breaking, I had to turn my back. It hurts less than saying goodbye.

Hope: I’ve never dreamt that you could leave me. I can’t believe you could abandon me. I just can’t stop my feelings which I feel so long.
It’s too late to go back, I belong to you.

Amber: (chorus) oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh… Don’t say I’m too cruel
You should take responsibility for the love you showed me.

Hazel: I hoped that love would never fail me again. I believed you were the man to stay with me forever , but where an I now? I pool of tears. Only despair remains for me…

At this point, Hazel did a mic drop and went low on the ground.

It’s her turn to do the dance she hurt her knees for last month.

Imediately she began doing the smooth energetic dance like a gymnast, the hall turned around, and everyone began screaming once again….

Voices almost broke, and vocal cords almost went severed.

“She’s so precious” Maria said beside Thiago.

“I know, darling” he replied as they watched their treasure with joy.

“That’s my baby sis right there!!!” Livia screamed madly, angling her phone well to capture her clearly.

“Yes!!” Austin joined in, and Natty laughed.

Kenzie was rubbing his lips as he watched, feeling like kissing air out of her lungs as her arse swayed with the music.

She’s addictive!

He slowly darted his eyes to the left when he felt someone touch him.

A girl is standing there, eyeing him seductively.

“My number” she mouthed, passing a paper to him.

Hazel caught a glimpse of what’s happening from the stage, but she kept dancing, though her eyes remained on Kenzie.

Kenzie looked at the paper and just ignored, but immediately he returned his face to the stage, the girl came closer.

She made to secretly insert the paper into his pocket, but Kenzie was sensitive enough to catch her hand.

“You have a death wish?” He glared.

Before anyone could get it, Hazel already came down from the stage, and the screams got madder when she landed in the middle of the crowd, walking with sass with her microphone and singing without missing the beat till she got to Kenzie.

She jerked the girl away from him and gave her the microphone.

“Hold it” she told her frankly, and before the girl could talk, she turned back to Kenzie, stood on her toes, wrapped her arms on his shoulders and kissed him!

“OH MY GAWD!!!”

TBC…
