章 284: Awkward silence

"I'm glad you are having fun." James said into the phone when he spoke with Mia that evening.

"I never said I was having fun." She countered. 

"Well, I thought when I called, you'll be in your room as usual, but it sounds like you went out to party, right?" 

"Well... not really but... yea." Mia shrugged as she looked around the beach. It was already 10pm, they were in the beach and just like Louis had said earlier, it was kind of cold but the crowd and also the bonfires kept the place a bit warm and lit. There was a loud music coming from some huge speakers, drinks everywhere, people laughing, playing games, people dancing, everyone was generally having fun. 

She had stepped to the side when James called to answer his call, leaving the people she had come here with. 

"Did Leo call to tell you to have fun? I'm guessing he is the only one that has that kind of power to pull you out of the house."

Mia giggled, "It wasn't him."
