Lost Our Way (5) Edited
Aspen's P.O.V.
"Come on Mylie, we have to go. We are already late." I yelled from downstairs, "I was ready 15 minutes ago." We were running really late, I had texted Nova we would be there in 20 minutes, we only have 8 minutes left to get there. "Mylah!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming." She said struggling to come downstairs in her heels, "Is everyone else ready?"
"Mom, dad, Saber, and Nyzie will come later, we need to get there first."
Mylie is wearing all black matching the theme of the party with really high heels, that's why she was running late, "Seriously Mylie, we will be running around all night and you chose the tallest heels you could find tonight?"
"Shut up, let's go and stop complaining." She said grabbing her bag.
Rolling my eyes at her "Mom! Mylie and I are leaving come to the party in an hour."
"Okay, sweetie!"
Grabbing Mylie's wrist I push her in the car while getting into the driver's seat, "We are so fucking late." I snapped at her,
"Sorry," She said fixing her lipstick, "I want to look good, It not every day we go to a Quest party." Mylie looked over at me, "You look good Penny."
"Thanks," I said sighing, I kept my outfit simple, just a black dress with Gold heels, "I just threw on whatever I found in my closet."
Mylie nodded before buzzing through the gate the guard quickly opened the door for us, and rushing out of the car we made our way to the backyard where Ross, our head manager was standing. "Hey Ross," I said he turned around smiling at me as I stared at the setup in awe, "Is everything going as planned?"
He nodded, "Yeah, everything is going by the plan. There was a technical issue with the spacing but we figured that out, both of you can check the setup."
Mylie smiled at him as we walked away, "Wow, I get impressed every time we host these kinds of events."
"It just means we are good at our job Myles,"
"Yeah, let's go say hi to everyone inside."
I hesitated, "I'm just going to stay out here and keep an eye on everything, the party is about to start soon too. You go ahead."
Mylie looked at me reluctantly but I brushed it off walking towards Ross, "Hey, pass me a headset."
"Here," He said,
"Thanks, I'm just going to head to the entrance, I think the guests are arriving."
Ross looked down at his watch, "Five minutes left, you should go."
"I'm the boss remember?" I said jokingly,
"Yeah, yeah..." He waved me off chuckling, "Go,"
Ten minutes later the gate was flooded with media, flooded with guests, the lights and the cameras were so overwhelming, "Hey Mylie, could you come up here and help me out?" I said speaking into the microphone, "Mylie?"
"Coming," She responded, five minutes later she managed to push her way through the crowd towards me. "Dude, everyone is running around. Literally, rich people have no manners." She mumbled while smiling at the entering guests.
"Tell me about it," I mumble back while handing them welcoming gift baskets
We stood there for what felt like forever, slowly the crowd had died down letting us leave another helper in charge as we headed inside the venue we set up. "My feet hurt," Mylie whined
Chuckling, "I told you those heels were too high, of course, your feet are going to hurt."
"Mommy!" Nyzaia said running towards me, she looked so cute in her tiny black dress, "Mommy look we're matching."
Smiling I picked her up, "Yes we are baby, but you look way prettier than me,"
"No, you look pretty."
Mylie laughed giving her a kiss on the cheek, Bear came running behind her a couple of seconds later, "Sorry Penny, I had her but she got away."
Smiling down at Bear I gave him a hug, "It's okay Bear, I got her now. Go hang out with Nini okay?"
"Don't you have to work?" He said tilting his head, "Hand her to me, Nini and I will take care of her."
Sighing I give Nyzie a kiss before putting her down, "Nyzie stay with Uncle Bear and Auntie Nini okay? It's a big party, I don't want to lose you so no more running off."
"Okay, mommy,"
"Good baby, now go play." Bear took Nyzie away along with Nyzie inside the house. Hopefully, Talon doesn't meet her. Taking in a deep breath I walk on with Mylie focusing on doing my job.
Talon's P.O.V.
"Noah, all the guests have arrived, we should head on outside," Jax said as I fixed my coat slightly
Sighing I turned around towards him, "How do I look?"
"Like Talon Quest," He said knowing I didn't want anything to do with this stupid party. I had told Mom and Dad that I was tired of events, tired of parties, I just wanted to live the normal life I had ten years ago. I wanted to just be Noah for a little while, not the "Talon Quest" international singer and actor.
"Nyzie! Slow down." I heard Nini yell, "Nyzie you can't go in there."
Confused I looked at Jax but he just shrugged walking past him I saw a little girl struggling in Nini's arms as she was carrying her away from my room. "Auntie Nini, let me go!" She struggled, "I want to play there."
"Saber! I found Nyzie." Nini said ignoring her protests against her. Why was that little girl calling Nini auntie?
Walking out of my room, "Nini?" She stopped in her track turning around with Nyzie...in her arms. "Who's that girl?"
The little girl looked at me in awe, "T-Talon Q-Quest?" She stuttered
Chuckling I walked over to her leaning down, "Yes I am, who are you, sweetie?"
Nini let her down holding onto her hand, "I-I'm Nyzaia but everyone calls me Nyzie."
Smiling I say, "Nice to meet you Nyzie, are you a fan?"
"Yes! I am a huge fan, I listen to all your songs and watch all your movies with Aunt-"
"Nyzie!" Saber said interrupting her, "Why did you run off again? Should I go tell your mom?"
Nyzie looked down at the floor, "I'm sorry Uncle Bear, I just wanted to play..."
Saber sighed grabbing her hand he pulled her towards him he finally noticed me, "Hey Talon."
"Hey, Bear, who's this little girl?"
He looked away, "Her name Nyzaia, Penny's daughter."
My heart stopped, "What? Is Aspen married?"
Bear took his head, "No, She-"
"Bear! Come outside, bring Nyzie and Nini with you. The event is about to start, and tell Talon to hurry up please." Mylie yelled from downstairs,
Bear took a deep breath in, "I have to go, come downstairs, everyone waiting for you." With that Saber took Nini and Nyzie downstairs.
"What's up, Noah? Why do you look so tense?"
Should I tell him? Does he already know? Does everyone know why didn't anyone tell me?
"That little girl, Nyzaia..she..."
"What about her?" He asked
Shaking my head I sighed, "Nothing man. It's nothing, let's go. Mylie called us down."
"Time to be Talon Quest," Jax said heading out in front of me.
Yeah... Time to be Talon Quest.
