"Come here" he asked and extended his hand. Brina obliged and moved near to him.
Louis smiled comfortingly and wrapped his arms around her.....hugging her.
Brina smiled and leaned into his embrace.
It felt so good.
"You are more than a friend" she whispered to Louis.
As soon as Louis heard it, his heart almost stopped.
"What… what did you just say?" Louis asked as he looked directly into her eyes.
It is only when Brina realized what she said. Though she is sure that he is much more than a friend, Brina didn't wanted to give him a false hope.
She is not sure if she is really ready to accept love into her life…..especially after what has happened in her life few years back.
"Nothing" she quickly said and averted her eyes, suddenly interested in looking at the empty plates on the table.
"Nothing at all?" Louis asked again. He clearly heard her words and the erratic beating of his heart is the evidence of it.
