Mia Pov
Megan called and informed me that one of her friends Ray is coming to pick me by noon, I think it was just one of that two guys... who were with Megan in the parking on the first day, Megan came home. I packed all my things, my bridesmaid dress was with Ellie, so I needed to only pack, few regular wears for two days and party wear for the wedding day party, I waited for the so-called Megan friend Ray to come... My mom came out from her room and asked...
"All packed, when is Daniel is coming to take you"
"Daniel is not coming..."
"Then... That Megan is coming"
"No... Mom, Ray a friend of Megan is coming to take me to the hotel... I am waiting for him"
"What... you're going with some stranger, when did you decide for your own, I should have known about it before, you can't go with some guy out.... ask Danny to come or you're not going"
"Come on... Mom, Danny only asked me to come with him, he's a well-known friend of Megan and even Danny knows him for years"
"But Mia... he's stranger to you, and I can't let you go with him"
I was so pissed of I called Danny, and said,
"Danny, Mom won't let me go with Ray, what should I do now..."
"Put the mobile on speaker Mia, Mom listen, I know Ray for almost 3years, and he's a very decent boy.... so it's not a big deal, so send Mia with Ray... it's final"
"But Danny...."
there was a beep on the line, Danny cut the call as he said, I was happy in my heart, as I was thinking finally, my Mom was put down for once, I saw my mom mumbling along the way to her room door when I heard a knock on the door.... I thought it must be Ray... I dragged my bag left aside and went to the door.
I opened the door and stood there dumbfounded... at what I saw, He was stunning, his dark brown tousled hair, he wore a white t-shirt with dark blue jeans, and a black leather jacket with pair of sports shoes, his silver-grey eyes... OMG I have never seen a guy who's so handsome or I have never seen a guy.... he looked like the guys in this drama on TV... so handsome...Dashing
"Hai, I am Ray Wills, Megan's friend, I am here to take you to Jack's wedding, are you ready, or I will wait in the parking"
he turned to leave... but I was so anxious, and said...
"Don't go...I am ready, let me get my bag"
I ran back in, dragging my bag I shout to my mom,
"Mom, Ray is here... I am leaving, see you tomorrow at the wedding"
as I said, I was out of the door in fear he may leave me.... but he stood in the same place where he was, as he saw me dragging my bag, Ray came forward and said,
"Let me help you"
he took the bag from me, and walked in front of me to the elevator, his shadow covered my whole being... like he engulfed my heart, I don't know, whether I like him or not, but I was not able to move my eyes from him, is this called love at first sight.... as I was in my thoughts, I walked behind him into the elevator, the doors of the elevator closed my heart started to pound... so hard, it was the first time in my life I am in a closed place with a male companion, I was able to hear my own heartbeat... who do I ask, I was completely confused.
With my heads down I stood like a schoolgirl, waited to be punished but the other person, was so carefree, without a single emotion on his face, I looked at him again, but he ignored me by pulling his mobile and making a call... who knows to whom, but next word got my attention...
"Hai Megan, Ya... I have picked her, will be at the hotel in 20minutes, when are you coming... ok, ok... I will drop her in her room, fine now... see you soon bye"
"Was it Megan..."
"didn't you hear me speaking, what type of silly question is this"
he was very rude with his answer... I was thunderstruck the way he reacted to my question, I didn't dare to open my mouth anymore.... we got out of the elevator and walked to his car, he had a limited edition of Porsche, Ray opened the door like a gentleman for me and walked around the car got into the driver seat, I was struggling with my seat belt, I was so muddled that, it was even difficult to put on a seat belt, suddenly a hand popped out from nowhere, pulled the seat belt buckled it, Ray's hands brushed my blossom, while his hot breath fanned my face, he was so near to me, I was not able to breathe, my body stiffened....after he did my belt, He started the car and drove to the hotel...
Ray Pov
I was asked by both Megan and Daniel to pick his sister, who was Ellie's bridesmaid, her name was.... I don't remember, what was her name something...Pia, ya it must be Pia, as I was thinking Riley called,
"Ya tell brother... what's it"
" are you going to pick... Megan's sister in law..."
Riley's voice echoed on the other side of the call...
"Ya.. Ya.. I am going to pick that Pia..."
"Pia... God.... Ray, it's Mia, not Pia... remember ok, and remember to be gentle.. don't do any monkey work, that will make Megan answer, do you understand"
"Ok... I understand, but Riley, why can't you pick her... it's so annoying to handle these girls"
"then how about I say this to Olii and Megan "
"Hai they're different... ok, no mixing up that"
"I am with my girlfriend in sun resort for lunch, I am answering her proposal, So don't disturb me..."
"Oh... Finally, Riley are you seriously thinking, these relationships will work... think about it brother"
"Hai Idiot, what nonsense your barking... I have not even said to her that I like her, your talking about a breakup..."
"No... it's not like that, but..."
"Ray, I understand you're confusions... but Ray, it's been years, we can be better than them... Try to forget that bitter experience.... just move out of it"
"You know I am trying Riley, for years... but I can't get myself out of that nightmare... it haunts me, even I want to be like all... Happy, but I can't"
"Ray... Ray... listen, if you get a chance... for my sake be happy, it's your choice to be happy... if you feel really something for any girl, please open yourself, Ray, it's not wrong to be in a relationship... please Ray, you can't be locking up yourself, for some bodies mistakes"
"Ok, I will try"
"Are you serious... or giving me a crap, like always you do"
"No... I promise this time, if I feel anything when I see a girl, I will try to open up..."
"That's like my brave brother... ok, bye, see you at the hotel tonight"
I cut the call... but can I really open to any girl for a relationship, I was wondering, the scar that has been caused years ago is still... raw, which pains my whole being... can I forget that, and move on... but I need to at least try, I can't punish myself for others mistakes, for years... who don't even care about me... not once tried to see me...
I dressed up, packed my bag... drove my Red Porsche to Daniel's place to pick his sister... My car was from my Grand Dad, it's a gift for my high school graduation, My Grand Dad, is my everything, he loves me so much... without his support or guidance, I would have lost track of my life a long time back, it's Grand Dad, that has put Riley back of me always, so I am in my track...
I reached Daniel's house, I remember the last time I came... I took the elevator to the last floor, and knocked on the door, in no time the door was opened... and I saw her... Mia... a long black-haired cute girl, She was not breathtaking... but she was pretty for sure, she had her own unique beauty, I was jacked for a moment at her beautiful eyes... God those dark black eyes... her lips,,,,,,,
No...No... No...I can't do this anymore, I just asked her, if she was ready or I will wait in the parking for her... but no, she asked me to wait, as she came back dragging her bag, I helped her, dragged her bag to the elevator, I walked in front of her so she can't see, how much I was fascinated in her beauty...
when we entered the elevator, as the door was closing, I wanted to scream...to let me out, This girl was my death one day.....I have dispised so many girls... but she was different, it was very difficult for me to understand, what was happening, to distract myself I called Megan, after the call... Mia asked if it was a call from Megan, I was rude like always to hide my remorse, Mia became very quiet, we both walked to the parking, she got in my car, it was the first time a girl riding my car...
Mia was struggling with her seat belt... I moved forward to her, to help her with it, but that didn't help me much, I was so near to her, the fragrance of her was toxic... she was driving my sanity to garbage, I managed myself, not show her, how she was affecting me.... we drove in silence, till we reached the hotel... I checked her in, helped her with the bag...
I wanted to let her go, this way...is better for all, I don't even know what I feel for Mia, but my every being... is in complete happiness, when I am with her, but I don't deserve her, she's an innocent girl, with so many dreams for her future... and I am a broken piece of mess, I am not able to understand myself, what and where I lack... how can I expect another person to come into my life and understand me and put my scattered self together, if it didn't work, well.. I am not ready for another heartbreak...
