Ray Pov
I took Mia's bag from Riley, as my hands brushed her backhand... Mia's face turned red... my heart was beating so fast, I felt it would jump out any time, but I was nervous, with all these critical eyes around me, I controlled my emotions and walked away without looking at Mia, As I walked to the first-floor guest room, where Olivia and Mia were staying, I opened the washroom, and patted my face with cold water, I was feeling so hot... God... this is torture... as I thought to myself, I walked out of the room, while Olivia, walked in with Mia... seeing her again my calm heart started to beat like a hip hop drummer, without stopping.
I walked past fast her and breathed hard... as I reached the living room, and walked to the down floor guest room, and walked straight to washroom... undressed, and stood still under the running cold water, that was calming down my fast-beating heart.
After a long cold shower, I strolled out of my room... slowly to see all my friends fresh sitting with Mia in the living room... watching some movie, which I was not at all interested in, I walked to the fridge and took out a cold water bottle, took a gulp of cold water as I walked to the couch and sat next to Megan... putting my arms around Megan's shoulders, and watched the movie... Megan turned, saw my face and asked,
"Nervous..."
"Nope"
"Lier"
"Why do you saw that..."
"You never sit so close to me, till your nervous... Mia is not going to eat you up...ok"
"But I feel so agitated...and breathless around her, Megan... I should leave from here before I die of heart failure..."
"So you want to run away like this from the girl you love, Seriously... Ray, why are so sacred to be happy"
"You know the reason... and still ask me"
"What the hell, you both are mumbling... even we are here"
Third-Party Pov
Olivia said with irritation... Riley looked at all the three people and smiled, turned to the TV and kept watching the movie... Mia saw what was happening and got up from the couch, and went to the fridge and asked...
"Anyone needs lemonade... I am going to prepare for me"
"Me"
Olivia said... Riley, Megan raised their hands, and Megan looked at Ray and asked...
"What about you... do you want are, No, say soon"
"For me too... little extra sugar"
Ray looked at Mia and said, while Mia nodded her head... and smiled shyly and walked to the kitchen... Megan got up from her place pushed Ray away and went to Kitchen...
"Mia, do you want any help..."
as she said, Megan, opened the freezer and pulled out a pack of French Fries... and put it in the dry oven... and stood there seeing Mia preparing lemonade, Ray walked in and asked Megan,
"Do you any help..."
"I am, I doing anything... are you blind"
he smiled... like he was crazy, Megan looked rolled her eyes and walked out... Ray gathered some courage, and asked
"Can I help with anything, Mia..."
"I am all most done... can you please help me with cups for all, and remove the fries from the oven...thank you"
"Why do you say thank you... we are friends right"
"Yaa... I think so, but you always escape from there, when I am round, I thought you don't like me"
"It's not that, Mia, please understand, I become very... very... venerable when you are around... so....so... I just escape you"
"Why is that so... "
"I don't know...Mia... I don't know, I really don't know... why I can't control my heart when I am around you, Mia"
Mia looked at Ray in the eyes...Ray walked near to Mia... Mia froze when saw Ray was walking towards her, as he neared her, Ray stood so close to Mia, his hot breath fanned her face, Mia's face blushed and turned red as a tomato... Ray lifted his hand and tried to touch her cheek... But Olivia came in yelling
"Hai Ray... are guys getting lemons from supermarket...how long you guys are taking"
as soon Olivia's voice echoed at the entrance, Ray moved away from Mia, and turned around and walked out of the kitchen, Olivia saw Ray rushing out... and came there, to see Mia, Frozen.
"What happened, you look...."
Olivia looked at Mia... she was blushing, Olivia said...
"Okay, you get the lemonade, I will take the fries"
as Olivia said, she grabbed the fries... and walked fast to the living room, to not find Ray.
"Where is Ray... guys"
"He went out... why do you ask"
"Megan, I don't know what happened in there in the kitchen, Mia looks so flushed...don't know what Ray said or did"
Olivia said and winked at both Riley and Megan... Mia carried the lemonade to the living room and didn't see the person she wanted to see the most... Ray, she turned the Megan and asked
"Megan, where is Ray, he asked juice, with extra sugar"
"Don't know where he disappeared, as soon came out of that kitchen"
"Oh...ok"
Mai said, and sat there with her juice, in no time Ray came in, with a box of chocolates and gave it to Megan,
"Where did you go..."
"Just went to get some fresh air..."
"Oh, these chocolates you got from some tree... where you went get fresh air???"
"Come on, Megan... "
"Ok... go have your juice, and give the chocolate to all, I need to call Danny"
as Megan said she walked to her room, turned and asked...
"Olii, didn't you say, that you need to call Brother James, and you Riley... you go to the supermarket on the first floor, to get some vegetables, and meat for night dinner, Mrs Cathy can help to shop, I will call her"
Olivia, Riley... understood what Megan was trying, so they both immediately got up and walked back to their rooms, leaving the lovely birds to themselves. Mia took a piece of chocolate from the box, and put it into her mouth... and looked at Ray, and said,
"It's good... I really like this flavour, do you want one piece"
Ray nodded and walked to Mia, and sat next to her, and took the chocolate that Mia gave.. and put it into her mouth...nodded and said,
"Not bad... it's good"
as they both were talking, Megan, Olivia, and Riley, stood on the last floor watching what Ray and Mia were doing.
