Ray Pov
As we reached Megan was so busy with her things to be taken care of, so it was only me, Riley, Mia, as the other two love birds went on a walk, I asked Riley
"What are we going to do..."
"I am tired of driving, so I am going to sleep, wake me up when dinner is ready, Mia, if you don't mind please, move to that couch, I will sleep here only"
Riley said, and laid on the couch, comfortably, and Mia had to move next to me, we both sat, on the same couch, but Mia has stuck herself to the other side of the couch, I felt funny looking at her, but controlled myself, and asked
"What happened to you, suitor, did you..."
I trailed... I was scared, of her answer... if she said, she actually liked him, what am I going to do, with full panic I looked at Mia, but to my surprise, Mia smiled and shook her head and said,
"I didn't like him, as soon I saw him, he was not good man, he wants a slave, not a wife, and Daniel found out that, Mr Franklin is a manic, so our wedding was cancelled, and my Dad as agreed for my higher education"
She was jumping like a bubble... she looked so happy, and free... with no confusion on her face, I was happy that her wedding was ruined... Ha..Ha.., and then asked her...
"Then now all the tension is over, you're here to relax"
She nodded her head like a rattle, smiled while saying
"Actually, I am here to decide, what courses I can take for my further education, with Megan's help"
"Oh...that's great, what are you really interested in, and what do you like to do"
Mia thought fir some time and said
"I like to keep the house beautiful and design few interiors of the house, but I keep it secret, because my Mom, won't allow me to do, but now I am thinking of studying that as my main course, but will any college take me in Ray, as I am not even a high school graduate"
I looked at Mia dumbfounded, She called my name, for the first time... I liked my name for the first time after my parents separated, but when I looked at Mia, she was so sad, when realised why she was sad, I said
"Have you decided that you want to be an Interior designer, then I can help you, Mia, what do you say"
"Really, can I join without my high school graduation"
"I can't promise but will try"
as I said I tapped her hands that were on her lap, Mia, looked at me, as she pulled her hand, and smiled sly, got up... I pulled some courage, held her hand and asked
"Where to Mia"
"To the kitchen... do you want some coffee"
I nodded and smiled at her, without releasing her hand, Mia tried to pull her hand, and said
"Ray, please let go, if someone sees..."
"Who's going to see..."
"Ray, please... "
I let go of her and watched Mia run into the kitchen, I kissed my hand and smiled, after few minutes Mia came back with two cups of coffee, and gave me one... we both sat on the same couch but a little far, we smiled at each other... and drank our coffee, when we're done I said,
"Mia, I need to talk to you about something very important"
"About what..."
"That I wanted to tell, that... I... I..."
Before I finished, Megan walked in and asked where were Olivia and James, I just pretended to be hungry and said, they were in backwards... and ran out to get them, Then thought on the way, it was not good to tell my love fir her I such a simple way, I wanted to propose her properly, I had got the ring I had bought for her... but I thought, getting Mia admission in Interior Design will be a better way to propose her...
After dinner, we went back to the guest's room, where I and Riley stayed, walked to the balcony and called the Principle of the Will's University of Architecture and interior design, it was owned by the Wills family, The principal asked me
"Hi, Director, what can I do for you, you're calling me so late..."
"Principle, please call me, Ray... we are not in any meeting, I just wanted to check, can a student get into Interior Design course, without High School"
"Okay, that I have to check from the HOD of the department, can I get back on this by tomorrow"
"Okay, Principal, thank you, I will wait for your call"
I cut the call and walked in to see all my friends, Olivia, Riley, and Megan... they were staring at me, I sat shrugged and asked
"What..."
Megan was the first one,
"Why can't you say now, that you love her, Mia likes you, after that Mr Franklin left, She wanted to talk to me, but before we would talk, I got a call about uncle and aunt, and after that, she was just being with me"
"I totally understand Megan, I know, somewhat she likes me, I wanted to say Mia today, but I want to propose her with what she wants... so give me some time...Ok"
all looked at me and nodded, I signed and said
"Now can you both leave, in need to sleep"
Mia Pov
What was he doing..., he held my hand, he looked at me with that eyes of his, which was so gentle, but seductive... I didn't know how to breathe when he touched and teased me... does he also love me, or was he only teasing me like a friend... but I love him, what am I going to do... Grrr... God, please help me, as I thought, I just laid my bed, and was thinking what to do next, should myself go to him and say that I love him, so much that, I can't live without him... No...No... a girl can't do that, it should be a boy always fall for a girl, and his can I go tell him I like him... ok let me wait, for Ray... will see what he does.
When I was thinking, Olivia came in, and took her nightwear and said
"This room is all yours, I am sleeping with James"
"Is it ok, to sleep with your boyfriend like this, before...."
I stopped with blush and gazed at Olivia... She smiled and said,
"Mia... I have known James, for... don't know from when, and he is a very good man with principals, his self-control, is...God....too much, he will not do something inappropriate before our wedding...so, Good Night"
I nodded, and Olivia left, I just laid on my bed, dreaming about my dream man... The next day we went out on a city tour when Megan was accompanied by James bro... it was only us three, We had gone to a theme park, Olivia and Riley went on the way, saying that they had few places to see, while it was only me and Ray.... Ray l9oked at me, I was so scared to face him, I was blushing, but didn't know what to do... Ray finally asked
"Can I" with his hands stretched, smiled at me, his smile and gaze were sending me to all the seven heavens... I took built some courage and held his hand, it was like I was, having lighting and thunder in my heart, we went to the fairy wheel, I was a little scared... but Ray tugged me and took me into the fairy wheel, it was only two people for one cage, as we sat, Ray smiled, as we were going up in the fairy I was so scared, Ray tugged my wrist, without a warning, I was off my guard, and fell into Ray's lap, he smiled happily and held me by my waist, OMG...
"Sit Mia... don't be scared, I am here"
"But...let me go, I will sit next to you"
He let me go, and I sat next to him, but I was so embarrassed... and shy, I didn't no what all was happening to me, but I liked it...
