(**Flashback Continue**)
That boy was Raef Milton, younger son of Robert Milton. Raef was one year older than Aana. He was 18-yr-old and he was very handsome with brown eyes, straight nose, sharp jawline , thin lips and Brown hair.
Raef opened his eyes and saw them staring at him with wide eyes but then suddenly his eyes stopped at Aana and he directly turned back and said," Cover yourself,".
Aana and Crystal got confused by his sudden movement and words, they both looked at each other and when Crystal looked at Aana's condition and her eyes also widened because Aana was wearing white t-shirt but it got wet when Aana jumped inside the pool and now that her whole upper body was in display her body shape was clearly visible.
Crystal hurriedly opened her bag and pulled out a towel and covered Aana with it and whispered to her," Dumpling , your t-shirt is wet and everything is exposing,".
Aana tightly covered herself and cursed," Fuck, not know I didn't bring any spare clothes,".
Crystal said with a worried face," Even I don't have one,".
Raef, who was standing not too far from them, heard their whispering and said," Girls, can I turn around ? Maybe I can help,".
Aana and Crystal looked at his back and then at each other, Aana covered herself properly and said, " Yeah, you can,".
As she said that Raef turned around and looked at them, Crystal stood in front of Aana covering her fully and when Raef saw this he chuckled at their cuteness.
Raef said," Hey, myself Reaf,".
Crystal said," Hii, we know you, by the way I'm Crystal and she is my friend Aana,".
Raef said," Oh nice to me you guys, thanks for helping me in time Aana , and sorry for bumping into you actually I was looking back,".
Aana said from behind Crystal," Hey no need to explain I was also not looking in front so we both are at fault , by the way can you just help me first its very uncomfortable talking like this and others are also staring at us,".
Aana was feeling very awkward while asking for help from a stranger but she was also feeling very uncomfortable with the way others were staring at them.
When Raef heard this he looked around and said," Guys we are fine, you all can enjoy,".
After that he stared at them and everyone went back to their work they were doing. Raef looked at Aana and said," I have a t-shirt and pants and you can take it but it's a little bit big,".
Aana asked," Did you wore it earlier ?,". She asked this because she was not comfortable wearing strangers' t-shirts and on top of that used one, she and Crystal had worn Jack's used clothes because they were comfy yet styles and they both loved his dressing sense and they all were very comfortable with each other.
Raef said with a smile," Luckily No, They are new. I just bought them a few hours ago and I was just going towards the restroom to change my clothes, but then this happened,".
Crystal said," What about you ? You are also wet,".
Raef said,'' Don't worry about me, I have another set of clothes in my car as I told you I came here after doing some shopping,".
Aana took a deep breath of relief and said," Ahh, thank god,".
Crystal said," Don't thank god , thank him,".
Raef laughed and said," No need, you just helped me,". After that he took out black t-shirts and grey trousers from his bag which fell down on the ground before when he fell inside the pool and gave it to Aana.
Aana took it from him and ran inside the restroom with her bag.
Raef looked at her back and then at Crystal, he was not able to see Aana's face clearly.
Raef said to Crystal," So, she is your best friend ?,".
Crystal said in a confused tone," Huh? How do you know ?, ".
Raef said," Its obvious with the way you protected her,".
Crystal said," Oh, yeah she is, by the way you can also change,".
Raef looked at himself and said," Yeah , I think you are right," after that he looked at his phone which was in his pocket and was wet.
He cursed," Holy shit,".
Crystal, who was looking towards the restroom, turned towards him and said," Excuse me ?,".
Raef said," Ahh sorry , but I can borrow your phone for a minute , my phone got wet,".
Crystal said," Yeah sure,". After that she gave him her mobile and Raef dialled his driver's number luckily he remembered his driver's number he used to learn his driver number because if he needed it in any emergency.
After 5 min a man came inside and gave a packet to Raef and left, Raef also walked towards the other restroom.
Inside the 1st restroom.
Aana changed her clothes from wet clothes to t-shirt and trousers but she was looking like a bag because those clothes were quite big according to her body type, as she managed to get fit in the trousers after a struggle. She looked at herself in the mirror and she literally wanted to laugh at herself. She was looking like a little girl in those clothes. She clicked a mirror selfie and saved it as funny moments. Aana loves to capture every moment in a picture.
Then she called aunt Jim and told her to send a set of normal clothes with undergarments. She somehow managed now because of the size of clothes but she can't go outside like this. As she was about to put her phone back she got a message from Jack as he told her that he was also joining them in 20 min.
Aana told him to bring the bag of clothes from aunt Jim as he was also coming there and then she walked out from the restroom.
Outside the restroom.
After 10 min Raef came out from the restroom in blue jeans and white t-shirts, his hairs were still wet and some of them were on his forehead and because of this he was looking very handsome and girls were looking in his direction only but he was not looking at them.
Aana also came out from the restroom with an awkward face because everyone was staring at her clothes and then at her face.
When Raef saw Aana's face he stopped in his tracks and stared at her, for him she was really looking like a small bunny in big clothes and cute little face with wet open hairs. For him, beautiful girls were normal because he had seen my beautiful girls in school and in his country so he just thought Aana was cute and he moved forward.
Aana and Raef came towards Crystal and when Crystal saw Aana she tried hard not to laugh but then burst into a laughter and said," Dumpling , today you are really looking like one,".
Aana didn't mind her because she knew she was looking funny so she just let it go and said," Fine stop now, and Jack is also coming in 20 min and I also told him to bring my clothes from Aunt Jim,".
After that she looked at Raef and said," And Thanks Raef you really saved me from embarrassment, oh by the way I will pay for these clothes because now I'm not going to return them,".
Raef looked at Aana with a confused face because he didn't understand why would Aana pay for this when he didn't even ask for it but still he said," Ok, let's have some coffee then until your friend comes,".
Aana said," Uhmm Ok,".
After that three of them left the pool and walked towards the sports cafe. Everyone in their way was staring at Aana but she just ignored them and they all had their coffee while talking to each other.
After 20 Jack came towards and he was also shocked to see Raef with Aana and Crystal and he was more shocked to see Aana in these big boys clothes. He also laughed at her and made fun of her and Aana gave 2 punches to him and after that she changed those clothes and combed her hair as they were also dry now.
Raef was surprised to see Jack because he knew who Martin's were and he had also seen the picture of the whole Martin family on the internet and he was more surprised when he came to know that Aana was Michael D'souza daughter and Crystal was Mia Hill daughter. D'souza's and Hills never revealed the photo of their daughter and he had never met them personally.
And he was also shocked to see how down to earth everyone was with no ego, no richie attitude he also noticed how Aana was an introvert but she was not rude to him and he really liked her attitude.
So he jokingly asked Aana to become his date on this Valentine and he will do whatever she wanted if she agree but he shocked when Aana accept his offer and ask him for an acceptance letter from his father and a meeting but she didn't ask for an contract she just wanted that his father once met her father and discuss about business on their own. So he didn't mind this because she was just asking for a meeting not for a contract and he knew his father would definitely agree if he tried to convince.
Jack and Crystal were very shocked when they saw Aana accepted to be his date but then they know Aana can do anything for Michael so they didn't do anything but they were very excited because this was the first time Aana was going on a date.
Raef was right, his father agreed and gave him an acceptance letter and meeting date and he sent them to Aana before Valentine.
He also liked one thing about Aana that she clearly told him that she will only be his date for Valentine after that she will not date him but they can be friends as he helped her father. And he also didn't argue with her and accept it. He wanted to know more about it.
