Chapter 26 - CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

So mind telling us who the guy is? Ruby asked as Naomi turned to her and the girls looking confused. I don't understand what you're talking about. She said as Sam chuckled. Naomi, we aren't stupid. We've known something has been going on. Just spill it. Sarah said. What are you all? She huffed folding her hands as she turned her face away. Why's everyone more focused in what I do than I am? She mumbled as Sam smiled shaking her head. So who is he? Ruby asked. Can't I hide anything from you all? She asked. No, you can't plus Ruby saw you on a bike leaving with a guy. Sarah said as Naomi looked at Ruby. Don't worry. It was just a coincidence. Ruby said. Well, he's name is Ardi. Naomi said. Ardi. Sam called tasting the name on her lips. The name's nice. Sam said. Please go on. Sarah said. Well, he's the guy that saved me when I was kidnapped. She said. The one you were chasing that didn't pay attention to you? Klaus asked. Babe, I didn't know you were a gossip. Sarah said rolling her eyes. Get lost Klaus. This is women's discussion. Sam said. Since when? I thought we were all friends? He asked. There's a limit to everything. Girls need their privacy. Ruby hissed. Oh come on. Naomi tell them. I didn't want to eavesdrop but it was catching to the ears. Just pretend that I'm not here. Klaus said. Where did I meet you again? Sarah exclaimed. You know you love me babe. He said throwing a kiss at her as the girls shouted eww together. Dude, you're a duffer. Luke said. Go get a babe. He retorted. That's ok. And yes. He's the one. Naomi said answering Klaus' question. I knew no one could ever reject Naomi. Klaus said. He did. Naomi and Sarah said in unison as they looked at each other. He did reject me. It was hard getting him to talk to me or even like me. She said. We need to see this guy. He's gold. Sam said. But at least he likes you now. Ruby said wiggling her eyebrows. Only as a friend. She said sheepishly. What! All of them exclaimed. Only as a friend? Klaus asked as he placed his hand on his jaw thinking. This guy is indeed something else. He said. Who wouldn't look at our precious Naomi? He asked as Ruby and Sam nodded. Maybe he's gay. Luke said. Yeah, right. Sarah said rolling her eyes. Sam's right. This guy is gold. We really need to meet him. Sarah said. You love him. Sam said as others looked at Naomi. What? She asked. You love him Naomi, don't you? She asked again as Naomi blushed. Oh my, she's really in love with him. Ruby said. Finally the plum tree has bloomed. Klaus said as Sam looked at him weirdly before shaking her head. Babe, stop saying rubbish. Sarah scolded. What's not to love about him? He's sweet, nice. He's what I want in a man. She said lost in his thoughts. What she wants in a man. Ruby said to Sam teasingly. And he got me this dress. He's not after my money but me. Naomi said. Are you sure? Sarah asked. Yes I am. I feel my utmost self when I am with him. Naomi said. This dude has definitely taken out place in your heart. Ruby said as Luke picked up his drink and left as Ruby and Sarah saw him leaving. What about Luke? Sarah asked. What about him? Naomi asked. You know he has always had feelings for you and you also exploited him. Klaus said as she used her eyes to search for him. You need to apologize to him after all you made him like this. Ruby said. I know he's my brother and I'm supposed to be angry with you but I can't force love but you need to apologize to him. Ruby said as Naomi nodded. Women are unbelievably cruel. How can you use and dump a guy? He asked. I'll go speak to him. Naomi said leaving. You're one to talk. Sam said. And they are such big bullies. He said. You! She exclaimed before calming down. Klaus, do you wish to die? She asked. The audacity. Klaus said as they wanted to start their banter. It's ok you two. Ruby said laughing. You two are really pissing me off. Sarah said looking at the both of them. Sam, don't bully my man. She said as Sam rolled her eyes. And babe, you know I love you but shut up. She said as he pouted.

**************************************Luke was standing behind a pole watching the people dance and rejoice when Naomi came. Hey. She said. Hey. He reply. You good? He asked as she nodded. Always looking out for me. She said laughing as he gave her a faint smile as she turned it to a fits of coughs. "oh my God! This is awkward. I didn't know confronting your male friend who likes you is this hard". She thought. Do you need to say something? He asked. No. She said as he hummed. I mean yes. She said feeling embarrassed. Look Luke, I'm just here to apologize to you. I know I mislead you and used you. I shouldn't have played with your feelings. You've always been good to me and I couldn't see it and repay it. I know very well that you love me. I'm sorry I can't give you the love you deserve but I still want us to be friends. I'm selfish enough to not want to let you go. Your one of my genuine friends and I don't want to loose you. She said. You love someone else, don't you? He asked as she nodded. Is he good to you? He asked as she nodded. Then I'm happy. He said as she looked shocked. But Luke… Naomi, I love you doesn't mean you have to love me back. It was my decision so you shouldn't worry. I understand that love can't be forced. He said as she felt bad. When he saw that she was sad, he laughed. What's with the face? If you looked at the bright side, we're still best buddies right? He asked as she nodded. Or are you trying to deny me the rights of being your friend? He asked. You know I would never do that. She said. Then we're good. He said facing the people again. They look so happy. They don't even care about the hardship of the world right now. He said sighing. I'll go check on the others. She said as he nodded. I'll be there soon. He said as she left.
