JUST FOR LOVE 2 Episode 26 by Azeemah Salami

Danโ€™s POV?

โ€œMy name isโ€ฆ..โ€

โ€œBeautiful psychoโ€ Mike suddenly said and i saw her face widened.

Damn!

โ€œMike!โ€ Mum scolded.
โ€œHuh?โ€ He asked with a mouthful.
โ€œShut up! You talk too muchโ€ I yelled at him.

Anel suddenly laughed and everyone turn to look at her.

โ€œDan,you call me โ€˜beautiful psycho?โ€™ โ€ She asked and i sighed.
โ€œHe doesnโ€™t,i wonder where Mike got that from. Donโ€™t mind him ,he jokes with everythingโ€ Dad said to Anel who nodded with a smile.

โ€œActually, even if he calls me that, Iโ€™m not pissed about itโ€ She said wiping her mouth..
โ€œReally?โ€ Mum asked.
โ€œYes maโ€™amโ€ She grinned and continued her meal still holding dadโ€™s hand.

โ€œTo be sincere, thatโ€™s what he calls youโ€ Dad said and i nearly banged the table.
โ€œWell great!โ€ She snickered.
โ€œWhy is that great?..i mean,he calls you a psycho. You should hit the hell outta himโ€ Mike said and i swore under my breath.

Iโ€™m gonna kill Mike once she leaves!

โ€œMike!โ€ Mum glared at him.

โ€œThatโ€™s great because i also have a name i do call himโ€ She said and Dad laughed while Mum and Mike looked amused, Iโ€™m damn sure i looked surprised right now.

She gave me a name just like i did to her?
Whoa!

โ€œOkay,may we hear the name you gave him too?โ€ Dad asked.
โ€œAwwwn,i canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m with Bryan Shaw and heโ€™s so down to earth. Thanks so much but i think Dan might weep if he hears the nameโ€ She said raising a brow.

What!
I was thinking it was a sweet name.

Dad laughedโ€ฆโ€Go on, Dan doesnโ€™t weep,but is the name that worse?โ€
โ€œIt is, artist Shawโ€ She grinned.
โ€œYes! Go ahead and tell us the name,i canโ€™t waitโ€ Mike said and quickly shifted from my side to avoid the spoon from getting to his head.

Ah!

โ€œWellโ€ฆi call him handsomeโ€ฆโ€
I grinned when i heard that and then stuck out my tongue at Mike who rolled his eyes.
โ€œManiac!โ€ She added and i think heart dropped.

Mike was the first to burst into laughter,then Mum and Dad and PSYCHO!!!

โ€œThat sounds worst than beautiful psychoโ€™ โ€ Mike laughed more.
โ€œDamn! Do you know the meaning of maniac?โ€ Mum said trying to control her second round of laughter.
โ€œWhat a great comebackโ€ Dad laughed more.

I glared at everyone of them and then smiled.
The name sounds cute.
At least,she added handsome to it but WHAT THE HELL!!

I hissed at them all and gulped water.
I felt more infuriated when they laughed more.
I canโ€™t just get what seems so funny.
โ€œEveryone just keep quiet..Iโ€™m pissed right nowโ€ I shouted.

โ€œYou shouldnโ€™t be pissed. Remember you also call me โ€˜beautiful psychoโ€™ and i wasnโ€™t pissed by itโ€ Anel said.
โ€œYeahโ€ Mike conceded and this time i succeeded in hitting the spoon on his forehead.
โ€œOhhhโ€ He grunted and i sighed satisfactorily.

โ€œWhat? Why did you hit him?โ€ Anel asked.
โ€œHeโ€™s so wicked,he does that everytimeโ€ Mike cried.
โ€œReally?โ€
โ€œYesโ€ He cried more while Mum and Dad laughed as they looked on.

Anel stood up and also grabbed a spoon.
I realized what she was about to do and quickly stood up and ran to the second living room before she could get to me.

I laughed and was about sitting on a couch but stopped my butt halfway when i realised she followed me!
How the hell did she know her way around this house!

โ€œYou thought i wonโ€™t get you,but Mike described this place to meโ€ She grinned and advanced to me with the spoon which i realised has been changed into a bigger one.

Damn!
Swears, Iโ€™m so gonna kill Mike.

โ€œWellโ€ฆcome get me psychoโ€ i winked and ran out of the living room heading to the garden.

โ€œManiac!!โ€ I heard her yelled.

I laughed and proceeded to the garden.
I wonder how she will find me this time.

~

I sat on the grass in the garden allowing the cold breeze to kiss my face.
I smiled and wondered why i normally feel complete anytime Anel is around me.

Who could have thought sheโ€™ll be in my house this minute.
She made everyone laugh even without trying.
I can tell Mum and dad are impressed,they already took a liking to her,no one makes mum and dad laugh that way including that little brat called Mike.

Wellโ€ฆ Anel will finally return to the dining room to continue her meal cause thereโ€™s no way she can find this garden not to talk of finding me.
I laughed and sang;

?Iโ€™m freeโ€ฆ.

?Freeโ€ฆfree..โ€ I sangโ€ฆ

~

โ€œ?Youโ€™re not freeโ€ฆ

?Not freeโ€ฆnot freeโ€ฆโ€ I heard and turned startled.

I saw Anel behind me with the big spoon, grinning as she sang on and on.

Damn!
What sort of girl is this?

โ€œ? Donโ€™t you dare get upโ€ฆ

?Or iโ€™m gonna hit you twice on your foreheadโ€ She sang and i frowned, wondering how she found me.

โ€œYou mean,youโ€™re gonna hit me with that big spoon after calling me a maniac?โ€ I asked after thinking of ways to escape but none came!
โ€œShush,you called me a psycho first! Now shut up and bring your forehead closer to make the hit less severeโ€ She said raising up the spoon.

โ€œI canโ€™t believe you wanna hit me in my house..i shouldnโ€™t have invited you overโ€ I said and she laughed.
โ€œThanks for inviting me dearie but i wonโ€™t need your invitation to come next time because artist Shaw said Iโ€™m free to come anytimeโ€ She smiled and jumped around for a while.

โ€œWhatever..โ€
โ€œNow come over,stop trying to avoid the hitโ€ She said.
โ€œThat spoon is so big,why the hell did mum allow you take itโ€
โ€œWellโ€ฆ Mike gave it to meโ€ She laughed.

Haaaaa! Can someone get me a whip!!!

She dropped the spoon and sat beside me.
โ€œYou never told me thereโ€™s a beautiful garden in your houseโ€ She said staring admiringly at our little but beautiful garden.

I smiled and stood up,then dusted my pants.

โ€œCome,let me show you aroundโ€ I said holding out my hand.
She took it and my heart did a funny flip.

We stared at each other for a while,my heart was about bursting.

โ€œIโ€™m beautiful,i know thatโ€ she smiled.
โ€œYes you areโ€ I said.

Sheโ€™s truly beautiful but i donโ€™t think what am feeling right now is about her beauty.
Itโ€™s entirely something else.
Iโ€™m not just attracted to her beautiful but something i canโ€™t name.

โ€œCome onโ€ She said.
โ€œYeahโ€ I smiled and tightened my hand on hers.
โ€œNow letโ€™s go over to those flowersโ€ฆโ€

~~~~โ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ขโ€ข

โ€œAw! I wish to swim but Itโ€™s getting lateโ€ She said after i finished showing her the swimming pool.
I glanced at my wrist watch.

5:46pm.

She came here around 3:20.

โ€œI came to spend time with artist Shaw but you took my time insteadโ€ She frowned.
โ€œNay, you took my time insteadโ€ I said.
โ€œNay, you did!โ€
โ€œI didnโ€™t ask you to chase me around with a spoonโ€ I laughed.

โ€œKeep quiet and lead me back inside,i need to see artist Shaw before i leaveโ€ She pouted.
โ€œSo you wonโ€™t thank me for showing you around?โ€
โ€œGo to Babylon for thanksโ€ She said and i laughed out loud.
โ€œWhatโ€™s with you and Babylon?โ€ I asked still laughing.

โ€œGet lost! Iโ€™m just gonna find the way inside myselfโ€ She said and started walking ahead of me.
โ€œCome here Anel, youโ€™ll get lostโ€ I laughed and ran after her.

**

โ€œHuh? I already missed Liamโ€™s calls. I really have to get going, theyโ€™ll be so worriedโ€ She said after picking up her phone.
โ€œWhereโ€™s Artist Shaw,your Mum and Mike? I need to say goodbyeโ€ She said.

โ€œCome with me to the second living roomโ€ I said and she quickly followed me.
I wasnโ€™t feeling so happy sheโ€™s living soon.

We got to the second living room and met them having dessert.
Mikeโ€™s lips were filled with whipped cream,he grinned when he saw Anel.

โ€œDid you finally hit him on the head like he did to me?โ€ He asked.
โ€œNo i didnโ€™t but i promise Iโ€™m going to next timeโ€
โ€œAaaarghโ€ He rolled his eyes and then shrugged.
Anel chuckled.

โ€œYouโ€™re prepared to leave?โ€ Dad asked.
โ€œOMG i canโ€™t believe artist Shaw is asking me that? Iโ€™m just gonna die if i wake up and find out this is all a dreamโ€ Anel said and everyone smiled.

I actually donโ€™t know where her love for dad originated from.

She quickly rushed to hug Dad who gladly reciprocated.
โ€œIm leaving now, even though i donโ€™t want toโ€ She said.
โ€œItโ€™s fine,youโ€™re always welcome here dearโ€ Mum said.
โ€œYes Anel,Iโ€™ll make sure maniac prepares enough meal for you when next you wanna visitโ€ Mike smiled.

What!
If i donโ€™t stop him,thatโ€™s what heโ€™s probably gonna call me for the rest of my life.
Haaaaa!

โ€œItโ€™s so sad youโ€™re leaving,we enjoyed your company and i think Iโ€™ll have to show you the studio house some other timeโ€ Dad said.
โ€œAh! Iโ€™ve totally forgotten that,you can quickly show me nowโ€ she said.

โ€œNay, I have to show you whenever youโ€™re not in a hurry so you can get to view and acknowledge the arts in patience โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s right,with that Iโ€™m gonna make sure i visit very soonโ€ She said.
โ€œOkay dear, weโ€™ll be expecting youโ€ Dad said.

โ€œThanks everyone for the hospitalityโ€ She bowed.
โ€œYouโ€™re welcomeโ€
โ€œBye, artist Shaw it was nice seeing you,you made today one of my best daysโ€ She grinned.
โ€œIโ€™m honoredโ€ Dad smiled.

โ€œBye everyoneโ€ She smiled.
โ€œIโ€™m gonna see her offโ€ i said and led her outside.
โ€œArtist Shaw i love youโ€ She shouted happily before walking out of the door.

I shook my head.

My driver was waiting already, seated on the driverโ€™s seat.

โ€œThanks for coming anel, your presence was greatโ€
She rolled her eyes and i laughed.
I so much like this girl.

โ€œWellโ€ฆ thanks for inviting me but next time,i wonโ€™t need your invitationโ€ She stuck out her tongue.
โ€œI should have just let you remain fantasising about meeting Dadโ€ I said.
โ€œBut you didnโ€™tโ€ She laughed.
โ€œWhateverโ€ฆโ€

โ€œAh! Liam is calling again. Gotta goโ€ She said and opened the car door then got in.
โ€œByeโ€ She waved.
โ€œByeโ€ I waved back with smiles.

We held each otherโ€™s gaze till the car drove out of the compound.
I sighed and held my racing chest.

โ€˜Mikeโ€™ I thought and quickly ran inside the house.
I swear down, iโ€™m so gonna deal with him.

~

โ€œWhereโ€™s Mike?โ€ I asked immediately i got to the living room and couldnโ€™t find him.
Mum laughed before dad joined in.

โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked.
They kept laughing.
I started walking to the stairs thinking he might have ran to his room.

โ€œIโ€™m here,come get me maniacโ€ I heard that little bratโ€™s voice and quickly turn, only to find out he was hiding right under mumโ€™s legs.

Damn!
How could i get so blind not to notice! Plus he called me manic!!

He got up and started running when he saw me advancing towards him.

I gave him a hot chase and smiled when i heard Mum and dadโ€™s laughter trailing behind us.

?Anelโ€™s POV?

โ€œAnel where are you coming from?โ€ Liam threw the question at me when i walked into the living room.
Mum, Ana and granny were also seated and i can see they all wore worried look.

โ€œIโ€™m sorry for returning lateโ€ I said.
โ€œWhere are you coming from?โ€ He repeated his question.

โ€œI told you i was going to a friend plโ€ฆโ€
โ€œShut up!โ€ He cut me short.

If he thinks heโ€™s gonna make me cry tonight then heโ€™s joking.

โ€œYou allowed me go and now youโ€™re yelling at me. Who does that?โ€ I said getting pissed.
โ€œYou never told us you were going to a guyโ€™s house! a bastardโ€™s house!โ€
โ€œReally? Well.. heโ€™s the only friend i haveโ€ I said.

โ€œWhat! How could you make a guy your first friendโ€ He shouted.
โ€œIโ€™m free to make anyone my friend, remember itโ€™s โ€˜my friendโ€™ so i gat the chance to make my choiceโ€ I said throwing my phone on the couch.
โ€œKnowing well it was a guy who destroyed your mother! โ€ He yelled and that brought tears to my eyes.

He finally succeeded in making me cry.
Wow!

โ€œYes,it was a guy not all the guys. Just because of mumโ€™s story i didnโ€™t make friends since i was eight,i didnโ€™t feel the joy of childhood,im always screaming and pushing away anyone who come close to me,it made me hate people!!! But do you know the person that made all that stopped;
It was him! The guy you call a bastard was the only one who came close to me,he made me realize the life i was living was bad,he changed me!!โ€ I said in tears.

I saw Ana wiping her face and knew she was crying.
I canโ€™t go to her at this moment.

โ€œEven if you donโ€™t like me as you liked Mum,that shouldnโ€™t make you yell at me all the time. Itโ€™s high time i started deciding for myselfโ€ I said and picked my phone slowly.

I sniffled and started walking towards the stairs.

I felt a hand pull me back,i turned and saw Liam. He quickly pulled me into a hug and of course i hugged him back.
โ€œI like you more than your Mum okay?โ€ He said to me and i nodded.
He wiped my tears away and led me to a couch.

**

โ€œReally?โ€ Liam smiled after mum and Ana were done telling him how nice Dan is.
Granny has gone up to her room.

โ€œYesโ€ I smiled also.
โ€œYes Dad,i like himโ€ Ana said.
โ€œWow! So whatโ€™s his name?โ€ Liam asked.
โ€œDanโ€ Ana said.
โ€œDan? You mean like Daniel?โ€ Liam asked.
โ€œYes Dadโ€ Ana grinned.
โ€œWhatโ€™s his last name?โ€ He asked after glancing at mum.

โ€œMartinโ€ Ana answered and i noticed how he quickly sighed in relief.

Itโ€™s not Martin,that dickhead lied.

โ€œThat was what i also thought at firstโ€ Mum whispered to Liam but i overheard.
Liam nodded and then smiled.

What did she thought at first?

โ€œYou can invite him over next timeโ€ He said.
โ€œReally?โ€ I smiled.
โ€œYesโ€
โ€œOMG thanks Liamโ€ I giggled happily with Ana.
โ€œItโ€™s fineโ€ He said.

โ€œHis family treated me well,they are very nice people,so awesome and down to earthโ€ I gushed over the Shaws.
โ€œReally?โ€ Liam asked.
โ€œYes Liam,they are great peopleโ€ I said.
โ€œWowโ€ He smiled.

โ€œInvite everyone of them thenโ€ He said.

Huh!
Should i tell him??

JUST FOR LOVE 2 Episode 27 by Azeemah Salami

Anelโ€™s POV?

โ€œInvite everyone of them thenโ€ He said.

Huh!
Should i tell him??

โ€œHuhโ€ฆ okayโ€ I said.

Mum yawned.

โ€œItโ€™s getting late,we have to go to bedโ€ Liam said and helped mum up.
โ€œOkay, weโ€™ll also come to bed soonโ€ Ana said.
โ€œIโ€™ll come back to check on you and Iโ€™m gonna make sure i punish you if you havenโ€™t gone to bedโ€ Liam said and started leading Mum up the stairs.

Ana rolled her eyes and shifted closer to me.

โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked.
โ€œArenโ€™t you gonna gist me?โ€ She asked.
โ€œAfter you told Liam that my so called friend was a guyโ€ I said.
โ€œComโ€™on,we were all worried when you werenโ€™t picking up,so i had to answer all of dadโ€™s questions honestlyโ€ She said.
โ€œWhatever โ€ I stood up.

โ€œAh! I canโ€™t believe youโ€™re pissed about thatโ€ She said.
โ€œIโ€™m not, at allโ€ i said.
โ€œReally?โ€
โ€œYeahโ€
โ€œThen tell me how it all went?โ€ She asked eagerly and i felt sorry cause iโ€™m not in the mood for that now.

โ€œIt went greatโ€ I said and started walking to the stairs.
โ€œAnelโ€ She called after me.
โ€œIโ€™m gonna do that tomorrow Anaโ€ I said.
โ€œUrgh!โ€ She groaned.
โ€œI promiseโ€ I said and she shrugged.

I quickly climbed the stairs to my room.
I feel a bit tired and sleepy.

I got to my room and dropped my phone on the bed.
I pulled off my clothes and walked into the bathroom.

*

I walked out of the bathroom in my pajamas feeling refreshed.
I sat on the bed and smiled remembering the moments i spent in maniacโ€™s house.

I still canโ€™t believe i met artist Shaw.
Iโ€™m gonna make sure i visit soon again,i canโ€™t wait to see his studio house.
I know there will be hundreds of drawings.
I just hope i wonโ€™t die with enthusiasm.

I sighed, realising how bad i feel keeping something from Liam but i canโ€™t possibly tell him or can i?
He hates Bryan Shaw for whatever reason and Iโ€™m sure there wouldnโ€™t have been peace in the house tonight if i had told him.

I think Iโ€™m just gonna keep it all a secret till the Shaw family comes to visit.
Maybe once Liam sees him,the hatred will decrease or probably stop cause Bryan Shaw is such a lovable man.

I canโ€™t wait to tell Dan about this.
I really want his family to visit ours.
I giggled as i picked my phone,i powered it.

Oh..i didnโ€™t realize i have a message.

?Hi, beautiful Psycho.

?I hope you got home safely?

? Canโ€™t wait to see you tomorrow.

?Dan?

I laughed as i remembered the moment i revealed the name i call Dan.
It was such a funny moment.
I never thought i would reveal that name โ€˜handsome maniacโ€™ today, and right in his house with his family surrounding us but damn!

He also calls me โ€˜beautiful psycho!โ€™
Good thing i gave him that name.
I smiled and hugged my phone to my chest.
Iโ€™ve grown to like Dan so much,heโ€™s a wonderful friend.

I should sleep now,i need to get to school early tomorrow.
I canโ€™t wait to see Dan.

Really?

I slipped under the covers after switching off the lights and then switching on the bedside lamp.
I laid my head on my pillow and closed my eyes waiting for sleep to accept me.

?Next Morning?

I stood in front of the mirror after i was done dressing up for school.
I smiled and adjusted my backpack before walking out of my room.

*

โ€œWhy are you always at the dining before me?โ€ I frowned at Ana,who grinned and continued her breakfast.
โ€œThat shows how punctual i amโ€ She said with a mouthful.
โ€œYes, only when food is involvedโ€ i said.

She sent me a glare but i ignored her and called out to Mary.

โ€œGood morning Maryโ€ I shouted.
โ€œGood morning Anel,how was your night?โ€
โ€œIt was greatโ€ i said and dropped my backpack.

I sat down and started eating my breakfast.

โ€œYou said you are gonna tell me everything todayโ€ Ana broke the silence.
โ€œThat will be after weโ€™re back from schoolโ€ I said.
โ€œAhhn!โ€ She frowned.
โ€œWeโ€™re going to school Ana! Talking might delay usโ€ i said.

โ€œJust sum it up for me,you donโ€™t have to to go into details, pleaseโ€ She pleaded.
โ€œNo Ana, weโ€™re starting to run late. Iโ€™m gonn..โ€
โ€œItโ€™s so annoying to start thinking you want to start hiding things from me! I donโ€™t want to hear anything anymore,keep the gist to yourselfโ€ She said angrily and stood up,she picked up her backpack and walked out.

I smiled,not surprised at her behavior.
โ€œAnaโ€ i called after her but she didnโ€™t respond.
โ€œOkay im sorry, Iโ€™m gonna tell you everythingโ€ I picked my backpack and ran after her.

???

โ€œBye Jack,Anaโ€ I said as i alighted from the car.
โ€œBye Anel, have a nice dayโ€ Jack said.
I looked at Ana who has been ignoring me.

I turned and headed to the school gate.
I suddenly turned back and caught Ana looking at me.

I smiled and waved..

โ€œI love you sisโ€ i shouted.
She pouted and ordered jack to drive.
He did and i turned back to the gate.

*

I walked into the classroom and got the attention Iโ€™ve always gotten.
They all stared at me in silence for a while before saying โ€œhiโ€

My eyes went straight to Danโ€™s seat and i couldnโ€™t define the excitement that rose in me when i saw him seated.
Our eyes met and my heart pumped.

Weird.

โ€œHello everyoneโ€ I waved in smiles as i walked to my seat.

I dropped my backpack before settling down.

โ€œPsychoโ€ Dan whispered to me and i secretly smiled before turning to face him.
โ€œManiac!โ€ I growled and he laughed.
โ€œYouโ€™re a psycho but guess what?โ€ He asked.
โ€œWhat?โ€ I frowned.
โ€œYouโ€™re beautifulโ€ He said and i smiled, almost holding my cheeks.

โ€œYouโ€™re a maniac but guess what?โ€
โ€œWhat?โ€ He asked.
โ€œYouโ€™re uglyโ€ I grinned.
โ€œWhat!โ€ He exclaimed and frowned.
I laughed and stuck out my tongue at him.

โ€œI believe you both are aware that this is a classroom and youโ€™re disturbing other studentsโ€ Jacq half yelled.
โ€œYes!โ€ Karissa conceded.

โ€œWeโ€™re not complaining,are we?โ€ The class prefect asked the class .
โ€œNoโ€ They chorused making me smile.

I turned to Dan who appeared less bothered about the whole thing.

I sighed and turned to the front of the classroom.
Just then a teacher walked in.


We had three more subjects before the bell for lunch break rang.
I grabbed my bottled water out of my backpack.
I uncapped it and gulped it down my throat.

โ€œYouโ€™re starving right?โ€ Dan asked and i nodded.
โ€œPlus Iโ€™m exhausted โ€ I said.
โ€œOkay,hold on. Iโ€™ll go get us food from the cafeteriaโ€ He said and stood up.
โ€œLetโ€™s go togetherโ€ i said.
โ€œNo,i donโ€™t want that yesterday drama repeating itself,just sit okay. Iโ€™ll be backโ€ He said.
โ€œThanksโ€ I smiled and watched as him walked away.

Where are his friends?
I noticed they didnโ€™t come to call him for lunch today.
I just hope Iโ€™m not the one getting between them, they donโ€™t normally have issues before i became close to Dan.

I sighed and gulped more water.
I just hope everything will be fine.

*

I was about going to meet Dan in the cafeteria,heโ€™s taking too long.

โ€œYoo!โ€ I heard and flinched.
I turned towards the window and saw Dan standing in the garden with a tray of meal.
I smiled..

โ€œCome to the gardenโ€ he winked and i rushed out of the classroom like wind.

**

โ€œDonโ€™t you think Mrs Oliver will be pissed to find out weโ€™re having our lunch here,after what happened to youโ€ I said with a mouthful.

Iโ€™m so enjoying the pizza rolls.
Weโ€™re both seated on the bench, having our lunch.

โ€œHow would she know? Do you plan on telling her?โ€ He asked and took a pizza roll from my plate.
I sent him a look and he chuckled.
โ€œI donโ€™t plan on doing that but do you know thereโ€™s a CCTV in the whole building?โ€
โ€œExcept the gardenโ€ He smiled.

โ€œOhh.. really?โ€
โ€œYeahโ€
โ€œBut eating in the garden is not among the school rulesโ€
โ€œIโ€™m Daniel Shaw and Iโ€™m born to break rulesโ€ He boasted and i felt intrigued.
โ€œAaaargh!โ€ I rolled my eyes.
He laughed.

โ€œWellโ€ฆmy visit to your house was great,i totally enjoyed myself even though you didnโ€™t stop being a dickheadโ€ I said.
โ€œOuch!โ€ I said when he dragged my hair.
โ€œServes you rightโ€ He said.

โ€œYou deserve a hard knock but Iโ€™m gonna pardon youโ€ I said.
He smiled and gazed at me for a long time,my cheeks were starting to turn red and i finally managed to speak up.

โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked.
โ€œIโ€™m glad youโ€™re part of my life,i get to laugh whenever Iโ€™m with you..โ€
โ€œNow, youโ€™re gonna make me blushโ€ i smiled.
โ€œGo ahead,i would love to see your creamy cheeks go redโ€ He said and i laughed.
โ€œCheeks are not the only part of body that goes red when blushingโ€
โ€œYeah i know but the cheeks is the commonest for girlsโ€
โ€œYouโ€™re right and Liam wants your family to visitโ€ I said.

โ€œReally?โ€ His eyes widened.
โ€œYeah,he wants to know you all betterโ€ I said.
โ€œWow,does he know weโ€™re the Shaws?โ€
โ€œNo he doesnโ€™t,Iโ€™ve not told him but i will, soonโ€ I said.
โ€œItโ€™ll be a bit hard to make dad come,you know how he is right?โ€
โ€œYeah,i doโ€

โ€œBut,i donโ€™t think he would refuse the offer cause he likes you so muchโ€ He said and i found myself grinning.
โ€œYou mean he would visit just because of me?โ€ I asked.
He nodded โ€œIโ€™m gonna inform him first and Iโ€™ll get back to you,Iโ€™m so glad your uncle wants to meet my family, that means he accepts our friendshipโ€
โ€œYes he doesโ€
โ€œYaaayโ€ he said excitedly and i smiled.

I was about picking another pizza roll when i realised thereโ€™s nothing remaining in the plate.

Iโ€™m okay with what Iโ€™ve eaten though.
I sighed and picked my bottle of water.

โ€œIโ€™ll go return this to the cafeteriaโ€ He said and picked the tray.
I nodded and watched him walk away.

*

โ€œWhat about your friends?โ€ I asked when he returned to the garden.
โ€œThey both refuse to talk to meโ€ He said.
โ€œReally?โ€
โ€œYeahโ€ฆitโ€™s normalโ€ He smiled.
โ€œWhy are they doing that?โ€ I asked.

He shrugged. โ€œProbably they are jealous that i have another friendโ€
โ€œOh..you mean itโ€™s all because of me?โ€ I asked.
โ€œYeah, theyโ€™re jealous of you but donโ€™t bother about that. Theyโ€™ll loosen up soon,they are both nice peopleโ€ He said.

โ€œBut if i havenโ€™t become your friend,all this wouldnโ€™t have happened,Iโ€™m the one who caused everythingโ€ I said sadly and wondered when i became this way.
He sighed โ€ Anel,you didnโ€™t cause anything. They would have also behaved that way if it was another person i have as a new friend,so just chill huh? โ€ He said and i nodded.
โ€œDonโ€™t bother about them,now come over for a โ€˜friendโ€™ hugโ€ He smiled and i returned his smile.

I think Iโ€™m getting too soft.

We shifted closer to each other and he pulled me into a hug.
I nearly gasped when he kissed my forehead and then brushed back my hair.
My heart raced faster and my entire face grew hot.

I quickly disengaged from the hug and turned to face the other side,i think itโ€™s best to avoid his face at this moment.

I breathed in and out for some minutes and then turned back to him after i was sure that Iโ€™m okay.

Whatโ€™s happening to me?

I gasped when i found his face close to mine.
His hot breath fanned my face,i got to see how full and real his lashes were,his nose is almost touching mine and his lips..
Oh..my.. I felt hot and Iโ€™m sure my entire face has turned into tomato.

โ€œGoddess Anelโ€ He smiled and i must confess his nearness gave me new set of feelings.
My heart didnโ€™t stop pounding and i couldnโ€™t utter a word.

Whatโ€™s happening to me?
This isnโ€™t the first time Iโ€™m feeling this but itโ€™s more intense now.

I donโ€™t know the force that was pushing my lips to his.
Our lips were about touching when we heard a bang.

What!

We both turned and saw Travis,he already turned red with anger.
He hit the rod he was holding on the bench one more time before yelling at Dan.

I so much dislike Travis!

But what were we about to do?
I mean Dan and i.

?{Few weeks later}?

Itโ€™s morningโ€ฆ

I yawned and sat up on my bed.
Its Saturday,i donโ€™t have to rush into the bathroom to bath and get dressed.

I rested my back on the bedโ€™s headboard and then picked up my phone.
I powered it and smile as our picture displayed on the screenโ€ฆDan and i.

I like him so much,heโ€™s one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
Our friendship has waxed stronger and i can proudly say Dan is now my best friend.
But i donโ€™t understand the reason my heart beat faster whenever heโ€™s close to me,i donโ€™t understand the reason i feel so happy whenever i hear his voice,the reason i always long to be with him,the reasonโ€ฆthe reason, i donโ€™t just understand whatโ€™s happening to me.
Is that what friends always feel for each other?

I sighed and dropped my phone,then stood up from the bed.
I walked into the bathroom after grabbing my body towel.

**

โ€œLike seriously,did you just called Dan with my phone?โ€ I asked Ana after walking out of the bathroom.
โ€œYeahโ€ She grinned.
โ€œWhy did you do that? And donโ€™t break my bedside lampโ€ I warned.

She shifted to the middle of the bed,my phone still in her hand .

โ€œI wanted to hear his voice and tell him something alsoโ€ She said.
โ€œBut i made you talk to him yesternightโ€ I said and started drying my body.
โ€œYeah,i needed to tell him somethingโ€ She said.
โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked.
โ€œItโ€™s a secretโ€ She smiled widely.

Ana likes Dan so much.

โ€œNext time, donโ€™t call anyone with my phone without my permission okay?โ€
She nodded.

I walked to the wardrobe and pulled it open.

โ€œYou donโ€™t have to do that,i already selected some clothes for youโ€ Ana said.
I turned and saw her holding my pink dress.

I smiledโ€ฆ Exactly what i planned on wearing.

??

โ€œIโ€™m so bored,Iโ€™m gonna sleep any moment from nowโ€ Ana yawned.
I laughed,i knew she didnโ€™t like this particular cartoon but i do.

We sat in the living room after having our breakfast.
Liam, Mum and granny are upstairs in their rooms.
And of course Mil is gone,i miss her so much.

โ€œGo to sleep little sisโ€ I winked.
โ€œIโ€™m not little! and youโ€™re being wicked!โ€ She said.
โ€œHow?โ€
โ€œYou knew i donโ€™tt like this cartoonโ€
โ€œBut i do,should we split the TV into two?โ€
โ€œOther older sisters allow their younger ones to watch what they likeโ€
โ€œIโ€™m not โ€˜other sistersโ€™ Iโ€™m Asanel Yatesโ€ I said.
โ€œArrgh! Youโ€™re so annoyingโ€ She said and i laughed.

โ€œYour phone is ringingโ€ She smiled and passed it to me.
Ana smiled? Just because my phone is ringing??
I wonder whoโ€™s calling.

I collected it from her.

โ€˜Danโ€™
Oh!

I tried to hide my smile as i received the call.
I cleared my throat.

?Hey Psycho.

?Like seriously maniac!

He laughed ?Iโ€™m sorry but Iโ€™m not deeply sorry cause you also called me maniac.

I rolled my eyes.

?I know you just rolled your eyes now.

?And i know youโ€™re a wizard.

He laughed ? Wellโ€ฆ youโ€™ll make me forget the reason i called.

? Isnโ€™t it to hear my voice?

? Yeah and also to tell you that weโ€™re all on our place to your house.

What!!!?
