Anelโ€™s POV?

โ€œOMG,you mean he kissed you?โ€ Theresa,Ashlyn and Vie asked.
โ€œYesโ€ I smiled,my cheeks getting pink.

We were all seated in my cabin after getting ready for day 9 adventure.
We were waiting for our breakfast.

I was happy throughout the night that i couldnโ€™t sleep,i kept smiling and turning in bed.
Was it because it was my first kiss?
Or,the love i have for Dan is just too much?

His lips were so soft and sweet against mine.
Heโ€™s a good kisser and i wonder how many lips he would have kissed.
I felt a bit jealous but later shrugged it off.
Heโ€™s mine now.

Not only did he kiss me,he also asked me to be his girlfriend!
I canโ€™t be more happy and i could remember how i screamed โ€œYesโ€

Yesternight was one of the best nights for us .
We took so long at the lake, talking and planning our future. Iโ€™m glad i have an intelligent dude as my boyfriend.
I never thought i could be so much in love cause i was someone who always condemned love but now i know better.

No matter how hard one tries to avoid love, itโ€™ll always come whenever it wants to.
Love has control over everyoneโ€™s heart and Iโ€™m glad it directed my heart to Dan.

He carried me on his back down to my cabin yesternight,and i almost melted when he kissed me goodnight.

โ€œFinallyโ€ Vie smiled.
โ€œYes! Iโ€™ve been waiting for thisโ€ Ashlyn said.
โ€œSo what happened after you kissed..did you.. i mean did he caressed you?โ€ Theresa asked in a whisper.

I grinnedโ€ฆโ€No he didnโ€™t but he almost didโ€
โ€œWowโ€ They chorused and i covered my cheeks with my palms.

โ€œThereโ€™s also somethingโ€ I said.
โ€œWhat?โ€ They asked.
โ€œHe asked me to be his girlfriendโ€ I said with a large smile and then glanced at their faces.
โ€œOMG!โ€ Vie exclaimed.
โ€œAnel,did you say โ€˜yesโ€™?โ€ Theresa asked eagerly.
โ€œAnel if you said โ€˜noโ€™ then get out of this cabin right nowโ€ Ashlyn joked and i laughed.

I rested my chin on my palms deliberately putting them in suspense.

โ€œAnel, comโ€™onโ€ They said.
โ€œWellโ€ฆmy answer wasโ€ฆโ€ I paused and stared at their faces.

The were looking at me eagerly and i could hear their loud breathings.
I smiled.
โ€œMy answer wasโ€ฆ Yesโ€ I said and their screams were deafening.

โ€œYessss!โ€ They danced all over the room and i couldnโ€™t help but laugh.
Silly asses!
They dragged me up and made me stand in the middle,they started dancing round me pulling out funny skills,i couldnโ€™t stop laughing and the one that really gat me was Vie,she started singing in a terrible voice shaking her fat butt alongside.

I fell on the bed laughing hardโ€ฆ.
โ€œOh..God,you guys are gonna kill meโ€ I said in between laughter.

They all stopped when the door opened.
Two cooks walked in with our breakfast.

โ€œThanksโ€ We chorused,each of us picking a plate and a bottle of water from the trays.
They nodded and walked out.

We sat down and started eating our breakfast.

โ€œIโ€™m so happy for you Anelโ€ Vie said with a mouthful.
โ€œMe tooโ€ Ashlyn smiled
โ€œIโ€™m not left outโ€ Theresa said biting into her toast.

โ€œThanks everyoneโ€ I smiled.

My phone sprang to life and โ€˜Till i met youโ€™ by fallen angels began to blare from the tiny speaker.
I picked my phone up and checked the callerโ€™s ID. I smiled.

Dan.

โ€œIs it Dan?โ€ Ashlyn asked and i nodded.
โ€œAwwwnโ€ They said making me feel shy.

I cleared my throat and swiped to the โ€˜recieverโ€™ nervously.

?Hi Loveโ€ His breathtaking voice sounded in my ears.
My heart pumped happily.

I noticed my friends have stopped eating,they were staring at me.

Damn!
Where the hell did i get this friends from?

?Sweetie,are you there?โ€ Danโ€™s voice jolted me.

?Yesโ€ฆIโ€™m hereโ€ I said.

?How are you and how was your night?โ€

?Iโ€™m fine,my night was splendid. Yours?โ€ I asked.

? Iโ€™m fine and my night went great cause it was filled with the thought of youโ€ He said making my cheeks grow hot.

?Ohh..โ€ I smiled.

?Have you had your breakfast?โ€ He asked.

?Iโ€™m having it presently. You?โ€

?We just finished our breakfast and weโ€™re thinking of coming over before adventure startsโ€ He said.

Yes!
I canโ€™t wait to see his face.

? Okay,start coming over. Iโ€™ve missed your faceโ€ I said.

?I missed your face more,will be there soon. Kissesโ€ He said and disconnected the call.

I dropped my phone,still grinning.

โ€œHeโ€™s coming overโ€ I said and started rushing my breakfast.
โ€œIs Dave coming with him?โ€ Theresa asked.
โ€œYeahโ€ I said.

โ€œVie,we also need to get boyfriendsโ€ Ashlyn said and we laughed.
โ€œDave havenโ€™t asked me to be his girlfriend yetโ€ Theresa said.
โ€œItโ€™s so obvious heโ€™s gonna do that soonโ€ Ashlyn said to the pink-cheeked Theresa.

I smiled, wondering who blushes more between Theresa and i.

โ€œLetโ€™s finish up our breakfast quick, theyโ€™ll be here soonโ€ Theresa said.
Iโ€™m almost done with mine.
*
I was gulping down water when Dan walked in with Dave.

He flashed a cute smile at me and i nearly choked on water.
How could someone be this handsome?
His dressing is simple yet it looked great on him.
Iโ€™m proud to have him as mine.

My heart started making that familiar movement.
I dropped my water and smiled back at him.

He closed the gap between us and pecked me on both cheeks before placing a light kiss on my lips.
My heart leaped and i couldnโ€™t hold my smile as he sat beside me.

Geez! I didnโ€™t realize they were all staring at us.
I felt my cheeks go purple.

โ€œYou look more beautiful when you blushโ€ Dan whispered to me and i blushed more.
โ€œI need to take a picture of you right nowโ€ He said bringing out his phone.

โ€œNo, donโ€™tโ€ I said.
โ€œI willโ€ He said making a funny face.
โ€œStop, donโ€™tโ€ i laughed.
He raised his phone up and i quickly grabbed it from him.
โ€œAh! What a girlfriendโ€ He rolled his eyes and i laughed.
โ€œUgh! What a boyfriendโ€ I over-rolled my eyes and everyone laughed.

?All students should head out for day 9 adventure in Tropical island?

โ€œYaaaaayโ€

? ? ?

โ€œEveryone pose properlyโ€ Vie said.
Danโ€™s hand was curved round my shoulders,he kissed my hair as Vie took the shot.

There were camera clicks everywhere.

Weโ€™re in tropical Island, everyone was having fun including the teachers,i noticed how remorseful Mr Jones looked.
Wellโ€ฆi donโ€™t care,weโ€™ve gotten our necklaces back and thatโ€™s all that matters.

We took several pictures before joining the group of students that was touring round the island, the teachers explained some things to us and we gladly jotted them down.
Danโ€™s hand was curved round my shoulders all the while and i couldnโ€™t stop smiling.

This whole view is damn beautiful and iโ€™m starting to wish i could stay here forever.

?{Night}?

We all headed back to our cabin in the night,they made us stay long in the island simply because today is our last day of adventure.
Everyone will be in their cabins tomorrow, weโ€™ll only come out in the night to make bonfire and set up fireworks.
Iโ€™m looking forward to that,i know there will be so much fun.

โ€œI had so much funโ€ I said as we all walked into our cabin.
โ€œMe tooโ€ The rest chorused, everyone except Dan and i falling tiredly on their beds.
โ€œI feel like sleepingโ€ Vie said.
โ€œIt seems youโ€™ve made jacqโ€™s bed yoursโ€ I said.
โ€œYes ofcourseโ€ She yawned.

I sighed when i saw Dave already laying beside Theresa who looks like sheโ€™s gonna pop soon with love.
Ashlyn was already dozing off and i wondered if she slept walk all the way back to our cabin.

โ€œWonโ€™t you all have your night bath?โ€ I shouted but none if them replied.
Theyโ€™ve gone to dreamland.

โ€œAh!โ€ I sighed and glanced at Dan who was standing beside me.
โ€œThey are all exhaustedโ€ He said as we walked down to my bed.

I sat on the bed and was about unbuckling my sandals but Dan offered to.
โ€œThanksโ€ I smiled and watched him do it.
He started massaging my feet after he was done pulling off my sandals.

I smiled,i was less shy cause others were asleep.
I stood up some minutes after he was done,i opened my box and brought out my pajamas.

โ€œI want to go showerโ€ I said to Dan.
He nodded. โ€œI will also shower after youโ€™re doneโ€ He said.
โ€œThat means youโ€™ll have to go pick your pajamasโ€ i said and he stood up.
โ€œYeah,let me go get itโ€ He said and walked out of the cabin,i also walked into the bathroom.
*
I walked out of the bathroom in my pajamas, feeling so refreshed.
Dan was sitting on the bed, holding his blue pajamas,he was busy with his phone.

โ€œHey,Iโ€™m doneโ€ I said and he glanced up with a smile.
โ€œWow!โ€ He exclaimed running his gaze all over my body.
โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked,my cheeks going pink as i wrapped my hands over my chest.
โ€œYour beauty is rare,Iโ€™ve never seen anyone as beautiful as youโ€ He said.

โ€œThanks loveโ€ I grinned.
โ€œIโ€™m glad youโ€™re mineโ€ He said.
โ€œAnd Iโ€™m glad youโ€™re mine too, now quickly go have your bath so we can sleepโ€
โ€œOkay babeโ€ He said and walked into the bathroom.

I smiled happily before jumping on the bed.
**
Minutes later,we were both sleeping in each others arms and for the first time,i had a beautiful dream.

?{Next day}?

We laughed at Vieโ€™s joke as we ate our lunch.
We were in the cabin, chatting and laughing.

I never knew it was this interesting to have friends.
Iโ€™ve been missing all along.

โ€œDo you want more noodles?โ€ Dan asked me,i was done with my noodles but Iโ€™m not filled yet.
โ€œYesโ€ I said.
โ€œOkay,pick your chopstick letโ€™s eat mine togetherโ€ He said and i did.
โ€œNo,wait. i want to feed youโ€ He said and i giggled.

He started feeding me and i must confess that the noodles was more tasty this way.

We continued our talks and was interrupted by the knock on the door.
I think the cooks are back to pack the dishes but weโ€™re not done yet.

โ€œCome inโ€ Dan said,the door opened and we were all surprised to see Jacq walk in, staring at her feet.

โ€œOhh..youโ€™re here to pick your box right? Mind you Iโ€™ve taken over your bedโ€ Vie said.
I was more surprised when Karissa and Travis walked in behind her,they closed the door and stood in front of us, looking sorry.

Jacq and Karissa suddenly bursted into tears and we all exchanged glances, wondering what was going on.

โ€œPlease forgive me,Iโ€™m so sorryโ€ Jacq pleaded in tears.
โ€œForgive me too pleaseโ€ karissa cried.
โ€œIโ€™m sorryโ€ Travis said.

No one spoke a word,we were surprised.
Wow!
I never thought they could apologise.

I sighed and looked at Dan.

โ€œJacq, Karissa you both were my friends,why did you turn to my enemies?โ€ Dan asked.
โ€œIโ€™m so sorry Dan, Anel. I know Iโ€™ve wronged you both. Please forgive me. I did everything just because i love you Danโ€ Jacq said.
โ€œWhat!โ€ Dan exclaimed and i smiled..

Iโ€™ve known this for longโ€ฆ Jacq loves Dan.
Too badโ€ฆi gat him now!

โ€œIโ€™ve always loved you but you only see me as a friend, Iโ€™ve tried all i could to make you see me in another light but you didnโ€™t, so i thought of doing all i can to make you mine. I was the one behind those provocative messages,i saw how much you liked Anel so i decided to..to split the both of you but it didnโ€™t work. Please Iโ€™m sorryโ€ Jacq said in tears and everyone gasped in surprise.
Iโ€™m not surprised though.

โ€œWhat! You mean,you sent those pictures of Anel with Travis?โ€ Dan asked and she nodded.

โ€œGosh!โ€ He ran his hands through his hair and then glanced at me.
โ€œArenโ€™t you surprised?โ€ He asked.
โ€œIโ€™m not, cause i already found out before now. That was the reason i pounced on karissa in class,i thought she was the only one involved,i didnโ€™t know Jacq was tooโ€ I said and Dan gasped.
โ€œWhy didnโ€™t you tell me?โ€ He asked.
โ€œI donโ€™t want to mar your friendship,itโ€™s good you found out yourselfโ€ I said.

โ€œDamn!โ€ He let out a deep breath.
I patted his back slowly.

โ€œIโ€™m so sorry Dan, please forgive me. Iโ€™ve realized my mistake and iโ€™ve already turned a new leafโ€ Jacq sniffed.
โ€œDan, i need your forgiveness. I did all i did cause i thought i love you but Iโ€™ve now realized it was your looks i fell in love with. Iโ€™m so sorry for the pains Iโ€™ve caused you and Anel, you both should please forgive meโ€ Karissa pleaded.

โ€œDan,i know i shouldnโ€™t be involved in all of this but i am because of the jealousy and hate i have towards you,Iโ€™ve always hated the fact that you looked more handsome,the fact that girls prefer you to me,the fact that..that you like Asanel and she likes you too. Iโ€™m so so sorry,i have my regrets now, please forgive meโ€ Travis said.

Dan sighed..โ€Iโ€™m finding it hard to take all these in..iโ€ฆIโ€™m shockedโ€
โ€œYou should beโ€ I said.

โ€œPlease Dan,Anel weโ€™re sorry. Forgive usโ€ They chorused, crying except Travis who was obviously trying to hold his tears.

Dan looked at meโ€ฆ

โ€œLetโ€™s forgive them huh?โ€ I whispered to him and he nodded.
โ€œIโ€™ve forgiven you guysโ€ I said.
โ€œThanks Anelโ€ They chorused and faced Dan who hesitated before speaking up.
โ€œFine,the deed is done and i donโ€™t see the reason why i should not forgive you. You are all forgivenโ€ Dan said.
โ€œThanks so much Danโ€ They smiled,wiping their tears.

โ€œBut?โ€ Dan paused.
โ€œBut what?โ€ They asked and i wonder what heโ€™s about to say.
โ€œWe canโ€™t be friends anymoreโ€ He said and i saw Jacq and karissaโ€™s faces drop.
Tears filled their eyes once more and i felt pity for them.

โ€œDan pleaseโ€ฆโ€ They were pleading but he cut them off.
โ€œIโ€™ve totally forgiven you,i have nothing against you guys anymore but Iโ€™m sorry we canโ€™t continue being friendsโ€ He said with a note of finality,stood up and walked out.

I sighed and glanced at them.

โ€œWellโ€ฆ weโ€™ve forgiven you completely so you can leaveโ€ I said.
โ€œThanks so muchโ€ Travis said and walked out.
โ€œYou caused this! You this sheep! You caused everything. You pushed me to do what i never wanted toโ€ Karissa yelled in Jacqโ€™s face.
โ€œShut up!โ€ Jacq yelled back.

โ€œYou both can keep yelling at each other but please go do that outsideโ€ Theresa said.

They both walked out slowly, looking sad.

โ€œWow! I never knew they did something this hugeโ€ Theresa said.
โ€œIโ€™m surprisedโ€ Ashlyn said.
โ€œTheir confession was not very shocking to meโ€ I said.
โ€œIโ€™m glad Dan already cut ties with themโ€ Vie said.

โ€œI need to go meet himโ€ I said and stood up.
I walked out of the cabin,in search for Dan.

?{Night}?

Every students danced round the bonfire singing and clapping our hands happily.

?Itโ€™s our last night here,everyone danceeeeโ€?

โ€œYaaaaayโ€ We all shouted happily, singing and dancing more than before.
Iโ€™m having so much fun.
Dan tickled me as i danced and i canโ€™t stop laughing.

The atmosphere is bright and lively,the night looking more beautiful.

We danced and danced round the bonfire till we got tired.

?Everyone are you ready for fireworks??

โ€œYessssโ€ We shouted happily and watched as the teachers set up fireworks.
โ€œWow!โ€We all exclaimed, staring at the beautiful fireworks in the sky.

?You can make a wish?

There was silence and the moment was priceless.

I never thought Iโ€™d be in midst of people,i never thought i could be this happy.
Lord i thank you for your grace,i thank you for making me see the light.

โ€˜i wish my happiness and every other personโ€™s will last longโ€™

Everyone brought out the phones and started taking pictures and i made sure i didnโ€™t miss out.

? ? ?

30 minutes later,the fireworks were over.
Most of the students were already thinking about returning to the cabins when i thought of something.

โ€œDanโ€ I called.
โ€œHuh?โ€ He answered.
โ€œWhy donโ€™t we create more fun tonight?โ€ I asked.
โ€œMore fun? How?โ€ He asked.
โ€œWe can make the lake golden and invite everyone to swim,theyโ€™ll be so happy and amazedโ€ I said and Danโ€™s eyes lit up.
โ€œGood ideaโ€ He smiled.

โ€œWho wants to swim in a golden lake?โ€ I asked loudly in my tiny voice .
There was silence for a while,most of them thought i was joking.
โ€œIโ€™m not joking guys,who wants to swim in a golden lake?โ€ I asked again and they hesitated before shouting;
โ€œMeeeeeโ€

โ€œCome with us Everyoneโ€ I said and took hold of Danโ€™s hand.
We started running to the lake with the students and teachers following us.

We got to the lake and stopped..everyone has gathered.
โ€œShould we dip our necklaces in it or get in?โ€ I asked.
โ€œLetโ€™s get inโ€ Dan said and we smiled at each other before jumping into the lake, Dan was holding me though,Iโ€™m a bad swimmer.

Everyone watched expectantly and i smiled as our necklaces started sparkling,it was so bright that it covered the lake immediately making it turn golden.

Everyone gasped except our friends who already knew.

โ€œOMG!

Is this true?

Am i seeing things?

Look! Itโ€™s truly golden.

So beautifulโ€ฆโ€ They chorused.

โ€œNow everyone do you wanna swim in the golden lake?โ€ I asked.
โ€œYessssโ€ They screamed happily jumping into the lake one after the other including the teachers!

Wow!

Everyone is looking so happy and amazed.
Iโ€™m glad we were all having fun even though the lake is crowded.

I turned to Dan and kissed him hard.
He returned my kiss and i quickly pulled away when things was starting to get hot.

He smiled.
โ€œI love youโ€ He shouted in my ears.
โ€œI love you tooโ€ I shouted back and hugged him tightly.


Itโ€™s late, everyone has gone back to their cabins except Dan and i,we were both seated at the edge of the lake.
The moon shone brightly into the lake, making it sparkle, I cherish this view so much and Iโ€™m sure gonna miss it.

I shivered and Dan drew me closer.
We were yet to get out of our wet clothes.

โ€œAnelโ€ He called.
โ€œHuh?โ€ I asked.
โ€œHowโ€™s Liam going to take our relationship?โ€ He asked and i glanced up at him. Heโ€™s looking worried.
I smiled..โ€Dan, thereโ€™s nothing to be worried about okay? Iโ€™m sure Liamโ€™s mind is already softened,he would gladly accept usโ€ I said.

โ€œAre you sure?โ€
โ€œOfcourse i am, Liam wonโ€™t oppose our love. His mind is already softened,he called me yesterday asking of youโ€ I said.

โ€œReally?โ€ He smiled.
โ€œYeahโ€ I said.
โ€œWow, Iโ€™m so happy. Weโ€™re good to goโ€ He brushed back my hair with his hand.
โ€œYeah..yeahโ€ i said and poked his chest.
We both laughed.

โ€œI think this adventure was specially made for our sake, cause a lot of things happened to us here and we conquered it allโ€ Dan said.
โ€œYes,it was specially made for us but Dan i want everything that happened here to be our little secretโ€ I said.
โ€œOhhโ€ฆno problem,trust me i wonโ€™t tell anyone,but maybe we will have to tell our children in the futureโ€ He said and i smiled.
โ€œOfcourseโ€ I grinned happily.

I rested my head on his shoulder,and my gaze fell on the lake.
So beauโ€ฆ

My hearbeat increased when i suddenly saw a huge shadow in the lake and it was getting nearer.
I gripped Danโ€™s hand in fear and quickly closed my eyes.

โ€œWater monsterโ€ I screamed, clinging to Dan tightly.
I expected him to tell us to run but he didnโ€™t,he was laughing instead.

โ€œAnel,itโ€™s Vieโ€ He said still laughing.
โ€œHuh?โ€ I opened one of my eyes.
โ€œLook,itโ€™s Vieโ€ he laughed hard holding his stomach.
I opened my second eyes and glanced up, truly it was Vie,she was approaching us. I looked back at the lake and realized it was her shadow.

Damn!

JUST FOR LOVE 2 Episode 51 by Azeemah Salami

?Anelโ€™s POV?

We all started packing our boxes when we were told the buses are here to take us back to school.
We are all feeling sad.

We were served breakfast and we all ate in silence..i couldnโ€™t finish my breakfast cause my throat was tightened with tears.
I dropped the remaining burger and my untouched coffee.

?Everyone come out,itโ€™s time to go back home?

Tears dropped from my eyes and i quickly wiped it off but more kept coming.
Vie also started crying, Theresa followed and Ashlyn. Dave and Dan were fighting back their own tears.

?Come out students,the buses are ready?

We all stood up and picked our boxes.
Dan passed me a handkerchief and i wiped my tears.

He drew me closer to his chest and patted my back.
I cried loudly, soaking the front of his t-shirt.

I wonโ€™t be seeing my friends regularly anymore.
I wonโ€™t be seeing the lakeโ€ฆ
Iโ€™m gonna miss this place,this is the only place i got to know a lot of things.

We all walked out of the cabin.
Lots of students were crying and most of the teachers looked teary.

?It was nice having everyone come together,i hope you all enjoyed your ten days adventure??
โ€œYesโ€ Few people said,the rest of us were in tears.
?The buses are waiting at the other end,letโ€™s go everyone?

Slowly, everyone started moving.
โ€œStop crying love,you know we canโ€™t stay here foreverโ€ Dan said,still patting my back.
I nodded and wiped my tears.
โ€œDonโ€™t you miss home?โ€ He asked.
โ€œI do but Iโ€™m gonna miss hereโ€ i sniffed.
โ€œSure,Iโ€™m gonna miss here too. Stop crying huh?โ€ He said and i nodded.

We were about to cross the footbridge and i took one last glance at the cabins,tears dropped from my eyes and Dan helped me wipe it off as he led me towards the waiting bus.
We entered the first bus and sat at the back with our friends,soon it was filled and the remaining students entered the second bus.
Two teachers were in our bus, Mrs Claude and Mr Rolland.
Iโ€™m glad Mr Jones is in the other bus.

Jacq and Karissa are not here but i can see Travis in the second role.
I sighed sadly when the driver turned on the ignition.
Weโ€™re leavingโ€ฆ

The bus was not as lively as when we were coming.
Everyone is sad and most students dont want to leave yet.

The driver started driving away and i tried hard not to cry.
Dan was smoothening my hair with his palm.

Minutes later,we were on the main road.
I fell asleep on Danโ€™s shoulder.

**

I opened my eyes when i felt taps on my shoulder.
I yawned and raised up my head from Danโ€™s shoulder.
I noticed the bus has stopped moving.

โ€œWeโ€™re in school babeโ€ Dan smiled.
โ€œHuh?โ€ I cleared my eyes and looked around,truly weโ€™ve gotten to school.
I smiled, so happy to be back here but Iโ€™m missing my cabin also.

Students were starting to alight and Iโ€™m glad everyoneโ€™s mood has improved.

We all picked our boxes waiting for our turn to alight.
We are at the back seat so we will alight last.

โ€œUgh!โ€ I sighed when it finally got to our turn.
Dan helped me with my box as we all got down from the bus.

I stretched.

โ€œWeโ€™re back in schoolโ€ Vie smiled.
โ€œIโ€™m so happy to be backโ€ Theresa said.
โ€œMe tooโ€ Ashlyn said.
โ€œCount me in tooโ€ Dave said in a very funny way and we laughed.

My phone vibrated in my pocket.
I pulled it out.
โ€˜Liamโ€™
I swiped to the receiver before placing it on my ear.

?Hi Liam.

?How are you Anel?

?Iโ€™m fine. Weโ€™ve gotten to school.

?Thank goodness! that was what i was about to ask. Iโ€™ll ask the driver to come pick you now.

?Okay Liam.

?We have some surprises for youโ€ฆ

?Really?โ€ I smiled.

?Yeah..

?I canโ€™t wait, howโ€™s Ana?โ€ I asked.

? Sheโ€™s fine and sheโ€™s badly expecting you.

I smiled ?i canโ€™t wait to see her too.

?Okay,the driver will be there soon.

?Okay, Bye

?Bye.

I disconnected the call and dropped my phone back in my pocket.
I turned back to my friends.

โ€œSo..whatโ€™s up?โ€ I asked.
โ€œOh..my,we havenโ€™t exchanged contacts yetโ€ Theresa said.
โ€œOhhโ€ฆ trueโ€ I said fetching my phone from my pocket.

We all exchanged contacts and after that we went to sit on a bench.
Students roamed about,most of them still discussing about our summer camp.

โ€œWe all have to meet after leaving hereโ€ Dan said.
โ€œYeahโ€ We chorused and i felt a bit sad.
Iโ€™m gonna miss my friends.
โ€œLetโ€™s meet in my house,i will text the address to everyone of youโ€ Dan said.
โ€œOkayโ€

โ€œSo when are we meeting?โ€ Dave asked.
โ€œA day after tomorrow should be fine right?โ€ Ashlyn suggested.
โ€œYeahโ€

Some students whose cars has arrived started trooping out of the gate.
โ€œI think my driver is hereโ€ Dave said after receiving a call.
We all stood up and hugged him one after the other.
โ€œIโ€™ll miss you guys,you made my days at the camp fun and Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing everyone againโ€ He said and was about walking away but he stopped and pecked Theresa who gasped in surprise.
He smiled and waved at us before walking away.

I smiled when i saw the colour of Theresaโ€™s cheeks.
Damn!

We all sat down in silence waiting for our drivers to show up.

Vie also stood up after receiving a call.
โ€œMy dad is hereโ€ She smiled and stood up.
We all hugged her bye.

Theresa and ashlyn also left remaining Dan and i .

โ€œLetโ€™s go stay outside the gate so we will know when our cars are hereโ€ He said.
โ€œOkayโ€ I said and stood up,i was about picking up my box but he beat me to it.
โ€œAhโ€ I sighed.. โ€œDan,i can carry it myselfโ€ I said.
โ€œNah! I canโ€™t let you carry anything while Iโ€™m with youโ€ He winked making me smile.

Am i not lucky?

We both walked to the gate, stepped out and stood beside each other.
We kept ourselves busy with small talks while waiting for our drivers to show up.

โ€œIโ€™m missing them alreadyโ€ I said.
โ€œMe tooโ€ Dan said.
โ€œI miss the camp too and the lakeโ€ i said resisting the urge to cry.
Dan sighed..โ€Iโ€™ll keep remembering the lake every nightโ€
โ€œNow,you will make me cryโ€ I said.
โ€œSorryโ€ He said.

โ€œDan,come with your parents to our place todayโ€ I said.
โ€œHuh? Why?โ€ He asked obviously surprised.
โ€œWe need to settle everything,โ€ I said.
โ€œLiam might throw us outโ€ He said.
โ€œHe wonโ€™tโ€ I said.
โ€œAre you sure?โ€ He asked.
โ€œTrust me,he wonโ€™tโ€ I said.
โ€œMy parents might not want to comeโ€
โ€œPlease make them. Donโ€™t you want peace between our families?โ€ I asked.
โ€œI do.. of course i doโ€ He said.

โ€œThen letโ€™s make that happenโ€ I said.
โ€œOkay, Iโ€™ll tryโ€ He said.

I saw my car pulled up in front of us.
I smiled and stared at Dan.
โ€œI have to leave nowโ€ I said.
โ€œIโ€™m gonna miss youโ€ He said, walking me to my car.
โ€œMe too, besides we will be seeing each other later todayโ€ I said.

We stood by my carโ€ฆ
Dan bent and pecked my cheeks,and then brushed his lips over mine.
I smiled, wishing the kiss lasted longer.
He opened the car door and i got in,he placed my box beside me and waved me Bye.
โ€œByeโ€ I waved back.

He closed my car door and smiled.

โ€œMy car is also here..bye Angelโ€ He blew kisses at me before walking away.
I smiled and watched him leave.
I said โ€˜hiโ€™ to Jack,my driver.
โ€œHow have you been?โ€ He asked.
โ€œIโ€™ve been fine Jackโ€ I said and adjusted in the backseat.

He turned on the ignition and started driving home.
I canโ€™t wait to see everyone again and i canโ€™t also wait to see the surprise they have for me.
I peered out of the window as Jack drove on..

Iโ€™m just realizing how much Iโ€™ve missed everything.

I was elated when we finally got home, Jack pulled into the compound.
I grabbed my box and alighted from the car,i didnโ€™t wait to close the car door before rushing to the front porch.

I opened the door and stepped in.
I smiled as a familiar scent welcomed me.

โ€œIโ€™m homeโ€ I shouted happily as i walked into the living room.
I dropped my box.
โ€œAnelโ€ I heard Ana screamed from the stairs,she appeared seconds later running right into my arms.
I hugged her tightly and then kissed her curly blonde hair.

โ€œI miss you Anelโ€ She said.
โ€œI missed you moreโ€ I smiled and lifted her up.
โ€œUgh! Youโ€™ve added more weightโ€ I said dropping her immediately.
She rolled her eyes and i laughed..

Damn! Iโ€™ve missed this girl.

โ€œHow have you been?โ€ I asked.
โ€œIโ€™ve been fine but i was bored during your absenceโ€ She pouted.
โ€œIโ€™m back now sisโ€ I winked.
She smiled.

โ€œWhereโ€™s Liam and Mum?โ€ I asked.
โ€œWe are hereโ€ I heard their voices and then glanced up to see them smiling brightly.
They looked different though.
I grinned happily and ran into their arms.
Just ten days and i missed them badly.

They both pecked me on each cheek.
โ€œI miss you so muchโ€ Mum said pulling me into another hug.
โ€œI miss you too Mum and howโ€™s the baby doing?โ€ I asked.
โ€œFineโ€ She smiled and rubbed her baby bump proudly.

โ€œHowโ€™ve you been Anel?โ€ Liam asked.
โ€œFine,i missed everyoneโ€ I said.
โ€œHow was your summer camp,was it fun?โ€ He asked.
โ€œIncredibly fun. I took lots of pictures and i canโ€™t wait to show them to youโ€ I smiled.
โ€œReally?โ€ They smiled.
โ€œYesโ€ I said.

โ€œAnelโ€ Mary called before rushing to me.
โ€œMaryโ€ I smiled hugging her back.
โ€œHow have you been?โ€ She asked.
โ€œIโ€™ve been fine and you?โ€
โ€œIโ€™m good Anel,i already prepared your mealโ€ She Smiled.
โ€œThanks so much..i miss you and i miss your delicious meals tooโ€ I said and she smiled before returning to the kitchen.

I glanced round the living room and smiled.
โ€œI miss home too,i canโ€™t wait to to get to my room. Bring my box Anaโ€ I said, about climbing the stairs to my room when Liam stopped me.

โ€œOur surpriseโ€ He said and pointed to my back.
I turned and saw Milana.

โ€œMilanaโ€ I screamed happily and jumped into her arms.
She smiled and drew my cheeks playfully.

โ€œI hope youโ€™re not here cause you have a film to shoot?โ€ I asked and she laughed.
โ€œNah,Iโ€™m here to spend some time with youโ€ She said.
โ€œYes! You keep looking more beautifulโ€ I said staring at her face.

โ€œThank youโ€ She smiled and turned dramatically for me to check her out.
I laughed.
โ€œHowโ€™s Thack Holcomb?โ€ I whispered to her and she hissed before rolling her eyes.

โ€œAh!โ€ I sighed..โ€Well, i have a lot of gistโ€ I said.
โ€œReally?โ€ Her face lit up.
โ€œYeahโ€ I smiled, thinking about Dan.

โ€œOur surprise is not over yet..โ€ Liam smiled.
โ€œReally?โ€
โ€œYeahโ€ He said pointing to the stairs.
My gaze trailed to the stairs and it landed on;

โ€œFallen angelsโ€ I screamed happily in a deafening way before rushing to them.


We were all seated round the dining table, having a meal.
โ€œIโ€™m so happy to have you both aroundโ€ I said to Migvin.

These people are damn cute,they are the real definition of beauty..i mean beauty resides in them.
They are not young anymore yet they look like youngsters.

Their son, milโ€™s brother is studying engineering in the states.

โ€œWeโ€™re glad to be here too darlingโ€ Vinnie smiled.
โ€œI want you both to sing for me when weโ€™re done eatingโ€ I said.
โ€œNo problem with thatโ€ Miguel said,helping Vin to tuck her hair behind her ears.

Awwwn.

โ€œThanks so much Migvin,your necklaces saved usโ€ I said.

โ€œLiam filled us in on everything before your arrival,Iโ€™m so sorry about your mumโ€™s death. Itโ€™s so painful,but Iโ€™ll be very plain; no one caused her death,it was already destined so i think no one should be blamed for it โ€ Miguel said.
I nodded,tears filling my eyes.

โ€œComโ€™on Anel, donโ€™t cry huh?โ€ Vinnie patted my back and i nodded.
โ€œBesides i love your name; Asanelโ€ She said.
โ€œThanksโ€ I smiled.
โ€œI love your name tooโ€ i said.
โ€œThank youโ€ She giggled like a teenager.

โ€œThe last time you came to Australia,you were a bit cold but now,youโ€™re the complete oppositeโ€ Mig said and i smiled.
โ€œWellโ€ฆmy boyfriend made me changeโ€ I said and they all gasped.

โ€œYour boyfriend?โ€ Liam asked.
โ€œYes, Dan and i are in a relationshipโ€ I said, prepared for what will come next.
โ€œYes!โ€ Mil screamed happily and we both exchanged high-five.
โ€œThat guy is cute,Iโ€™m glad you made the right choiceโ€ She whispered to me.

โ€œI love him so muchโ€ I said,loud enough for everyone to hear.
Liam looked surprised while Mum smiled, Ana giggled and i saw Mary peeping from the kitchen,she was smiling approvingly.
I laughedโ€ฆit seems theyโ€™re happy about me dating Dan except Liam of course.

โ€œYou mean Dan,the son of your motherโ€™s friend?โ€ Vinnie asked.
โ€œYeahโ€ I nodded.
โ€œGood! Thatโ€™s how it should be,you both need to fill in for the love your parents missedโ€ She said.
I smiledโ€ฆ โ€œThank you maโ€™am,i hope youโ€™re not leaving anytime soon?โ€
โ€œNah! We will be here for a weekโ€
โ€œYes! Iโ€™m so happy and Iโ€™m looking forward to the days Iโ€™ll spend with you both.โ€ I said.

I avoided Liamโ€™s stern gaze as we kept on eating.
He should take it or leave itโ€ฆIโ€™m dating Dan and nothing can stop me!


We sat in the living room, relaxing and watching one of the movie Mil starred in.
The happiness in her parents eyes was priceless,it shows how proud they were of their daughter.

The doorbell rang twice and Mary quickly went to get it.

Is Dan here with his family?

I sat up to see the person at the door.
Dan! And his family,his biological mum is present too.

They all walked into the living room and i glanced at Liam whose expression was unreadable.
He suddenly stood up and my heard started beating fast when he walked towards Artist Shaw.

Did he want to hit him again?
I shouldnโ€™t have told Dan to come with his family.
Ahh!

I was about standing up too when Liam surprised everyone by pulling Artist Shaw into a hug.

What!
Am i starting to see wrongly?
