✯ Chris ✯

Unwillingly... nah not unwillingly but co-incidentally my eyes darted towards her. She was standing with a man. He might be of my age, tall, handsome, mascular , well dressed, wait. What’s the need to describe this man? Who so ever he is, i should not care neither i do care.

“Don’t worry dude, he is her brother, Niel.” Array told me as if he read my mind.

“Will you shut up? It’s done man, you know i'm not that kinda person who will fall for girls. I have a lot of things to do and i seriously don’t have time for this love drama.” i replied in a serious tone.

“Calm down calm down, i was just teasing you, after all it’s been almost an year that i hadn’t tease you.” He said winking at me but i maintained my serious expressions.

“Okay let’s go, i will make you meet someone.” He said.

“Will you make one thing clear?” i asked

“I know what you want to know. Let me tell you, here are few people present whom who had never seen before because this birthday of mom is special one and she had invited each and everyone close to her, personally. That’s why you met her today.” He knows what i wanted to ask that’s why he is my best friend.

“And yeah, she is Anaya’s mother.” He said pointing towards that unknown lady standing with my mom and Morgan Aunt.

Seriously? So he was making me feel embarrassed in front of her mother. I glared at him but before i could say something, Anaya’s brother had approached us along with her.

From her face expressions it seemed like she doesn’t want to come. Hmm interesting, until now all the girls i have met always try to stay around me with some excuse but this one isn’t like them.

Okay! She is different. I don’t know when they exchanged hi hellos, i was lost in my thoughts, luckily i wasn’t staring at her.

“Hey, Neil Cassiano.” Niel forwarded his hand.

“Chris Watson.” I said shaking hand with him.

I know it’s gonna get awkward but thanks to my luck, i got a call and excused myself. Although that call wasn’t important yet i opt to take up the call.

~~~❤️~~~

✯ Anaya ✯

I don’t want to meet Array and his friend again. I even told Neil that i've met them still he wanted me to meet them again and i know i'll end up staring his friend's eyes and he may consider me a cheesy girl but Neil dragged me to them. It’s not that i care what he thinks of me but i don’t want myself to be tagged as cheesy.

“Hey dude.” Array spoke up to Neil.

“Hello dude, how’s you?”

“Good as always, you say, still protecting your little cute sister.” He said like a joke but honestly i didn’t felt like laughing.

I know Array won’t call me ‘Fuggie’ in front of Neil because if he does then he'll have to face my extra protective brother’s sweet words.

“Well, i’ll always do it afterall she is my little sister.” Neil said pulling my nose.

“Bro, it hurts.” I said pouting.

“I must say you grown up more cute.” Array said.

To my shock Neil smiled at this compliment and i blushed a little.

“Meet him, he is my best friend, Chris Watson.” Array said looking at Chris who seemed to be lost in deep thoughts.

Okay, he looks stunning when he is thinking because his narrowed eyes look way to much captivating.

“Hey, Neil Cassiano.”  Neil forwarded hand for handshake.

“Chris Watson.”

What’s the need of telling his name again. So he is really thinking something very deep. Just then he got a call, thank god. He stepped away from us.

Array and Neil were talking about random topics which they always does. I remember once i've heard them talking about shoes, like seriously. Is that only topic left to be discussed.

Anyways i ignored their talks and turned my gaze to the party view. Unfortunately my eyes met with his. He was still on call and i cursed myself for looking at him and immediately darted my eyes from him.

Now he'll definitely think that i’m such a weirdo. I excused myself from there and went in the backyard of the house that used to be my happy place.

I closed my eyes and breathed. I could smell the fragrance of night-blooming jasmine plant. I felt so calm and relaxed. I whirled around in joy with my open arms. I was like i am flying in the sky.

“I wish i could go back in time and enjoy my happy moments again.” I said to myself.

Cold breeze touched my cheeks and unknowingly my lips curled into a smile. I enjoyed the surroundings for some more time until Array came calling my name.

“I know you would be here.” He said when he saw me.

“How?” i asked raising my brows.

“This used to be your favourite place in childhood, no?”

“You remember?” oh my goodness, it felt more than good that someone remembers things related to me.

“Obviously i do.” He said smiling genuinely.

I smiled at him and he smiled placing his hand on his heart and closing his eyes as if my smile hit him on his heart. I rolled my eyes.

“My goodness. You are such a drama.” I said.

“What to do when the most beautiful girl is standing in front of me and as I'm not that good looking so i need to do something to impress her.” He winked at me and smiled.

I blushed. I'm not used to such comments although my best friend flirts with me but he roasts me too so i don’t think so that i’m beautiful.

“Firstly, you are handsome and secondly, i'm not most beautiful and you don’t need to impress me.”

“So you are already impressed, my good luck.” He said.

No doubt he very well knows how to flirt with a girl and make her blush.

“No, i'm not and i won't be that’s why i'm saying you don’t need to.” I said smiling.

“Then why are you blushing?” he asked raising his brows.

“Because i don’t get such comments. You are the first one who is giving me compliment and your compliments can make any girl blush.” I replied instantly.

“Really? I don’t believe it.”

“Believe it, man.” I chuckled.

He smiled but i felt he is shocked through his expressions.

“Let’s go, mom is searching for you.” he said and we both went in.

It was the first time that i had a normal conversation with him because he always used to tease me and keeps calling me Fuggie so i never talked to him properly.
