MICHAEL'S POV:
I came back from Australia after a business trip and came directly to my office. I really want to meet Susi but she must be at her college so I can't meet her yet.
As soon as I entered my cabin I saw my childhood best friend and also my crush's protective elder brother not to forget my twin sister's fiancé, Travis sitting on the couch waiting for me.
"Hey bro!"I said to him and he looked up from his laptop.
"Hi!" he said standing up and we both bumped our fists which we always do whenever we meet.
"So, Vis..."I was saying when he said, "No one calls me that other than my baby sis and I let you go since you are my childhood best friend and also my fiancé’s brother." glaring at me.
That's true. He really can do damage to one's face only for calling him Vis.
"Ok. Calm down. I was just teasing you."I said and put my hands to surrender.
He smiled.
"So, why are you here? Is there something wrong, Vik?"I said. My friend comes to visit me but not come here and wait for me to return from a business trip. So, I was curious about his unusual appearance.
He looked at me nervously and sighed.
"What do you think about Sus?" he asked me looking at me seriously.
I looked at him shocked. Why is he asking me such a question? Did he realize that I love his sister? I don't know what he will do now? I am tensed, he is my best friend and also my childhood friend.
"What do you mean? I think of her as your sister. What else will I think?"I said trying to be funny and laughed.
But he didn't. He just looked at me seriously.
"What do you think about her not including that she is my sister?" he asked me being more specific.
"Why? Are you saying you don't want her as your sister? Why?"I said trying to sound both shocked and funny. I just want to avoid this question and also this awkward feeling.
He sighed seeing I am being stubborn.
"I always heard the rumors of you being in love with a girl, is it true? Are you still in love with her?" he changed the question.
Now, these questions are more awkward. Every time a girl asked me out or my friends try to set me up with some girl or ask me why I don't get myself a girlfriend, I used to tell them that I already love a girl but I can't ask her out now, which is actually true. So, the rumors were always around about me being in love and if I even talk to a girl there will be a rumor of her being the girl I love but no one ever knew who the girl was.
And as for my friend Travis, he never asked me as he thought that I just said that to avoid them. He thought that if I ever fall in love he will be the first one I will go to as he is my best friend. So, he never asked me about those rumors.
I really wanted to go to him when I realized that I have a crush on Susan but he was her overprotective brother so I didn't go to him or anyone else, not even my sister knows.
I instantly knew when Travis fell for my sis, he was so easy to read. Everyone knew about him being in love with Grace. It was me and Susan who urged him to confess to Grace. How I always hope that he will read my eyes and help set me up with his sister but that never happened and now all these sudden questions are making me nervous.
"What are you talking about?"I asked laughing.
"Sorry for being so weird today. The thing is that in a few months Sus will graduate and after that, I will get married to Grace. I don't know I just feel that I won't be able to give her the attention I have always given her so I thought that if I find a perfect guy for her who will love her and take care of her then I won't be worried and she will be happy too. When I thought about it the only capable person that came to my mind was you. Will you do me a favor and accept my baby sis as your love?" he said and looking directly into my eyes.
Did I hear it right? Did he really say he wants me to be with his sister? Did he really say that he wants me and Susan to be together forever? I must be dreaming I guess.
I just nodded my head shocked and speechless.
"Really!! I am so relieved now. But I don't want to force her to be in a relationship with you so you have to make her fall in love with you." he said thinking.
"Ok." I said and smiled.
It's really a dream come true. I am so happy that can't even control my happiness. I just want to hug Susi now.
"I am giving you a piece of my heart don't ever hurt her because then I will forget that you are my best friend. And one more thing, if those rumors are true even a slightest then forget that girl if you decide to be with my sister," he warned me.
"I can never hurt her and you know that. She has always been my friend and I care about her, I can never even think about hurting her. I promise you that I will always keep her happy."I said seriously looking into his eyes. And also I love her and only her.
He nodded.
"Ok. Then I will be going. I have work to do." he said and went to the couch to take his laptop when the door opened and Susi came in calling "Mickey" and ran into my arms and hugged me tightly.
Am I dreaming or is this real too. Is Susi really hugging me?
I inhaled deeply her sweet perfume filling my nostrils. Oh god!!!!! Susi is really hugging me.
At first, I was so surprised and shocked that I didn't hug her but then I hugged her like I usually do.
What I always wanted I have now. Travis gave me permission. And Susi ran into my arms.
"I missed you." she whispered and I chuckled. I am so happy today.
Someone cleared his throat. I didn't realize that Travis was here too.
She broke the hug and looked at the person. I can see how shocked and embarrassed she is. I was so nervous too that Travis will say something like, I never knew you two were so close or stuff like that but he didn't say anything and I am so glad for that.
I held Susi's hand, I know she is so embarrassed that she will just run away but I don't want her to leave. I met her after a whole week and I just want to look at her beautiful face now so, I looked at Travis and said, "We will talk later. My favorite person is here."
He nods at me signaling me to remember whatever he said before and I too nodded my head understanding the unspoken words. We both have been friends all our lives so we understand each other just by these small signals, but I don't understand why doesn't he realize that I love his sister, maybe because he loves Susi more. Then he went out closing the door behind him.
I looked at Susi. I can see her nervousness. I guess something is wrong and seeing the way she came running into my arms there is something strange.
I said in a teasing way," So Susi, what's the matter? You come running into my arms when there is a problem and you can't involve your brother or my sis. What's it this time?"
She bit her lower lip looking at me, there is something and I am sure about it now. I just smiled encouraging her to say whatever she wanted to.
Then she just blurted out, "A guy asked me out and I said yes."
First I didn't understand what she said then I played the words in my head...guy...asked out...said yes...
My eyes grew wide with shock. How can someone ask her out? Travis and I made sure no one ever asks her out. We both scared every guy who even dared to talk to her. But, how can she say yes? Why did she want to go out with any guy after what happened last time she agreed to? If she wants she could have said that to me.
I am hurt and angry, so angry that I just want to go and beat that guy to pulps.
MICHAEL'S POV : I am hurt. The day when I thought that I will be her boyfriend she says she already got one. What should I do now? "You can't tell my brother or your sister, ok?" she said nervously. I just nodded smiling. "Why?"I just asked her. I don't know what to say now. "All my friends have boyfriends so when he asked me out I thought to just give it a try. There is something else too that I want to tell but you won't get angry promise?" she said nervously. I just nodded. What else bad news is left now? "He..he is..he is a playboy and the most famous guy in the college. Don't get angry I promise I won't get attached to him. Going out with him is nothing for me." she said trying to convince me not to be angry. He is a player. It means he will leave Susi soon and find a new girl for himsel
SUSAN'S POV:"Thanks, "I said when Mickey opened the door for me. I got out and turned to him."I am nervous," I said smiling nervously. I am damn nervous, I don't know why."Why?" he frowned.Why is he mad? Maybe because of that last time. He really cares about me. I don't know what I would have done without him in my life. He has always been there for me no matter what. This time too, I was so tensed about telling my brother that I am going out for dinner as I know he would insist on coming with me but Mickey managed the situation. He is my knight in shining armor."You said this is nothing and that you won't get attached then why are you being nervous," he said very calmly.I sighed. "You are right. I won't be nervous and won't get attached. I will call you when the dinner is over."I said and started walking towards the door of the restaurant.I can do this an
MICHEAL'S POV :I am a little relieved now. She got a boyfriend but at least she won't be lovey-dovey with him and it's enough for me because I am going to make her break up with him within a week or before that, as soon as I get enough information about that Stance guy.I stare at her till she is inside her house then started the engine and went home.I opened the doors of my house and saw Grace sitting on the couch. I guess she is waiting for me because as soon as I entered she stood up and smiled."Hey, Mike!" she said smiling and came towards me."Hey, Grapes!"I said walking towards the couch.I call my twin sis grapes because she loves to eat grapes and when we were younger she used to eat grapes a lot, she used to even eat my share too."I heard from Vicki." she said smiling like a maniac.She calls Travis as Vicki. And he
SUSAN'S POV :I woke up in a really good mood, smiling brightly. I had the best day yesterday. I went on my first date and had a great time with Stance. He is really not as bad as my friends say. He is really a gentleman. I blush when I remember the nickname he gave me, beautiful. Then I spent quality time with my brother after such a long time and also won the game. Vis face was so funny when I won for the fourth time. He was so shocked and was pouting. Now, his pouting face is his new caller id pic. He really becomes a kid when we play. If any of his business associate or anyone from his company see him like that, they will be in a huge shock. I laughed and got up to get ready for college.Just then Vis walked in to wake me up. He looked at me surprised and blinked several times. I was trying not to laugh. I know why I am getting such a reaction."What are you doing? Sus, how did you wake up without an
After college, I said my goodbyes to my friends and went to the nearby cafe. Claire said that she will be in the library and will come to pick me up when I am done with the date.I entered the cafe and scanned the room for Stance. He is sitting at one of the corner tables looking lost in thoughts. I went to him and waved my hand but I think he is so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice me even when I sat down across him."Hey, Stance!"I waved my hands in front of his face bringing him to look at me."Hey! When did you come?" he asked surprised."Just now. Anyways, what are you thinking? You were so engrossed in your thoughts."I asked."Nothing, just some stuff," he said and smiled his heart-melting smile but his smile didn't reach his eyes. I always feel that his smiles are forced but why will he force himself to smile when he is the one who asked me out."Let's order. What do you want?" he ask
Ring...ring...I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I grabbed my cell phone from nightstand and opened my eyes a little to see the caller. Stance!!! It's Stance calling me!!! I got up and looked at the time, it's 10 in the morning. Today is Sunday, a day of complete rest. That's the reason Vis didn't come to wake me up like he usually does.I answered quickly."Hello!!"I said smiling."Hey, good morning, beautiful!" he said in his sweet voice."Good morning!"I said blushing a little by the word beautiful. I can never get used to this nickname."I was wondering that today is a holiday and we won't be able to see each other...so...I thought how about...how about we go out for movie." he said little hesitating.I smiled. He is so cute when he is nervous."Sure. Tell me the time and place. I will be there."I said smiling."Roxen theatre at 12, if it's ok with you." he said."Sure."I said hanging u
Party!! Vis wants to take me to a party!! That's so rare..no..it's the first time!! I am so excited!!!"Sus!!! You are listening, right?"my brother asked me breaking me out of my thoughts."Yes. Yes. I am."I said smiling brightly."You wanna come or not?"he asked."Yes. I am so excited about this."I said excited.He chuckled."I can figure that out just from your voice. Sincecupcake, I mean Grace and Mike are not here; we will be going alone and guess what..."he said excited."What?"I asked more excited."My little baby sis is going to be my date. I am so excited. This is your first business party and I get to be your date." he said excited.I laughed."Me too."I said laughing.My brother is really so cute. He is not sad that his fiancé won't be here to be his date but happy that he will get to be my date for the party. I guess it will be fun."Anyways, it's already more th
We both went inside. I looked around, the party is not how I imagined. I thought that people will be drinking and dancing to loud music and having fun but here everyone has a glass in their hand and they are just talking, some are dancing as a couple to really slow music. I guess a teenager's party is a lot different from a business party. I am really going to get bored today.We walked further inside and I can feel the glares of jealous girls from all around us. Maybe it's because I am with Vis, the most handsome eligible multibillionaire bachelor, not to forget engaged but has not been seen with any girl other than Grace. I think it won't be that boring. I smiled thinking about what I am going to do today."Why are you smiling one of your mischievous smiles? What are you going to do?" my brother asked looking at me."Nothing." I said smiling innocently.He didn't believe me but shook his head letting it pass."Come, I
