She still didn't believe him but there was something that made her hesitate and he either sensed it or he was just plain eager because the next minute she heard him call Emily.
"She is refusing to believe anything I tell her about last night. Why don't you tell her, Em? Maybe she'll believe you." He said in a serious tone looking between the two of them.
Anya looked at her friend optimistically but Emily looked at Viola and gulped. "Emily? Is it true?" She raised her voice sensing something suspicious.
The rest of the gang was already in the living room and it looked as if they were starting the game without her while Anya stood clueless to whatever was going on. She was late and her friends were busy discussing the rules with their respective partners that they didn't notice her arrival or the fact that she was missing earlier.Great! So much for friend sticking together no matter what.And then it struck her. Where was her lovely partner? She scanned the room but he was nowhere to be found. Maybe he was still busy chatting with Natalie or maybe he went searching for
Anya didn't see him or the other guys at lunch. She later learned that they were driving up to the city for a fitting rehearsal of their dresses. Anya and the girls too were leaving for the same after lunch. Anya tried desperately hard not to make eye contact with Ronan after the game but the harder she tried the more she wanted to look at him, to see if he was looking at her or to get some sort of clue from his facial expressions inorder to find out if he was feeling the same way that she was feeling but he seemed to be enjoying the game as if nothing had happened and this bothered her. Why it did was something she tried not to dwell upon but strangely it tugged at her heart too much.The dr
She stopped when she spotted a small brook at the corner of her eye. She looked back and realised she must have been running for long since she didn't recognise the environment. She sighed and decided to walk along the path that led to the brook. It was breathtakingly beautiful as small plants with tiny colourful flowers ran along both sides of the flowing water.The sound of the water along with the blowing wind soothed her mind. She decided to sit on one of the grass and slowly immersed her bare foot into the water after removing her sandals. The gush of coldness from the water calmed her legs that pained from all the running. She took deep breaths and enjoyed the solidarity when memories f
Anya couldn't stop herself from smiling all the way till she reached her room. The mere thought of Ronan sending Peter to look for her made her heart do somersaults. She admired his sense of consideration and his knack for tackling the situation so well because if he had come looking for her then Anya would have never known about Peter and no matter how bad Ronan would try convincing her out of it she never would have believed him since they were best friends and it was only natural that he was taking his side.Ronan knew this, knew her too well to foresee the repercussions so he had sent Peter to sort it out themselves and to avoid a strained relationship in the future. She also blushed at t
She woke up panting and found herself sweating profusely as if she had really been running. She sighed resting her head on her hand, relieved that it wasn't all real. Just a nightmare. She realised how stupid she had been to overlook the fact that Ronan reminded her of nothing but someone from her past, someone who was vile and vicious, someone who was the last person she would ever want to see. Someone she never wanted to see or to be associated with. Someone she ran away from, was still running away from and because of whom she wasn't the person she was.She gave herself a virtual bang against the wall for even acknowledging the feelings she had for Ronan. The guy was a living image of the
Anya waited for the girls to arrive because she was in no mood to attend the party. She switched off her phone which already showed too many missed call alerts and she ignored them without second thought. She knew she would spoil everything if she spoke to them now and she knew she couldn't face Lizzy with the revelation that she was exposed to just minutes before. She wanted them to enjoy the party without any hindrance and so she patiently waited for them.She walked around the room nervously as she went over the plan over and over again in her head. She felt as if her head was spinning with emotions and thoughts that blurred her mind. What if the plan didn't work out the way they wanted? W
Something dawned on her at that very moment and she needed to know so she stopped him. "Lizzy means nothing to you. So why do this for her?" She asked out of breath holding his hand firmly as if she was afraid that if she let him loose her question would remain unanswered."Are you questioning my intentions?" His jaw tightened."No, no." She said hurriedly. "I just need to know." She sighed.
She told him everything right from the start to how she entered the country as they treaded along together on the path to Dan's house. She didn't know why she felt the urge to disclose this now out of all the other times that he had asked her or the times they were together. Maybe she had become too emotionally weak after she saw what had happened to Lizzy or maybe she was afraid that she might lose him if she didn't think through like Dan. Either way it didn't matter to her because now they were together and now felt like the best time to tell him. She feared she might not have another chance or time would pass by before she loses someone valuable as what she had witnessed earlier that day, taking someone's love and affection lightly.
