My Guy Best Friend

Proposal

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

~Robert Frost.

~ROSY'S POV~

After my talk with Eva, I quickly called my receptionist, Stella while walking to the meter room. "Stella, what happened to the lights?" I asked her with tension clearly resembling my tone.

"Mam, I am already in the meter room with the electrician."

"Okay, tell him to do whatever he is doing fast because my friends are inside the lift."

"Okay, mam."

"Hmm, and yeah, I am also coming there." I hung the phone and paced myself to the meter room.

"How much time are you going to take for fixing the problem." I asked the electrician while entering the room. "Only two minutes, madam."

I called Eva and said to handle Shawn for two minutes more.

I walked to the fourth floor and stand outside the lift while waiting for the lights to come.

After few minutes, lights came and door to the lift opened. I saw that both of them were on the floor. Shawn's head was on Eva's shoulder, struggling for breath, Eva's one hand was on his cheek and other one on his back pacing up and down to calm him down.

~SHAWN'S POV~

(15 minutes earlier)

When we reached on the fourth floor by the lift, everything stopped suddenly and I started panicking. Eva told me to calm down as she knew that I have claustrophobia.

"Are the lights gone." it sounded more like a statement than a question. I sat on the ground struggling for breath and Eva also came down, hugged me to calm me down.

She took my phone from my pocket and started calling Rosy which I already suspected.

Rosy told her that she will do something about the lights and I can feel that Eva was really worried for me. I put my head on her shoulder and felt her speeding heartbeat. Although, one whose heartbeat should be paced was mine but I am somewhat calmed down by seeing that she really cares for me. I know this is not the time for thinking this but neither I nor anyone has control on their hearts.

Eva was repeatedly telling me to calm down and I am really taking heavy breathes and suddenly doors of the lift opened, giving us the profile of Rosy. I quickly came out of the lift and hugged Rosy saying," Thank you so much, Rose. I thought that I was just going to die." she hugged me back," Don't be. You are my friend, Shawn and also there were literally null chances of your dying because Eva was with you and I am pretty sure that she can die for you."

I don't know what Rosy just said was true or not but I know that Eva cares for me a lot. She was so afraid inside there like I was just going to die and she can't do anything, it's like she want to protect me but was unable.

I noticed that Eva's cheeks changed their color to a light pink when Rosy said that. I side hugged her and our gazes locked, "Thank you so much, not only for today but from the very start. Thank you for always being my side." she flushed and pushed her face towards my chest to hide her flushness.

On our path to Rosy's cabin, I saw Ryder coming towards us. What is he doing here? Actually why? Oh yeah, Rosy is his sister. But I don't know why, I had a feeling that he is here for Eva and I don't want him in Eva's life after what Rosy told me on her birthday night.

When Eva saw him she whispered to me, "If I hug him now, would you be jealous." is she for real? Afcourse I will be.

Before I can say anything, she rushed towards Ryder and hugged him saying she missed him. My hands formed tight fists and jaws clenched like I am just going to kill him.
