whatever happened to love??

chapter 6

As soon as I got out of the car Megs rushed to me," Thank goodness you came. You were late and you were not answering to your phone and-" She started babbling and I drowned her voice out .

Megan was five feet and had brown curly hair. Her eyes were brown as well and her complexion was fair. She was quite attractive though she didn't appear to believe it.

She is my partner and my best friend and we both go to the same medical college.

She seems to be quite and shy when you first meet her but she is totally loyal and fiercely overprotective when it comes to her friends. She helped me live through the torture in the first year while I struggled to cope with heartbreak and studies.

"Relax Megs take deep breaths and calm down. I'm here and I didn't ditch you. I just got caught in the traffic. " I explained.

Megan was unusually hyper today and I know it has something to do with the blind date, this colleague of Max.

She took a deep breath ," Thank goodness. I thought I would have to deal with the guest alone. "

"Naah , I love you too much to do that to you and you can repay me later by helping me out with all that case study I have to finish." I said with a coy smile.

"Yeah Yeah.....we'll see" she said rolling her eyes . We walked into the house.

It had a cosy look to it. The walls were painted a neutral shade that I found calming. It had wooden flooring that I loved and it had two bedrooms as I sometimes decided to crash in there. But it was otherwise a guest room with a walk in closet and an attached bathroom. The living room was spacious and comfortable . There was a movie room which was often the hangout place for all of us and a game room where the guys could have some boy time.

She lead me to the kitchen and I asked her conversationally ," so tell me something about this guest of yours? "

The kitchen was modular and was a chef's dream come true. It had been designed by the best interior decorators.
Did I tell you that Megs loves cooking ? Well, she does . After becoming a doctor , cooking is her only passion.

She was pouring chocolate syrup over the brownies," Well he is a friend of Max and I met him once at a party.
He seemed like a charming guy and Max had to make some business deal with him so he decided to invite him for dinner . This guy happened to see our group photo that we had taken on the beach in Max's office and asked about you and since I was already looking for a date for you after you rejected so many of mine I thought he would be good. I mean he is charming and I would have flirted with him a lot if I hadn't already been married and in love ." She said .

" But you are and you love your husband just as he loves you." Max said as he walked into the kitchen and I watched as Megs face lit up when she saw him.

Max was six feet tall, handsome and had blonde hair with brown streaks in between . He had blue eyes and was all muscle. He was perfect for Megan and I knew he would give his life for her without a second thought.
He was a businessman and he fell in love with her at first sight and helped Megan without her knowing through her life and her problems. He had this lost puppy look in his eyes when Megan was in the same room but not in his arms. He and I were pretty good friends although he didn't know about Sam.

" Go to him and let me add the final touches to your dessert."I whispered to her and signalled her to go to Max.

It was times like these that reminded me of Sam and the times I wanted to do that with him.

I wanted to have a love like theirs when a person looked at me like I was his world and nothing more than me mattered. A person who would mean the world to me and I didn't have to hide it . Guess it won't be happening anytime soon. I was done giving my time to Sam but I still wanted him to come to me begging before I actually moved on.

I didn't realise they were talking to me till fingers clicked in front of snapping me out of my thoughts.
" Hey , you Ok Ellie?" Max asked in a concerned voice.

"Yea" I replied and Megs gave me a look. I didn't usually discuss my feeling about Sam in front of Megs. She still got pissed off when I mentioned him and I didn't want to upset her tonight.

"So , are you free this Saturday? ", she asked me.

" yea I guess .. why?"

"Well I was thinking we could all get together and watch "the conjuring " together with your blind date ." She said shrugging her shoulders.

" uh.... I will let you know if I am free but don't expect me to be . I am still not decided if this blind date of yours is a good idea. " I said.

"Bu-" She started to protest but was interrupted by the door bell ringing.

"I'll go get it. " I said before she could start arguing with me.
I was deep in my thoughts when i opened the door and didn't really notice who was at the door. When I looked up.. i got the shock of my life. Standing in front of me was... .
