On a sunny afternoon, silhouette of two people could be seen taking a stroll in the garden.
"Ray-ojisan*...what was my Obasan* like?" Asked a tiny little girl who must be around 6-7, with short jet black hair.
" Ahh your Obasan huh..?"
"Yeah.."
" Well, your Obasans name was Annabeth. She was a really sweet, loving person.." said Raymond thinking of her.
"Ohhh... Ray-ojisan..?"
"What is it pumpkin?"
"Ray-ojisan could you tell me your story? Just like mommy told the other day? About how she met daddy and they got married?"
At that instant Raymond Hill, the most powerful lawyer froze on spot. The very same guy who was popular for being brutal during trials....froze for a second.
"Leah is sure growing up huh?"
He said as he lifted his little niece, Rhea, his brothers daughter.
Leah gave a sweet smile.
"Well then Leah, let's hear about your Anna- Obasan " he smiled.
" Yayyy" exclaimed Leah....
-Raymond's pov-
Me and Annabeth Jameson met in our college years. Our parents were good friends htt tobut we only became friends in our college years...(or so he thought). We got along pretty well. It was actually the 4 of us in college Me, Anna, Amelia Addams and Samuel Wyatt.
Amelia, Sammy and I have known each other for a long time. Annabeth on the other hand, was new here.
- past timeline -
{final year of college -18 y/o}
"Ohh.My. God!!!Melia he's just so perfect!!!!" Annabeth exclaimed.
" Here we go....again..." Sighed Amelia.
-Amelia's pov-
The boy this lady was talking about is Raymond... Raymond Hill.
They both like each other. Head over heels in love. Both are very obvious about it but are too dumb to understand or too scared to ask the other out. Our batch refers to them as "Clueless lovebirds."
-pov end-
"Oi oi...from your look I'm guessing it's Bethy again huh?" Teased Samuel.
"Yeah...it's her alright..." Sigh.
"They should just ask each other out..."
"Mhm..true..trust me they'd be married in a few years." said Amelia.
- at the end of the day-
" Heyy Melia!" Called out a deep, dreamy voice. The voice of Raymond Hill. Raymond Hill, the guy with sharp features. He had black hair, light tone, good height.
"Heyy" responded Amelia, Amelia Addams, the only child. A cute round face, freckles, copper like tone and beautiful almond coloured eyes.
"(Panting) are you...are you going to Samuels end of year part today?"
"Yes ofcourse...Anna and me both will be there."
" Speaking of.....where is Beth?"
"Oh I thought she'd be with you since you got detention today..."
"..."
"..."
"Shit..be right back Melia."
"Sure" she said laughing. Then she thought to herself- "seriously when will they grow up."
-Raymond's pov-
Anna and I recieved detention today. And I left early and forgot that she asked me to wait by the canteen....
"There he is...mr forgetful" teased Anna, a girl with light brown, long wavy hair, light tonned, with light hazel- brown eyes.
"Hey sorry ok....I was handing out those party pamphlets." Raymond said with a guilty look.
" Ahh Ray it's ok..."
"Well let's go then...we have to catch up with Melia and Sam"
" Yeah!"
-Meanwhile with Melia and Sam-
" Are you sure they aren't a couple yet?" Asked Samuel Wyatt. The troublemaker. Samuel had fluffy brown hair, deep blue eyes and overall a perfect face and height.
" Well...I don't think so...just wait till graduation."
Yes...these two over here are betting on when Annabeth and Raymond will finally confess.
"Speaking of, look they're finally here!" said Sammy.
"Ahh finally you show up...we need to hurry up. Mr party here needs help decorating his house..." Spoke Amelia rolling her eyes.
" It was you who said you'd help you know" said Samuel grumpily.
"Oh really? When did u say that huh? HUH?!!"
"(letting out a sigh) guys let's not argue ok?" Interrupted Anna.
" Shut up!" Said Amelia and Samuel together.
"YOU BOTH shut up" joined Anna.
"I'm stuck with 3 kids...(sigh)" said Raymond as he proceeded to stop them.
