I suddenly woke up in the car.

“Gabriela,” my sister called.

“Mhm...” I groggily replied.

“We're home,” she said.

“Go rest inside,” she said again.

I quickly got out of the car and hurried to my room. Before sleeping, I went to the bathroom.

“This day was tiring as I expected,” I whispered to myself.

After I finished in the bathroom, I quickly went to the sink for my skincare routine. After 20 minutes, I went to bed to rest, taking my phone with me.

I opened my phone and saw a message from Xian Lee, my close friend.

@XianLee: Gabriela, I heard you're getting married?

@GabrielaLuis: Yes, how did you know?

How did he find out? Only my family and Axel's family know about it. Maybe Mom told him; they're close. Mom treats Xian like her own son.

I was about to sleep when my phone rang.

“Who the hell is calling this late at night?” I grumbled to myself.

It was Xian.

“Why are you calling this late, Xian?” I said, with a sleepy tone.

“I'm coming over,” Xian said enthusiastically.

“And Mom Amelia allowed me to stay overnight,” he added.

“What-” I started.

This guy called late at night just to sleep over? Before I could finish, he abruptly ended the call. Rude, Xian, ending the call so abruptly.

I just rolled my eyes. I had no choice but to wait for him to arrive.

After a few minutes, Xian was already at the house. I quickly opened the door. He had food and clothes with him.

“Why are you here?” I asked, annoyed.

“Is it not allowed?” he replied.

“Why are you here?” I asked again.

He didn't answer my question and just went inside. Wow, Xian really feels at home. I followed him to our living room.

“Why are you even here, Ian?” I asked again.

“Mom and Dad went to Paris for an important meeting, that's why,” Xian replied.

“And there are a lot of things you need to explain to me, Riela,” he added.

“Oh, strawberry ice cream,” he said, handing me a strawberry ice cream.

“You really know me, Xian,” I said, smiling.

“Is Ella home already?” he asked.

“Yes,” I replied as I ate my ice cream.

“I heard from Mom Amelia that you're getting married, to whom?” he asked seriously.

“To Axel, my high school crush,” I replied.

“I thought you had moved on from him?” he said, chuckling.

“Why are you laughing?!” I said, with an annoyed tone.

Who would want to move on? He's handsome and seems caring. The woman who marries him is lucky. A.K.A. Me.

After we finished eating, I quickly escorted him to the guest room and went back to my room to sleep.

I woke up to a knock on my door. I got up and opened it. It was just Xian, always like this guy.

“Good morning!” he greeted me, then entered my room.

“Good morning,” I greeted him back.

“Let's go out,” he cheerfully invited.

“It's too early, Ian,” I said.

“Hm... Early? It's already 10:50, Riela,” he said.

“What!?” I exclaimed. It's already 10:50.

"I already informed Mom Amelia,” he said.

“Okay!”

“I'll wait for you downstairs, okay?” he said and quickly went downstairs.

Sorry, this update took a while. I'll make it up for it :) - misseyyana.
