Only You.

CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

"Oh my days, I hate my life." Juri groaned into her pillow.

"Oh, we twinning and shit." Ray snorted, laying on his back using his phone.

"And its the fact that you have to go to that dinner as well." He added.

She groaned once again, letting out a cry into her pillow.

"I haven't texted him at all or anything, and it's tomorrow!"

"Relax, he can't start hating on you. He doesn't seem like the type to do that, he looks pretty whipped for you as well." He mumbled at the end.

"What?"

"I mean that, he can't be your hater, you just saved his ass. He's a nice guy, he won't do something like that to you." Ray smiled at her reassuringly.

"You think so?"

"Sì."

"So then what should I do?"

"Nothing, just let it all be. The worst thing he can do is avoid you."

Her face visibly saddened as her lips went down a slight bit, her shoulders slumping.

"B-but, he can also admire you and stuff, like, 'Oh my, I have such a strong friend!' Or something like that." He quickly added.

"Mn." She hummed slightly unsure.

"You don't need to bring it up or clear the situation, I bet you he's going to thank you for saving him."

"I hope its like that." She mumbled as she rubbed her eyes.

"You can just relax chica, he's a great friend to you isn't he?"

"Mhm."

"Has he ever avoided you or betrayed you in some way?"

"No."

"Then you're all good, he obviously cares for you, he won't hate you or find you in any way uncomforting."

Juri let a small smile stretch across her face.

Stretching forward, she allowed herself to collapse ontop of Ray's stomach.

"Ow!" He yelped.

"You're such good help." She said.

"I hardly help you the way you help me, this is just the beginning." He nodded to himself.

Arriving at the mansion with a long and exasperated sigh, she rang the bell.

Juri didn't bother dressing up for the dinner, she wasn't feeling it at all after knowing that Dahlia was going to be there.

She also was going to be eating a lot, she loves Alfred's food with all her being, so she just stuck with something comfortable.

She wore a white hoodie she left unzipped with a very light brown shirt and green coloured low waisted jeans.

'Bruce wouldn't mind, he should be accustomed to how much I eat by now.'

She still applied her lip liner and gloss of course, then just her beaded bracelets and her gold hoops with a necklace.

She held a cute, small bag in her hands as she tapped her feet against the floor.

The door was opened and there was Alfred.

"I apologise for the wait, Miss Juri." He said with a slight bow.

"No, no you're fine." She chuckled as he stepped aside and let her in.

"Is that bi- Novalie girl here?" She asked.
