Secretly in love

39. Dating my bestfriend

"So.....we're....dating" I say the last word almost a whisper. I'm too damn shy to say out loud without instantly feeling my whole face flushed.

I could sense her smile when her chest slightly rose up "Yes"

Oh my god thank you for tonight's blessing!

Hearing it can't take off my growing smile while tightly hugging her body.

"Summy" she calls out but sounding hesitant.

My head tilt up to meet her reluctant expression. She look at me for a moment before averting somewhere, "you're not wearing anything under your shirt" she lowly says that causes me to realize that it is damn true!

I was about to pulled out when she tightened her arms around me "not so fast" and right now the word blushing isn't enough to describe this hot numbing feelings. "4 days summer without you reaching out" her other hand switching to cup my right cheek "you really enjoy driving me crazy huh?"

I did? I have that effects on her?

Ok. I'm trying not to smile but end up biting my lower lip to contain it.

But when her thumb tug my lower lip it damn sends me to another level of shiver....and watching how she carefully leaned down is making me automatically close my eyes.

So this is gonna be normal to us? Kissing.

In a second her lips were already locking on mine. I parted my lip, giving her more access and just like she knew, her kiss diving in deeper than before and damn, this feels out of the world....although I must admit that I'm not confident if I'm doing it right, but they said, practice makes perfect.

If this is two muscle colliding? Then crashed it because I'll never get enough of how her lip tastes like.

"Hello" we break apart after hearing——her mom blaring voice in the hallway before she opens the door and widely smiling to both of us "Hello girls"

"Mom" Ice blurted while I stand frozen with my mind still not getting over that she almost caught us kissing.

Grace looking to both of us then down to our lips. Actually mine feels like numbing, honestly and hoping that she will not notice of how my chest is rising up-down while catching my breathing from our long kiss with a lot of nervousness that we are almost caught.

"What are you doing here mom?" Ice trying to get her mom eyes off from staring at our lips.

It works. She brings up her smiling eyes to us then to Ice "Just like you baby visiting but without that particular part. Anyways, I just wanna check my daughter summer. How are you darling?"

I cleared my throat before saying "super good"

"Is it good?" My brows furrowed before mom throw another question "I'm sure you guys miss each other, I know that feeling of excitement, especially the thrill, but can you please go downstairs and join us? I'll give you more minutes to fix yourself then come down girls"

****

"Mom please stop smiling weirdly you're scaring Summer" Eros says to Grace.

We are all sitting in the living room watching Ice dad flexing his newly bought wine to papa. Not just wine but feels like he brought the whole Italy products to us while Ice brother is eating and yes, Grace has been smiling nonstop to me and to Ice.

"What? I'm just super happy" Grace replies in pouted lips.

I look at Ice and she is sitting next to me with the same nonchalant face.

Papa cleared his throat which my head instantly snap to him and meeting his serious stares. I lost count how many times I inhaled and exhaled in nervousness.

"Is there anything that you want to say?" Then diverted his attention to Ice.

I want to shook my head but I couldn't move not even a finger.

"Summer August? Anything?" He transferred the focus on me with that strict fatherly face and I swear that I wanna cry right now.

"It's ok girls, we already know it, we kinda figured it, actually a very long time ago, we just want to hear it from you girls" it made my throat dries after hearing those words from Grace.

"Mom" Eros sternly calls out "you should let them speak for it" he scolded but Grace innocently shrugged.

"It's taking them forever, besides can you see how Summer is looking so scared and pale that anytime she might pass out?" Then turned to me with soft smile "we know darling but don't worry Veronica didn't said anything about it"

WHAT?

But before I can react, Papa cleared his throat and still looking so deadly serious "Is it true Ice?" his tone sounded firm "do you really like my daughter? You know she can be clumsy all the time, she's impulsive with her decisions, she's hard headed and sorry to say Summer but, she's not that academically gifted like yours, so there will be times that she couldn't understand things the way you do and above all she's a little bit an overreacting girl with things that are simple yet she tend to make it complicated inside her head. Will you still like my daughter Ice?"

"Yes. I really like your daughter papa with all her imperfections" she fearlessly admitted and right now my whole body is super hot especially while staring at Ice, of how cool she sounded with all that seriousness in her beautiful face, fudge! I'm really head over heels to this woman!

"You know how I want to have a grandchildren" Papa says to me.

And I looked down into my hand while trying not to tear up with everyone turned silently quiet. I knew this is not going to be easy....

"Are you considering giving me grandchildren Ice?" He added.

"Yes. There are a lot of medical ways and I'm a doctor"

Papa sighed as his palm tap his knees "Ok. I'm done with my question guess we're officially in laws"

Grace clasp her hands with the rest are all smiling cheerfully while I'm feeling like I'm about to pass out from feeling utterly scared to death that papa will disapprove our relationship and how will I deal with that? Like are we gonna run from home? Or will my family disown me if I go against them? Or, will they force me to choose? And if that happens, who am I going to choose? Or if ever, Ice will suddenly give up because the easiest way is to find someone who's better and not complicated, but I thank G that none of it happened!

"Oh my god! I can't believe that Ice like our weird sister!" Just now that I notice the iPad in video conference with my 2 sisters.

River and India, my two younger sisters that is currently in vacation together with our aunt in Maldives. And yes, I'm not the only one bad at naming but also my parents.

The meaning of our name has a weird and cringey reasons but to cut it short our names symbolizes where my parents did the deeds. Me on Summer, River is well, on that particular place but they told us that it wasn't vulgar because it was during a night swimming and lastly India, the country itself when they had a vacation.

I lightly flinched when an electrifying feeling run underneath my skin when Ice hold my hand that is resting above my shaky lap.

Shocks. I'm damn dating my best friend!
