I woke up with Stace's continuous calls. I picked up her fourth call and she yelled as if she found an ugly naked guy in her bed,by the time she woke up.
"Blazecomhomefast!" She said something that no human can understand.
"Asgajjsbskxols.!" I blabbered knowing she would calm down while trying to figure out what I said.
"I don't understand Japanese.!" She said sounding confused. Look who is the intelligent one. Will someone go tell Steve that I am the intelligent one.!
"Exactly.! I didn't understand what you earlier.!" I said very proud of myself and she laughed.
"I asked you to come home immediately.!" She said calming down.
"I didn't even get down from my bed.!" I said rolling on the bed.
"I need your mom's straightener.!" She stated.
God..this girl had already started getting ready for the party tonight. I must seriously praise her for her patience.
"I'll come in another half hour.!" I said and hung up. I dragged myself lazily to the washroom to freshen up.
I wore my casual jeans and a floral printed shirt. I put my hair into a loose ponytail,allowing my bangs to fall on my forehead.

"Anna!" I called out for her, searching for my mother's room.
"Yes ma'am?" Anna asked with her head faced down like always.
"Get mom's straightener.!" I told and she moved towards the stairs in lightening speed.
I wonder how she remembers who belongs where.?
I finished my breakfast and waited in the dining room for Anna. Anna came later with my mother's straightener and left after giving me my medicines.

I went into Stace's house and saw Steve sleeping on the couch in the hall. He folded himself cozily, he looked like a small baby left carelessly on the couch.
I didn't know where to go in this huge house,it was an exact copy of my house which shows the friendship between our mothers. They shopped together for every piece of furniture in both of our houses.
"Steve.?" I called going closer to him.
"Yeah..I will take you to the parlour.!" He dragged and I smiled.
"Steve..it's blaze.!" I said shaking his arm.
I heard a bark from behind and I looked back to find a black dog. It looked as if it was going to bite and tear my body.

"STEVE.?!!" I yelled and ran. I ran up the stairs. I kept running and was clueless where to go.
I hated dogs because I was scared of them. It was like dogs and I shared rivalry from the previous lives.
"Blaze..don't run..it's thinking that you are playing with it and running behind you.!" Steve yelled.
"Titanic..come here..titanic..!" He yelled at the dog...Titanic..really.?
I kept running and stood up on the king sized Victorian couch.
"Get down from that mom is gonna kill you. Run to that room in your left .!" He yelled and I ran into the room closing the door behind me.
I closed my eyes for a minute or two and then started looking around the room. It was amazing,I have to say.
It was in blue and white combination everywhere. The bedsheets,the curtains,the bookshelf,the walls..everything was in blue and white.
The room was so neat,it was like nobody stayed there. Then I saw a pile of clothes stuffed into one of the closet. I moved closer to the closet to check whose room it was.It was Steve's room, I saw him wearing one of those jackets.
I moved to the bookshelf and observed his collection. He then came in calling out my name.
"You have an amazing collection.!" I said turning back to him.
"I've read all of them.!" He said proudly.
"That's interesting.!" I said sitting on his bed still staring at the books.
"What are you doing here?" He asked rubbing his neck hesitantly.
"Oh god..I came here to give Stace my mom's straightener.!" I said realising that I threw the straightener in the living room.
"Oh..okay.!" He said acting weirdly.
I walked towards the door and remembered the dog..Titanic!
"He is in the lawn..don't worry!" He stated.how does he guess what I'm thinking.! How?
"Can you show me Stace's room.?" I asked and he walked out along with me. There was pin drop silence along the way, I wondered why. He was not a quiet guy as far as I know him.
"This one!" He said and left. I shrugged.

"Stace!..here!" I said giving her the straightener and sat on her bed thinking about the sudden change in Steve's behaviour.
"What's wrong.?" Stace asked observing me.
"It's Steve..he was so silent..he didn't even talk about his books when I asked?"
"His books?..he got his books outside.?" She asked widening her eyes.
"No..I saw them in his bookshelf in his room.!" I stated.
"What the f***? You went into his room.?" She yelled.
"Yeah!?" I said confused.
"Titanic ran behind me, I kept running all around the house, so he asked to run into the room behind me..it was his room!" I narrated the whole story.
"What the f***? Titanic came out of his room?" She yelled again widening her eyes even more if that is possible.
"Yeah!?" I was confused with this girl.
"Did you really go into his room..into Steve's room?" A girl came yelling from the washroom. She was in a pink bathrobe,her hair was damp and she was panicking.
"Yep.!" I said popping the p.
"No way..tell me the truth.!" She asked brushing her hair.
I looked blankly at her and Stace came to my rescue.
"Well..meet Daisy..she has been in love with Steve from past 4 years..but he never spoke to her..so she is shocked.!"
"Hey Daisy.!" I exclaimed.
"Why were you shocked.?" I asked Stace.
"He never allows anyone into his room and titanic never comes out of Steve's room.?" She said casually
"What.? You never went his room?" I asked
"Yep.. I think this means something.!" She said and I heard these words before from Alex. Alex said this while talking about Sky.
"You seriously went in..?" Daisy said still not believing.
"You people are exaggerating.!" I said looking around Stace's room.
"Stace.! I'm ready..call me once you are done!" Steve said popping his head into the half opened door.
"I'm always ready for you.!" Daisy said seductively. Steve left rolling his eyes.poor thing.!
