==========================

That feeling when you are sad because whom you thought was no more than just friend loves you...
That feeling when you are worried because a friend loves you...
That feeling when you feel like crying because you will have to reject someone...
That feeling when you angry beyond words...
That feeling where you feel like die because you are so confused with your choices that it's better to run away from it...

Well, I wasn't feeling any of these emotions

Infact, I didn't feel anything!

He...he lov...me!

How am I suppose to react?

"Ummm okay" I nodded

"Okay?!" he asked

"How am I suppose to react? Say I lo...lo...(ya know) him too when I don't? You know I am not the one getting into relationships! I can't handle! I...I..." I experienced lack of words

"Okay, okay... Calm down and take deep breath, there is tissue there... if you want you can cry"

"I don't want to" I snapped at him

I know it is rude and he is only helping me but I am freaking out, okay?!

"But... How... When" I asked

"From the freshers year" he answered

"bu... Stacy?" I voiced my thoughts

"That was simply a mistake. Actually, when he saw you for the first time in freshers party, he fell head over heels for you.
He tried to make you jealous by dating different girls but it didn't work. In the lasthe year, tired, he thought of writing a letter and putting it in your locker but by mistake he put it in the next locker which happens to be Stacy's and he didn't want to hurt any girl's feeling so he kept quiet till recently she hurt him by cheating on him with his friend" explained Sam

Well, that's too much to take in....

"I know it's too much to take in and I'll give you silence" Sam read my body language maybe

"I wanna go home" I said and added in mind 'away from Eric'

"What! no!" he was shocked "what if he asks about you"

''Then tell a lie. I got headache, stomachache, something!"

" You cannot go! Running away will not help you, Rach" he fought

"In this case, it will" I reasoned "if I stay near him and he decides to tell me! I can't reject him on his face!"

"When you have some ache and you are in your room, on your bed, alone, it will be easy for him there then telling you in front of our friends! Thought of that?"

"Ummm" Oh Shit! "No"

I looked down but kept glancing at him.
I am not that kind who keeps her head down when nervous! I get all suspicious and it makes me see what other person's reaction is.

"Soo, where to, miss Rachel? " he asked
"Home"
That made him look at me
"David's home" I cleared

He smiled and said
"And don't worry, he is too much of a coward to tell you now! It's a shame being his twin"

"You are telling as though you are too brave?"

"Defending Eric, huh?" he teased me " you sure you have no felling for him?"

"Who said I don't feel anything for him. I feel something for Eric. That is called friendship" I said

We pulled up near David's home to see that everyone were there waiting for us.
We walked in to find Anthony residency's maid head - Merry
She was a fine women in her fifties
"Hi Merry" David hugged her
"Hello master David" she said in her french voice " how have you been?"
She wasn't from France or something but she was brought up in Paris and that was why she had french pinch in her English

Paris! I love Paris! Thought I've never been there but that place invites me a lot. The first thing that comes into my mind when I think about Paris is paintings and I don't know why! I want go to Paris once.

We watched a movie that afternoon and in the evening we had dinner cooked by Merry - she cooks the best.

I was literally ignoring Eric the whole time. I didn't talk to him at all! Not until we drove home! Not until they drove to their home!

I was tired as hell and I had a big thing tomorrow - Ash and my coffee!
I sighed as I sat down on the couch
Oh wait! I didn't tell that burned up Ash where I work! Shit!

"Mom, is Ronald home?" I called out
"No, honey" she called back from kitchen

As soon as my brother comes home I will ask him burned up Ash's phone number
Hey! I nicknamed that business dude - burned up Ash!

It was almost mid night when I heard the front door open
"You still awake, Rach" was his response
"Ya... Ummm... I needed your help" I said
"What can I help you with, my sweet sister?" he started walking towards his room and I followed him
"I... Ummm... I wanted that burned up Ash... I mean Ashton Danvers phone number... He doesn't know where I work, ya know" I explained him as we entered his room
His room was really nice from inside, full of paintings on the wall, in the room on canvas boards.
I remember my brother was a good artist from childhood
"Sir can use his sources but here" Ronald held our his phone but before I could take it he withdrew his hand
I looked at him
"I will give you his number only on one condition"
"What"
"I want your friend Jennifer Anthony's number"

I thought about it and then said "It's okay, since you said Mr Danvers has his own ways, he will find it out anyway " I was just pulling his leg

"Please, Rach, I want her number"
''why?" I asked
"Because she...she is beautiful" he answered
"beautiful huh?" I teased him
"Yes very much" he said

I liked how he expressed his feelings without hesitation and didn't lie

"Okay" I gave him Jenn's number and he gave me burned up Ash's number

"Good night" I said as I walked towards my room
"Good night, little angel"

Little angel was something my brother and dad called me, years ago.

I crashed on my bed and sent him the address then sent another message saying
"It's Rachel wilander, I thought it will be difficult for you to find the coffee shop I work in without address so I sent you. Hoping I didn't disturb your sleep"
After a few seconds my phone beeped
"Thank you for the address though I would have found out with my sources and nothing is difficult for Ashton Danvers, Rach.
You didn't disturb my sleep, I was working"
"Are you kidding me! Who works on Sunday night!"
"When work calls, I can't deny!"
"You must be a hard working" I remarked and then yawned as I typed "Good night, burned up Ash, sweet dreams" and sent
"Burned up Ash! Ha! ha! Interesting choice of words! I have one for you - pinky pinky Rach"
Oh no did I really sent him that!
"Ewww I hate pink"
"I don't like getting burned either, Rach, good night and sweet dreams to you too"
