Our Relationship

Paul and I have build a very good relationship. We can be seen together like almost everywhere.

One day, after school, I went to a park. The sun was bright and warm. The grass was covered with blankets of yellow and pink wild flowers.

I sat on one of the bench and read my favorite novel. As I was about to finish chapter three, my phone rang.

It was from John.

" Hey John..."

" How are you ...?" I asked.

" I'm great bookworm..." John said.

We had a long length conversation until I reached back home. John knew about Paul. I told him about Paul on our very first chat through Skype.

John always had this crazy idea that Paul would propose to me one day. I denied him all the time because I knew about Paul.

Talking to John reminded me of all my connections back there. I truly missed all my friends and my parents too.

My parents have never been left out. I would talk to them every night before I go to bed.

Surprisingly, that very night Paul called me. He sounded nervous.

Before The Call To Lucy

" Hey man... Recently I have been seeing you with Lucy..."

" What's up..." Larry asked.

Larry was Paul's childhood friend.

" Nothing special...." Paul replied while gulping his coffee.

" They say never lie to a childhood friend...!" Larry raised his eyebrow.

" I've been analyzing you this few weeks and you're not the Paul I knew...." Larry
Said.

" What do you mean..?" Paul asked.

" Firstly, you have been kind to me, which has never happened even on my birthday...!"

" Secondly, you're always carrying your phone around..."

" Thirdly, your face shines so brightly as though you've applied every facial cream you can find...."

" And...-" Larry's list was interrupted when Paul spoke,

" Oh.... Stop it Larry...!"

" I don't understand what you're talking about...!"

" It's English... Not Spanish....!" Larry mocked.

" Okay now.... What are you trying to say...?" Paul asked.

" Can't you get it...?"

" You have a crush on Lucy....!" Larry explained.

" What...?!" Paul cooed.

" Oh come on... You don't have to hide anymore..." Larry mocked again.

" Hey it's not crush... It's just that I like her..." Paul tried to explain.

" We call that crush..." Larry said as he raised his collar.

" I mean really.... Like really...!" Paul sounded.

" So, when are you going to tell her...? Larry asked.

" Nah...I'm not going to tell her..." Paul said.

" Why not ...?" Larry jerked.

" I mean I can't just go and tell her that I like her... It will spook her out...!" Paul replied.

" Oh... Okay, I understand... You're afraid to face her...."

" Why don't you call her and talk about it ....?" Larry suggested.

" It's not as easy as you think Larry..."

" I'm always tongue- tied when I look at Lucy..."

" It's like I'm out of vocabulary..." Paul confessed.

" That's the whole point...."

" Call her..."

" She's not going to appear on the phone screen...!"

Larry smirked and tossed Paul's phone and signalled him to call. Then, he walked out leaving Paul alone.
