New Girl In The City

Chapter 12

Beth's P.O.V.

***

"I love you, I know I sound mad and all ...Bu...But I Do!" He said, panting.

"I don't think so, you are making the wrong meaning out of it. " that was the reply, he sighed.

"Hey we are still friends , right? " I asked, in return I earned cold glares.

"Com'on you both kissed, did stuff. You two surely love each other." Chloe budged into the conversation which earned her same cold glares.

" Such Love..." Chloe said chuckling.

"Its not possible!" Steve shouted.

I thought that would be the last time I would see a guy proposing to another guy. And now here I sit in our room and listening Steve babbling about what Sean did and what not from thousands miles away. Such a girl. Never thought would say something like that to a man.

"Are you even listening to me Beth?" Steve shouted.

"Agghhh,, yeah. But stop shouting. " I said as I scratched my ear. "Look, talk to him, okay? and in person! No text no calls. " I ordered him and waited for him to obey me.

"Steve?...."

"Yeah fine, I will." I smiled , its really hard for me to see one of my one cousins and best friend not being in good terms.

*Knock* A head came peeking out after a sudden knock . "Busy? " it asked.

I was amused to see that figure standing at my doorstep, I just shook my head. "Come in." I signaled the person.

"Hey, I will call u back , ok Steve? And take care, Love you. " I said as I cut the phone, facing the person in my room.

"Where's Chloe?" He asked.

"Ain't that obvious, she mom and Jenny went out just a while ago?" I pointed, as I got up from the floor, with still some of my paints and pencils scattered all around.

"You are right." He said, scratching the back of his head, he looked disturbed. " You paint? They are pretty cool." He asked.

"Ah..hah." I said but his eyes were not upon me instead scanning the picture I was drawing. This was the first time, Leo actually entered our room since we came here, what made me ask him , "You okay?"

"Ah? yeah, yep ! I am. I was just getting bored all alone . Thought..." he said, as he entered further. "..You got any movie?" He asked.

It took me a moment to understand what he was trying to say actually. "yeah. certainly we do." I said , pointing him at the rack which contained few CDs.

He went there, ruffling through the CDs. I took a moment to gaze at him, he was not in his usual self. It was past five pm, and his eyes were a little swollen, "taking a nap or something?".

"The Graduate, Greed, Jaws, Godfather? Seriously? " Ignorning me, He asked in certain amusement as he read out one by one movies' names from our collection.

"Yeah, so? they are classics. "

"yes, literally classic." He chuckled. "Wait a second." He said, and rushed out of the room. What's up with him suddenly? Leo has been a little weird since lately.

He came back within a blink of an eye, holding a pen drive in his hand. " Lets watch some real classic movie." He announced.

He took my laptop off the desk, and flipped it open. " you like thriller...mystery?" He asked.
