Just friends

Always

"Hello mom"

"Aya!?! Oh my god!!!! We were worried sick about you! Where are you!!! We've been looking all over the place for you"

"Its OK mom" aya said, and slightly looking at me.

"Andre and I decided to go out early morning " she explained to her mom.

"Oh." Her mom said.

"It's okay, she's with andre" her mom said on the other person. Aya was looking at me, and I was trying to keep a poker face as much as possible.

"You guys should have told us, we were worried about you, good thing your with andre, I knew you two would kiss and make up. You always do -" her mom said, she looked at me guiltily.

"Mom its not like that. Anyway, I'm with a friend, I'll go back later" she said.

"Whose friend? Does andre know him?"

"Yes, he was with us a while ago" she said.

"Fine, but are you feeling well now, you should be resting aya..."

"I just needed a time out mom, its been a while since I was in the hospital. I need a place to breath." She explained.

"Fine. As long as you and andre are OK, I'm already happy with that." Her mom said.

"OK mom. Bye. Love you." Aya said.

"What time will you and andre go back here?" Her mom said.

"Not sure, I'll... Message you later mom. Love you." I said.

"Love you too, send my regards to andre, tell him I'm cooking his favorite leche flan" her mom said, and she looks at me again.

"Yeah mom. Bye." She ended the phone call.

"I told you, the loudspeaker is a bad idea"

"I was just curious" I said.

"Don't get mad, andre is almost like family to us, he grew up with us, that's why mom and dad treats him like their own" aya explained.

"Yeah." That's all I can say. The perfect fucking andre.

"Are you mad?" She asked.

"Why would I be mad?" I said.

"Wow, how sarcastic."

"Why would I be mad, your mom mentioned andre, almost every time she talks to you"

"No she doesn't"

"She mentioned his name - like 6 times in that short period"

"You counted?" She asked with a smile.

"Approximately" I said guilty.

She smiled naughtily. "Stop it" she said.

"what?" I told her.

"Stop acting cute, your making me fall for you even more." She said, I could not stop smiling, even when I should not be happy.

"That's a cheap shot" I told her.

"Cheap shot?" she kid.

"Stop acting like that, I could still remember Andre's name popping out of my mind" I told her.

And with one swift move, she sat on top of me. She hang her hands around my shoulder, our body too close to each other. She looked straight to my eyes, she smiled at me. Her eyes was taunting me on purpose.

"Can you still hear his name in your mind?" she whispered in my ear.

"Do you know what your doing to me?" I told her. I could feel her body across mine, with only a few sheet of clothes separating our skin.

"What?" she said.

"Queen, are you testing my virtues?" I told her, she smiled so wide. I took a deep breath, bit my lip and try to think of math problems.

"What are you doing?" she said.

"I'm calculating in my mind." I blurted out, my mind is going wild. It felt like a prey is dancing around the lips of the starving predator. I took another breath.

"I don't know what your up to, but - I am not doing that. not yet." I told her. Stood up.

"What are you talking about?" she said.

"I am not doing it with you - not now?" I told her.

"But, you did it with other girls before" she said, her face was so red.

"I heard what love said..." she said, her face was so red, and her eyes looked like she was about to cry. Fuck.

"Hey, queen. That's not what i meant" i said, but she stood up.

"Its nothing. I'm just acting stupid" she said, quickly hiding her tears.

"Queen... " i said apologetically. This is not going right. I love this woman, and im saving her from my evil intentions. And yet, i made her sad.

"No. Its ok. " she said.

I pull her back again, and embrace her tightly.

"I want you. So bad." I said, and my body cannot lie. Every part of my body yearns for her, and that guy down there has a mind of his own.

"But, i cant. Not right now. I'm saving us - until that time, when your completely mine." I explained to her.

"I am yours"

"Yes, you are. You are mine, and I love everything about you. I will never change anything about you - well... except"

"Except what?"

"Except your last name" i told her.

"King..." she said.

"Will you marry me?" I blurted it out.

She looked at me, her tears are starting to fall.

"Always"

I cant believe what I just heard. Are we really engaged?!

"Oh God." I could only say those words, as I threw my lips to hers.
