My one true love... (COMPLETE)

Tomorrow?

It's been three weeks since I last saw Raj, I started getting eviction notices and started to worry. I walked out of my apartment to get my mail and as I trudged down the stairs and to the mailbox I saw Raj. He was carrying his suitcase and a book bag. He walked over to the mailboxes next to me and dropped his stuff. He looked at me and smiled.
"Long time no see Mera dost." He said too me.
"Haan, where have you been?" I asked as I opened my mailbox.
"I went to visit my sister." He said opening his mailbox and a shit load of mail popped out of his mailbox onto the ground. I laughed as he bent down to pick up the pile of mail.
"You have a sister?" I asked as he stood up with his pile of mail.
"Haan." He sighed and closed his mailbox.
"Nice" I said smiling. I missed him, he was gone for three weeks! I wanted to tell him about my eviction problem so bad, but I didn't know how.
"Meera..." He said flipping through his mail.
"Yeah." I said looking at him.
"Wanna go somewhere with me in about... Tomorrow?" He asked with a smile. Somewhere... With him... Alone?
"Alone?" I asked.
"Yeah, just me and you." He said picking up his bag. Wait, was he kidding? I couldn't tell? And where the hell would he take me!
"Why me?" Of course that's what I asked.
"Cause your my friend." He said smiling. I kinda wanted to see where he would take me, so I let my mind make the decision.
"Sure." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"Cool, make sure you pack a bag!" He said walking up the stairs and out of my sight. Pack a bag? Was he gonna kill me! I raced up the stairs and into my apartment. I grabbed my phone and dialed Gina.
"Hello" she said perky down the phone.
"Raj wants me to go somewhere with him and told me to pack a bag." I said quickly. I heard something drop on the other line. Maybe a plate?
"He likes you!" She squealed into the phone.
"W...w...what?" I stuttered.
"Dude, I'm sure he has other guy friends. Yet he asked YOU to go somewhere with him and to pack a bag." She explained.
"But we just became friends." I said
"So? I think he likes you that all I'm saying." She said with sass.
"Should I go with him?" I asked as I paced around the living room.
"Hell yeah you should, maybe he's taking you somewhere special." With her words my stomach did flips and I don't know why.
"Maybe, but what if..." I started but she cut me off.
"No what if's, he saved your life and if he had other intentions I'm pretty sure that would've been done already. I think he likes you or just wants to be a good friend and do something nice for and with you." She said making me think about it. She's right. If Raj had other intentions with me, he would've done them already and wouldn't have saved me.
"Your right, I'll go with him." I sighed into the phone and I heard her squeal.
"Text me everyday about it, when do you guys leave?" She asked excitedly.
"Tomorrow."
"Wait! What?! Okay, you have to text me everything or call. I have to go give Aman a bath, bye!" She yelled down the phone and hung up. I laughed and put my phone down on the sofa. I walked over to Raj's apartment and knocked. Seconds later the door flew open and he was wearing shorts. Just shorts, no shirt.
"Hey." He said snapping me out of my trance.
"Hey... I'll go with you, but how much do I need to pack?" I asked hesitantly.
"About maybe a weeks worth of clothes." He said leaning against the door frame. It was hard not looking at his well built body so as soon I got my answer I walked right back into my apartment. I went to my closet and packed a bag of clothes and shoes to match for a whole week. I trusted that he wouldn't do anything but I didn't trust myself. Ever since Gina said she thinks he likes me my stomach has been doing flips. Just the thought of Raj liking me makes me blush and I don't know why! as I was packing the last bit of my clothes, someone knocked on my door. I walked to the door and opened it up. Raj stood there still in just his shorts.
"What's your number?" He said pulling out his phone.
"W...w...why?" I stuttered. Great job playing things cool Meera!
"So I can text you and stuff, call you if I need to." He said smiling weakly. I gave him my phone number and with that he pulled something out of his left pocket. It was a folded piece of paper and he smiled.
"We leave at 8am tomorrow, I'm driving. Be ready by 6:30" he said and walked into his apartment. I closed my door and opened the piece of paper. It was a ticket, a plane ticket. California, he was taking me to California! I ran to the bedroom and grabbed my passport, I couldn't Believe this! I have always wanted to go to California. I did a small happy dance in my bedroom and finished packing. At the time things seemed good and like nothing could go wrong. Little did we know, that this trip was going to be the start of something new...
