Chapter 32

"Ian! I beg you! Please stop with this torture!" I cried out as I struggled to stand up straight on my feet.

"Not yet, Scarlett," he smirked, as he tried to control his pants as well. We have been training from early in the morning and Ian didn't seem like he was gonna let me rest anytime soon. He was running out of breath himself and my legs were on about to give out from under me.

"Please Ian, I cannot take it anymore!" I cried and he turned towards our drive way. Praise the lord, I thought as he was thinking of giving me a little break.

"Ah! Look! The love birds are home!" Megan chirped and the pterodactyls in my tummy began going bonkers. Curse the lady for making me queasy all over in the morning!

"No, not love birds! Anything but that!" I begged. I couldn't show them that her little comment affected me like that!

Ian rolled his eyes and folded his arms, "what are you both doing here?" he questioned.

"The date details. Duh," Megan rolled her eyes. "Looks like someone was a little too busy to pick my calls yesterday."

Megan did call me, but I didn't pick her call! I mean, what will happen to me when she hears the incidents happened on the date? She would probably rip Ray's head off his neck! And I was too good to let anything like that happen.

"I was tired and was sleeping," I shrugged.

"Lies," she narrowed her eyes.

"Kids! Breakfast is ready!" mom hollered and that was my cue to escape Megan's wrath.

"Coming!" I hollered and ran inside.

Everything at the breakfast table was unusually silent and all the credit goes to Megan and her relentless glares at me for not telling her anything. Ian's giggles were growing uncontrollable and Arch sensed that there was something off with the boy today.

Ian is gonna be the death of me someday.

"Looks like Ian knows something really special," Arch raised his brows and I stiffened.

Oh yes! I was caught! Thanks to Ian for making their job so easy!

After a solid 10 minutes of pure and sheer threats and torture, Ian gave in and gave them their information. Mom and dad were taken aback by those incredulous events and Megan was literally fuming as Arch chuckled along with Ian.

"That Cunningham is gonna die in my hands!" she growled, her eyes narrowed into dangerous slits.

"It is okay, Meg. It was my fault for drinking and being near that slimy food. I should have told him about my discomfort. I was the one who led him on into believing that everything was fine. So, please, don't do anything that I would regret later on."

Megan and me were locked on a full on stare down, based on the point that she was gonna get convinced or not. She has to! I mean, I do have a point, right?

"Fine" she threw her hands in the air exasperatedly and rolled her eyes. "But I see anything of this sort happening to you again coz of that idiot, I swear I am not stopping for any of your excuses."

"Alright," I offered her a small smile and she returned it with her own.

"So, for now, let's focus on Ian and Jean's date today!" mom piped in and the pterodactyls in my stomach lurched in for creating a hurricane in my stomach. Why was my mom so against me?

"Oh yeah!" Megan exclaimed clapping her hands together. "When are you picking her up, Ian?"

"Five?"

"Make that four. And Jean, I am dressing you."

"Why four? And I can dress myself!"

"Coz I want you both to spend as much time as possible together and no, even if you know how to dress yourself, I am still dressing you. No arguments on that!"

"We have been together right from our birth, Megan. We know each other like the back of our hands," I rolled my eyes.

"Few things are not as you seem they are," she smiled.

"What is that meant to be?

"You will know. And Ian, off from here and be back at 4. Shoo!" she shooed him off and Arch went away saying that he couldn't take all the girly atmosphere when Megan was around, making me the most vunerable victim. He could support me right? The torture would be much less compared to him gone from the scene and leaving me in the open under Megan's wrath!

Mom was looking at Megan with pure amusement and dad was empathising with me. He didn't know why these both were so interested in a friend's date, just like me!

The clock was ticking towards four sooner than I thought and the pterodactyls in my stomach didn't do me much good as they were making me a little too jumpy. I am sure that I was gonna make a fool of myself with Ian. He would mock me for being so stupid and then I have to dig a hole for myself and rot there for the rest of my life!

Anyway, why were these pterodactyls reacting so violently in my stomach? I thought that Ian was my friend and these creatures were supposed to be out only when I was with someone I liked. Liked, being the other kind of liking other than friendship. And don't get me thinking that I feel the other like towards Ian, coz I might faint just imagining that!

I was ready now. I was wearing a purple hoodie and a white shirt beneath, a dark ripped jeans and left my hair. The usual smokey eyed look was done to perfection by Megan and she even let me wear my sneakers! And because of this simple gesture, she escalated in terms of respect for me.

You are gonna be fine, she said. I wonder if what she said would be really true.

There was a knock on the door and my heart paused for a second.

He is here.

"Oh my gosh! I think it is Ian!" she clapped her hands and ran to the door. But my mom beat her to it and opened it first.

"Ian!" she cheered.

"Hey, Alice," his husky, booming voice sent shivers down my spine.

"You look fantastic!" mom grinned from ear to ear and I forced my paralysed legs to stand.

"Ok, Jean! Your date is here!" Megan chirped and I had a strong urge to slap my own face. What is wrong with these people?

I pushed myself off the couch and near to the door.

Ian is my best friend.

This is just a hangout.

We are gonna have fun.

I do not have feelings towards him which will make our relationship awkward.

"Hey, Scarlett," he gave his sexy smirk and the ground beneath me was getting shaky! Oh wait! Those are my unstable knees!

"Hey," I sucked in a deep breath and braced myself.

"Let's go?"

"Yeah," I gave a firm nod.

This is it.
