LOVE OR FRIENDSHIP?

Again?

Juliet's POV

"Juliet... Hurry up... You're getting a call from Aliza"

I hear mom shout from downstairs.

"Okay mom. Wait. I'll come quickly."

I wore my dark blue and white shirt which stops right beneath my butt and wore a black denim trouser. Then I wore my dark blue and white converse boots and hurried down the stairs after applying light makeup, a little bit of rose powder and light pink lipstick and a light layer of mascara. I am not very interested in makeup, so wherever I go be it a party, shopping or a wedding I apply only these.

When I was half way through the stairs I remembered that I forgot my clutch. I ran upstairs again to fetch my white clutch and went back downstairs panting.

I took the phone to find five missed calls from Aliza and two messages. She had texted to inform me to bring an extra pair of clothes.

By the way why was that for?

Are they going to have a sleepover or what?

No way! Not again. My mom would never give me permission for it since we had one recently. And it was an accident one.

I replied to Aliza's text,

"What for? Are we going to have another sleepover?"

I went upstairs again to get my extra dress.

"Juliet! Why did you go up again? Did you speak to Aliza?" Mom screamed again.

"Yes mom, I replied to her text.. I'm cominngg."

I went down dumping my clothes in the clutch. Thank God its quite big and I can manage to put my clothes.

"What have you put inside your clutch?" Mom asked observing it.

"Aliza asked me to bring extra clothes"

"Why?" She furrowed her brows, "Another sleepover?" She questioned with a serious expression.

I was interrupted by Aliza's text,

"Nope dude! Bring one yea. We'll tell you why."

"Okay" I replied to Aliza.

"No mum, I don't know why but definitely not a sleepover" I said looking at mom and found her quite relieved.

I kissed mom on her cheeks said Goodbye and left home. I found Salman's house with ease since he directed us how to come. As I rang the bell Salman came in front and opened the door with a smile which was like as if though he was excited to see me.

Is he really excited?

Or is it my expectation?

Ugh! I don't understand.

Behind him stood Aliza, Omar, Kaym, Olivia, Harry and Fred.

When I entered, all of them screamed my name which made me squeak in return. We went into the living room and Salman's mom served us with a welcome drink which quenched my thirst. Before we finished our drink the rest of the squad came, Anna and Edgar. Salman introduced us to his mom.

She's a thin, tall lady. She's gorgeous like Salman and prettier than his little sister. With a fair complexion and long black hair. A young looking lady. Her character's admirable too. She had worn a shalwar.

After a few conversations, Salman led us up the stairs to his room. He shares his room with his brother. There were two single beds which is separated by a small bedside table which had a set of drawers on which there was a light shade with a table mat. In front of the bed was a huge closet and next to it was a dressing table with a mirror hanging on the wall and besides it was a study table with two chairs for himself and his younger brother.

Beside the bed which is almost in the corner of the room were huge door like windows through which we can go to the balcony. That was the bed in which Salman sleeps and his brother Ruzaik sleeps on the other bed. A little away from Ruzaik's bed was the door for the attached washroom in his room. The wall which is parallel to the huge windows, a small towel rack is leaned therein. There is a rug at the washroom entrance and in between both the beds.

"I like your room Salman"

"Yeah, its nice"

"I like the beds, how its placed"

"The balcony part is nice, I mean the sliding door and the curtains and then the fresh air you get from it"

"Yeah its amazing"

He replied a "Thank you" for all the comments they gave.

We sat on the beds and we needn't use the chairs. We had enough of space on the beds. I went to the far end, near the balcony window and sat on Salman's bed, probably where he places his head, taking his pillow to my lap and Aliza sat near me. Anna and Olivia too sat in the same bed and so did Salman but at the other corner of it, I could see him sideways, he faced the other bed where the boys were seated.

Ruzaik and Nooha had gone to their cousin's place. Salman had sent them there so that we can feel free.

After a while Salman took us on a tour around his house. His house is spacious. As we enter the house there is a small veranda with a set of chairs. Then the huge living room with big sofas and when you go further there is a ladies hall to one side and to the other side there's a guest room with an attached washroom, the dining hall and the kitchen. There staircase starts from the center and as you climb up u find a small living room again with sofas and a television. Towards the right is Salman's room and towards the left is Nooha's room. When you go further from the hall is the master bedroom in which his mom and dad sleeps. It's a vast room with a balcony and an attached washroom, its beautiful.

There's no rooftop but there's a huge balcony which looks like a rooftop. In front of his house is a small garden with tiny plants and rocks with a tiny bridge to walk over. Towards the side is the garage and behind the house is a massive garden with a few tall trees at one corner. There is a lot of space for us to play.

Soon it was lunch time and we were called to the dining hall to have lunch. Salman's mom is a great cook I see. The food was appetizing.

After lunch we relaxed back in Salman's room.

"So... Why did you guys tell us to bring extra clothes" I asked looking at Aliza.

"Wait and watch" said Salman.

"Surprise" Omar added.

"Seems like everyone else knows about it except myself and Juliet?" Anna asked.

"I don't know" Kaym responded.

"No one knows except Salman, Omar and I" Aliza stated.

"Rude much" I pouted looking at Aliza.

"HaHa"

"Not a big surprise though"

"Don't expect anything great"

"Something insignificant"

"Something's are better not knowing" Harry consoled himself and the others.

"Yeah"

That's all for today :)

Too many description yeah. Sorry about it though :0

So what's gointa happen next? What can be the little surprise? Any guess?
