Chapter 48

As the sun was shining, reflecting its rays in the car window, Rye's laugh pierced the silence. Him and Belle we travelling to London for about half an hour already, but the boy still couldn't calm down from what has happened in Belle's house. The girl just looked away, wanting to forget about this situation as soon as possible.

"Shut up Ryan, my family is always honest with everything" she finally said after she saw Rye's smirk again. She felt embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of babe" the boy's voice woken her up from the daydream; he was definitely having too much fun. "At least, I have a conformation that if I'll ever marry you, your grandma approves.." he suddenly bursted out laughing again.

The girl just sighed loudly, remembering the awkward situation. As she expected, most of her family fell in love with Ryan straight away and treated him as a close relative. Her grandma - Marie, known as a very honest woman did not hesitate, but told them they'll be an amazing pair and she cannot wait for it to happen. The girl's explanations that they're only friends did not help, furthermore it caused Marie to compliment boy's genes, telling Belle to stick with him as with his talent, personality and looks, their children would be extremely beautiful.

No one stopped the granny from talking as it was the main entertainment of the day; even Ryan not being able to stop himself from laughing. Belle, knowing she lost that fight, stopped persuading her grandma to shut up and just enjoyed her stories as well.

"Your grandmother is an amazing woman though" Ryan replied, remembering how he promised Marie he'll visit her soon again; if Belle agrees.

"If you were 50 years older, she would definitely hit on you" Belle said while laughing. "Especially when you started singing, she fell in love" she said, remembering how her whole family persuaded Rye to show his vocal skills. The boy, wanting to make a good impression, sang so beautifully that even Belle, who heard his voice many times was amazed.

"You looked like you were quite swept of your feet by it too" Ryan joked, making the girl realise he saw she was impressed too.

"Well, I was always attracted to boys who can sing" She said as she blushed a little.

"You do realise you kind of suggested you're in love with me?" Rye stated slowly, little smile creeping on his face. This was definitely the most straightforward compliment the girl ever told him.

"I love you with all my heart Rye Pie, I thought you knew that already" Belle answered sarcastically, knowing she had nothing else to say. She loved Rye's voice and that was one of the things that attracted her to him the most. The boy just moaned hearing the nickname, but the smirk on his face that appeared straight after that, fully covered it up.

The conversation stopped as they have arrived to London where they spent a good couple of hours. Even though Rye had to came here in business related issues, him and Belle had an opportunity to visit many different places. The girl was amazed by the amount of things she hasn't seen, despite being in london frequently.

Right now, they were both sitting in cafeteria. Their conversation interrupted by little pauses they made, sipping on some hot chocolate. Belle looked at her watch, realising they'll have to go and pick up Amanda and Rose from the airport in 3 hours. As soon as she thought of that, her phone rang, which she answered surprised.

"Rose, what's up?" She asked, confused. If she was good in her maths calculations and she knew she was, then Rose should be in the air right now. This meant nothing good.

"You what!?" No way..." she said, hearing the awful news. Rye who was listening carefully, just leaned forward, waiting for the girl to explain him the situation. "Both of you... oh my god" he heard Belle saying. "It's fine, there's nothing we can do. Call me if there's any more news" she finished, putting away her phone and smacking her face with her hand.
