Kriti Shrena's P.O.V

"Um, h-hi." The Blake guy stuttered, pulling his hand out for me to shake.

I nodded, a stupid smile on my face. "Hey, I g-guess you already know my name. It's nice to meet you." Blake smiled. And apparently, we both sort of stayed like that for a while. Until Rose broke off our awkwardness by a soft cough. I glanced at her smirk, causing me to roll my eyes and snicker.

"And you're Jake." I pointed towards Rose's fiancee. "Wow, you guys are brothers and your names rhyme. Cool!"

The guys chuckled before letting me in to the living room.

Rose yawned, she must have not got enough sleep. "How are you still tired? It's eleven in the morning." I giggled softly.

"Well, you can thank that guy over there, for barging into our house at seven in the morning." She weakly stated, her eyes droopy. It seemed as if her head would fall off of her body any second now. Jake must have noticed to because he immediately lifted her head and tucked her in his arms.

A growl came from Blake, "I didn't barge in! And anyways, I'm not the one who hit myself with a fucking bat!" I giggled and Blake shot me a smile. My face turned hot and I started to chew on my bottom lip.

"Whatever." Rose muttered. "But, now that we're all here, why don't we do something? Or go somewhere?"

"Where do you wanna go?" Jake questioned, mostly to Rose.

"The zoo!" Her face lit up like a Christmas tree, and she bolted out of Jake's arms.

Jake, Blake and I gave each other awkward stares. "The zoo?" I snorted.

"Isn't that for little kids?" Blake added.

Rose's happy expression formed into a sad pout. "You guys are no fun! You're all stuck up and too mature, live a little!"

"You know, when people say 'live a little', they usually mean go get wasted, have sex, ride motorcycles and get la"

"I didn't mean it that way!" Rose covered her face in embarrassment, causing the rest of us to laugh. "Please." She pouted her bottom lip towards Jake.

Jake sighed, "There's no reason why we can't go." A grin formed on my lips as I looked at the two of them. They're so cute! God, I had a relationship like that.

"They are aren't they?" Blake's deep voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. He smirked, "You said that out loud you know." I mentally face-palmed myself as I realized that.

"Well, love birds, let's stop wasting time and let's go!" I teased, grabbing my shoulder bag and following Blake out the front door. Blake decided that Rose and Jake go in Jake's car and I go with him, which made me more nervous than I felt before. Right before I got into the passenger seat of Blake's car, I caught Rose give me a sly wink as she got into Jake's convertible.

During the ride, I would notice Blake staring at me once in a while. Honestly, it was making me heat up a lot. I mean, I don't like him, I think. I just met him! But, I still don't get why I feel like this around him. After a while, I decided to break the awkward silence.

"So, you and Jake are brothers? Cool." Okay, so that was lame. But, I didn't know what else to say. I can't just start talking about ice cream the first time we meet! That's insane!
