Chapter 31

Narrator

Liana woke up at around 9:45 am the next day. She was so tired yet excited to meet Oliver again. She didn't know what she was feeling for Oliver and thought that she might have a little crush on him. They met few times and did spend a little time with each other.

Mia was sleeping on the couch. There was left over food on the table and drinks and Liana sighed as she started cleaning the place. She made some brunch for Mia and herself and while doing that Mia woke up due to the sound.

"It is a Saturday! Can't a person get some extra sleep?" She groaned.

"You can. I never asked you to sleep here, did I?" Liana pointed out.

"What is the plan for today?" Mia asked.

"I am going out for movie and dinner with my" Liana paused to think "friends" She said making Mia squint one of her eye open and peep from the couch.

"You mean Stacy? I thought she went to Paris for some baking techniques." Mia said looking at her suspiciously.

"I have other friends too." Liana said in disbelief.

"You do? Since when? And that reminded me thanks for the part time job even though that guy is annoying. He kept ordering me until I had to smack him to keep him on check." Mia said as she yawned and laid back on the couch.

"You did not smack him." Liana said in disbelief as she walked to her sister. "He is my boss- well, boss's brother."

"He is your boss, but I am his boss when he wants help." Mia said. "Now let me sleep a little more."

"Don't you want to go out with me? I am leaving at like 12 something. The movie is at 1 pm."

"I have better things to do." Mia said as she brushed her sister off. "Now let me sleep."

"What better things you have to do?"

"I am going on a date with someone later in the evening." Mia said softly, but Liana caught on to the word.

"No way. Who is that guy?" Liana asked.

"He is from my class. You won't know him. We are graduating soon so might as well go on one." Mia said.

"Do you have your clothes? Like what are you even doing?" Liana asked.

"I am all prepare and I am staying here till tomorrow because you know Mom and Dad would question about the guy and everything if I went from there."

"Totally get your point. Make sure you are home by 10?" Liana said.

"I was planning that too. Make sure you call me at 10 pm so that I can escape."

"What if you scream at me for calling you to come home?"

"Then it was your fault." Mia grinned.

"Tell someone else to call you."

"No one knows that I am going on a date except you." Mia said.

"Might as well tell me the guy's information so that I can reach out to him whatever."

"I will just tell his name. His name is Bryce and that's it." Mia grinned.

"What about his last name or his family ?"

"You won't know him." Mia said grinning as she laid back on the couch.

"Ain't you going to get up and be prepare for the date?"
Liana asked.

"We are meeting at 3 pm." Mia said. "Still have time." Just then her phone rang and Liana picked the phone from the table and the caller says, "My Assistant."

"You have an Assistant now?" Liana asked surprise.

"What does that person want now." Mia said as she rolled her eyes and picked up the phone. "No,Thank you. I am very busy." Mia said and then she continued to hear the other person. Liana let her talk to whoever that person was and decided to get ready.

Mia left for convenience store when Liana came out from the shower. Liana tidy the house and then got ready. Oliver came to pick her up. He was wearing a little casual outfit compared to other days.

"You look absolutely beautiful." He said as soon as he saw her and handed her chocolates and flowers. "I know it is not a date, but I wanted to get these for you."

Liana accepted it shyly as she thanked him. When they were inside the car. He said, "Jason is with Ethan, we will meet them there."

"Am I the only girl today?" Liana said confused.

"Well, we don't have many girl friends." He said laughing.

"Trust me it won't be awkward." He said reassuring her. "And I am there, so if you do feel awkward we can always go somewhere else."

"I think it should go well." She said smiling.

"Is work stressful for you?" He asked looking at her briefly and looking back at the road.

"It is bearable. I am actually trying to get into the Cartoonist department. I want to make my own comic. I submitted an application long time back, but it seem like I was not good enough so I didn't get into."

"So you mean to say that being a colourist is not your thing?" Oliver asked with a frown.

"I don't really mind being a colourist because Cartoonist too have to colour. It is just I want to create my own comic strips or book." She said explaining.

"Well, maybe you can try again. There is an online contest that will take place soon in the Comic Centre where participants will upload their comic strips online and whoever gets the most vote our company will buy their work and they will work for us. Are you trying for that one?" Oliver asked.

"I heard about that, but I am not sure if I will be able to compete in that level of platform seeing the competition."

"We don't want regrets in lives, do we? In future you may think like what if? Better change it to let me try now and know the answer to the what if." Oliver said looking at her.

"I will think about it." She said looking at him.
