AARON STARTS COUGHING.
His eyes slightly wide, cheeks slightly red at Victoria's bold action. I clear my throat, eyes narrow at Victoria's hands on his biceps. Aaron slowly removes Victoria's hands, grabbing her wrists with his fingers and drop them to her side. I almost laugh.

Almost.

Aaron stares at me, smirking as if he knew what I was going to do,  "I apologise Victoria, but, I have some remaining tasks to complete. Clarisse and my cousin will show you..."  I gape at him, jaw hanging low, so low that it can even touch the floor.

"Awwhh! Can you just---"

I'm sorry, Dear friend. But, it has to be done !

"Maydie will give you a tour. Relax" I interrupt her, giving her a small smile that soon turns into a full smile as I catch sight of Aaron moving backwards ever so slowly--- afraid that Victoria will catch him, as she stares at me. He winks at me, giving me a flying kiss before running towards the stairs.

"Clarisse!" A nudge.

"Clarisse!" Another nudge.

"Hmmm?" A groan.

"Clarisse!" Someone starts shaking me, "What!" I yell, angry at the person shaking me.

"Clarisse, Victoria has been asking who Maydie is..." Kelly, the person who was actually shaking me, whispers.
A 'I-knew-it-was-going-to-happen-sooner-or-later smirk on her face as she keeps on wiggling her eyebrows.

I blush which only intensifies her whole 'I-knew-it' look.

Rolling my eyes, "Maydie is..." I pause, "Maydie" I answer.

Victoria gives me a weird look, "And---"

"I heard my name!" A head pop from behind the kitchen door.

Turning to Victoria, "That's Maydie. Go tell her" I urge her, if it means getting my friend angry at me only because I sent Victoria to her (because I did not want her next to me), then I would do it in a million.

Victoria glance at Maydie, "No it's okay, I---"

Huh! Please go away! "No, You're  not! And she won't mind!" I smile, wrapping my left arm around her shoulder, guiding her to Maydie.

"Maydie! Come here!" I yell, smiling at Victoria who seems like she prefer being anywhere but not here.

"Hey Clar! Hey... Victoria" Alright, now that's awkward. A permanent fake smile on my face,
