Emerald love

Chapter seven

The next days were cool. After that night when Raph dropped me of at home, life has been much more better. We study together and he brings me back home ever day after that.

My head may have forgotten the love we shared but my heart didn't and it's getting harder to ignore with every passing second. I love him. I really do but how do I tel him?

"Raph" I call out turning to face him

"Yes Beauty what is it?" He says

"I was wondering. Ever since we got back together... I mean came back as friends I haven't heard u talk about any girl. Why is that?" I ask fiddling with my fingers.

"Are u asking if I have a girlfriend?" He asks and I can feel the smile in his voice. I nod and he says smirking "no I don't have one. There is someone I like though but now is not the right time to tell her." He concludes and judging from his tone I can say this discussion is closed.

When we arrive I step out if the car turn to him and say my goodbyes rushing into the house and praying he never saw the pain written on my face. Just then my phone rings. Hoping it's from Raph, I rush to find my phone only for disappointment to wash me when I realize it's not him but Ray.

"Hello, Ray why did u call is anything wrong?" I ask immediately

"No nothings wrong. I just wanted to ask if u could have lunch with me tomorrow"

"What? Why?" I ask "I'm sorry but I know ur mom hates me. And I wouldn't want to get u into trouble" I finish off correcting my mistake.

"Well that's the point of the lunch date. So she can get to know u better. Plus it wld help her get over my brother's death faster. Pls say yes. Help me out" he pleads.

Sighing in defeat, I accept to meet up with him and him mom. It went by horribly cause as soon as I stepped into the restaurant, she threw a glass of wine on my face and the next thing that came flying was a bowl of soup. Burning my left arm. Luckily enough I wore a turtle neck black gown so no damage was done to my neckline.

After apologizing profusely, Ray took his mom home promising to give me a call. Once he did, he kept on apologizing and asked me out on a date to make up for what his mom and brother did to me. I said yes and it was amazing.

He was everything Jay wasn't. Kind, loving, caring, patient and decent. He was easy to talk to and fun to be with. If I wasn't so stuck on Raph, I think I would've fallen for him. He takes me back home at the end of the day and i thank him for the chance and time he gives me. He waves it off like it's nothing and i smile at how cute he can be when shy.
