Chapter 36

“Keith where are you?!”

Nate shouts, running into his room. He sees Keith changing his shirt and sighs as he sits on the bed.

“What is it Nate? You didn't have to scream like that!”

“Well, I was looking for you. Where were you?!”

“I was in the garden with Andrew. Why?”

Nate wipes his sweaty forehead with his hand. “I had this really bad dream Keith.”

“What was it about?” Keith asks taking his paintball stained shirt and putting it in the basket for clothes that needed to be washed.

“Bea.”

That was enough to gain his full attention. His heart beat becomes fast.

“What about Bea?” he asks as he sits beside Nate. Keith then notices Nate's serious expression.
“What happened?”Keith becomes worried.

“You had taken too long to confess to Bea. And Bea ran away because she was upset about your marriage with Ashley. She gets kidnapped and then thrown off a cliff. It was really bad. I woke up with a start.”

Keith's face was pale. *Why did he get the dream? Oh no! God help me!*

“Keith?”

He looks at Nate.

“Whatever you do, please tell it to her today. I really have a bad feeling about this.” Nate pleaded.

“How do I do it Nate? What about Ashley? The ball is tomorrow!”

“Keith!—Nate pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs  How many times have I told you? Stop. Putting. Others. Before. You. Answer me! Would you be happy with Ashley? Would you be happy if you see Bea with another man? Would you be happy?!”

“No…” He whispered.

“I didn't hear you!”

“No!”

“Then be a man! Confess to her now!”

A fire lit inside Keith. He suddenly didn't care about anyone. He wanted to be with Bea. His Bea. His snowflake.

“Where is she?”

“Probably at home. Its not even lunch time. I'm so hungry.”

“Nate. Why is it that you always think about food?”

“I love her that's why. I love her the way you love Bea!”

“Okay shut up.” Keith playfully rolls his eyes, earning a playful punch from Nate.

“Ouch that hurt!” Keith feigns hurt.

“As if!” Nate huffs. He then spots something.

“Keith what is that?” he points at his paint stained shirt.

“I don't know but when I was with Andrew in the garden, someone threw this paintball at me. Rainbow coloured. I didn't even feel it. I don't know why. We searched the place but found no one.”

“I see. Isn't it kinda strange? That it didn't hurt even a little.”

“It maybe strange or not. But I don't care. I need to see Bea now.” Keith says as her gets up and went to the door.

“Wait for me too Keith. I cant wait to see the ultimate proposal! I'll just go to my room and get a few things. Wait for me at the gate. Okay?” 

“Okay. But be quick.” Keith says as Nate runs to his room. “ Wait a minute......Nate are you going to get snacks?!” Keith shouts, earning a laugh from Nate.
