Chapter 24

Jason's pov :
I can't believe that she just sat on my bike without even arguing for once, she didn't hold me but I badly wanted her to hold me as a baby holds a lollipop in her hands.
What's wrong with my mind lately?
Do I want her to hold me...um, am I a lollipop?
I'm a fucking eighteen years old guy, why do I want to be a lollipop?
This girl drives me nuts, oh, girl! If only I could tell you how much you affect me! But I would not take that risk to confess her effect on me to anyone.
I don't fucking care if she is a waitress or anything else, my heart wants her only. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that she is the one with whom my fairytale will start and we will have a happily ever after.
I increased the speed of my bike and started having second thoughts about my love.
My subconscious started manipulating me…
Jay, are you stupid or hopelessly romantic?
You know this girl for a week barely, and how could you decide that she is the one? Oh, boy! You are such a stupid person to take a big decision that early.
What if she has a boyfriend already?
Do you even know that she is single or not?
Just because she is different from others, how can you think that she is perfect for you?
Both of you are so different, she doesn't care what she wears but you, you care about your tip-to-toe. Everything that you wear is branded, expensive, and luxurious.
I stopped my bike and took a deep breath. I was stuck between my mind and heart, my heart had so strong feelings for her which were tough to control yet my mind was doubting everything.
"What happened? This is not the park, why did you stop the bike midway? Please, don't tell me that you took the wrong route or you have forgotten the directions!" Lia started building an exclusive apartment of her questions for me.
Well, it would be a great idea if she could do that in real. I would love living in with her, my hopelessly romantic heart again started daydreaming.
She paused for a second, "do I need to walk to the park, now?" She brought me into the real world again and I realised that I couldn't control my heart for even just one second.
She sounded so frustrated and intimidated, it was my time to answer her questions but I was busy daydreaming and fantasizing the things.
I could imagine her frustrated face, eyebrows up, lips flatly sad, wrinkles on the head, and her hands on her waist.
I just turned to see her face, and she had exactly those expressions which I imagined. I grinned or maybe blushed, I couldn't care less about my smile. "No! I just need some water. Do you have a bottle of water in your bag?" I interrogated her as I saw a bag on her back.
"Oops! No! We can grab some water or juice from that store," she pointed her index finger towards a supermarket store, "can't you just control your thrust for a while? I don't want Fee to be there alone, she came just to give me company and I seriously won't leave your friend alive if he'll again fucking dare to hurt her." She pleaded but with clenched jaw and innocent eyes so she was requesting but she didn't forget to threaten me about George.
I'm sure that she is a good friend, and I wasn't thirsty at all. I unknowingly stopped because of the attacks of my thoughts. And it was just an excuse that popped up in my mind while seeing the bottle.
"Alright! Let's go! They are in the car so we are already gonna reach there late," I started the bike and the cool wind made me feel better.
"Can't you drive a car? Next time, either you'll drive a car or I'm not coming," she demanded and I nodded.
Never mess with a girl when your buddy has hurt her friend. And she gave me hope that there will be the next time, she'll hang out with me for the next time, too. I'll surely drive a car because I could see her uncomfortable posture on my bike.
I smiled seeing her face in the side mirror of my bike while adjusting the mirror so she could also see the mirror. "You know what, I have a gut feeling that Fiona and George like each other," I tried to tell her what I felt about them. To be honest, not only me! Alex and Theo also believe that.
She didn't say anything but after a minute, she slapped my back, "are you crazy? Fiona hates George, she can't fall for a playboy. I'm 100% sure, she doesn't like him. She believes in fairytales and her prince can't be George," she announced in a disgusting tone.
Deep down, I knew that she would react like this because she didn't know what made George like this? It wasn't an unexpected response from her. Fiona believes in fairytales but what about Lia?
My curiosity couldn't resist, "do you believe in fairytales?"
I regretted the moment when I realised that she was not answering my question. I should have started this discussion after arriving at the park. At least, I could see her expressions.
"I don't believe in fairytales. I don't know if they exist or not," she mumbled and my heart yelled that don't worry, baby! I'll make you believe in the fairytale, we'll be the evidence of its existence.
So cheesy, just like the male protagonist of a romance novel. I throttled the chuckle which was ready to come because of my so sweet yet crazy thoughts.
"Do you believe in fairytales?" Lia raised a question suddenly.
I reacted without even thinking for once, "Yes, I do." I'm not ashamed of my choice.
"What the heck! Do you believe in fairytales? I thought a boy always makes fun of fairy tales but never like this, um," she was startled and confused about what to say next.
I cackled, "it's fine, Lia! I know, our society can't digest the fact that the boys also can like fairy tales. But yeah, I'm like this," I shrugged and she giggled.
Her laughter sounds so sweet that I don't even wanna bother to ask why she is laughing!
"Fuck the society, man! I don't like the rules of society. I don't get one thing if we are free, why do they want to make a cage for us like what should we do and what we shouldn't! I want to be free, free from everything."
Here, I found a similarity between us, our opinions are similar about this. Why should we care about what people will think of our choices?
"We have the same opinions on this thing, let's go to the park, we have reached but if you want to give some alone time to Fiona and George, then, I don't object to it," I put the helmet down from my head.
She quickly handed over the helmet to me and shook her hair to make it perfect but she didn't know that her long wavy hair already gives her the perfect look.
"No, I don't want them to be alone for much time," she crossed her arms, "do you wanna come along with me or should I go alone?"
I parked the bike, "yes, I also don't want them to be alone. Otherwise, Fiona will kill him with her sarcasm, and he'll still flirt with her," I shrugged.
"Hahaha! Very bad joke," she grimaced and we kept on walking to the entrance.
We searched for them but we couldn't find them anywhere. I decided to make a call to Theo but he didn't answer, "Theo isn't answering my call, can you call Fiona?" I implored Lia.
"Yes, sure!" She called her, "Hey, Fiona! Are you alright? Did George hurt you? Where are you? Why aren't you here yet?" She is a machine that composes questions so rapidly.
I couldn't hear much but one word was enough to understand the situation 'periods'. Lia went a little far from me and continued her gossip with Fiona.
After a while, she returned with a gloomy face, "I'm sorry, they got delayed because Fee got her periods and they had to find a medical store nearby, so they got late and don't worry, they'll be here soon," she gave me a forced smile.
I thought she wouldn't tell me. Sometimes it's not easy to talk about periods to guys but I forgot that it's Lia. And I really don't think that talking about periods is disgraceful, it's just periods. A natural cycle that is necessary to be known by everyone.
"Okay! No problem! Have you ever talked to Fiona about George?" I again started the conversation about them because the last time when I tried, we strayed from the topic.
