Chapter 57
Liliana's pov :
Wasn't my boy the simplest boyfriend in the world? The way he was asking for a second chance seemed like his whole life depended on it, his eyes were showing his love for me.
After that kiss, did he really needed to ask that stupid question? Never mind! He could act sometimes like a stupid, too.
He didn't need to do that in the first place because whatever we were up to didn't matter, I was never going to leave him. I was alone before and it was fine with me, but after spending that much time with him, I couldn't imagine my life without him. Yeah, it was cheesy but it was the truth, too.
"You know, I can't be that self-seeking girlfriend who will blame you for everything," I sighed with a profound smile on my face.
"What? Are you giving me a second chance or not?" He asked while holding so much concern for me in his deep ocean blue eyes. When you love someone, you can read their eyes like a book. And the eyes never tell lies, if there is something that is the most loyal in the human body, it's our eyes.
I narrowed my eyes on him. "No! Why do you need a second chance? Did we already break up without my permission?" I muttered in a low voice and he let out a deep sigh.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know what you were going through at that time, even I can't guarantee how I would have reacted if I was in your place so I can't expect patience from you when I'm the most impatient person on the earth. But can you tell me one thing? What if my brother would have reacted the same way you reacted when you got to know that Theo likes Barbie?"
His jaw clenched and the smile disappeared from his face. His complexion seemed like he was in deep thinking. "It's different, Lia! Theo is my buddy, he told it to Alex and hid it from me. And how could he like my sister when we were friends, first?"
"Friendship and relationship are two different things and I'm sure that he didn't tell you because he knew how you would react when you'll know about his feelings and look, the way you are reacting, why will he tell you? Are you even trying to understand him?" I tried to make him realize that he was wrong and he should have at least given him a chance to explain.
Jay didn't say anything, that meant he was thinking about what I told him. That was a good sign because somehow, I felt that they were perfect for each other. Even the way Barbie looked at Theo was different. I just needed to make sure that Jay could comprehend his friend's feelings and let Barbie decide what she wanted?!
"Why are you feeling betrayed? Theo likes Barbie, right? Then, it's not your matter, it's their concern. What if Barbie also likes him, aren't you being a possessive brother who is ruining his sister's happiness by himself? And think as a responsible brother, don't you know that Theo is a good guy for every girl in the world? Is he a playboy? Did he ever do anything wrong? I guess he is the charming prince that every girl dreams of. What's wrong with him that you don't want him to date your sister?" I tried my best to help him understand the situation.
I bet he didn't think like that, if he would have thought like me, he wouldn't have reacted that way. My crazy and possessive boy!
His eyes widened, he rubbed his face with his palms. "Shit! You don't know what mess I have created when you were not there! Barbie will never forgive me. Theo is a nice guy, a gentleman that deserves Barbie. I shouldn't have reacted that way. I'm regretting everything, everything."
"Why don't you go there and sort out everything?" I suggested it to him because I just experienced how things get when you don't make conversation and remain silent.
He sighed and his shoulders bent down. "Everyone would have already left, your brother is the coolest brother in the world, I need to learn everything from him. Even when you left, he stood there silent and tolerated my rubbish. I wish I could delete those moments, I did hurt everyone."
I didn't know how he had behaved with everyone else but I bet it wasn't good for sure. But I didn't want him to feel guilty so I tried to comfort him. "It's alright! Humans are not perfect, they make mistakes. You can correct your mistake tomorrow and I'm sure everyone will happily forgive you because they love you so much."
"I'm not sure about your brother though." He uttered in a concerned voice and raised his hands in defence.
"I'll help you and I'm sure he'll forgive you because my happiness matters to him and he is mature, too. I missed him so much, we never shared the best bond like Barbie and yours but he never bullied me and it was good being around him in that mansion. We felt awkward talking but we just understood each other well so we never needed to talk much. It's complicated but still, we love each other a lot." I remembered how good Ben always treated me though he always tried to live alone so I learned that thing from him.
He exhaled heavily and covered his face with his hands. "I'm extremely sorry for being more of an asshole to you. And thank you for being my back! Still, you have the world's best brother. At least that's what Barbie declared!" He spoke so fast and glimmered.
The last sentence he said showed me that they both had hurt each other. Barbie would never say that unless she was so hurt because all of us knew that she loved him like a mother.
But I had to relax him so I decided to lighten his mood with my crazy act. "Look, I'm deleting those bad memories!" I put my index finger between my eyebrows and closed my eyes. "Dear mind! I'm commanding you to delete the bad memories with Jay right now."
I made a serious face and tapped on my forehead with my second hand's index finger, "open the folder of Jay!" I said in a commanding tone as I was the owner of my fucking brain.
"Delete the bad memories!" I tapped again on my forehead. My nail went a little deep in my skin as I clumsily tapped my finger on my forehead so I cussed, "fuck! Ouch!"
I opened my one eye only to see him stifling a chuckle. Alright! So my mission didn't fail this time.
"Are you sure you want to delete these files?" I asked myself in a robotic voice. "Yes!" Answering myself in my normal voice, I smiled and hit my forehead for the last time. I opened my eyes but couldn't stop laughing at my own stupidity.
After hearing my giggling, he also started laughing. "We will never break up and we'll surely have a happily ever after and have three baby drama queens like you. Let's get married tomorrow!"
Wait! How the topic got changed! I was curious about his mind, like what goes on there always!
"What? Are you kidding me?" I couldn't believe he was talking about getting married that easily.
"No! I'm seriously saying, let's get married! I mean why not? We love each other and we can't live without each other, right?"
"Crazy! You are crazy!" I started laughing loudly. "We are still kids, not mature enough to get married! And I won't get married to you until I become a doctor."
I folded my arms and he looked at me with puppy eyes, "I want to marry you."
No! This time, your cute innocent face won't work for me.
"Don't you think that you are being too cheesy? You are a sweet talker and horrible angry man. Sometimes I just wonder where you learned to say cute things!"
"I discovered this cute and lovely side of me when I fell for this gorgeous girl."
"Enough for today! Now, I should go home. My family will be waiting for dinner and I have an issue to handle at the house."
He grasped my wrist and brought me closer, "it's your birthday and I'm not going to spoil it more by leaving you alone at your place. We are going to my place, I'll take the keys to my car and then, we'll go to a restaurant or park or anywhere you want to go."
Even though I also didn't want to leave yet, I wished I could spend the whole night with him.
Oh, no! Not like that! I blushed while hiding my face with my hands.
"Why are you blushing now?" He caught me off guard.
"When? No! I'm not blushing."
"Then why are you hiding your face?"
"I'm not!" I took my hands off my face and smiled to assure him.
He held my chin with his finger, "shall we?"
I just nodded, I couldn't utter a word because of his hot air falling on my face. I thought he was going to kiss me so I was about to close my eyes but I'm glad that I didn't.
We started walking to his house while holding each other's hands. When we entered his house, my mouth dropped wide open.
George and Alex were fighting with each other, the blood was rushing over their noses and mouths. There were bruises on their handsome faces, they both had one eye blackened.
Superman and Spiderman were fighting, was there any shooting of an action movie? And why was George wearing a red boxer with Spiderman's costume? Was he trying to design the dress himself? If they wouldn't have been in a serious situation, I would have laughed so loudly.
I shook my head and shooed away all the stupid questions. Fiona, Theo, and Ben were trying to push George aside while Bella and Fiona held Alex's arms to keep him away from George.
George and Alex were holding each other's collars with so much hate in their eyes.
"What the fuck is happening here?" Jay shouted and everyone bothered to look at us.
Bella looked at me and smirked, her devilish smile was telling me that she must have done something wrong.
