Dylan POV
''Okay we'll be there''. Hardin hung up the phone. ''It was Nail on the call. He was inviting us to Emily's birthday. He asked me to bring Bella along. So I'll go and ask Bella to come with us''. He said. ''Okay, then let's go together''. I replied. So Hardin and I went to his home. I was waiting and after some time Hardin came along with Bella.It was not my first time seeing her but it felt like I had seen her for the first time. I was captivated by her beauty. She was wearing a light pink floral dress and looked really gorgeous. While I was driving, Hardin told her about Emily's birthday and she became mad about not telling her about that beforehand. She told Hardin that she hadn't brought a gift and she wasn't dressed properly. Hardin told her that he had already bought the gifts and she was looking fine. I was silently listening to their conversation when Hardin involved me in their conversation and I told her she looked beautiful. Then I started the conversation.'' So how are your studies going''? I asked her.''Good, but these days I am quite busy with assignments and stuff''. She replied. ''Have you made any friends''? I asked. ''Yeah and they are really nice to me''. She replied . '' Soon we reached the birthday party and everyone was busy talking and Nail asked me to come along with him. ''Are you interested in her''? He asked. ''Interested in who, what are you talking about''? I asked. ''I am talking about Hardin's sister, Bella''. He replied. '' Why are you asking this all of a sudden? I am not interested in anyone''. I replied . '' Dylan, we have been friends since our childhood and you can't hide anything from me. The way you look at her clearly shows that you like her. From the day you first met her till the present day you told me everything and after listening to all of this it's clear that you like her, but I can't understand why you are holding yourself back''? He asked. ''Look, there is nothing like that, it's just she is different from other girls who just throw themselves at me but being interested is something different and we still don't know each other at all''. I replied. ''So you should try to know her what's the big deal''? He asked. '' I just don't know about her''. I replied ''It's not a big deal". He replied. ''. Let's go back inside ''. I said.
After sometime, the party ended and Bella and Emily got along well and she invited Emily to her birthday as well. Anyhow, we came back. I dropped Hardin and Bella and went for a drive. The roads were almost empty as it was quite late. Everything seemed silent but there was a single question that made me anxious: '' Am I really interested in this girl''? After thinking about it again and again, I finally realized that I liked her. ''I don't know when and why this happened but I like her a lot and there is one thing for sure, that she'll be mine''.I said to myself. I felt quite happy and relaxed as well. I went back home and went upstairs to my room and fell asleep.
After a few days, Father told me about Bella's birthday as we were invited to it . There were many preparations going on in the Knight villa.
It was the day of her birthday. I went out to get a gift for her. I hope she likes it. Father and I went to the party. Her family greeted us warmly. Many people were invited to the party and Nail and Emily were also there. Our fathers were busy in their conversation and I started to chat with Nail and Emily. ''So, Dylan, you have finally found someone you like''. Emily said. ''Did Nail tell you about it ''? I asked. ''Yeah and believe me, she is an amazing person. I really appreciate your choice''.She chuckled. I looked at Nail and said ''There is something known as secret between friends''. ''Oh come on, she is my sister. It's okay to tell her''. Nail said. ''Nevermind just change the topic''. I replied. We were talking when I saw Bella coming downstairs. She was wearing a royal blue gown and her hair was curled. The moment I saw her, everything around her became meaningless and I couldn't help but look at her and admire her. Her smile was bright as the sun, her hazel eyes were shining like stars and she looked extremely delicate yet attractive. All this really wanted me to make her mine forever. I am eagerly waiting for that day.
