RAY

Chp 7. He is beautiful

POV:

Ray Mellan

It's funny to think about how much things have changed since we used to be kids. I say kids even though it was hardly even six months, but I certainly don't feel like that person anymore. I've grown up, probably a lot faster than I would've liked to, after that incident.

About ten minutes I'm still standing alone probably looking like a freaking retard, but then all of a sudden I am knocked down by someone.

I hear small laughing sounds and look up, and see Lily. 

What a surprise, and immediately my mood becomes lighter and I hug her in that awkward position, and then we both get up and regain our balance.

"Hey Ray, it's been ages since I met you." She says smiling at me.

" Yeah, I know. " I said, mirroring her smile. I still had my arms around her shoulder.

God, I missed her so much.

She explained to me how she was yelling my name, but I was busy in my LaLaLand, ignoring every other sound, and so she decided to run and hug me but we ended falling together.

I laughed at her, my smile reaching my eyes. 

"I missed you, Lily!" I said.

Newfound energy was augmenting within me, a feeling of happiness and peace. A smile invaded my lips as I spoke to her.

"So, how was your Asia trip?" I asked her. She was gone for a year, to travel, learn and study about the Asian culture with her parents.

"It was amazing, I landed yesterday, and was heading to your house but then saw you here, so I came here, I got to tell you so many things. Ray, I missed you so much. And you got to update me, on what all thing I have missed here so far." She beamed with excitement.

Does she really wants to know what has happened?

I smiled sadly towards her, but she was interested in something behind me, cause she was staring at them, blushing red.

I turn around and look up at him, his brown eyes are fixed directly on me, I have never gotten a good look at him until now. He has a perfectly chiseled face with slight stubble, his brown hair is messed up and his lips... those could make someone melt in an instant. No wonder girls swooned over him.

He is beautiful.

"Ray," He whispers, snapping me back into reality.

"Yes?" I asked softly.

"Can we talk, please?" he asked, hoping my answer would be positive.

"Sure, she would love to speak to you hottie, and if you want even I can join your little chat, I'm sure Ray won't mind me." Lily beside me spoke out of sudden, holding Ash's arm, flirting with him, and winked at him before turning towards me asking for my permission.
