LOVE

What's wrong with Blake?

Samaira's POV

I wonder what's going on with Blake. He's always acting strange around me. First is the proximity he always creates between us. Second, he's always bringing up our past. And then the kiss. I guess I'm gonna have to talk to him. I can't run forever. As much as I want to deny the fact that he doesn't affect me anymore, I know it's a lie and so does he.

We soon reach home and go inside. Ivaan and Siara are sitting in the living room. They are watching something on the phone and frowning, I wonder what it is.

"Hey, guys. Look who's here", I say excitedly. They just love Andre.

They spin around and look at us. "Andre? You are already here, mate. That's awesome," Ivaan says and gets up, comes over, and hugs Andre. These guys are the main men in my life and I love to see them bonding.

"It's so good to see you, bro," Andre expressed.

"Hey! You do remember that your bro has a fiance too, right?", Siara asked jokingly.

"I kind of forgot, actually," Andre fooled. "Sure you did, come here," then they hugged.

"What were you guys watching?" Laura asked them. They both looked at each other. "Just something Samaira was trying too hard to hide," Ivaan replied. "What do you mean, Iv?" I questioned him. And then he showed me the news I was hiding.

Blake snatched the phone from him hastily. "Why the fuck are you even seeing this?" Blake questioned. "Well, maybe because it's all over the news?" Ivaan said sarcastically.

"You know what Blake, just chill out. Do you think we don't notice the tension between you two? This was your mess right from the start. Clean it up!" Siara ordered.

"You know what guys, as much as I want to continue talking to you all. I'd like to terminate this conversation. Suck it up. Let's focus on your wedding more than my past. I want a cheerful vibe here", I stated, irritation evident.

"We'll freshen up and come. Let's go, Laura. Blake, you can freshen up in your room. Andre, come with me", I said and dragged Laura and Andre out of the room. Before talking to Ivaan and Siara about anything, I need to talk to these guys first.

"Andre, take the room beside mine. After showering, come to my room. I need to talk to you guys", I told him. Basically ordered him. He nodded and went into his room.

Laura came with me, to my room." Everything alright?" she asked.

"Will tell you. Go shower first," I practically pushed her into the bathroom and went to the closet. I picked outfits for both of us.

Laura came out and told me to shower. I took a quick shower and came out. Andre was already here.

"So? What did you want to speak about?"Andre asked.

"It's about Blake. He has been acting odd ever since I moved here. First, he shows up at my place without notifying me, then he's always trying to keep me close to him, and he's always asking for forgiveness and bringing up our past. And he even kissed me."

"HE DID WHAT?!" Laura screamed.

Andre covered her mouth. "Shut the fuck up! I don't want the others to hear!"I exclaimed.

"And I see some mysterious emotions in his eyes. And today, he said that he wants to be a part of my life," I told them every little thing.

"What did you say?"Andre asked.

"I told him to prove himself. Prove that it's worth giving that little space to him," I answered.

Andre got up and embraced me. "You did great, bestie," he said and beamed.

"Laura?" I looked at her. "I just want you to be happy, and I don't trust that guy," she stated.

I sat beside her and clutched her. "I get where this is coming from, and I understand."

"Hey, Samaira?" Andre began. "Yes?" "Are you sure you want this? I mean I meant what I said. You did great. But are you really sure about it?" he asked with concern.

Honestly? I don't know. I am not sure about anything. But my gut feeling says that this is the right thing to do, "I reply with complete truthfulness. "Then you should go for it. Because most of the time your gut feeling is correct," Laura said and I smiled.

" Alright, alright. Let's go downstairs before your brother comes up," Andre said. Right, he might actually come up to see what's wrong.

We go down to the living room, but find the room empty. "Where do you think they are?" Laura asks. Before I could respond to her, my phone started ringing.

"It's Ivaan," I inform them. I answer the call, "Come out," he says.

We go out, but the yard is empty. "What the fuck are they doing?", Laura asks and I shrug. We keep walking till we reach the center of my yard.

As soon as we reach there, we hear Brien counting. "3...2...1," and then firecrackers start bursting.

"WOW!" Laura exclaims.

The firecrackers say, "Welcome Andre", "I love you, Laura", "I missed you, Samaira"

All of them come out of hiding and are grinning ear to ear. "What was that for?" I ask them.

"Just wanted to make you guys feel special", Siara replies.

"The first message was from Siara and me," Ivaan said. "Second one was from me," Brien said and blushed. "The third one was from me," Blake said and I raised my eyebrows suspiciously.

Blake's POV

This surprise was planned by Brien. And to be honest, it was pretty good. After everything we had to go through today, Samaira deserved to know how I actually feel. I missed her more than anything in this world.

She's asking me what was that about with her eyes, I just shrug it off. If only she knew...

Brien and Laura are kissing each other happily, and that makes me so envious. I'd love to kiss Samaira right now. But I know better than to do that. Everyone here despises how I treated Samaira back then. But that's ok because no one knows the actuality behind it.

"C'mon, let's go inside. We have a whole wedding to plan, "Andre said. "Yeah, let's go," Samaira agreed with him. Everyone started moving inside. I caught Samaira before she could step in. "What?" she questioned. "I meant it," I said. "Meant what?" she asked. "I missed you. Everyday." But before she could reply, Andre came out to call her. I am starting to hate this man.

Samaira went in, held his hand, and entered the living room. I am so jealous of that man right now. He gets to have everything I have ever wanted. And Samaira is fucking me up!

I go inside too. And as soon as I enter the room Siara says something that shocks me. "I am sorry, Blake," she said. "Sorry for what?" I ask and sit down beside her. She turns to me and says, "For whatever I said earlier."

I start laughing. "Aww, it's ok. I have a habit of hearing all those things now. And I know I deserve it. I fucked up big time. So it's alright, you don't have to apologize," I assure her.

"Alright! Let's chuck all the bad vibes out of the window and plan the wedding of the year!" Samaira exclaims. And then everyone else screams too, "YESSS!!!"
