Alianova stared down at the sleeping form of Megharleen, with a surge of guilt. She sat down on the edge of the bed, and gently stroked Megharleen's face as she smiled down on the latter.
Megharleen slowly opened her eyes to the gentle strokes on her face. She saw the blurred face of Alianova through half open eyelids.
'Hi.'
'Hello Meg. You slept so long.'
'Needed it.'
'Ohh. Okay.'
Alianova moved to the edge as Megharleen sat up. As soon as she had, her phone started buzzing.
Holy shit ! It's Anthony !
'Leave you be.'
Alianova exited the room.
Megharleen attended the call, her voice softened by the sleepiness.
'Hi.'
'Hey beautiful.'
Beautiful ? Did he just call me beautiful ?
The word activated Megharleen, but she was too sleepy to give a proper reply.
'When did you start calling me beautiful ?'
'When did you start attending my calls in this style ?'
'What do you mean ?'
'Your sound makes me want to kiss you.'
Megharleen paused.
Kiss this mess ? You crazy ?
'Kiss a mess ?'
'It ain't any mess, this one is you.'
Megharleen blushed.
'Of course it is.'
'Harleen, can we meet ?'
'Sure. When ?'
'At the park near to house, by five.'
Megharleen stared at the clock.
It was only fifteen minutes past four.
'Alright.'
'I love you. See you.'
I love you too.
Megharleen flushed with pleasure. In a blushing daze, she went to the bathroom to freshen up. She worried about her messy appearance and tried to put on some makeup, but decided against it. She changed into a black hoodie and black jeans. Tugging on her sneakers, she hurried downstairs and bumped into Alianova.
'You wanna tag along ?'
'Sure, why not ?'
'I don't get it, why are we here ?'
'I promise to explain.'
A shout made their heads turn.
'Hey beautiful !'
Megharleen and Alianova turned to see a pale skinned boy in a dark hoodie and grey tracks run towards them.
Megharleen had raised her hand to wave, when she realized that he had stopped dead.
'What happened ?'
Megharleen had run over to him.
Anthony stared ... At Alianova.
Megharleen whirled in time to see Alianova shrink away. She ran back to Alianova, who had a question for her.
'Meg, please don't tell me you're in love with him ?'
'Why ?'
'Because ...'
'Because ?'
'He is the very same guy who assaulted me.'
Megharleen stopped dead, the blood rushing to her ears.
