Taking The Leap

Raymond went to meet with Arya like everyday. The route of her car going in his house amused him. Because the car drops Arya first then Raymond. Some special days they dine at restaurants.

" We're going to my house first ? "

" I've to meet Liana. "

" Oh..." His voice got low

She looked at him judgingly " Are you jealous of your little sister ? "

He smiled slightly " You show her more affection because you’ve no sibling of your own. There’s no Competition between me and Liana. "

" She's like a younger sister and you're an annoying pop up that hinders my day. "

Raymond laughed mischievously which angered her. " Stop it. " she yelled

" That pop up's a part of your daily life now... Even before the pop up shows...you think about removing it. You think about it all day. Waiting for it. " They looked at each other seriously

The driver who's also her bodyguard intervened by looking at her though rearview mirror " Maam... "

She took a breath answered " Not yet. "

This interaction always curioused Raymond. It happens every other day after their fight. But everytime Arya's answer remains the same. He wondered what'll happen when she says Yes.

Arya entered Liana room to see a mess. Clothes surroundings the room while she's trying on outfits. " Liana, what's happening ? "

" I should make change in me and appearance is a good place to start. "

" You called me for fashion advice ? " Arya isn’t a girly girl. She's more of a professional businesswoman.

" I wanna adapt your formal style and girlboss attitude. "

She didn’t knew how she could help " I can... hire a stylist for you. "

Liana sat on her bed and exhaled " It's not just about clothes. There's this guy... "

Even though Arya's older than her she never dated anyone so she can't give her advice " You want relationship consultancy from me ? "

" Well you wrapped around Raymond bro effortlessly. " She regretted as she said. Arya frowned with anger.

Liana stood up " I... I wasn’t thinking straight. " She was afraid of hurting her sentiments

" You brother sister duo have quite talent in getting on peoples nerves. " She was quite offended

" I need you, sis...Ruby and Jace discouraged me. So, I need your approval. "

" Why my inexperienced opinion ? "

" Have you never been in love ? "

" Romantic love...never. "

" Sorry about my comment earlier. In my heart I want you and Raymond brother together. "

" No, He can only be family friend. "

" I'm afraid if not you I'll get a dumb sister in law. "

Arya sucked her anger and tried to listen to her " You’ve your answer already. Their discouragement upset you. You don't need my encouragement. Go for it. "

Liana's eyes sparkled with hope. She can follow her desires confidently now.

The Next Day :

Liana wore a beige and peach themed formal pencil skirt and blouse. She shifted her look. It was noticeably good.

" You wanna seduce a professor by your childish ways. " Jace mocked her

She lifted her eyesbrows " Why...Isn't is working ? " said with a smirk

He scanned her from top to bottom. She really catched his eyes.

Liana snapped her fingers to bring him back to reality " Are you lost ? "

He grabbed her arm and pulled her closer. In the crowded hallway they found serenity between them " You're not easy to handle. So, he can he..."

Before letting him finish " If not him then...can you handle me ? Will you handle me ? "

Jace realised what he's doing. He step back slowly with pained eyes.

Liana judged him " That's what I thought...You're a coward. " Their tensed relationship was getting worse.

At the Day End :

Tian came to his to see a flat tire. He sighed with frustration. Liana came to his rescue.

" Do you need help ? "

With a poker face he looked her cheerful face. it turned into a frown when he looked behind to see a Mercedes car.

" How coincidental ! My car flattened and you show up with a benz. "

She was confident " I call it fate... Cars must intrigue you. You named the model correctly. "

" What you can't get fascinates you...Miss. "

Liana scrunched her forehead " You forgot my name ? " Her offence didn’t bothered Tian. Still she was hopeful and offered to talk in the car.

"I'm not going with you. " He folded his hands around his chest

His audacity angered her. " I'm going out of my way for you. And you... "

" Going out of your way to puncture my tire. I can report you." Liana got flustered when he caught her.

" I can't wait for fate to work my way. So I did it... "

" You're a student but if you stalk me again. I file charges. "

As he was walking away...

" Take RESPONSIBILITY For That NIGHT. "

His eyes widened " Watch your words. "

" Do you think I go out running to guys ? You came to me. You can't leave after... infatuating me. "

" What did I do that night ? "

" I felt.... " Liana tried to express her emotions

" Not you...what actions did I do ? Did we kiss ? Had sex ? What... " He knew nothing like that happened but he didn’t knew he took her heart.

Liana felt her feelings were deamened but heart was a complex organ. It still kept on Taking The Leap.

" Go on a Date with me. I'll make the reservation. "

Tian scoffed at her " Why I'll go out with you ? "

" Look at me... "

" I'm looking... at a narcissist, self obsessed, rich brat. "

" Look at my eyes... "

Tian looked to see soft doey eyes full of innocence. Almost childlike. He was about to lose his compose.

" Good Bye...Miss Liana. "

" You remembered my name. Guess we just need stare at each others eyes. "

He walked away for real this time.

" I'll texr details about our Date. " yelled Liana with a smile
