Crush

After a long consoling session...Mrs. Texas got a little bit calm and finally stopped shedding tears.

The doctor came out after one and a half hour and told Mrs. Texas that Austin might be having a concussion and he has got a fracture on his left leg.

Everyone was a bit relieved that there were no major injuries.

"Aunty...I guess you should go back" Sam said as he sat beside Mrs. Texas.

Mrs Texas refused to go back before she could see her son fine and out of the concussion.

Now...technically everyone was waiting outside for Austin to wake up.

"You guys want anything like coffee, juice..?" Oliver asked.

"Juice." Mike said.

As Oliver went to get juice, he stopped in front of a patient's room which was not that far from Austin's. The patient in the room was a girl, her head was injured and wrapped in bandage but her rest of the body was fine. She was sleeping, and an old couple maybe her parents were sitting quietly with their heads down in tension... They had never seen their daughter in an accident.

As Oliver saw this, he thought something for some mins and then went out of the hospital to get juice.

When Oliver came back to give everyone juice. Some were inside Austin's room as he had woken up.

"Is he fine?" Oliver asked as he handed over the juice to Mike.

"Well, yeah." Mike said.

Ally was outside but she had a calm expression on her face. The relieved expression of Ally was due to Austin"s waking up. Oliver noticed these expressions but somehow was confused so he did not bother to say anything.

"Um...Mike I'll be back in some mins...give me a call if you go back." Oliver said.

"Ok." Mike said.

Oliver went back to see the girl that he had noticed earlier. He knocked on the door and the old man opened the door.

"Hello sir, I am Oliver Danson. I know your daughter, can I talk to her?" Oliver asked gently as he bent down to greet him.

"Um, sure." The old man said as he welcomed the guy inside.

Tanya was awake, as she saw Oliver coming she was a little confused that why this unknown guy is here?

"Tanya dear, this young man said he knows you. We will leave you guys to have a chat." Tanya's father said.

"I..."

Before Tanya could say that she does not know this guy her parents went out of the room.

"Who are you? And I know you?" Tanya asked.

"We have met once at Conutry A's seminar that was held not too long ago. We even were a team for a specific task there." Oliver said.

As Tanya heard Oliver's words she remembered going into the seminar to represent Four Leaf College.

"Oh, ah yeah! Sorry for my bad memory...but I didn't expect you'd remember me." Tanya said.

"Guys don't forget the girls they have a crush on." Oliver said.

Tanya was shocked to hear these words from a guy she barely knows. They hadn't even talked much in the seminar and he already has a crush on her? The words from Oliver's mouth looked impossible to believe.

"I...I'm flattered but... I already have someone." Tanya said.

Oliver knew she was going to say this. But he had planned everything in those some mins before he went to buy juice.

"I know... I know that my words may look a bolt out of the blue but I am not kidding or playing tricks on you. You won't believe the crush and love at first sight either but... I don't know how should I express this but...the moment I saw you there in that seminar....My heart felt warm...and when I started to chat with you....the day just seemed perfect. Look...I am just asking for one chance to pursue...if I won't be able to win your heart...then no worries." Oliver said.

His heart was beating so fast that it felt like it would jump out of the chest right now. He was nervous to talk about this in front of the real girl. He might have practised this a hundred times in front of mirror but then again real thing makes everyone nervous.....

"Ah...I will think about this.." Tanya said as she bowed her head a little to hide her embarassed or flustered expression after seeing such an honest and straight forward confession from a guy.

"Ah...Ok. Here is my number..." Oliver said as he passed a paper to her on which his number was written.

"You have come fully prepared, huh?" Tanya asked with an awkward smile on her face.

"I like to be prepared." Oliver said as he went out of the door.
