Bear Hug

Lily was drowned in her thoughts, when a pleasent tone brought her out of her stupor and she saw her phone ringing.

She saw the screen of her phone and her lips turned into an arc and she cheerfully answered the call, "Hey Amelia, Noah, how are you guys?"

Unlike her pleasant tone, what greeted her ears was a sharp shrill and irritated voice, "You dare ask us how we are? If you are so concerned why didn't you call me for two days, two long days?"

While lily sighed at the tantrums of her best friend Amelia, her other friend was chuckling, and that's when  someone's attention turned on him, "You dare laugh? Huh! Noah Wilson, you haven't called me for last five days, where were you huh? Apparently hooking up with some weird girl!"

" Hey hey, hold your horses queen Amelia, I was stuck in a business deal, and FYI I wasn't hooking up with any girl", Noah replied almost instantly.

Lily was smiling, listening to her friend's banter. She just loved how being with those two could take away all her problems and all that's left is unending banter and laughter.

She was lost in her thoughts when she heard Noah say, " Today is Lily's day, she is going to make her first appearance infront of the world".

"And also going to make her first move against those who wronged her"  Amelia said.

That's what made lily's heart feel a little bit uneasy and she sighed.

Both of her friends knew how difficult it was to stand against those who had wronged her, even after achieving everything on her own, there was something unsettling with in her by the mere thought of facing them.

Before lily could think anymore, she heard both of them say at the same time, " stop thinking!".

"And turn around", said Amelia.

Lily was used to them barging in  her office anytime, but today she was quite surprised as she hasn't thought of meeting those two in her office rather than at the award show.

 

Lily saw Amelia standing near the couch, holding a tray with lavender tea and assorted sugar free cookies.

She kept the tray and pulled lily in a bear hug and said, "How could we leave you alone on such an important day?"

Then she turned and looked at Noah and said, " what? You don't wanna hug?"

And then two most important people of her life enveloped her in a warm bear hug that filled her cold heart with warmth.
