Week of Happiness(Part 1)

Mia Pov

My heart was beating so fast... I was not able to breathe, The chocolate tasted so good, so sweet under my tongue, but it was even sweeter to have the person sit next to you, whom you love the most...

" Do I love Ray... or was it just an attraction"

as I thought I got up to go for a stroll, before my heart bust from beating so fast... but what surprised me, even more, was Ray, he asked

"Where to...Mia"

his sexy... husky voice sent shivers under my spin, no words came out, but somehow I managed to say out few words

"Just for a walk in the neighbourhood... for some fresh air"

"Can I walk with you...Mia"

Now my heart stopped... my brain was dead, and I stood blinking at the person in front of me, without any conscious I just nodded my head like a puppet, Ray gestured me to the main door, and walked behind me, we reached the elevator, it was larger than that was in our apartment, as we reached the ground floor, Ray said

"Mia... if you don't mind, I will take you to one place here... will you come with me"

with him... even end of worlds I will go, as I thought, I nodded my head, and walked behind Ray... Ray walked out of the walking trail and took me to a muddy road, as we walked few minutes, the muddy road was even rougher... with shrubs on the side and a lot of pebbles.. that made little difficult in walking, but I was happy because I was walking with the person in my dreams...When I stepped on a rocky stone, I slipped and was about to fall, a warm hand held my arms, not letting me fall, as I looked up, I saw the most handsome face that was so near to me, that was breathtaking, he looked like a movie hero... straight out of the screen, I balanced myself with Ray help and stood and my foot.

"I loved this man in front of me... no words can describe why, but in deep down my heart, I loved him, and without him... my life was a mess"

Ray Pov

I know what my friends were doing... giving us some space, they were desperate...me to open up to Mia, Finally, I permitted myself to be happy, and try to open up with the girl who stirred my whole being in no time... I loved her, I know, but was literally scared to admit that, but now I bought some courage into myself and walked and sat next to her, wanted to confront her... to know if she liked me, Mia was tasting the chocolate that I bought, Mia gave a piece of chocolate to me... it was milk chocolate with raspberry and few nuts in it, it really tasted very good, the tangy, taste of raspberry was stimulating and it was given by Mia... the touch of her had magic,

"Oh, God... I am going crazy now"

I thought to myself, as I was in my thoughts, How to ask her if she felt the same way for me, but Mia stood up from the couch, I looked up to see what happened, She was blushing...and breathless... I didn't know what happened to her, maybe, she felt hot, but the room was air-conditioned, so as I wondered... I asked her where she was going, and she responded that for a walk, I wanted to be with her... so asked if I can go, and she agreed, I wanted to make it more special for both of us so, I asked if she was willing to come with me to a special place, and she agreed again without a blink of her eye...

I took Mia on a rough road that led us both to the lake, this way I found a few days ago when I came for a family get together in this Sunrise Resort Function hall... I never like family get together, I feel all those judging eyes, that reminds me so much of my long lost parents... I always escape that place, till Riley finds me, as we walked the road got even rough, when Mia trampled on a stone and was about to fall, I held her, by her arms... the touch of her sent lighting and thunderbolts into me... I was so lost in her, she was not a breathtaking beauty but she was unique... She was charming, and beautifully... beautiful, I loved this girl in my arms.

Mia balanced herself, and stood, with a shy face, not daring to look at me...I enjoyed the way she blushed, the way she stole glances with me... I loved every single aspect of her, as I was processing my thoughts I said,

"Mia... hold my hands for balance, the road ahead is even rougher"

She nodded her head to me and held my hands... that's it I am all her's, This girl can give me a heart attack, sleepless nights, Happiest moments... all the emotions at the same time... She's the one who can replace all the heartaches in my life, as I thought I held her hands even more tightly... so I can feel the warmth in her palms, which made me want to live..."happily" which I thought was impossible, still I met her.

Mia was the anchor of my life who can give stability, to my floating heart... as I thought, I took her carefully to the end of the road, it was deck... with few steps, to the lake, and the Sun was already about to set... it was so beautiful to see the rippling lake water, that was reflecting different shades if the sunlight...

We both sat there.... with our legs into to water, and enjoying the sunset, it was beautiful... but not as beautiful as the amazed look of the cute girl next to me, Mia looked at me from time to time... with her mesmerising smile of her's, I was so lost in her... Finally, gathered some courage and asked,

"Mia, can I ask you something... "

"Yaa... please ask, anything you want"

"What's that guy... your suitor's name"

She blinked few times and said,

"I don't know... he's from T city, that's all I know"

I was so shocked at what she said, how can her parents, be so cruel to her...I wouldn't stop from asking her,

"Do you certainly, want to marry the suitor, that your family has decided for you, you actually don't even know him, how can you be happy with that person"

I was seeing Mia's face to see, what was her mind, but she bent her head and said

"In our Family, we girls have on saying on wedding, it's all decided by the elders, but My brother as said to my Mom, that he will agree to this wedding only if I like the guy... So"

She stopped... and looked at me as though she wanted some answers for the questions she had, but in few seconds, she turned to see the sunset, I was able to see how lonely she was like me... which made my heart ache for her, I wanted to give the whole of the world to her, to keep her happy... I asked

"Mia, why can't you wait for another few years... than getting married now to an unknown guy, so soon... while you're only nineteen...why can't you say no to this marriage"

I was so very frustrated... thinking, even though she didn't like that guy, she has to marry him, because her parents decided, what nonsense was that... Mia turned to me and asked,

"Why do you say that I should wait for few more years... what's going happen in few more years, it's going to be the same, they will get an unknown guy to me to marry, he should only be well settled... they don't care, if I liked him or not"

as she finished, Mia smiled bitterly, that was even worst than a cry... I was not able to see her so unhappy, I decided I will talk first to Daniel bro, and see what we can do, though I love her, I can't marry her now, I have to finish my studies and take over the company with Riley, it will take us to accomplish that, we needed at least three to four more years, so can she wait, or what I am going to do... the thought of her marrying some unknown guy haunted me like some nightmare.

We both walked back to Megan's house, while holding our hands... as we reached the apartment, Mia turned and looked at me with a very puzzled look, and walked straight to her room, and even I needed a shower, as I came out, the most hateful person I saw in the living room, who sat with Daniel bro, on the couch....
