"So..." Grace started with a smirk on her face as soon as we reached the car.
"So...?" I asked narrowing my eyes as I exactly know what she wants to say.
"So, Liam remembers your favourite cake huh."
"Uh, Grace please."
"What?"
"I know you did this deliberately. You convinced me to come with you and I get to know that Liam is coming too. What you think I am dumb?" I asked her with a frown.
"Actually, I dint invite Liam but Aiden did. He wanted his best friend to come with him and so did I wanted my best friend to come with me. That's it." Grace said with an innocent face but mischievousness was clear in her eyes.
"Yeah, okay. But I don't believe you." I said while sitting in the car as I heard her laugh.

"Ava" I turned to see Ian calling my name while I was climbing the stairs to my room.
"Hey" I said
"Hey, I was thinking if we could talk or do something. Like when you left Italy, we dint get to say goodbye and now we dint even get to say hellos."
"Yeah, well hello Ian. Nice to meet you after so long." I said raising my hand for a handshake with a smile.
"Hello Ava, nice to meet you too." He said copping my actions as we both laughed slightly.
"So, can we go for a coffee?" he asked and I looked at him with wide eyes. Was he asking me on a date or something?
"Ian, are you ..." I started with he cut me off saying,
"Oh no I am not asking you on a date. Well, I would actually love to go on a date with you but not now. I just want to spent some time with you." He said with a small smile.
"Okay then I will meet you at 5pm."
"Cool" he said as his smile widened. Turning around I started walking towards my room but stopped in my track as soon as I saw Liam leaning to the wall. And by his expressions I guess he heard me and Ian talking.
He, dint say anything just kept looking at me like he was searching for something on my face. His gaze was so strong that I was unable to break our eye contact. Gathering some courage, I broke the eye contact and walked away from him to my room.
Why dint he said anything? I know it was wrong to think that way but somewhere I wanted him to say something to me.
Does that mean he doesn't care with who I spent my time with? Does that mean he really is here only for the wedding? Does that mean he won't get affected by anything I do? Does that mean he has moved on in his life?
So many questions and thoughts started processing in my mind. Most importantly why am I thinking that way? Why do I want him to get affected by what I do? Why haven't I moved on yet?
'Because you can't move on, because you love him so much that it's hard to not even think of him even for a second.' My mind said. Swiping all the thoughts of my mind I decided to focus on the not-a-date date with Ian.
God! What is wrong with me?!
