This is how we came to this

"Why are you coming with me??"

Liam looked with disdain at the man covered in black mask, black sunglasses and black cap that was following him upstairs in the apartment from the car attracting all sort of weird gazes from all the person.

"To deliver the flowers." Ryan spoke like as if it was a given for him to come tagging along with him.

"But you are a celebrity!" Liam who was carrying half of the flowers still wanted him to turn back from the door.

One of the reason was definitely him worrying about his good friend who might get photographed by paparazzi and be in headlines the next day.

But the main reason was because he knew Lucia had a thing for this person, Ryan Nicholas who was the heartthrob movie Emperor.

After all he was a lady killer with those looks and charms and even fame.

"You just go away from here!" Liam took all of the flowers from him although it was hard for him to hold all of them, but a few sacrifices were to be made after all for greater good.

"Come on Liam…" Ryan was just teasing about going in himself. Honestly he felt it was better if Liam was the one who delivered it.

What was he supposed to say when he was questioned?

'I heard you wanted flowers so here I am with white lilies for you.'

'And I owe you this for what my uncle did.'

OF COURSE NOT!!

But the reaction of Liam just made him too curious and well here he was, following him up to the front door of someone's apartment.

"Here, take this." Ryan handed him all of the flowers he was holding. He directly disposed them off on his arms with a single movement.

"I am off." Ryan gave a strong pat on his shoulder. "Make sure to give this to her…All 30 of them." He stared at Liam before finally he decided to leave but just as they were staring at each other, that was the moment when the door to the apartment opened.

.

Since Liam had been gone for more than ten minutes, Lucia wondered if he fell down the rabbit hole that is if there was one.

But what she did not expect to see was Liam and another man looking at each other with eyes full of passion and fire while one of them was shoving flower on the arm of another person in domineering manner.

Both Ryan and Liam had not expected them to be caught in that awkward position.

But the door opening at the same time as that was too much!!

What a coincidence!

This day was getting more and more full of coincidence, one after the other.

"What are you guys doing?" Lucia looked at both of them but before they could answer her she interrupted them.

"I understand that you are really passionate but this is a public place." She looked around to see there was anyone and let out a relief realizing they were not seen by anyone else except her.

"Hey, wait it's not like that." Liam was the first one to snap back to reality. Ryan was well, too speechless to even think what to say.

"I am leaving." Ryan was still in disguise so he wanted to quietly move away from there before another misunderstanding was there.

Liam was also more than happy to have him go away. He was just making things more complicated for him creating more and more misunderstanding.

"That voice…" Lucia had heard it somewhere, and it was too familiar to just ignore it.

"You.." She called Ryan unable to retain her curiosity.

'What now?' Liam looked at the unusual expression on her eye, those eyes that seemed be there and while not there at the same time.

Ryan too stopped on his steps and he did not know why he felt obliged to stop when all he could do was walk away brushing her off like some kind of bug.

But no, he felt indebted to listen to her or was the thing he was feeling guilty?

"Lucia, let's go inside." Liam felt something was about to happen so he tried to urge Lucia in.

"Is there something wrong?" Ryan asked without turning back.

Lucia was now damn sure she had heard the voice many times and not just once.

"You…please come inside we need to talk." Lucia was straight forward when she invited him inside the house.

Opening the door, she gestured him inside with a welcoming aura which definitely was not welcoming as she had expected it to be. It seemed more like she was calling him to interrogate for something or not.

"Lucia you should not invite strange and weird people inside your house." Liam was still trying to get her to leave off the thought about Ryan.

'GO,go..' He gestured with his head at Ryan to take off from there while he was still holding the girl busy.

"You are the most suspicious one here." Lucia glared at Liam, who was her supposed debtor but she without even doing anything the man was already a part of her daily normal life.

Ryan had no reason s to decline the invite after all, he was curious about this Lucia girl who had been a part of some of his moment ever since the time he had returned to the city from abroad.

From her kidnapping to coming to her house for delivering flower, he did not know what else he was going to experience because of her.

He was a little too tired of his boring and monochromatic life after all.

"Let's go." He walked towards the open door, reaching it within few of his stride.

"Then, I am excusing myself in, Ms.Luica." Ryan took off his goggles and glanced at her wide opened eye full of shock upon seeing his identity.

"Thank you for the lovely invite." He gave a smirk before entering inside.

….

"And that is how things happened and we have two guests over here who are staying over for your party."

Lucia cut off her long story in to a short explanation.

"This is our debt collector, Liam and this is the movie emperor who brought the white lilies for you, Ryan Nicholas."

Letting a loud sigh of relief she waited for her mom who was on other side of the table listening to her with a blank expression.

"Hmm..." Mrs. Sovuyer looked at the trio once again.

Why?

Because she could not follow her through and needed a little bit time to understand how things came to this.
