"No way am I going to do that!" I exclaimed. The engagement part is in a few hours and I am being dolled up once again. This time by three girls instead of two. Anna too joined in the hassle and Elena sat there silently, her usual self. Want to know what I am refusing? Let's go a little half-an-hour back.

^Half-an-hour earlier^

Ring!

I looked at my phone to see that I got a message from Daniel asking me to face-time with him.

I immediately did eager to know what had him worried last time. With all the hassle I forgot about that issue. I am such a great friend! Sigh!

"Daniel!" I said as soon as his face appeared.

"Destiny!" He exclaimed his face lit up in a million watt smile.

Okay! If he is smiling so brightly I guess nothing is wrong.

"So I am guessing there really was nothing to worry about." I started.

"Yes there was nothing wrong, in fact things are perfect! Bella, I mean my girl friend is pregnant!"

What??? I can't believe it! My sweet little cute brother got a girl pregnant! Of course he is not so little and more handsome than cute but still I can't believe that he got her pregnant.

"Congrats I guess." I said still in shock. "Then why were you worried when you got the message?"

"Oh that! Bella was worried about how I might react. I assured her everything will be alright. Even if we have some problem with the baby you are there to take care of him/her like Dannon."

Okay.........

"Since when did I turn into a nanny for our group?"

His face turned pouty in a milli second shocking me.

"Are you saying that you will not help us?" He whined.

"Correction: I will help you guys to take care of your baby but he/she is your baby and will be your responsibility. I will just guide you and help you, not take complete care of the baby. You know no matter what I can't give the love that you as his parents can give. Dannon is special case. He is special to me and even that would not help my case. They seriously need my help and hence I was fortunate to have Dannon all to myself. I can't do that to your baby. He needs both of you."

"I know. I am sorry I didn't mean so. I just want some help. Our baby will be my responsibility and I will not give him to you even if you beg." He joked and I laughed along with him.

"Fine then I am ready to help anytime of the day. Remember I am just a phone call away!"

"Yup!"

"When will we meet the love of your life?"

"In your engagement party today. We would have been there already but we will be late since she is sleeping now. Morning sickness hit her hard and she is tired."

"No problem. Is she okay?"

"Don't worry. Just morning sickness! She will be fine."

I nodded. "Don't mind me mentioning this but still you guys should have waited using proper protection since you are still a student."

He blushed and I am sure I don't want to know why or how he forgot.

"Don't worry. There won't be a problem since as big D I already earned quite a lot and not to forget both my parents are popular actors. We are rich and I am their only son."

"Do your parents know about this?"

"Yes, I informed them. They are happy to welcome their grandchild."

"Are they okay with your girlfriend?" I can't help but be curious.

"You worry too much sis. She is my childhood friend. My parents know her well and they are happy that we FINALLY got together. Do you believe that they had bets with each other as to when we will get together!" He said rolling his eyes.

I can't help but laugh. "They sound awesome. When will I get to meet them?"

"In the party. They are eager to meet you."

"They know about me?"

"Yes, I told them about you."

"All good things I hope?"

"Yeah including how dense you could be!"

"Hey!"

The knock on my door had me turning back.

"Destiny! It's time to get ready!" G shouted and I groaned. I am not ready to be dolled up again. It was just yesterday evening they dolled me up and again today.

"Good luck with the torture. I will meet you in the party." Daniel chuckled and I glared at him. Not that I could do anything much other than glare at him.

I ended the call and the door opened showing me G, Lillian, Anna and Elena. I hugged Elena since she wasn't there with us in the morning. All the guys are already here and they are with Gouenji.

"Ready?" She asked and I nodded reluctantly. They are not bad but sitting still without having to move even an inch doesn't stand good with me.

They decided to leave my hair straight with a little curls at the end to suit my dress and decided with light make up since I am not used to wearing make up. But the actual problem started with the blush. Yes, this time a blush decided to be my demise. I don't know how it turned out like this but they decided to apply a little blush to my cheeks and everything would have been fine if not for the innocent comment of Elena. She is a shy girl and sat aside while all the other three were dolling me up, pulling my hair and what not. She occasionally spoke up here and there and to my utter bad luck she decided to comment on blush.

"Is it really necessary to put a blush on her cheeks?" That was the question which put me in the situation. G who was applying it stopped and looked at her. She blushed and stuttered.

"I mean Gouenji will make her blush easily so I thought that won't be necessary." She mumbled low. I am not really sure how the conversation led to this but somehow the topic on blush continued and they all wanted to see Gouenji blush and I am the one who is supposed to make him blush. I still don't understand what makes them think I can do that! I mean we are talking about Goeunji here! The ever poker faced! He even had a poker face when he revealed before our entire college about our first kiss and also regarding him being a virgin. Then what else could move him. Sure he smirks and smiles at me, shows worried face when I am involved but blushing? That's a whole new topic and that will never happen I say!

"It can happen!" Anna said. "He is a human being and he does have emotions so I am sure even he can blush." Except I consider him to be an alien sometimes or even a robot but I don't think I can argue without proof. "All you need to do is catch him off guard."

"Like how?" I hope I never asked this question because this was the final step to my ultimate demise.

"Kiss him." She said smack on without missing a beat. I gaped at her.

"Kiss him suddenly catching him off guard." She explained further but still that sounds ridiculous and the remaining two airheads are trying to convince me to do the same. I seriously don't understand why the hell they think that will make him blush! Like seriously!

"No way in hell am I going to do that!" I exclaimed with finality.

"So we will assume that you are not capable of making him blush." Lillian said

"Yeah I am not capable so what?"

"I never thought you are such a coward." G said trying further to goad me. I know their attempts and I am not a fool to listen to them.

"I am a coward! So what?" I said crossing my arms.

"Kiss him or else..." G said glaring at me.

"Or else what?" I said smirking at her at my obvious victory.

"Fine then! You are not giving me a choice!"

"What choice?"

"Either you kiss him or else I go on the stage and reveal the all the embarrassing stories along with showing all the pictures I got of you and Gouenji together."

I want to say no but is it worth the risk? I don't think so! "Aren't I engaged with him?I don't think they will mind." I said still standing my ground.

"Oh then you don't mind me telling them the story of you mistaking condoms for chocolates? I even have photos of you about to eat that!" I gaped at her in shock.

"You will not!"

"Yes I will! Along with your hot intense kiss photo in the dinner."

"No way! Come on please don't do this to me G."

"Oh I am not doing much! I am just asking you to kiss your own fiancee. Nothing is wrong with that." She said and pushed me into the closet and to wear the dress before I can protest further. There is no deterring them, is there? G will not hesitate to tell the whole crowd those stories and I don't doubt that she has that photos. She always takes photos since she wants to capture every memory. Though I like that idea very much, that very idea is working against me now. I came out reluctantly after wearing the dress and sandals.

"You look amazing!" They all exclaimed.

"Oh wait!" Anna said coming to me with a red lipstick. "This will make your lips more attractive." She said winking and applied it to my lips all the while I pouted which only helped in applying the lipstick properly. They also gave me a clutch in which in addition to the cell phone I need they included some tissues. When I looked at them funnily they said it will be useful to wipe off the lipstick since it will be smudged after the kiss! Bloody hell! They all planned this, didn't they? They even put this red lipstick in the clutch but I refused and put it in my usual lip gloss. No way am I ready to use this lipstick again! Lipstick just feels odd on me since I am not used to it! I was still pouting at them and gave them my puppy dog eyes.

"Okay don't look at us like that! We will all leave when you kiss him okay? And no, nothing more than that!" Anna huffed.

I nodded reluctantly since it seems to be the most I can get from them. I guess I am going to embarrass myself only before Gouenji but that's better than doing it in front of every one.

I turned to the mirror and find myself looking good with the blue dress. It fit perfectly, after all it was sized to fit me perfectly, not showing much or hugging my body tightly, it's decent and a little flowy. Jewelry was heavy on me but it pulled off well with the dress. After all fashion expert and ex-model G selected it so why not?

                                                                   //Asrea's Engagement Dress//

                                                                                 //Jewelry//

                                                          //Bracelet//

We started moving down the stairs towards the living room where the guys are waiting for us but I trailed behind contemplating whether I should run away now but running away in this dress is difficult and even if I was in pants I am more than sure that Gouenji will have no difficulty in finding me. I had my head down concentrating on my steps because I am wearing high heels which I am not used to and add a long dress to the equation. A little slip up is enough to have me rolling on the steps and end up yet again in hospital where I found myself frequently these days. But seriously these heels look very lovely and G carefully matched them to my dress but they are very delicate like they might snap any minute or me slipping and getting myself injured. They are six inches high to let me match at least a little to Gouenji's height.

As soon as I was at the last step a hand reached out to me. I looked up to find Gouenji with a fond smile on his face. For a moment all the crazy things I am supposed to do and the upcoming party disappeared from my head. I placed my hand in his a smile automatically forming on my lips. But as usual Gouenji will never do the normal things so instead of letting me walk the last time with him guiding me he tugged my hand hard making me fall on him with my eyes wide, of course he was the one who caught me and steadied me or else he would have died in my hands.

"You look very beautiful." He said with the same fond grin and affection in his eyes completely unaffected by the stunt he just pulled. His eyes mesmerized and for a moment I forgot but I am happy to say my mind is still in tact and thinking rationally. He looked very handsome with a matching blue suit looking like a prince, very hot and sexy. Don't tell him I said that!

"Well thank you and I would have appreciated it more if you said that casually instead of pulling me like that!" And in usual manner I got the familiar smirk from him. I guess I won't get promoted from the personal entertainer post even if I got promoted as his fiancee.

"Gouenji, Destiny wants to talk to you personally so we will wait in the car." Lillian said interrupting my momentary peace.

"You guys go ahead! We will come in another car then." Gouenji replied.

"It's not a problem. We will wait for you guys." G said.

"It might not be a problem for you but it is for me. I would like to have some time alone with her, especially when she is this beautiful today I think I need a few moments alone with her." Gouenji said directly making all our jaws drop in shock. Isn't he very straight forward? They soon scrambled off leaving me alone with master.

"So what is it that you want to talk about?" I gulped very, very tense.

"If this is about cancelling the engagement for some strange reason, let it be known to you that it will never happen."

I shook my head immediately. "No that's not it."

"Then?" He raised an eyebrow in question.

I fidgeted not knowing what to. I looked left and right nervously and we were absolutely alone. Better get over with it. I sighed and stood on my tip toes. With my heels it was a difficult but at the same time heels helped a little. Anyways I stood on my tip toe and gave him a quick sweet peck on his lips.

I backed down and bit my lip looking at him. He again had that poker face rendering me unable to read his emotions. I told you r he will never blush because of this right? And those guys made me do such a thing all for nothing! He then frowned making me further nervous. He didn't like it? May be he realized he doesn't love me and got vexed with me and my behavior. May be he found out from the kiss that we don't have that much connection as he thought and it was just a fleeting attraction and hence he wants to break the engagement.

"Do you have tissues?" He asked me his voice giving out nothing. I nodded blankly and handed him some from my clutch. That is it! This is the movement. Now he will wipe his lips with these tissues because he is disgusted. Shocking me he moved his hands forward and he wiped my lips.

What? What is he doing? He wiped my lips patiently for a while and pecked my lips lightly for a millisecond. My eyes widened shocked.

"Do you have your regular lip gloss?"

 I nodded my head yes again and searched in my clutch again pulling out the lip gloss my brain totally blank and boby working in autopilot mode. He took it from my hands and applied it carefully to my lips all the while I was dead confused. What is happening? Why is he doing what he is doing? He again pecked me lightly for a millisecond making my eyes wide again and the confusion increased.

"As I thought." He muttered and then grinned at me.

"Wha..what?"

"What? Oh! I don't like the lipstick taste. I like your natural taste more.Your lip gloss taste is also okay but I prefer your natural taste."

"What? Bloody hell!" I exclaimed hitting his chest lightly. My eyes glistened lightly with unshed tears.

"What happened?" He asked me very much worried. I bit my lip not saying anything. I don't want to say anything actually. My thoughts seem pointless now and I don't really know why I am crying actually.

"You know that you can tell me anything right?" He asked me and even though I didn't out right denied that point he could see that I am not agreeing with him. "No matter how pointless or small or petty or whatever you think it is I always want to know everything when it concerns you." He said lifting my chin and making me look at his piercing sharp green eyes which shone with honesty.

"I.." I started but hesitated. He said nothing but looked at me patiently seeming as if hanging onto my every word. "I thought you finally realized you didn't want me." I said biting my lip.

"How did you even pull that conclusion?" Gouenji asked me genuinely confused and then his confusion was gone and was replaced with a determined look. He smiled at me fondly and slowly pulled me to him by placing his arms around my waist. His movements were controlled and gentle as if giving me time and space.

"I don't know what made you think so but I know one thing for sure. You are mine just as I am yours. None can take you away from me, not even you yourself."

He then pulled me flush against him and kissed me gently but deeply. I was momentarily shocked and frozen and before I could come out from the shock my body was already reacting to him with the same gentleness and passion he is pouring into me. Our movements were slow and gentle conveying our love, nothing more than that. It was way different than the other kisses where he obviously showed his passion and love but those were more aggressive dominated and guided by him but this one was gentle and slow taking me along with him. He pulled back before the kiss could turn into something more and to be frank I am disappointed that he pulled back quickly.

He leaned his forehead on mine and his eyes looked at me with love.

"I really want to continue but I am afraid I won't be able to stop if we continue and we will be late for our engagement party which I don't mind but I am afraid our friends we will be waiting and you won't like that." His voice very gentle and in a whisper as if trying to soothe me even with his eyes.

"Don't ever make that face again Astrea." He said in a sad voice and I was momentarily shocked. Did I hurt him somehow without knowing myself? "It breaks my heart to see you sad and I don't know what to do if you cry." I nodded wordlessly touched by the honesty in his words and he was not afraid to show his love openly for me. He was willing to anything for me and to keep me happy.
