"I love you."

"I love you too lame ass."

♡♡

"So tell me what happened yesterday." Melissa said as we prepared lunch in the kitchen. She slept through whole morning. Luckily today we both had the same lecture so she would just ask me for notes.

"That letter prank that Max played on me, the last letter in it was from Trevor."

"You knew about that letter, didn't you?" I asked her when I put two and two together as she preferred to remain silent.

"Ofcourse I knew, we all knew that. Max and Trevor, they both have different handwritings and Max would never write that to you. I agree he is a prankster but he doesn't play with feelings like this." she said.

"What you mean by that?"

"Okay well, I guess I can talk to you about it now."

"What? Talk about what?"

"Trevor and Max had a small fight about you. Trevor warned Max not to write all this."

"Wow. I am getting to know this now. What happened later?"

"Max told to him it was a prank, they both got together. Later Trevor wrote a letter and told Max to share that letter with you just how he did with other letters."

"Then?"

"Trevor wanted to know that if it was just a prank or there really was something between you two."

"You better be ready to die." I yelled at her. "What happened next?"

"You said no."

"Yea I know that. What happened after that?" I asked her.

"It was confirmed that it was just a prank and then they both became friends again." she said as she arranged our lunch in plates.

"Take it." she said and handed me my plate as we walked in living room and sat on sofa eating our lunch while watching something on television.

Ding ding. The doorbell rang. "Can you open it?" Melissa asked me. "No, look I am eating." I said and quickly stuffed my mouth with food. "Well okay, it seems I am the only one over here available to open door twenty four into seven." Melissa said as she rolled her eyes and stood up to open the door.

"Hi." he said. I nearly choked on my food as I heard Trevor's voice.

"Looks like you two need some alone time." Melissa said as she walked towards kitchen.

"Hmm no, you can stay." Trevor said.

"Huh?" Melissa stood at one place.

"I mean it's upto you, afterall, this is your house Melissa." Trevor said as he looked at me.

"I think I'll just go outside, anyways I need to go and jog." Melissa said as she looked at me.

"Jog? Right now? It's 3pm and you are eating your lunch." Trevor said in low voice.

"Yea, I am not actually hungry. I'll eat it later." Melissa said as she walked out of the apartment along with her keys, faster than Usain Bolt. Okay, not faster than Usain Bolt but I hope you understood what I meant.

"I am sorry about yesterday. What I did was so wrong." he said as he walked towards me.

"Yea right." I said but from inside, only I knew what I was feeling the other day.

"I wasn't supposed to be so unreasonable, it just happened." he said.

"Yea totally." I said, once again while trying to hide what I was feeling yesterday.

"Aren't you going to say something?" he asked me.

"Why should I?" I asked as I maintained emotionless face.

"I thought you were going to." he said as he stared at me.

"Just because I love you doesn't mean I will do mindless things that too out in public." I yelled at him.

"What? Can you repeat it?" he asked as he tried to move towards me but my angry stare made him stop where he was.

"I can control my emotions in much better way than you." I said as I looked emotionless at him.

"Well okay, here it goes." he said as he took deep breath.

"I love you." he said as he walked near me. I nodded at him.

"Shouldn't you say something now?" he raised his eyebrow.

"No." I said as he looked at me confused.

"Here I go." I said after few seconds as I took a deep breath.

"I love you too lame ass." I smiled at him.

"What took you so many years to say this?" I asked him as he came and sat besides me.

"Your beautiful smile." he said as he poked my nose.

"Ugh stop using this cheesy lines, this is the reason why I never dated anyone in high school." I said as he removed his fingers from my nose.

"Okay boss." he said.

"I never said no to poking."

"Oh got it." he said as he again poked my nose.

"But seriously what took you so long?" I asked as I looked at him.

"Why you rejected me infront of everyone?" he asked as he looked at me.

"I promise to answer it on one condition, you will have to tell me what was going on in your absurd little mind yesterday." I whispered.

"You go first." I said as I looked at him.

"That beautiful smile of yours and how you used to be, I thought I never had chance with you." he said as he looked down and played with his fingers.

"What made you think that? Weren't we always friends?"

"Exactly. You friend zoned me and besides that I used to think that Max and you had something." he said as he looked back at me again.

"Why did you said no?" He asked after a short pause.

"That's true you were a friend for most of the part until you said you and Ron were going to London. It hurted to knew someone so close to me was going so far." I said and took a deep breath as his eyes fixed on me.

"Then it all started but I thought I would probably never get a chance and I always thought you probably had some girlfriend until everything, every stone on the path started to connect, when I got to knew you were single."

"How? How did the stones connected?" He whispered.

"I can read lips." I shrugged.

"Well I think, guessing and actually reading are two different things." he said as I stared him for way too long, I assumed.

"Well continue." he said as he looked down.

"Ron whispered to Kate during that game what you felt about me. As you said, I thought I read it wrong but here you are proving me right." I shrugged.

"I must say my girlfriend is smart." he half smiled as he tilted his head as we brought our face closer.

"I am sorry. I thought he was gone." Melissa said as I pushed him away. We were literally going to do it but Melissa had to come right now, exactly at this moment.

"I rang the doorbell but no one opened it so I thought you both weren't at home." Melissa reasoned herself as Trevor glared at her and I giggled.

"Wanna go outside?" Trevor asked to me as he blushed brightest shade of red followed by me doing the same.

"Yes." I said as I thought to myself how we had an almost kiss and how relationships can not be changed overnight and yet can be changed overnight as I slowly processed what happened with me in past week.
