June's P.o.v

I was looking at the mirror a thousand times, I was nervous I didn't want to make a fool out of myself. Becky was wearing the baby pink gown we picked out the other day. She was looking at me with shock for a few minutes when she entered the room. I hope that shock was in a good kinda way.

Did you leave me and go shopping again? She asked sarcastically.

No!! I exclaimed.

Then what are you wearing? She asked pointing at my dress.

Um.Andrew..gave this! I said slowly.

Oh my God! He totally loves you! I knew it! She said with amusement.

What..!?! No..he doesn't! I replied instantly.

It's okay.. whatever you say! She said with a wink.

Are you done? Let's go now! I said.

Ohno! I am going on my date! She said smiling.

You are ditching me in this unknown land?!? I pouted.

Don't be a drama queen! She said laughing.

Andrew said you were going with him! She said as she was lining her eyes with a kajal.

Did he say that to you? I asked.

Yeah! she replied casually.

Okay.. who's your date again? I asked curiously.

Do you even have to ask? Becky asked sarcastically.

Hello girls! We heard Liam.

Liam? I asked with a huge grin.

Unfortunately! Becky complained.

Quit pouting, you know you secretly love me! Liam smirked.

I saw Becky's cheeks turn a little red for a second when he said that but then she became her normal self and gave a sarcastic glare at Liam.

Ah..see? what I am dealing with here!?! Becky whispered.

I can see it! I replied with a chuckle.

Bye! They both said in the chorus and went out of the room.

I was checking myself again in the mirror, then I heard a knock on the door but I remembered the door was already opened. I rushed to see who was it. I saw Andrew in his tuxedo. He looked really handsome. I smiled brightly. He came towards me and was looking at me seriously.

What?!? Is something there on my face? I asked.

Nothing, Uh..it's just .. You look really beautiful! he said with a smile.

Um.Thanks! I replied with a shy smile.

There is something missing! He said looking at me.

What?? I asked instantly.

You are missing the blush on your cheeks! He said with a smirk.

But I applied it.. just a minute back! I replied.

Alright! Give me a minute, I'll do a retouch! I said walking away.

Wait. He pulled me closer.

What? I asked.

He leaned towards me to give a small kiss on my cheeks. And then the warm fuzzy feeling was back again, my cheeks were beet red and I felt butterflies fluttering everywhere. I was looking at him without shifting my gaze.

I surprised him. The one thing about Andrew that was constant, he never fails to surprise me. He was standing there, smiling brightly.

There! It's back again! Andrew smirked.

I smiled. Trying hard not to get carried away by him. But it was really hard, he was so irresistible.

Shall we? He offered his hand.

I took his hand and smiled at him. He reflected my smile back.

You don't have to do this you know? I am not your real girlfriend! I said as I held his hands.

You'll never know! He smirked and intertwined my hands into his.

I was again caught off guard by his reply, but I decided to go with the flow and smiled at him.

The party was held in the ballroom. Yes, the Mitchell's had a separate ballroom. The decoration was elegantly done. I saw people were dressed formally. Most of the people were Andrew's dad's guests. The party was overwhelming. I could see everyone in that room were filthy rich. Suddenly I felt like the odd one out. There was a huge crowd in the ballroom. As we entered into the room many people came rushing towards us. Andrew caught my hand. I loved it when he was all protective. Andrew was like a celebrity in there. Many people came up to us and talked about random stuff. He introduced me to them and they were really warm and welcoming. I met some of Andrew's cousins. The waiter offered us champagne. I extended my hands to take a glass but then Andrew caught my hand.

Uh Uh..no no! He said pulling me back.

What? I could use a drink! I said with a smirk.

As much as I would love to see a drunk June! It's not a good idea, Love! He said seriously.

Fine! Just so you know.. You are ruining all the fun! I complained.

The party has just started, Love! I'll show you a great time! He said with a smirk.

Where are Becky and Liam? I asked remembering I hadn't seen them since I left my room.

I don't know! He said looking for them.

Attention everyone, I am glad to welcome you all to Mitchell's residence. I have organized this party because my son had come home for a long time. We have organized a small dance so please grab a partner and join us on the dance floor. Please enjoy yourselves, everyone.

We heard Andrew's Dad.

Dance? I asked Andrew.

Yeah, apparently so! He said with excitement.

Care to dance? He offered his hands.

Do I have a choice? I asked sarcastically.

I won't dare use that choice and miss a once in a lifetime opportunity if I were you! He said with a smirk and pulled me closer.

I rolled my eyes.

Haha..that's funny! I said sarcastically

He didn't say anything but gazes at me.

He brought me to the dance floor and there were a few couples dancing already. I wrapped my arms around Andrew's neck and moved in sync to the slow music. I looked really short near him. I could feel his hot breath in my ears. The fuzzy feeling came rushing from within and I placed my head on his chest. He held me closer. I was never so close to any guy before both emotionally and physically. As we were dancing I found Becky was in Liam's arms and they both were in their own zone. I was smiling with amusement. Andrew noticed my smile.

What's with the smiley face? Andrew asked looking at me.

Look over there! I pointed.

Yay! Biam is happening for real! He said smiling.

Uh..what!?! I asked confused.

It's my shipping name for them! he said laughing.

Ah..cute! I said with amusement.

Do you like it? I have some names for us too! He said looking into my eyes.

His words made my heart skip a beat.

What? Why? I asked shyly.

You know why! He whispered into my ears.

I didn't reply to him.

I just looked at him with a smile on my face. He looked at me seriously. The butterflies fluttering kinda feeling was constant when I was near him. I wondered for a second how I found such an amazing person. He was amazing indeed. He was very kind, he was funny, he knew how to make me smile when I was down, he was perfect. I couldn't find one reason to like him cause there were a million. I never thought my life could change this much in a short period of time. Seeing him happy made me happy. Seeing him sad made my heartache. I wasn't having some crush on him, I was hopelessly in love with Andrew. As much it was difficult to accept my feelings for him. It was easier this way. At least I didn't have to convince myself that it is some sort of crush and it would whither off if I stay away from him. It wasn't and my feelings for him were crystal clear.

What are you thinking? He asked shaking me out my thoughts.

Uh.Nothing! I replied instantly.

That was all I managed to say.

Really? Then why are smiling like crazy? He teased.

I am just glad to be here with you. I said with a small smile.

When he heard me, I saw his face light up.

Well, that feeling is mutual! He said gazing.

He was leaning closer to me and our lips were inches apart. I felt his warm breath on me. The smell of his cologne was intoxicating. Suddenly millions of butterflies were fluttering inside my stomach. The music, the environment was perfectly romantic. My cheeks were already red they grew even darker as he was close to me. I could stay there with him like that for the rest of my life. I closed my eyes realising what was about to happen next. He was about to kiss me, but then we heard the music change into rock music. We both were startled and that was a total mood killer I thought.

He looked at me for a few seconds and then we both broke into laughter.

Who? Who did that? I asked laughing.

I don't know but that guy definitely deserves a punch! He said with a smirk.

I smiled shyly at his comment.

Andrew P.o.v

Wow! That was a mood killer, I thought. What?! What just happened? I almost kissed June. I need to be careful but why? It felt so right to be with her. But why wasn't she surprised nor offended? Did she like me too? Actually wait. Do I like her? Of course, you do you, idiot! My mind screamed at me. But I thought I got over the silly crush I had on her since the first day I saw her. Was is it even a crush? I was so confused all of a sudden. I realized I was looking straight into her eyes and it felt real. I never felt such a strong feeling not even for Emma. What was going on with me? Was I falling in.. Love with June? Is it even possible to fall in love again? I thought.

Suddenly I noticed the most amazing thing, June was laughing, seeing her like that made me laugh with her.

Who? Who did that? she asked laughing.

I don't know but that guy definitely deserves a punch! I said with a smirk.

She smiled and her cheeks turned beet red.

Being with her felt perfect. I just wanted to be with her always. Why were we even in a different college? I wish I could see her daily and spend my whole day talking to her. It sucked that we only had weekend classes together. I wonder what would have happened if Liam hadn't t pushed me into registering my name for the inter-college meet in June's college. I wouldn't have met such an amazing person. I would not smile as I smiled now. June has become an important part of my life. I wonder how I got really closer to her in a short while and how her smiles brighten my day, and when she was sad my day just gets worse. I remembered the time, how it killed me when she wasn't talking to me. I realized that I was in deep trouble. I had fallen for June without even realizing it. The mere thought of realizing I loved her made me happy. I wanted to tell her. I wanted to tell the whole world how happy I was. But not just yet, I 'll wait for the perfect moment. I want it to be perfect just like her.

Hello? Are even you here? June asked.

Uh.Yeah. I just got lost thoughts! I said with a smile.

What were you thinking about? she asked suddenly.

About you! I replied instantly.

She just smiled.

Hey you guys? I hope I am not interrupting anything! We head Becky.

Uh..ofcouse not! June said moving away from me.

I caught her hands and pulled her closer. Becky was smirking at June as she noticed that.

Andrew, your mom was looking for you! Becky said.

Alright. I'll be back! I said looking at June.

She nodded in response.

I was searching for mum and I finally found her near the stairs along with dad. As I walked closer, I saw some familiar faces. I was stunned when I recognized them it was Mr&Mrs Thorne, they were Emma's parents and I noticed Emma's sister Sharon was also with them. I was looking at them with a shocking expression.

My dad noticed me and he called me.

Come, Andrew! Meet our special guests! He said.

I was horrified, all the things that I wanted to forget were again came rushing before me.
