Hey lovely readers... Here's the long waited updated :) Hope you like it :)

***************

The bright rays of the morning sun pushed aside the darkness of the previous night. John was the first person to break his deep slumber, unlike the other days. He came out of his room and was quite puzzled to find the house silent. Usually, the sounds of cluttering utensils from the kitchen; the melodious laughter of Alica and Peter's loud banter would be heard which was absent today. He found it strange. Scratching his short dark black hair, he wondered 'Where did they go? Why is it so quiet today'.

He went over to David's room which was next door, deciding to check on him. He knocked on the door several times and stood tapping his legs impatiently, as he waited for David to open the door. John lost his patience waiting for a long time. He pounded on the door and called his name, several times.

"Wake up, Dave. It's almost 9 in the morning. Come on, push your lazy ass off your bed," yelled Joe through the tiny keyhole.

Angelina stirred in her sleep. She heard faint noises of someone calling Dave. She brushed it aside, assuming it to be a dream and continued her beauty sleep pulling up the duvet till her neck. She smiled contently, nuzzling into the pillow, cosily. She shot up and sat upright on her bed, when she heard the loud bang on her door. Clumsily, she untangled herself from the thick duvet and rushed to open the door, when she realized it wasn't a dream.

Rubbing the sleep off her eyes, she opened the door only to witness a fuming Joe. He was ready to pounce on the person the moment the door opened. Without wasting a second and not sparing a glance at the person in front of him, Joe pounced on Angel and was ready to hit her. Due to the sudden impact, Angel stumbled backward and fell down, pulling Joe along with her. Angel fell on the floor with Joe on top of her. Peter and Alica had barged in, hearing the commotion. They both had confused looks, looking at Angel and Joe. John was baffled to see Angel in David's room. His thick black eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Angel pushed Joe off her and uttered, "Gosh! Joe, why are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait for a minute till I open the door?"

Joe stood up, confusion still etched in his face. Angel too got up adjusting her crumpled dress. Peter and Alica burst out laughing clutching their stomachs. Angel and Joe snapped their heads towards them. John joined the duo in laughing and soon the three friends' laughter echoed throughout the corridor while Angel stood glaring at them, with her hands on her hips.

"Lo... loo.... look at youu Angel,"Alica was the first to talk in between her laughter.

Peter took out his phone and captured the moment and burst out laughing again saying, "What a pleasant sight, Angel."

John was still laughing hard sitting on the floor clutching his stomach, as he couldn't control. Angel stomped her foot and turned back to have a look in the mirror. The instant she saw her reflection, she too burst out laughing looking at her messy auburn bed hair that was worse than a bird's nest; her smudged eye liner that had made various black patterns on her cheeks and the visible little drool that had dried up at the corner of her plump rosy lips.

The laughter of the gang died down and Angel knotted her messy hair to a bun and wiped off the drool from her face. The black patterns still remained though, as she couldn't wipe it.

John raised a single brow in curiosity and rubbing his index finger over his subtle beard he enquired Angel with a mischievious glint in his eyes, "What are you doing here Angel? Did you sleep in here with him?"

He winked at Angel and Peter giggled hearing this earning a tight smack on their heads from the girls. Before Angel could respond, she was interrupted by Ali's sweet voice.

"Someone has missed the cute romantic scene,"Ali chirped in a sing a song way.

Angel glared at her which clearly said you-too-Ali. Ali smiled sheepishly displaying her cute dimples on both her cheeks.

"What scene? From which romantic movie was it?," John asked innocently as he didn't have any clue of what happened the previous night.

Peter laughed out loud. After a good minute of laughing Peter closed his mouth and tried to refrain from laughing again. Angel rolled her eyes while John looked at her, like she had gone mad.

"That isn't so funny, Pete. Try to be a little logical next time,"Angel snapped, sarcasm coating her words.

Alica smirked patting Angel on her back, "Don't be mad, sweetie pie. We were just trying to make our poor Joe baby understand things."

"Do not call me baby, Ali. I might strangle you to death,"John threatened, taking a menacing step towards her.

Peter barged in the conversation, "Chill dude! She will make you pay for it later. You know that,"Peter winked, grinning wide.

John sighed, knowing Peter was right. Peter took a few steps towards Angel, towering over her 5.2' ft. He wound his arms around her and maintaining a serious face whispered, "I've never seen such a romantic scene even in hollywood movies,"he stated.

Ali elbowed Peter's well chiseled chest, stopping him from spilling anything further. Peter fake coughed and rubbing his hands over the area where she hit, he stated, "Ouch! That hurts, powergirl."

He ruffled Angel's hair which was his favorite thing to do and asked her, "Can I wake Dave, now?"

She swiftly shook her head in negative and asked, "How do you what happened after you left?"

Peter neared Angel and locking a strand of hair behind her ear, said, "Later. Now, go brush your teeth and have a bath," and scrunching his nose, "You stink!"

Angel whacked him with a pillow which was within her reach while the rest chuckled.

John interrupted, "Guys, at least tell me. I'm curious to know."

Alica caught hold of his toned muscular arms and told, "Later, we will show you the picture, baby. Now come let's get ready,"dragging him out of the room.

Angel's eyes widened and she gasped hearing the words Ali just let out. Peter pushed her inside the bathroom and shouted, "Don't daydream about Dave! Get ready soon."

Angel kicked the door while Peter chuckled at her childishness. Peter went to his room and got ready in his brown capri pants and a crisp yellow v-neck t-shirt. Ali looked pretty as usual in her white half sleeve shirt paired up with her favourite black pants while Angel wore her blue shorts and turquoise coloured t-shirt that enhanced her beauty. John was arranging the dishes on the table which he had prepared. He was in his blue short pants and white sleevless t-shirt.

Peter, Alica and John sat in their respective sides. Peter was admiring the funny expressions Alica's face expressed while playing angry birds whereas John was busy checking his mails. Angelina joined them after a while. She pulled out the chair and sat comfortably near John. She cleared her throat and drummed her fingers on the table, to gain Ali and Pete's attention. They turned their attention to Angel who had a questioning look. Understanding what she meant, Ali explained that they were watching them from the corridors, in front of their bedroom.

John was getting annoyed as they hadn't said what actually happened. Noticing the frown lines that had appeared on John's forehead and his annoyed look, Peter narrated what had happened. Ali secretly showed the picture that she had taken in her mobile. John aawed at the picture and the other two hooted. Angel tried to have a look at the picture and reached for the phone, but to her dismay John pulled away and stuck his tongue out. They all started teasing her and John was mimicking David. Angel blushed deep and tried to catch hold of the mobile phone, while Joe got up from his chair and started running around with Angel chasing behind.

Peter and Ali were watching a live Tom and Jerry show and laughing their hearts out. Even after a long struggle Angel couldn't catch him. She plopped down on the couch, crossing her arms across her chest, pouting. John tittered and came near her. He patted her head and handed the mobile to her. She blushed crimson red looking at the pictures where she and Dave were hugging.

David who was in a peaceful sleep so far, woke up from his sleep and observed his friends from the corridor. A small smile crept up his manly face when he looked at Angel who was blushing seeing something in the mobile. He saw John sitting near her and chuckling while Peter and Alica were grinning wide looking at them. All the while Peter had his arms around Ali's shoulder. He greeted them from his bedroom corridor and flashed his sexy smile which created dimples in his cheek, his hair disheveled because of his sleep.

Peter yelled, "Hey loverboy, come down soon. We are waiting for you. I'm going to eat you, if you don't come on time."

John joined them at the table and nodded patting his tummy, "Yeah man. I'm damn hungry."

David replied, "I'll be down in a jiffy. You guys start eating,"and rushed to his room, not before glancing at Angel.

Angel was still blushing and she sat down quiet and shy. The others noted Dave's glance except Angel who was lost in the previous night's thoughts. The other three smiled and shook their head. They waited for David to join them. In a while, Dave joined them looking dashing in his cream coloured shirt and blue denims. They had their breakfast, teasing and laughing.

David was back to his usual self. He had gone out for some work while the others sat in the garden passing their time. Boredom was killing them as they didn't have any work to do.

"It's so boring here. We need to go somewhere. We can't spend the rest of the vacation like this,"uttered Peter running his fingers through his spiked up short hair.

"Yes, Pete. I wish we could go to Snowville. It'll be so amazing,"agreed John.

"But how can we go without Dave? He's not ready to come and Angel won't come if he doesn't,"piped in Alica knitting her brows in worry.

"He looks perfectly fine now, Ali. I guess he'll come if we ask him again,"Peter replied locking his golden brown orbs with her brownish black orbs.

"He'll come for sure guys,"said a confident John, with a smirk plastered on his face.

"How are you so sure of that, Joe?," enquired Ali who had a surprised look.

"Because we have a person who can convince him,"winked John and turned his attention to Angelina.

Peter and Alica too averted their gazes to her. Angelina who was silently listening to their conversation so far, turned to face them, shocked.

Angel shook her head vigorously saying, "No no no, I'm sorry guys. I can't do that. Don't look at me."

The other three had their puppy dog faces, which always worked with Angel and pleaded her, "Oh please, Angel. If you call him he'll come for sure. Please, please, please. Pretty please."

Angel stated, "But guys, you know I won't do anything against his wish and I won't force him to do anything that he doesn't wish to."

"Oh my dear, we know that and we are not saying you to force him. Just try asking him again for our sake. Please,"pleaded John, again.

Angel sighed in defeat looking at their baby faces and agreed to have a talk with David. They all squealed in joy like little kids who had won chocolates. As the evening clouds dimmed the bright daylight, they went inside their house. The five friends plopped on the couch and spoke about some random topics. David had returned home and joined them.

Looking at David, they signalled Angel to ask him. She shook her head in refusal as she was still in two minds. They glared at her and went to the kitchen for preparing dinner leaving Angel and Dave alone. An awkward silence prevailed. Angel was tapping her foot in nervousness and Dave was thinking what to talk.

Angel broke the silence, "How do you feel now, Dave?"

Dave flashed his cute smile, "Feeling great, Angel. Thanks to you."

Angel smiled and nodded her head. She got up from the couch to leave, but was stopped by Dave. He held her wrist and made her sit back on the couch. He interlaced their fingers and she raised her thin and perfectly trimmed eyebrows questioning him.

David whispered in her ears, "Why did you leave me? I thought you would sleep with me. I was disappointed to find the other side of the bed empty in the morning."

Angel stuttered due to his closeness, "I... uhmm... I..." Words failed to spill and she sat there numb, lost in his eyes.

Dave chuckled looking at her dazed state. Angel came out of her trance and rushed to the kitchen, blushing.

Alica noticed her and asked, "Did you ask him?"

Angel replied a 'no'looking down at the floor. John groaned and Peter sighed.

Peter, "Why didn't you ask him, Angel?"

"I... I don't know. Will ask him during our dinner,"stammered Angel.

John patted her head, "Relax baby. He's not going to eat you."

Alica dragged her to the dinner table, "Let's have dinner. And I know the reason behind your blush,"She winked at her.

Angel playfully hit her shoulder. The guys joined them and while having dinner, Peter cleared his throat and motioned Angel to ask Dave. Angel was pleading a no through her eyes. John kicked her legs, under the table while she glared at him and Ali chuckled looking at them. Dave who was observing everything, was confused at their weird behaviour.

Dave enquired, "What's going on guys? What's wrong?"

Before anyone could open their mouth, Angel hurriedly replied, "Nothing Dave. Eat and rest soon."

John interrupted, "Dave, she's lying. She wanted to ask you something."

Angel pinched his arm and he giggled.

Dave looked at her, "What is it Angel?"

Angel replied, "Hey it's nothing. He's just playing Dave."

Peter, Ali and John had their dinner quick and went to the kitchen leaving them alone.

Peter asked Ali frustrated, "Why is she not asking, Ali?"

"I don't know, Pete," sighed Ali.

Just then Angel entered and Peter asked her, "Did you ask?"

Angel sadly bobbed her head 'no'.

"Gosh! Angel, is this really you? Where is our bold Angel?,"questioned John.

Seeing Dave coming to the kitchen, they told her not to miss this chance and went out.

After cleaning the dishes, Dave asked Angel, "What's going on Angel? You all were talking something. But seeing me you stopped and they left."

"It's nothing, Dave."

"I know you are lying. So spill out."

Angel stammered, "Can I... umm... ask you something?"

"Sure Angel. You can always ask whatever you feel."

"But you shouldn't get angry."

"Come on dear. How will I be angry with my cutie pie?," he winked at her.

Angelina didn't have the guts to look at his face. She lowered her head and told, "Hmm... The thing is that, will you come for the trip? Our friends want you to come. And also you will be relaxed."

A strange silence broke out between them. She lifted her head and looking at his eyes, "Sorry Dave, I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't want to ask this, but they made me. I'm so sorry."

David looked at her and placing both his hands on her shoulder,"Angel, please don't ask sorry. I'm the one who should be sorry. It was my mistake. I shouldn't have said that. Don't worry. I'll come."

Angelina was so happy. She smiled happily and thanked him, hugging him.

"And Angel, you said, it's our friends' wish, is it not your wish? Don't you want me to come?," David pouted.

"Oh, no no it's not like that. I didn't know how to talk about this. I didn't want to ask what you don't like. That's why I was blabbering. More than others I'll be happy if you come."

"Cool down Angel. I was just kidding. I know about you. Now smile."

Both of them went out of the kitchen and the other three were eager to know the result. Their faces dropped when they saw Angel's stern face.

Looking at Angel and throwing his arms around her shoulders, David asked, "So, when are we leaving? "

The rest shouted in joy and danced merrily. David and Angel looking at each other, smiled happily. That night they all decided the place for their trip, purchased the required materials and packed their baggage. All slept happily, looking forward for the next day's trip.
