BIRTHDAY PARTY

Raven was standing at the doorstep as she fiddled with her fingers as her foot was tapping .

gathering all her courage she rang the doorbell and waited.

"woah finally you arrived!!" Alex said cheerfully as Raven passed a adorable smile.

"come on ".

Raven followed Alex. to the living room as he cut the cake.

The party was going good untill mark , one of his friend suggested to play truth or dare.

Raven was sitting near Alex and Sia , his sister . The bottle spun as it pointed on Raven .

"I choose dare " Raven replied with a smug smile .

"we'll your dare is to ....."

the game went on as raven started to feel a bit dizzy so she decided to go to the terrace to get some fresh air.

she leaned on the trail as closed her eyes feeling the fresh air hit her skin.

after minutes of comfortable silence raven opened her eyes as she noticed Alex was staring at her .

"you scared me "

Raven hit his arm as he chuckled.

"umm, raven?"

"mm"

Raven turned to Alex as he took Raven's hands in his.

"there this thing which I wanted to tell you from the day I saw you , I've been crushing on you over months but you were too dumb to notice this idiot , I can't wait any longer "

Raven just stared at him blankly unable to process what he said .

he knelt down as he took out a ring

"I love you , will you be my girlfriend?"

what was Raven supposed to feel now , a tint of goosebumps roamed through her body as her heart raced a marathon , her eyes weren't blinking thinking if she close her eye she will wake up again and everything would have been a dream , her fingers grabbed the hem of the dress tightly as she immediately knelt down with Alex .

"I love you too"

and with that Alex slid the ring on to her finger .

their eyes never leaving each other as they didn't know the distance between them was decreasing each second . His warm breath fanned again her lips as they parted . their souls were inches apart when the loud sound of ringtone made them jump and move away.

Alex attended the call as he seemed a little tensed after hearing the caller.

"Raven , I've got some emergency , I had to leave "

"that's fine take care "

Alex rushed out as raven hid her face with her palms being flustered enough .she ran down to the living room and joined the others.
