Felicitous Memories XX

"Like that guy really thought that he was doing something there" said Lia as she laughed and she drank her coffee.

"And then I told the guy that hey, my daddy has an even bigger car, so he should just run along" said Lia as she was talking to Natasha who didn't seem to be paying attention to her at all.

"Isn't that funny?" asked Lia as she laughed and she looked at Natasha who was staring at her cup of tea.

"Hey sweetie, are you listening to me??" asked Lia as she called out to Natasha and Natasha snapped out of her thoughts.

"What?" asked Natasha as she looked at Lia.

"I said, isn't that funny?" asked Lia again.

"Yeah… it is" replied Natasha.

"You are not listening to me Natasha" said Lia with a frown.

"No… I am" replied Natasha.

"Alright, what was I talking about?" asked Lia.

"A guy" replied Natasha.

"Hey Natasha, how many fingers am I holding up?" asked Lia as she held up two fingers.

"Two" replied Natasha.

"Can I move in with you and Dom?" asked Lia.

"Sure…" replied Natasha as she was absent minded.

"You are definitely not listening to me, alright, let's be serious now, what's wrong Natasha?" asked Lia as she looked at Natasha wit worry as Natasha looked at her.

"There is nothing wrong Lia" said Natasha.

"Oh please Natasha, don't lie to me, I know you, what are you thinking about so much that you can't pay attention to me?" asked Lia as Natasha shook her head.

"It's nothing Lia really" said Natasha as she stirred her tea with a spoon.

"Oh and pigs can fly, come on Natasha I know you, and you must have something very serious bothering you for you to act like this" said Lia.

"Don't you trust me?" asked Lia.

"I do trust you Lia, you know that" said Natasha.

"Then tell me what's wrong, they say that a problem shared it a problem half solved, besides, we are like sisters, we don't hide anything from each other now do we?" asked Lia as she smiled.

"We don't…" said Natasha.

"Then tell me what's wrong" said Lia as she smiled and Natasha took a deep breath.

"Hmm let's see, is it your dad?" asked Lia as Natasha shook her head.

"Grandfather?" asked Lia as Natasha shook her head.

"Dom?" asked Lia and Natasha stayed still.

"It is Dom" said Lia as Natasha nodded her head.

"What's wrong? Did you two have a fight or what?" asked Lia.

"No we didn't have a fight everything is fine actually" said Natasha.

"Then what is it?" asked Lia.

"Oh Lia I don't know… it's… I'm confused" said Natasha.

"Confused how?" asked Lia.

"Alright Lia, have you ever had a crush on someone?" asked Natasha.

"Oh many times sweetie, people have crushes on me all the time, I love breaking their hearts, it's cute" said Lia as she laughed.

"I'm being serious here Lia" said Natasha.

"Okay, okay, I'll be serious" said Lia as she nodded her head.

"How do you know that you have a crush on someone?" asked Natasha.

"Well it's easy actually, getting flustered whenever they're around, a bit of nervousness here and there, wishing that they notice you, blah, blah and so on, but it's much deeper than that, if your feelings are deeper than that then it's probably love" replied Lia as she sipped her coffee.

"I see" said Natasha as she seemed to be thinking.

"Wait why are you asking all of a sudden sweetie? Don't tell me that… *gasp*…" said Lia as she gasped.

"Yes Lia, I think that I have feelings for Dom" said Natasha as she sighed and she shook her head.

"Oh sweetie… I don't know what to say actually…" said Lia as she took a pause.

"But I mean, I of course have to be happy, you have never had feelings for anyone before, I was actually starting to get a little worried, but nevertheless it finally happened" said Lia as she laughed.

"Oh don't play with me Lia, this is something very serious" said Natasha as she shook her head.

"Alright, alright, so when did you start catching feelings for Dom?" asked Lia as she smiled.

"I don't know… and that's what scares me, I don't even know… but for the past few days, I've just been so weird around him it's… alarming" said Natasha.

"Oh sweetie, of course you know, okay, let's see… what do you think made you fall for him?" asked Lia.

"I don't know Lia…. He's just so nice, so sweet so kind to me, I don't know when I started to see him differently and oh I hate myself for it" said Natasha as she groaned, she didn't want things to be weird.

"Don't hate yourself sweetie, it's not like you can control these things and you are right, Dom is so sweet, you would have to be crazy not to fall for him" said Lia as she laughed.

"You think so?" asked Natasha.

"I know so" said Lia.

"Well this is horrible, I don't want thinks to be weird between the both of us" said Natasha.

"Well sweetie, do you know if he likes you in that way as well?" asked Lia.

"Well I'm not sure, but I doubt it, we are just friends, and I don't want to be the one to ruin that friendship" said Natasha.

"Well do you want my honest opinion sweetie?" asked Lia as Natasha nodded her head.

"You need to tell him how you feel" said Lia.

"What no, I can't do that, no way" said Natasha as she shook her head.

"Oh but you have to sweetie, hiding your feelings away will do nothing but hurt you, and you know that I am all for being forward, you can't keep on denying your feelings, it will only make things weird, you need to tell him how you feel" said Lia.

"And what if he doesn't feel the same, then I would have ruined the good relationship that we had" said Natasha as she sighed.

"And what if he feels the same?" asked Lia.

"No I know Dom, and if he feels something, I think he will show it…" said Natasha.

"So you want to hide these feelings of yours?" asked Lia.

"Hide them, lock them in a box and throw them into the sea, they will probably die there" said Natasha.

"A word of advice to you sweetie, if you really love someone, your feelings will never die, trust me" said Lia as Natasha sighed, that made her feel even worse.

"I can't tell him Lia, I can't" said Natasha as she sighed.

"Well whatever you say sweetie, just know that I support you in anything you do, and if you want to tell him, you can count on me, and if you don't want to tell him, it's fine by me" said Lia as she smiled.

"Thank you Lia" said Natasha as she smiled, she always knew that she could count on Lia.

"Anytime sweetie, anytime" said Lia as she smiled.

…

Natasha sighed as she played with her food as Dom looked at her, she had been acting weird all day.

"Alright Natasha, what's wrong, you have something on your mind" said Dom as he looked at her.

"is it that obvious?" asked Natasha.

"You know that you can't hide your emotions, so tell me what's wrong" said Dom as he smiled.

"And don't you dare tell me that it's nothing, because we both know that it's something" said Dom as he smiled.

"Well, a friend of mine, she's in love with one of her friends, her feelings just developed for him, and well she asked me for advice, she wants to know if she should tell her friend that she likes him or not, and well I'm not really good at this things" said Natasha as she decided to lie a little.

"Ahh that's a tough one" said Dom.

"How so?" asked Natasha.

"Well I mean, your friends has to first find out if her friend likes her in that way, or else, it could ruin their entire friendship, it's important that she knows if her friend feels the same for her or not" said Dom.

"And what if he doesn't feel the same for her?" asked Natasha.

"Well then that's going to be complicated, unrequited feelings are tough" said Dom.

"I think she should find out from one of the guy's friend if he likes her" said Dom.

"And if he doesn't like her, I don't think that she should push it, human feelings are complicated" said Dom.

"I agree" said Natasha.

"Is that all that's worrying you?" asked Dom as Natasha nodded and Dom laughed at her.

"Well you really must like your friend for her love problems to bother you so much" said Dom as he laughed and Natasha laughed.

"Yes" she said with a smile.

"So how was going out with Lia?" asked Dom.

"Oh good, we were together for a while till Lia had to go" said Natasha as she smiled.

"That's nice" said Dom as he smiled and he stood up from the dining table as he held his plates in his hand.

"I have dishes to do, thanks to you" said Dom as Natasha laughed.

"Oh don't complain we made a deal, a fair deal Dom" said Natasha as she laughed and Dom shook his head as he walked out of the dining room and Natasha sighed and she shook her head, she couldn't tell Dom anything at all.

…

Lia dialed a number as she put her phone to her ear and her call was picked almost instantly.

"Hey Lia" came Nine voice from the other side of the line.

"Hey Nine, okay, I need to talk to you, can we meet?" asked Lia.

"Sure where are you?" asked Nine.

"I'm on my way home, we can talk there" said Lia.

"Alright" said Nine.

"But first Nine, I need you to tell me something very important" said Lia.

"Okay?" asked Nine.

"Does Dom talk about Natasha to you guys?" asked Lia.

"Yes he does" said Nine.

"Just like he would talk about you" said Nine.

"Nine I have another very important question, does Dom like Natasha, and I mean in another way?" asked Lia.

"I'm not sure about that Lia" said Nine.

"Oh you are sure, he tells you everything" said Lia.

"Lia, what's with all the questions?" asked Nine.

"I will tell you when I see you, bye" said Lia as she ended the call and Nine sighed as he shook his head.

"Who was that?" asked Charlie as he walked into the room.

"Lia, she wants to see me and she doesn't sound happy at all" said Nine.

"Well good luck with that Nine, you will need it, you know how Lia" said Charlie as he laughed and Nine sighed deeply.
