Love Unfolding 21 Be With You

"Hey guys, the end of semester is right in the corner. Do you have plans for a week vacation or something?" Donna asked.

"Nah, I'm staying home. I have four siblings to take care of." Rina answered.

"You sounded like you already have a plan Donna." Andy said.

Donna sneered. "Tsk, you know me too well."

Andy just stuck out her tongue.

"My brother decided to tag me along to one of his trips so… that's it." Donna explained.

"Good for you then." Andy said. "I plan to visit Grandpa in Green City. Guess I'll get to eat ALL … his home baked cookies to myself this time." She stressed out the word ALL to tease Donna only to get a slap on her shoulder.

"Can I come with you?"

All three pair of astonished eyes were directed to Erika. Rina's portion of cake on her fork fell off without any of them noticing it. Donna's mouth gaped in awe.

Well, they shouldn't be reacting this way but… but given that they somehow already suspected something unnatural going on between the two so it can't be helped.

"Pardon?" Andy blindly asked.

"I'm asking if I can come with you in Green City. It's been a while since my last trip to somewhere anyway."

"Oh," Andy nodded blankly .

No one made another sound for a second.

"Hmmm, why in Green City?" Andy asked and turned to look back to Erika looking confused and seemed to still processing the idea.

"Huh?" Erika looked back with jaw dropped.

Donna choked while sipping her drinks. Rina had to hide her face behind her palms.

'The h.e.l.l Andy! Should you really have to embarra.s.s her like this?' Rina shouted in her thoughts.

Erika gulped as she stared at Andy. She can't think straight. How is she supposed to answer that?

'I want to be with you?' The h.e.l.l she would say that.

Erika averted her eyes. "If you don't want to, you could just say no." She answered with an annoyed voice.

Andy's brows arched. "No, I mean, you can."

Erika exhaled deeply then rose up to her feet. "I have to go. See you guys tomorrow," then she's off leaving Andy wondering,.

"Did I mess up?"

Rina turned her head sideways while smirking and resumed to eat a mouthful of cake.

"Ask yourself." Donna answered coldly.
