Enchanted Love

Clara kept her phone on speakers and cupped her cheeks listening to Edward and Alina’s fights. They didn’t even bother to tell Clara about the reason. Clara was asking them about the reason. But they are busy pointing at each other’s faults.

“He cheated me. ” Alina pouted and looked away from Edward’s side.

“She is expecting too much.” Edward threw up his hands in frustration. Clara felt it was too cute. They are fighting but they look so adorable all the time. Would she and Alex be like this in the future? The thought made her widen her eyes. Did she just think about it? Clara closed her eyes tightly and let her thoughts wash away.

“What’s the matter?” Clara asked, shrugging off her thoughts.

Edward and Alina started explaining the matter which happened in the morning.

Flashback: Morning.

Alina walked towards Edward in her light pink gown. She has done minimal makeup and looks like an angel.

“Eddy” she whispered near his ears but he is engrossed in sending some emails to his clients.

“Hmm” Edward replied without reiring to her side.

“Eddy” she whispered again

“Why are you blowing my ears? What’s your problem, Alina” Edward asked, frustrated still without taking his eyes from his mobile phone.

“Edward” Alina yelled, making him keep his phone aside. Edward stood up in front of her and was surprised to see her differently.

“Somebody is looking so cute today” Edward’s comment made her blush visibly. Alina sat beside him.

“Did you notice anything new?” Alina asked, lowering her eyelids. Edward looked confused.

“This dress? It’s beautiful. Moreover, you have used my favorite perfume. It smells like strawberry” he replied, inhaling the scent.

“You didn’t notice the difference then” Alina started in a harsh tone and that’s when he opened his eyes to see her anger avtar

Flashback ends.

Edward and Alina face opposite sides. Clara smiled a little.

“So? what was the difference?” asked Clara engrossed in their flashback.

“That’s what the problem was?” Edward is frustrated now.

“Doll, I have tried a new haircut. But Edward didn’t even care to check it” Alina is highly annoyed with his behavior.

“Is there any big matter for me to notice? How can I know all these things?” Edward asked as if he was begging for justice. Clara could do nothing but laugh at their words.

“If I can notice everything about you, why can’t you do that?” Alina asked, grabbing his collar.

“What have you noticed about me?” Edward crossed his arms. He cant lose in this argument.

“You shaved your beard last week and the side beard starts growing again. Today you wore the same coat with no match for the tie. You didn’t use your blue perfume today and also you didn’t even bathe with the same soap you used to bathe. And about your hairstyle, you have tried a new one today and you look dashing in this new hairstyle” said Alina in one go while Edward looked at her with their jaw open. How can she notice everything in him? Alina threw her phone on the bed ignoring Clara who was on the call.

“That’s amazing. How?” Edward is impressed with her effort. He even felt sad that he didn’t give much importance to all these small things.

Alina turned to leave the room. Clara was continuously consoling Alina without realizing that Alina had thrown the phone.

Edward pulled Alina from her backside and kissed her nape, suddenly making her calm down. Clara widened her eyes and hung up the call realizing the situation. These people are just crazy.

“Stop your drama. I won’t fall for it” Alina’s words were left in the middle when Edward kissed her lips making her blush harder.

“I am sorry” He mumbled in-between his kiss.

*******

Alex is lost in her expressions. He smiled, recalling how she was shocked by his confession. He is even shocked with himself as to how he proposed to her. He wanted to see her to know if she is feeling the same for him or not.

One thing is clear for him that Clara is the girl for him. He couldn’t think about anything other than her. If this is love, then yes, he loves her. He couldn’t see the future without her. If this is love, he loves her.

“Alex” his father’s voice pierced through the walls as Alex stood up lazily to meet his parents. What’s the new drama?

“Why are you shouting?” Alex asked in a bored tone as he stepped down the stairs.

“Did you plan anything for your future or else you are still sticking to those useless projects?” Frank was highly annoyed with his son’s ignorance.

“Why this sudden interrogation?” Alex asked as he sat across from his dad. Frank eyed his backside where his mom was standing there listening to their conversation. Alex rolled his eyes seeing his dramatic parents.

“Dad, you know that I am working on one project and I don’t like to work in an office like a machine. So please don’t ask me to join.” Alex rolled his eyes as if explaining his dad. Frank owns a big fashion house and his mom wants Alex to take over that.

His mom entered the room at the right timing alerting the boys.

“My son will listen to you and take care of our fashion house. Just give him some time” his mom commented, caressing Alex’s cheeks. She kissed his forehead and left to the kitchen to prepare coffee for both.

“Mom is too much. But your acting is amazing” Alex replied and both son and dad laughed at their fate.

“But on a serious note, I am tired of supporting you without your mom’s knowledge. She will be upset if she comes to know that I support you completely. So take a decision soon” Frank spoke on the final note. Alex just hugged his dad with a bored smile.

Alex and Frank are besties for a lifetime. And his mom is like the perfect woman for a family to worry about everything. Frank always wants his son to live his life to the fullest and doesn’t like to pressure him for anything. But his mom is worried for his future as always.

“Dad, if I say that I have chosen a girl for me, what would be your reaction?” Alex asked, smiling.

“I won’t think twice to throw you outside of my home” Frank replied instantly, making Alex cough. He didn’t expect this from his dad.

“Who is she by the way?” Frank asked with a small smile.

“I will make you both meet soon,” Alex promised and stood up to leave the place.

Clara twisted and turned to sleep but it’s just gone on vacation. She couldn’t get even an ounce of sleep despite having a tiring day. Whenever she closes her eyes, Alex’s words and his smirk come to her mind.

Clara took her assignments and started doing them so that she can divert her mind and soul.

At last, she felt tired and got back to her bed. She jerked up when she noticed Alex on her bed, winking at her.

“Are you thinking about me?” Alex asked casually as he pulled her to his side, startling her.

“What the hell are you doing here? Get out” Clara whispered and yelled at him panicking about the situation.

“Are you nervous?” Alex asked as he unlocked the hair from her forehead.

“Shut up and leave. If my dad sees you, he will just kill you” Clara yelled at him and stood up from his side.

“Maybe it’s the right time to meet my father in law. Will you call him for me?” Alex is not at all scared.

“I am not kidding. I will call him.” Clara threatened him but went in vain when he just smirked back.

“It’s Ron, right? Let me call him.” Saying so, Alex started calling him louder, making Clara widen her eyes.

He was shouting and Clara didn’t even wait for the next turn as she pulled him and kissed him over his lips suddenly. Both were startled by her action. Alex didn’t leave the opportunity as he gently pulled her towards him to finish the kiss so that he doesn’t regret later.

Clara opened her eyes and panicked and was shocked to realise that it’s just a dream. She looked around to see her empty room. Why does she have to dream like this? She gets scared to even feel that way. She doesn’t want to fall in love with anyone at this time.

“Nothing matters to me. That guy is not serious. He is just playing around. Clara, pull yourself and don’t fall for it” Clara slapped her cheeks and shrugged off her thoughts. But the kiss was so real that she couldn’t sleep.
