"Hey senorita!!" I saw B saying after he tapped Harisa's shoulder.
Harisa was backfacing him, and she looked so surprised when he did that. She turned around to see who was it. And B's face fell pale when he saw Harisa. He was so surprised that he was speechless. Harisa and I are of same height. So, I guess that's why he mistook her for me.
"Who are you?" I heard Harisa said to B, with rather anger in her voice.
"I'm sorry.. I thought you were Senorita, I mean De. I'm so sorry. I'm B by the way", B said apologetically.
"I don't care who you are. But don't mess up with me again", Harisa walked out of there after warning him.
I saw B looking after the way she left. He looked at there even after Harisa disappeared inside the house. It's as if his eyes were glued there.
"Hey!!" I shouted in front of him. He startled. Actually I had called B to get some groceries for the dinner that I'm going to cook for my family. Naomi has promised to help. She'll be here in the afternoon.
"Senorita!! What's wrong with you?" he complained with a frown.
"Nothing", I giggled and quickly added, "Who are you calling Senorita? How many times exactly do I need to tell you not to call me that?"
"Forget about that. You know what happened? I saw a girl and she looked like you, so...." he told me what happened in details.
"So what? You are starstrucked??" I asked narrowing my eyes as I took half of the groceries bag from him.
"No!! Just my face didn't work on her", he said sounding quite worried.
As soon as he realized that I had taken few bags from him, he took them back with a lot of force.
"You are a soon to be bride. You shouldn't be doing this things", he said as he gave his one of that reliving smiles. I love this smile of his. This smile has the ability to take away all your worries.
"Thank you", I smiled and walked inside the house with him.
"Soda?" I asked him as he placed all the groceries on the kitchen island.
"Yeah sure", he said as he washed his hands inside the sink.
I saw my friends and my sisters and my brothers coming down the stairs as I opened the refrigerator to take out a bottle of soda for him.
"Brother-in-law you are finally here!!" Jarin said as she got closer to him and handed him a towel.
He looked in between us in confusion. I was also taken back, I couldn't understand what was happening. I looked over at Mimma, she also was looking at B with excitement. But my brother and sisters somewhat looked confused too.
"Umm.... Jarin, what's happening?" I asked narrowing my eyes.
"Raidan's here, why didn't you call us?" She asked me.
"Where's Raidan?" I asked looking around.
"Him!!", Mimma, and Jarin said in unison.
Oh!! Now it makes sense. I walked in with B, so they thought him as Raidan. And that's why they are being like this. And Mason and Draya are confused because the face that they had seen is different now, that's why.
I chuckled. They all turned to look at me. Jarin had cornered B and so he was unable to leave. It's actually surprisingly how Jarin managed to corner B, given how tall he is.
"Jarin let him get out, he isn't Raidan", I somehow managed to stop smiling.
"You are lying. Don't worry I won't eat him up", she said with a wink.
"I don't mind even if you do", I shrugged.
"De..." I laughed once again when I heard the helplessness in B's voice.
I went closer to them and pushed Jarin aside. He slightly slided into my side.
"Guys let me introduce you. This is B. He's a member of the same club that I've joined, one of my best friends and Raidan's brot...." I was about to say brother but then I fixed it and said, "best friend".
Raidan had forbidden me to expose their relationship. And I choose to respect his wish.
"No wonder, he seemed so different than that day!!" Mason said.
"Of course I'm different. Look at me, blond hair, hazel eyes, pale skin.... I'm nothing like Raidan. Yeah we are of same height but his shoulder is much border than mine", he said in a childish way.
I couldn't help but laugh at the shoulder part. I mean can you believe how stupid he can be.... He's really cute though. They all looked at me as I had suddenly started laughing. I controlled myself.
"Sorry, I really shouldn't be laughing" a little pause then I said, "Cut the crap B".
"Sorry B. I really thought you were Raidan", Jarin said apologetically.
"Whatever. De, an introduction maybe??" B said looking sideways at me.
"Yeah, right, umm... these are my friends Jarin and Mimma", I said as I pointed towards them.
B looked at Jarin with a expression that I believed said, "I'll remember you".
"That is Mason and that's Draya. Mason is my brother and Draya is my cousin sister".
"Hi guys, I'm B. Nice to meet you all. Confusion and all, I understand. But next time don't make the mistake of cornering me", he said showing off a smile. He looked at Jarin at the end of his sentence. Even though he smiled but I know exactly how poisonous that smile was. And exactly what he meant by that.
"Do you want me to help you stocking the groceries?" B asked me looking here and there inside the house.
"No, thank you. I will get as much help as I need", I said as I followed him gaze.
"But I'll be quick", he said looking at me.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked narrowing my eyes.
"Nothing, just thought that two are better than one" he gave an awkward smile. Because he knows that I didn't believe him.
"Sweetheart, I know you", I said to him making a face.
"Do you?", he asked tilting his head leaning towards me.
"Don't I?" I asked with a frown as I moved closer to his face causing him to take a step back.
"You do", he said as he took another step back.
I laughed and asked , "Don't want to go back to the club?"
"Don't ask.... Not even a bit", I heard him taking a deep breath.
"It's worse that Raidan isn't there and you know M never interferes" he added.
Actually in the club A and S are having some issues. And so everyone is really walking on the egg shells around them. And it's worst for B because he always stays with them. And that's why he can't even pick a side. He's really helpless.
"Ok, help me with cooking and then drop me off at the dorm", I told him.
"You aren't staying here?" he asked out of concern.
"I'll be here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow", I asked as I finished washing few fruits to cut, to serve it to my family.
"I can't believe that you will belong to someone else after a few days", he said teasing me. He took a deep breath, acting pitiful.
"Your words can be very misleading you know. The way you are saying, and the way you are acting is actually giving off the vibe that I have a history with you", I said shaking my head even at the thought of it.
"Can you disagree that we don't have a history?" he said teasing me.
"Do we? Since when?"
"Don't you always come to me when you are down?"
"Dude.... I come to share my problems with you because you are the only one without problems", I smirked.
"It's all the same", he said as he completed washing all the vegetables.
"Is it? Anyways choose your words correctly. They can cause people to misunderstand", I said as I turned on the stove on.
"What can they misunderstand?? You are like a little sister to me. And soon you will be my sister-in-law. I'm so excited that you are going to be a part of the family".
"Really? Even Steve was really happy that I will be joining the family", I asked as I remembered.
"You bet. All of us always wanted a baby sister. But we never had one. So, we are really excited about you", he seemed honest.
