Chapter 147: Chapter 147

Kathleen had been indoor since she arrives from the hospital, she is practically sulking, Aria pushed the door to Kathleen's room, seeing the face of Aria, she frown.

Don't you know how to knock? Kathleen yelled at Aria.

Sorry, I will just knock. she walked out and hit the door but Kathleen didn't asked her to come in, at the fourth knock, she let herself in.

You should know I don't want to talk to you, I really don't want to see the face of anyone, especially you.

I want to talk to you, I want to asked for your opinion about something. Kathleen look at Aria, then move her eyes to the couch, instead of Aria to take the couch like she normally do, she move to the bed, that Kathleen is lying on.

I didn't asked you to sit on my bed, I said take the couch.

I prefer here, I want to breath same air with you, I want to have close skin contact with you.

Kathleen look at her, she pouty.

You should stop doing that.

I look terrible in it right? Aria asked.

Saying that, will make me a lying bitch, you are cutie when you do that. Kathleen admitted with a gritted teeth, apart from the fact that, Aria is bossy, intelligent, smart, she is also very cute, more beautiful than Kathleen as her grandmother will always tease Kathleen with, Kathleen hated the fact that, Aria seems to be bless with everything unlike her, that is not smart with business, she is couldn't be a lawyer like her father.

Thanks, you are cute too, even with your disheveled hair. Kathleen blushed inwardly that was the first time, Aria admire her. Why are you been uptight? Flash me some of those nice smile, I see you flash Barbara

Hm! I will tell Barbara that you are jealous of her. Aria facepalm herself, Kathleen is enjoying her big sister acting all cheesy. What did you say you want my opinion for? Even though I doubt I could give one nice one.

I know you could, I...

What is my benefits? Aria look at her. Yes, reward, you are a lawyer and you know everything in life is not free, things are not free even in Freetown.

What do you want?

Blush my hair. Aria look at her, she wants Aria to disappeared that is the reason, she said that, to her surprised, Aria jumped from the bed and pulled the chair in front of the mirror.

At your service. She bow, Kathleen had no choice than to take the chair, Aria look at her through the mirror

Just forget it. She wanted to stand from the chair, she held her shoulder.

Why do I feel, you want to shoo me away? Kathleen pinned her lips together, she remembers Barbara's words, "is like Aria want to get to know you, so give her a chance" she shakes her head. What?

Fine, just care for my hair, it's really very messy right now. Aria blushed her long hair. Is Riley, your boyfriend? Kathleen asked, she got startled, causing the bush to fall from her hand. Sorry, it's...

Barbara! Kathleen facepalm herself, she had to admit, Barbara told her Riley rejected her because of Aria, although part of the reason is her but Dante is the other part of the reason.

Is... I... Kathleen couldn't make a single sentence.

It's fine, I know she felt Riley didn't accept her because of me.

What? Riley told you about it? Aria nodded, she pulled Kathleen with her to her room, she hurry to her wardrobe, to get the ring. He asked me to marry him.

What did you say? Are we planning a wedding? Kathleen grabbed her hand, she stare at Kathleen's two hand on each of her hand, Kathleen is about to withdrew it when she noticed the stare.

No, leave it there, your hand is soft. Kathleen blushed, this time, she didn't hide it, Aria flash her a nice smile. Here, let me tell you, how it started. Kathleen ended up on Aria's bed.

We were not dating when Barbara asked him to marry her, I only arrived there because he asked me to come check some documents for him, instead of the documents, he ended cooking for me, we keep talking, business, random stuff and the next thing, I could felt he want to lock lips with...

Did he do it? Did you two kiss? She shares her head. Why?

My phone ring at that point, so I hurry out, I felt really embarrass, he place a call to me that he want be to accompany him to a party, I declined because I was ashamed of facing him, only for him to show up at the office and asked dad to tell me, he want to have a business discuss with me...

What a cunning man? He really is a general. Kathleen comment.

Yes, we attended the party, on my way coming back, we are left alone in the car, after dropping his friend, I was feeling awkward already, is like he sense my awkwardness and I was really nervous. Aria closed her eyes and flashbacks to the event.

*****Flashbacks*****

Aria is lost in her thoughts, when Riley break the silent, he place his hand on her hand.

Did you enjoyed the party? She nodded slightly. Sorry, I wouldn't had force you to the party.

You didn't force me. Aria replied him, he was watching her from the side of her eyes, she is fidgeting with her bag, he signed inwardly, as he keep observing her, his heart race to the previous day, probably the kiss is the problem.

He pack his car at the side of the road suddenly, Aria look at her, she was surprised by his actions

What is it? Is there something wrong with the car?

"Can I asked a question, Aria?" He asked Aria as he shakes his head to indicate that the car is fine.

Hm! Yes, sure, you can asked me.

He turned and fixed his gaze on her, he wanted to take her hand but he is afraid that, he probably had gone overboard and Kathleen keep saying her sister is difficult to understand.

Am I making you uncomfortable? Don't you like to be around me?

Riley is scared but still he wants to know what is in the heart of Aria, he doesn't want to get rejected, afraid that Aria will avoid him and he doesn't want that, he really love her, he want to make her, his wife, he really loves her.

Riley look at her, waiting for answer anxiously, she chew on her finger, Riley used his index finger to raised her chin.

No, it's just that, I am feeling really embarrass, because of what almost happened between us... Riley smiled inwardly, allowing her to defend herself.

Come on, you don't have to, I really want to kiss you then, not because I was caught off guard, I have been anticipating the kiss for as long, I could remember seeing your face at Jayden's hotel, I love you right that minutes, I really want to make you my wife.

Aria look at him. "He is anticipating the kiss"

Her heart race again, she really doesn't know what to do about Riley straightforwardness, she fall her face, she is getting all red with the look coming from Riley.

Would you mind if I kiss you? Aria open her mouth to replied but not a word came out, she is really going to burned with embarrassment.

You are blushing and it's a beautiful sight to behold. Aria cover her face with her hand in a hurry, Riley pull it than, then cupped her face in his hand, he lean over to kiss her, his eyes are fixed on her lips

Her heart thump! He is going to kiss me for real"

When his lips meet hers, she felt the world stop, it was nice, getting the taste of the lips of the man, she loves. It's her first kiss and she loves it.

Sorry, I am not really a great kisser. Aria comment as soon as they break free.

Not to worry, you will get better, by kissing me regularly. Aria eyes bulge out, she nodded. Of cause, I want to teach you everything, which means we have to get married.

She felt, she is hearing things, he pulled her on his legs, that position was a bit unconformable.

Yes, I want us to get married, I want you to marry me and make me the happiest man on Earth, don't worry, I will wait, just keep the ring, you don't have to give me answer now.

Aria was blushing badly, as she finished, Kathleen too blushed, she hugged her.

What do you think? Aria asked Kathleen.

He is nice, I like him for you and I know he is in love with you and sorry, I gave him tips on your favorite food. Aria look at Kathleen, she held her two ears, Aria peck her forehead, her sister is getting married and they are getting to know each other as well, she never felt that Aria will asked for her opinion.
