Chapter 32 - You Are More Than A Friend

"He is my friend….I mean, close friend. More like a…" Brina is about to tell something when Rhianna interjected.

"More like a brother??" she asked, finishing Brina's sentence.

Louis all most coughed his blood.

Brother!!

His ass!!!

Louis felt like to strangle that woman in short skirt. How come she jump into conclusions!!!

Can't she see his eyes which are twinkling with love for Brina??

Louis couldn't help but curse that woman but he looked at Brina with hopeful eyes.

He is so anxious to hear her answer now. What if she tell yes?

He will die with heart break even before he can love her with his whole heart.

Meanwhile, Brina is left in difficult position too.

'Does I see him like my brother?' she questioned herself.

And, right away she knew the answer.

Infinity percent a big NO.

She actually loved his kisses. Brina could tell that she is infatuated towards Louis.

Her dreams about him and her involuntarily flirting's and blushing are the evidences!!

And she admire him for his kind heart and pure intentions to help her. He is her savior who saved her from herself.

But, she is not yet sure if it is more than infatuation. To be frank, she is not yet ready to agree that she is falling in love with him.

"Brina??" Rhianna called, giggling inside.

She scrutinized Brina and Louis while they are thinking and she could tell that their feelings towards each other are mutual.

"Every close friend need not be a brother and every brother need not be as close as friend" Brina told.

Rhianna knew better than anyone that she is talking about Remus who is like a brother and close friend to Brina

"Louis is someone I believe and trust on. I might not know him from years and years like I know my close friends or brother's but I do know that he respects my decisions in life unlike someone whom I use to trust more than I do with myself" Brina told.

She definitely knows that Rhianna wouldn't even utter a word now. She have just touched the sensitive part of Rhianna and everyone.

"I think you have to go Anna, someone is calling you from long back" Brina told.

Rhianna frowned and looked at her mobile which is actually lying on the table little far from their eyes.

"Shit!!" Rhianna hissed.

It's Remus…..the person about whom Brina just spoke now.

"I messed up a big time" Rhianna pursed her lips.

Remus must be calling her thinking that she is still in Europe.

She looked at the receding figure of Brina and shook her head before exiting the restaurant.

….

Meanwhile….

Louis is staring at Brina as they sat down in their reserved table.

The way Brina spoke just now, he felt her so hot and sexy.

His little vixen is actually a vixen!! And he kind of liked this version more than sweet and innocent version of Brina.

"Wow, that's kinda cool" he said.

Brina whose face was grim just now, morphed back to normal. She smiled at him, "It's nothing, some bad past" she told.

Louis nodded his head. Now, he started suspecting if Brina is someone more than just a granddaughter of wealthy family.

The way she just talked with that short skirt girl, he felt the seriousness and power in her voice. Moreover that short skirted blond girl, Rhianna didn't look like a ordinary girl.

She is screaming rich. The accessories on her could bear counted million and million of dollars.

"You don't like that girl?" he asked.

Brina nodded her head no. "She is my good friend. Like a sister who still care for me….but" she pursed her lips.

"Let's leave it Louis. I don't wanna talk about it" she said, pursing her lips. But he could detect the pain in her voice.

"Hey, that's fine. You don't have to explain or force yourself into something you don't like. But don't forget that this 'close friend' is here for you" he said, emphasizing 'the close friend' more

Brina chuckled and shook her head, but he saw through her. She is faking that she is all right, but, he could tell that she is still thinking about the matter of her past.

"Brina, I came into your life not too long back. I don't know what happened in your life….and, I will not ask you about your past."

"But, just remember that when you are with me, you can forget about your past and live this moment as happy and carefree as you deserve to be." Louis told as he squeezed her hand.

Brina didn't complain but smiled as she allowed his palm to caress the back of her hand.

"I can't see you like this" he said as he kissed the back of her hand.

She felt so relaxed and as he said, all the pain and bad past just flew away from her mind.

"Thank you Louis. You are really …" her voice quivered and her eyes brimmed with tears.

"Ssshhh....don't be a cry baby. You deserve to be happy" Louis said in soft tone.

"Come here" he asked and extended his hand. Brina obliged and moved near to him.

Louis smiled comfortingly and wrapped his arms around her.....hugging her.

Brina smiled and leaned into his embrace.

It felt so good.

"You are more than a friend" she whispered to Louis.
