14 years later//

Bang bang bang

The title song of Big bang forced me to wake up from my beautiful morning sleep. I was sleeping so peacefully but he had to break my beautiful sweet dream "uggggh Chris why did you do that, you know that very well how much I love my sleep, aiish I hate you"

Suddenly he came close to me and my heartbeat started to beat faster than ever "little flower you should not tell a lie, your nose will get bigger, like your favorite Pinocchio"

I threw my pillow to his face but he caught very fast "for how many years you are going to tease me, I was a little girl back then and who told you that I am telling lie?"

He then flicked my forehead "owww what was that for?" I started to rub my forehead "my little flower you can never hate me because I know you, love me more than yourself"

That caught me off guard and I opened my eyes in a swift.

Sometimes I feel that if he really knows what's going on in my mind and my heart. Yes, I love him, a lot, not as a friend, as any girl loves any boy. But he never realized, how can he? He always considered me as his best friend, nothing more, and sometimes I feel very hurt whenever I saw any girl approaching him.

"Hey, little flower wake up from your daydream, time for school. I am waiting for you at downstairs, don't be late and don't you dare to sleep in the bathroom or I will break the door and carry you on my shoulder, do you understand!" Ugggh he and his nagging which made me roll my eyes "okay I get it, now go.."

He was about to go but then "ooh and one thing, bang bang bang..hahaha "

"Chris..." I threw him my another pillow but he dodged it. I loved the way he teases me, his affection towards me.

After getting ready I went downstairs and saw Chris, Sophia and dad were already in the dining table. I ran towards them and kissed my dad in his cheek ."Good morning dad" "good morning dear, how was your sleep?"

"It was good until someone has to ruin my sleep" I glared at Chris and he was eating like shameless.

"Thank god Chris was there, otherwise you would sleep like a panda, and how many times I have told you if you eat and sleep like this you will definitely get more fat than you are.

I mean, Just look at me. Because of my body, I have become an Instagram model. Do you have any idea how many followers I have? Even Chris has 60k something followers, more than me and he is not even a model. Still, people are crazy about his looks and body.

And you tell me how many people know you except Chris? it's your luck is that you have Chris as a friend otherwise..." I know she has lots to say but dad stopped her "Sophia we should not talk while eating"

Sophia was right, I am nobody, except Chris who know me but I don't care I have Chris, I have my family though Sophia is different from me I know she loves me.

I and my sister are the total opposites from each other. While I am a panda by size and nature, on the other hand, she is a barbie doll. I mean she was like a beautiful, shaped body, honey-blond hair, green eyes, well mannered.

Sometimes people think that only she is the only child of my dad as if I never exist. But although she claims in front of everyone that she doesn't like me, still. Still, I know she loves me and I love her. After all, she is my little sister. She may have everything but I have my Chris. He always was and always will be with me. No matter what happens, no one can ever break our friendship, not even us.

"Little flower?" "huh?" I noticed he was giving me his concerned look, he knew every little bit details of mine. He squeezed my hand under the table which made me forget whatever has Sophia said.

"Obviously I am okay, I mean it's not my fault that Chris chose me as his friend. And yes, my little sister, I am panda, and let me tell you one thing ... you do know that pandas are always cute. So, don't be jealous okay?" "ya ya whatever makes you sleep."

We were eating our breakfast then I realized we have our graduation coming two days later and I have to inform dad. "Dad, you are coming right?" "Coming where?" "Dad our graduation is two days later, you have to be present there with Sophia."

"Dear, I will try but I can't be sure, I have some important meeting that day." "And yeah I have also some important photoshoot, so I also can't come, so don't wait for me."

Hearing their words I have lost my all appetite. They were never there in my any celebration, always are busy with their own work." little flower, let's go, we are going to be late" he took my hand and went towards his car. At first, he put me in the car, then he sits on the driver seat.

We were on our way to school but I was silent through the ride. Suddenly he stopped the car and took my hand to his hand "little flower look at me." I didn't want to look at him, he knew I was sad by their words, but I also know I am strong. I am and always will be" "what? Chris, it's nothing" " I know you, okay? don't let them hurt you, they didn't say that they will not come, they will try"

"Obviously they will come, they are my family and they love me. And why should be sad when you are here with me " he then ruffle my hair and caressed my cheek "that's like my little flower, so back to our old routine, what say?" then we looked at each other mischievously "its K-pop timeeeeee" we screamed, then he played "good boy" from the Big bang.

"I am a good boy" then we started our little and crazy dance session in the car. We really love K-pop, especially the big bang. We are having fun right now, I forget for short times whatever happened while ago. He always makes me smile, ya, this is us. Right here, right now nothing matters.

We reached in our high school and went towards the hall room. Everyone was looking at him, like always. Girls were ogling over him while giving me nasty looks like always. Some moments later he stopped, then kissed my forehead for some time and then went to his other friends like always. Actually, it's our regular routine for 14 years.

Everybody knew that I was the only girl he was ever seen with.

Many girls wanted to approach him even I have told him many times to befriend another girl though it hurt me a lot while asking him to approach another girl he was like..."Why should I go with another girl when you are with me? No girl can be you, no one can take your place."

And I was so much happy about that. Happy, that someone is here in the world for me, for whom I am special. No matter what size I am, no matter how I look.

"Booo" I got scared by sudden contact. "Jesus Christ Valerie you scared me" "ooooh please when you are busy to ogling your Romeo then what could I do?"

Other than Chris, Valerie is my only friend in school and she knows everything about my feelings for Chris "Valerie Chris is only my friend, nothing is there, you know that."

She rolled her eyes because she knew I was lying "really? don't give me the friendship bullshit, any blind can notice how you treat each other and you are saying that he is only my friend" "Valerie how many times I have told you, he cares for me, he was always with me by thick and thin. He just considers me as his best friend, nothing else."

I sighed then we walk to our locker "lily I would prefer if you tell your feelings to Chris, it will be easier for both of you. I know you are scared of losing him but we don't know, maybe he also sees you as a lover, not as a best friend but might be scared like you, that how will you react." It hit my mind, she was right, maybe I can try.

"Maybe you are right, but I am scared Valerie if things got awkward between us?"

"Look lily, you should not forget that it is Chris that we are talking about. He cares for you a lot, he knows every single thing of your life, the things even you don't know of yourself.

So have faith in him, believe yourself. I suggest you should tell him after our graduation because after that we have to apply for college so you better hurry up." "Okay let me think" "think quickly besty, otherwise we can't tell what can happen in the future." She is right, I should tell him, I know Chris will understand me. He will...

Chris Pov//

After saying goodbye to my flower I went straight to my friends, who were waiting for me in front of our locker. Joseph, ken, and Sammy."Hey man, done kissing your Juliet?" "Ken how many times do I have told you, not to call her Juliet, we have nothing going on at all, she is only my friend"

"I don't think so Chris, the way you care for her, the way you treat her, the way you fight for her even with us, it only shows the love you feel for her"

What? Love? With my flower? How is that possible? She is my friend, nothing more.

"Ken, stop it, you know that very well, there will never be anything between us, we will and always be a best friend. And if you are talking about my affection towards her, it's because of our bonding of 14 years. She has seen many things in her life, she needs me, and yes, I love her but as a friend, not as a lover, it's not possible."

"If someone else will come in her life and claim to love her then how will you react?" it was Sammy who spoke out this time "then I will accept it happily because in future there will also be another girl in my life and another man in her life. Then they will become our priority but the place we hold for each other in our life will remain always like this.

I know a few things will change but not everything. She will and always be my best friend, nothing more and nothing less."

"Whatever you say man, but my friend, I don't want you to regret later"

oops, they both have a different opinion, what will lily do now? will she declare her love for Chris and if she did how will Chris react then? I hope you like the chapter, follow, vote, and share. Thanks, bye😍😘
