I started to walk with Roy and was able to feel king's eye on us from back.
"Are you enjoying?" Roy asked me, I don't know why did he suddenly asked me for walk.
"Yeah, it's pretty calm here, this is something I love a lot." I replied.
"Yes, and its perfect for some talk." Roy said, I nodded and sipped my drink. Maybe he wanted to talk about something serious.
"Umm…" he said thinking something in his mind, I was just hoping he don't say something that would make both of us awkward.
"I wanted to ask you something ava." he said casually.
"Yeah, what is it?" I asked. My heart started to beat fast, I hope he is grown up now, and don't imagine me as his sweetheart like we used to be when we were toddler.
"How do you see your bodyguard?" He asked while looking at sky, he didn't made any eye contact, may be he is nervous and about to ask me something serious.
"King? I don't know." I replied and my throat already started to feel dry in this conversation, I felt warmth on my cheeks I hope they are not red. Mona teases me about king and me but I never felt it, maybe because all she says are jokes and this is my first time someone asked me about what I feel about him. I have never discussed about him on this topic before with anyone.
"What are you thinking?" Roy looked at me and smiled widely.
"Huh? Nothing." I replied setting my hairs hoping he don't see my face, my hands started sweating, what the hell is with this feeling.
"You don't feel anything about him?" He asked again.
"No way, I am too focused on my upcoming show." I somehow managed to reply.
"Hmmm", Roy sipped again, "I saw you guys are pretty close." he said, "that's why I was wondering, and its ok to feel something because its human nature, if we spent time with someone we get attached and sometime this attachment turns into deep feeling."
"Haha, I know we are close, but it's like family I am close to May too." I replied, I know it was a lame reply but I had nothing in my mind, all my focus was on controlling my mind. Wait what am I sayinggghh aagggrrrhh.
Roy smiled again.
"What?" I asked.
He turned and stand exactly in front of me, as he is taller than me he bent a little to look into my eyes, like if he was confirming something.
"I see love for you in his eyes." He said.
His words choked me on my drink making it spit on his face.
"Oh my, I am I sorry." I said, my heart was beating so fast I had no idea what was happening.
"Aissh!!" he said, "its ok." he was still smiling.
He cleaned his face. "I think you hate him with all your heart."
"N..no that's not also a case." I replied. "This is something I never thought about before that's why I reacted this way."
"Hmm understandable." Roy said. We stared to walk again.
He plucked a flower form tree and gave me.
"Thanks." I replied. I love this.
He smiled looking at me, "I think we should go back." he said.
"Yeah." I replied and we turned back to walk toward May and king.
"Why did you ask me that?" I asked as I was wondering.
Roy looked at me, "Even I don't know." he replied.
"Haha that was so random by the way." I said. I was worried about something else.
"I know, actually I wanted to ask how one feels when fall in love and to ask that I only have you.' he said.
"Huh? Why are you asking me this so suddenly are you confused about something?" I was interested in talk now.
Ah, Roy laughed a little and scratched his forehead, "actually I, I am confused between love and just attraction or we can't say attraction but kind of Um how can I explain…" he said, he was trying to share and hide at the same time.
"Do you have crush on someone?" I asked to make it little easy.
"I don't know if it is crush or my sympathy I feel like I should take care of her, I should be with her and I should be with her every day, but I don't feel like the same I used to feel for you."
He made me confused too.
"What? You felt something for me?" I acted like if had no idea about it and at the same time was thanking god because he is over me, he is really good person, even if he is little annoying he cares for me a lot, he is important to me but not the way he wanted me in past and I was always worried about hurting him, what a relief.
"Yes, but it was just attraction" Roy said, he smiled "I was stupid back then, I thought I am your everything and you will be mine but then I realized I am not of your type, tho we are good friends…best friends we can say, we saw each other growing but I am and my life is very different than yours, we are not for each other and I am just that another guy who has crush on you I am nothing special."
At this point I started to feel bad.
"You don't have to feel bad, it was just my mind and my own thoughts, you always treated me well even when I annoy you. Don't be sorry or something please these are just facts." He said holding my hand. "Yes I had crush on you but now I realized it was not love it is just a crush, and your only mistake is you are really beautiful." He laughed a little. "I will always take care of you." His smile and words made me happy and I was smiling too, what a girl like me wants? This kind of people in life.
"I am really happy today." I said. "I also want you by my side always."
We started to walk again.
"How will you know if you love her?" I asked.
"Tell me please I have no idea what really a love is, is it even a thing or it's just something else." He replied.

NEAR LAKE KING AND MAY WAS SITTING
"What is so deep." king said clenching is fingers.
"Why?" May asked. "Don't worry they are old friends they might be sharing something."
"Why did he hold her hand." king said.
"Can't he?" May asked, "are you sure you are her bodyguard? I am smelling a possessive no toxic boyfriend."
King sigh. And sat back near May.
