AN UNKNOWN PHONE CALL...

Lara's P.O.V

I woke up to someone caressing my cheeks. I gradually opened my eyes only to come across with those beautiful eyes of John. "Hey." I murmured, with a smile. "Hey, wake up." John murmured, with a smile on his face.

I looked at the smile dancing on his lips. Automatically, my lips also smiled. "How are you feeling?" John said, as he got up from the bed. Suddenly, I felt cold on my cheeks. I left a sigh.

"Fine. Now, as am here." I said, while walking to the bathroom. "I'll be downstairs. Come when you are done." John shouted, for me to listen from the bathroom. "Yeah." I shouted back, for him to listen. I heard him closing the door, while he left the room.

After, I got fresh, wore a comfy top with some track pants. I also went downstairs to see Mia and Leo in the kitchen and others sitting on the couch. A small smiled appeared on my lips, by seeing them all together.

They all were chit-chatting with eachother. I didn't speak anything, as, I was watching them, smiling. "Lara, come here." Tristan said, chuckling. Ashton was laughing at something. "Yep." I said and went to sit on the couch beside John. John kissed my right cheek and spoke to them.

"How are you feeling?" Tristan asked, with a smirk on his face. I frowned. "Fine. Maybe?" I said, and my eyes got wide at very instant. As, I got the double meaning of it. I looked at Ashton and, he gave me a wink.

"You will have a black eye." John said, with his burning gaze. "She is all yours, man." Ashton said, laughing out. I even started chuckling at John. "Yeah, yeah, laugh how much you want to." John said, rolling his eyes.

The brunch was ready, as, Leo and Mia called out for us at the dining table. We ate our respective brunch with gossiping around. The room was filled with laughter and gossips. I was happy to see us together.

After, some time, we decided to video call our parents. Ok, it's a video conference call to our parents. I don't know, how they will react to it. I just don't know, if we should say them the truth. "Should we say our parents the truth?" I asked, my besties.

"I don't think, that's a good idea. I mean, I don't want to bother them." Tristan said, putting a piece of pancakes inside his mouth. "Me, neither." Leo said, nodding. "I think, we should never tell them about it." John said, amused. "I agree." Mia said, with a tight smile. "Don't worry, Lara. Everything is fine. Let's just en-" Ashton was cut-off in mid sentence by a knock on the main door.

We all looked at each other, with our wide eyes. "I'll look at it." I said, getting up from the chair.

I walked towards the main door and opened it. There was Sophie. "Hi, how are you?" I yelled, excitedly. I hugged her and she hugged me back.

Everyone came behind me. I think, they heard my yell. "I-I am fin-fine." Sophie blushed, due to all the attention. "Relax, Sophie. There is nothing to blush about. Get in." I said, holding her hand and pulling her in the house. "No, it's just...it's been so long, I haven't met you all." Sophie said, a little chuckling.

"Sophie? Why are you here? Did anything happen?" We all turned our attention to Ashton, who spoke these words. "What? I am just worried." Ashton said, wide eyes. "Umm, actually...mom was worried about your whereabouts. So, I just came here to know, you were fine." Sophie said, with a bored tone.

"Ohh...ohk.." Ashton said, dreamily. "Sophie, join us." Mia said, motioning her to the dining table.

We all greeted each other. It was like, back to normal. Again. I was happy, though. Sophie is Ashton's younger sister. We know her, when I and Ashton used to date each other. In short, since, our college, we know her.

We all were known in the whole college for our bond. It was fun back than. Then, something, caught my eyes. I saw Tristan staring at Sophie. It was something, loving and caring. The looks John gives me and Leo gives Mia. I smiled to myself.

As, my guts were screaming that, Tristan loves Sophie which she has no idea about. 'I am going to speak to Tridtan about it.', I thought to myself. We all gossiped about our surroundings. That was a promise, that, we made, we won't tell anything to anyone.

By seeing these positive things, my body started feeling at ease. I was beyond happy. Betty and Denny will be hang to death and the remaining ones, who helped Betty in it, will be punished.

After, some time, I felt a hand on my thigh caressing it. I looked at the hand and it was of John. I looked at him, but, he was talking to others, like, nothing happened. I tried to shove his hand from my thigh, but, instead his hold got tight. "Are you guys together?" Sophie asked, excitedly.

I looked at her and then smiled. "Yes." I blushed. John smiled looking at everyone. I just ignored the feeling that his hand was still on my thigh. "It's complicated." Mia said, dramatically.

"I knew, this would happen some or the other day." Sophie said, chuckling. I blushed to there comments. My gaze adverted to Tristan who was stealing glances of Sophie. I seriously need to talk about it. I smiled inwards. Suddenly, I felt the hand moving upwards, gradually.

I stopped John by putting my hand on him. I looked at him, but, he was out of any reaction. I gradually, removed my hand when felt that he would stop, but, was proved wrong, when within just a fraction of seconds, his hand slightly touched my vagina.

He just kept his hand near my vagina, but, I was still able to feel the arousal. I bit my lip to prevent the moan. It was very hard for me to complete my pancakes with his hand near my pus*y.

"Guys, I think we should get going. Don't forget to call your parents and we will be there when, you all will leave for Paris." Ashton said, after we all finished with our food. John removed his hand from my thigh, after, I finished my food and went to the couch.

Everyone joined me on the couch, when they were finished with there food. "You guys are going to Paris?" Sophie asked. She sounded sad, for some reason. "Yes, for the vacation only." Mia said, nodding. We all gave them a nod.

After some time, we bid farewell to eachother and they both left. "Now, it's 6:00 pm. Let's call them." Leo said, taking out the tab. We all sat on the couch properly. Leo did a conference video called to our parents. "Mom!!" I cried.

"Sweetie!!! I missed you." My mom cried from the other side of the call. We all were happy to see them or to talk to them. I almost cried. John wrapped an arm around my shoulder, while we were talking to them.

The parents noticed it. Sometimes, parents too become like the teenagers. They asked, if we were together. And, we said yes. My parents were happy. Infact, his parents were happy as well. The parents of Leo, Mia and Tristan started teasing us.

My cheeks went red, when, they even started discussing about our unborn children. Mia, Leo and Tristan bursted out laughing. I stole a glance of John blushing. That was fun.

We didn't tell them about the things that happened with us, in these few days. My mom has a sharp eye sight. She even asked me about the red Mark's on my cheek and neck. I didn't know, what to answer. But, Mia covered it for me.

Mia said, that, I was practising karate, when, I fell on the ground really hard. My mom asked, if I was ok. Thank to god, that, she believed the story. Otherwise, my mom would have come to London. I didn't want to bother anyone with my problems.

The call went smooth. They were excited to see us. Even, we were so excited to see them. I wanted to see my mom. I wanted her arms around me. So many things happened with me, which, was making me emotional.

I controlled my tears and sat there confident and straight. The call was done, so, I decided to go to my room. I was feeling light headed. My besties were downstairs and were watching some movie. I was feeling like to go for some outing. I needed some fresh air.

And, suddenly a idea popped up on my head. I went downstairs but didn't run as the doctor asked me to have rest. "Guys, I have an idea." I said, smiling to my eyes. Everyone's head turned around. They all gave a questioning look.

"Why don't we have our dinner in a restaurant, tonight? We can go to watch a movie before the dinner." I said, enthusiastically. I was chiming till then.

"I was just thinking of that, baby." John said, dramatically. "It isn't that a bad idea. Tho." Tristan said, thinking. "Even, we need some fresh air after all these things." Mia said, shaking her head.

"Let's get ready, then." Leo said, like a six-year old boy who has just got something he wished for. We all laughed at his reaction.

We all went to our respective rooms to get ready. We decided to meet downstairs at 8:00 pm. The show Tristan booked was at 8:30 pm. We asked about the film, but, he said that, it was surprise.

I went to my closet to find something to wear after I took a bath. I was feeling so happy. 'I think, it's just the feeling after all the negativity.', I thought to myself. I wore a lacy black lingerie below a one piece black off-shoulder short dress.

It came till my thighs and had a slit on the right leg. I matched the dress with a black simple eyeshadow. I applied the double coated mascara with a double coated peach lipstick.

I wore some silver bangles with a pair of black heels. I left my hair down. I checked myself in the mirror once, before going downstairs.

I met there Tristan and John, watching some football match. They were so busy watching, that they didn't notice me coming. I directly went and sat beside John.

As if, I didn't notice both of them. Suddenly, my thigh came in a contact with a light slap from a hand. I looked at John, but, his eyes were still on the screen.

"Baby, I don't want anyone looking at you." John said, without any expression. I opened my mouth to say, 'yes.' but, someone's voice stopped me. "Damn, you look gorgeous." Mia said, running to me. I looked up at Mia and Leo.

"You look so damn hot." I chimed at my place. "But, I have to change it." I said, looking at John. John smiled at me, but, his smile dropped down, when, Mia said, "No." "I asked her to change her dress as well. But, ended up doing something else." Leo said, rubbing his neck.

We all laughed at his sheepish smile. I looked at Mia and saw her blushing. When u saw, what they were wearing. Mia wore a black mid-thigh dress. Which had black net as her sleeves. She wore a dark red lipstick with a black eyeshadow and some mascara. She completed her looks with a pair of black heels.

Leo wore a normal blue colour round neck t-shirt with a pair of blue jeans. Tristan wore a black v-neck t-shirt with a pair of blue jeans and John wore a v-neck white t-shirt with a pair of blue jeans. The muscles were popping out of all of there t-shirts.

The girls will surely drool over them tonight. The thought of the girls drooling over John made my blood boil. But, I controlled it. I looked at Mia and saw the same expression on her face.

She looked at me and we gave eachother a knowing look. Suddenly, a thought came across my mind. 'If I have to talk to Tristan about Sophie then, I have to be confirmed first.', I thought to myself.

"Why don't we invite Sophie and Ashton with us?" I said, with my eyebrows raised. "Not a bad idea. We will call them on our way." Mia said, dragging me towards the door. I looked behind and saw everyone smirking. I frowned and ignored it. Tonight will be fun. I danced inwardly.
