“Mr James answer the question.”, He commanded.
“We just arrange a trip just to relax our brain and to know each other better.”, He replied.
“I don’t approve of this.”, Harry said and Rowan scoffed.
“You don’t have to approve of this, I don’t take permission from you.”
“Then how about I inform the chairman that his sick son wants to go out for some trip?”, He asked.
“But I will keep my mouth shut if I follow you guys, choose between I inform the chairman or I join you guys.”, He said.
“Forget the trip, I have suddenly become uninterested.”, Rowan said.
“Rowan …. let’s just allow him to come with us, it will be totally fine.”, Heaven said.
“Listen to your girlfriend rowan, she has a point.”, He said.
“Happy birthday.”, He said and went to hug Rowan and left afterwards.
*******
They were done with the trip preparation and everything was set.
They divided themselves in group.
Mr James carried Mrs Janice with his car, harry carried heaven in his car and Rowan carried ruby and Leon in his.
Mr James and Mrs Janice were flirting throughout the ride and Leon and ruby wouldn’t stop engaging Rowan into an endless conversation.
“You know who I am right?”, Heaven asked harry on their way.
“What do you mean?”, He asked.
“Quit the pretense! You know that I am not Nevaeh right?”, She asked again.
“Yes I know, your sister told me.”, He replied.
“So why are you bothering Rowan? Since you know that I am not the person you love, why would you still be bothering him?”
“Rowan is my brother, are you asking me to stop seeing him?”, He asked.
“That was not what I meant, what I am saying is that you don’t have to worry that Rowan would steal Nevaeh from you because I am not Nevaeh.”, She said.
“The difference between you and Nevaeh is very clear.”, He said and smiled.
“Do you like Rowan?”
“Of course not!”, She replied.
“Why are you even joining us on this trip?”, She asked.
“I just want to get to know you better.”, He said and she furrowed her brow.
“Know me better? For what?”
“As my sister in law, isn’t it only right to know you better?”, He asked.
“Oh that’s better.”, She replied.
“Woah! This is beautiful, stop the car. I want to have a clear view.”, She said and Harry parked.
“I need to show this to Nevaeh and Rowan.”, She thought and thought some shots.
“You should really come and see this, nature is beautiful.”, She said urging harry to come out of the car.
“Nature is beautiful, don’t you agree?”, She asked.
“Even if I don’t agree with you, you are certainly not the type I would want to get into a argument, we will just argue all day.”, He said and she laughed.
“Let’s go, I don’t want everyone to be worried because we are late.”, She said and they went back to the car.
“You should always remember to put on your seatbelt.”, He said as he moved closer to help heaven.
“Thanks but I can do it myself.”, She said slightly pushing him away.
“Okay.”
“How come heaven and Mr Harry haven’t arrived yet? Do you think something happened to them?”, Leon asked worried.
“Allowing her to ride with harry was a big mistake, did he plan on doing something to her?”, Rowan thought.
“Here they are.”, Ruby pointed out and everyone became relieved.
“What happened? Why were you late?”, Rowan asked.
“We stopped on our way, I wanted to show you this.”, She said showing the picture she had taken earlier but Rowan wasn’t interested.
He was more worried about her safety and there she was talking about some pictures.
“I thought something happened to you, how would you protect me if something had happened to you?”, Rowan said.
“Mr Rowan is so cool.”, Leon said and looked at ruby.
“I wish he was concerned about me like that.”, She said.
“I am concerned about you, I care about you ruby.”, Leon said in a serious tone.
“I know but I want Mr Rowan to treat me that way.”, She said and Leon just Pat her back.
“Let’s all go inside.”, Mr James said and they all followed.
“Wow, we are near the beach. Have you been on the beach before?”, Heaven asked Rowan.
“Yes once with my mom years ago.”, He replied.
“Let’s go there tonight.”, She said and he nodded as he wore his mask.
“Are you scared?”, She asked.
“Who is scared? Of course not.”, He replied.
“Your heart is beating very fast and you are sweaty.”, She stated.
“Mr Rowan is afraid?”, Leon teased.
“It’s because I am cold.”, He lied but Leon won’t stop teasing him
“If you scared, you can just hold my hand and I will protect you.”, Leon said playfully but he meant it.
“Stop teasing him, will you?”, Ruby said and hit Leon.
“You two should just try to get along once in a while.”, Mrs Janice said to Ruby and Leon.
“I am the one trying to get along with Ruby but she just finds mistakes in everything I do and say.”, Leon said.
“That’s because you are annoying.”, Ruby replied.
“You are the annoying one.”, He said.
“No you are the annoying one.”, Ruby replied and Mrs Janice just hit the both of them of their heads.
“Are you two better now?”, She asked and they just glared at each other.
