His breath hitched when she said those three magical words to him, the stars looked down and smiled, their conspiracy finally come true today.

Their hearts beated faster than ever, they could feel fireworks around, butterflies erupting in their stomach.

It looked ethically beautiful.

~♥~

"Trust this woman when she wants you to die out of curiosity" I mumbled to myself and looked at the chit in my hand with a frustrated look.

Alaia had been playing a really bad game with me now. I looked at the people in front of me with pleading eyes who were happily munching some or the other junkies.

" Guys please say!" I pleaded for the 100th time to them, who as expected shook their heads and focused back on eating.

I cursed them under my breath, shooting staggers at them.

I wish murdering someone was not a crime.

I looked at my best friend, who enjoyed my frustrated face with a chocolate bar in his hands.

Macey looked at me, grinning like a cheshire cat with a bag of nachos in her hands.

Isaac shot me a knowing smile while carter sighed dreamily.

Max, along with Liam gave a wide smile to me and at that time, I wanted to murder every single soul.

OK.... One last weapon.

" Pleaseeeeeeee...." I used my puppy dog eyes, batting my eyelashes with a pout.

"Ewwwwwww! Stop giving those puppy eyes, you rather look like a pit bull dog " Nick said.

I gasped. My gaze travelled to others who nodded their head, agreeing with this asshole's point and what they did next made my jaw drop.

They all stood up from the couch, one by one and left but not before wriggling their brows at me.

Wierd!

Super wierd!

" And.... Enjoy!" they singsonged in unison before giggling and bolting away from there.

Super duper wierd!

I shook my head with a sigh and turned to look at the chit that was in my hands.

It read:

I stand up tall and made of steel
With baguettes and garlic at my heel
The hunchbacks house could see my head.
I am well known than a certain bread,
I love the colour red, white and blue.
But obviously, not as much as you.
I am marvel for all to see
Though to some, I am monstrosity.

She just made me realize, how much of a dumb person I am.

While I was still trying to figure the answer out, a ping of phone got me out of my thought, a smile creeped on my lips as I stared at my screen.

Alaia messaged me.

Alaia : I know, you are an absolute idiot. You were not able to guess such a famous place Ashton!

I gasped, she called me an idiot!

But I cannot even disagree here, I actually am one. I shook my head at such thoughts and read her second message.

Alaia: Let me give you one more hint, hmm.....So it is 'symbol of love'.

OK......

Symbol of love?
