“Keith?”
He turns around to see Ashley. She gave him a nervous smile.
“What is it Ashley?”
“I need to talk to you.” she looks down. Playing with the handkerchief she held.
“Okay.”
“Can we go somewhere private?”
“Come.” he gestures her to follow him.
They walk to a secluded place in the garden. He then turns around and waits patiently for her to speak. She was fiddling with her kerchief.
“Tell me Ashley. Is anything wrong?”
“N-no.”
“You're stuttering. What's wrong. Did anything happen?” he places a hand on her shoulder, concerned.
She looks into his chocolate eyes, then takes a deep breath.
“Actually, I don't want to mar—”
“Hey Keith, Hey Ash! What are you both doing here?” Andrew asks cheerfully.
“Keith I'm so sorry. I'll tell you about it later.” Ashley sighs.
“Its okay. I'll see you later then.” he waves at them and walks away.
Ashley turns and looks at Andrew with a glare.
“What did I do?” he asks, raising both of his arms in defense.
“I wanted to tell Keith that I couldn't marry him because of us! You ruined it!” she smacked him on his shoulders playfully.
“Okay! I'm sorry!” he laughs, rubbing his shoulders.
“Oh come on! I know it doesn't hurt you! Stop acting!”
Andrew then pulls her to him and then kisses her forehead.
“Tell me when you are going to tell Keith about us. I'll not disturb you. Okay?”
She nods.
“Oh! I completely forgot! Bea and I were supposed to go for a picnic today! I have to go now! See you later!” she stands at her toes and then pecks him on his lips and runs away, giggling.
Andrew stands there, stunned.
*What did just happen?!*
_________
Keith walks to Havana's house. It is time he tells them. Time he tells Bea how much he loves her, to confess his love to her. He slowly walked the street towards Havana's house.
Lost in thought, he suddenly bumps into someone.
“Watch it!” hands grip his shoulder.
Keith looks to see Nate with a worried look on his face.
“Keith is anything wrong?”
Keith shakes his head.
“Then stop biting your fingernails!”
Keith then looks at his nails. It was uneven. *I was biting my nails!* he didn't know. He grimaced at his fingers.
“Where are you headed to?” Nate questions him.
“Havana's.”
“Oh…..I'll have to write to my father. I'll come there later.”
Keith nods.
“Okay! I'll see you later!” Nate waves and walks back to the palace.
Keith then walks to Havana's house and stands in front of the door.
