Ivan POV
I held the gate wide open for her. She looks surprised at seeing my house, she just can't stop staring at the mansion. I don't blame her coz that's how people look shock at seeing it.
We walk to the door step and I held the door wide open for her. She walk in first and I followed behind. I took her to the visitors sitting room
" so, this is where you leave " she said in a good way
" yeah. Come sit over here" I pointed at the more comfy chair. She sat down.
" hello " came in Emilia with a broad smile, Lucy also return the smile.
" I'm Emilia his sister" she introduced as she brought out her hand for a shake.
" lucy ,his classmate " Lucy also introduce as she shakes Emilia's hand
" wow you're so beautiful. I guess that's why Ivan hid you from us" teased Emilia. She just won't stop talking.
" we're just classmates " Lucy said as she stole a look at me.
" well nice meeting you. Let me tell you a secret, you're the first girl he ever brought home " if look could kill, Emilia would have been 6ft buried under ground
" really?" a surprised Lucy said as she look at me.
" I'm serious, he just doesn't like bringing girls over. you must be special to him "
A blush crept up Lucy's cheeks
" its enough Emilia, we have assignments to do so bye, you may leave" I gritted out
She whined and finally gave Lucy a hug before leaving.
" your sister is nice" Lucy said immediately Emilia was out of sight.
" whatever " I muttered while Lucy quietly said something along the line of 'jerk '

" here is what I had already draft out. Check it if it need some corrections or some sort " I hand over the jotting book to Ivan.
" do I need to go through it" he rudely said
" of course, that is why it's called a group work. At least you're going to have ideas on what the topic is all about as you haven't done anything yet"
" whatever. Give it to me" he grabbed the book from my hand. He didn't even spend up to three seconds before he said;
" it's OK. I like the idea"
" are you sure you went through it coz you didn't even spend up to 5 minutes while going through the book"
He glare at me " what do you want me to do. You said I should go through it and that is what I did, what more to you want me to do. I don't even get why I'm even paired with you coz all you do is nag and nag like you're my mother "
" you ungrateful, I was only trying to help you understand what the assignment is all about but all you do is to insult me. I shouldn't have come here in the first place then. You and I both know that you hated me since the first time we met and I don't even know what I did to you. " I angry yelled out
Ivan look surprised then smirk " who said I hated you? I never told you I hated you"
" you don't need to say it coz your actions says it all. I don't know what I have done to you, we don't even know each other not until you bumped into me at Collins restaurant "
He raised his brows in a challenging way " are you sure about that?"
" what did you mean by that? " I asked confused
He slowly stride to where I was standing. He held my gaze and said " can you swear it that your first time of seeing me was at the restaurant not at any other place"
I move back from his closeness coz he makes me uneasy" I don't know what you're trying to say. All I know is that the restaurant is my first place of seeing you " I lied
I uneasily packed my book with shaky hands. Where is he driving at? Could he be talking about the dream? Is he also having dreams about me? So many thoughts keeps swirling in my head.
Ivan only stood in his position as he watch me pack my books inside my bag. I finally zip it up and was about to leave but unfortunately for me I felt myself been pulled to a hard chest. I wasn't able to comprehend anything not until I felt soft lips on my lips
Ivan was kissing me
My eyes was as wide as sausage.I stood still in the kiss ,he was the one doing the kissing. A couple of seconds, when I finally came to my senses I pushed him away from me.
" how dare you? " I gritted out
He finally came back to his senses, a look of shame also pass through his face " I'm sorry Lucy, I don't know what I was thinking. I swear I didn't mean to kiss you without your knowledge. I just couldn't hold it anymore. " he said
I shot him a murderous look" you are crazy"
" call me all sorts of names I will gladly welcome them but please I have to ask you just this single question and please don't lie to me " He calmly said
I want to go away but he was on my way , if I move to the left he also moved to the left. I decided to just listen to him.
" what is your question? "
" I don't know if it might sound crazy to you. But, do you have dreams about me Lucy and please don't lie to me. I'm at the brick of running mad, I don't understand all this dreams I have been having about you and me together. The first time I had ever seen you was in my dreams, I swear I'm not lying, that's the truth. Please answer my question? "
What!?.
I wasn't expecting that question. Does that mean, I'm not the only one having those dreams?
" please answer the question lucy"
I blinked out of my thoughts " I do-n't kn-ow what you're talking about. I don't have dreams of you" I lied
I look a his face to see his reaction. His face fell. He look sad
I couldn't hold it anymore, the lie was killing me.
" I'm leaving " I didn't wait for his reply as I practically ran out of the house.
What is this all about. What If I said the truth would he like me or what? Coz I don't understand why he looks sad like he wanted to believe that I also have dreams about him.

IVAN
How can she say she doesn't have dreams of me when her reaction at the restaurant says it all. Could she be lying? What if she was telling the truth? Does that mean I'm the only crazy person?
What is happening to me?
" hey ivan" a voice called out. I blinked out of my thoughts
" are you ok" asked Emilia as I notice she was the one calling me.
" I've been calling you for a seconds and you where deep in your thoughts. What is bothering you? " a concerned Emilia asked
" I'm fine. I'm just tired "
" oh okay. So Lucy had left then. She didn't even say goodbye to me " she pouted
" she had to leave in a hurry coz something came up at home " I lied
" oh okay. Are you guys done with you work?"
" nope, we will do that another time" I said with a force smile
" OK then. I'm going to my room" with that, she left.
I promise to make you say the truth, Lucy. I will do all my possible best just for you to admit it. Just wait for war.
