I quickly turned around and paled when i saw Ryan standing there with his one eyebrow raised looking at me quetioningly.

"R-Ryan hey, oh that, it's no-nothing" i stuttered a little.

He didn't replied but still his eyebrow was raised expecting truth.

"She was just talking about my pet dog. She loves dogs so that's why we were just talking about that." Ivan came to my rescue.

He's literally my knight in shining armour. Thank God. I mentally thanked him for this.

Looking at Ryan's expression, it was now a little relaxed.

"By the way, why did you come here?"

I asked changing the topic.

"I'm here to call you since we'll be heading back soon." He replied.

"Ohh, I'm coming don't worry" i replied.

We then three of us started walking back towards the table where all were sitting including Ivan's Dad.

"By the way did i mention that you look beautiful tonight?" Ivan whispered in my ear.

"Hehe...thankyou." i whispered and smiled widely.

"Are staying for few days?" Ivan asked Ryan.

"No, we'll be flying back tomorrow afternoon." He replied.

"I would like to request you to stay here for a day and head back day after tomorrow afternoon since i want to spend more time with Liz."

Ivan requested as we reached our table.

This conversation was so sophisticated like two soon to be mafia kings making a deal.

Hehe...

Ryan was doubtful and i intervened.

"Please Ryan, i met Ivan after so long. Dad please help me" i showed my puppy eyes to dad and Ryan."

Ryan looked at dad for affirmation.

"Hmm..okay we'll stay tomorrow here only and will head back day after tomorrow." Ryan said.

I squealed and hugged Ryan.

"Thankyou".

He smiled at me and patted my head.

Me and Ivan exchanged numbers and we head back.

In the car i was so happy.

"Can you believe it dad, i met my only best friend!" I exclaimed happily.

"And damn, he's also a mafia king." I exclaimed to Ethan.

They all were smiling seeing me so happy.

In my car only dad, Ryan and Ethan were travelling.

Rest were in other car.

We reached the hotel.

Ivan proposed us to stay in his house but Ryan politely refused saying it would be a hustle to shift just for a day and it's okay.

As soon as i entered my room, tireness took over me.

I as quickly as i can changed my clothes and took a shower.

It was already 1 a.m.

As soon as i hit the bed, sleep took over me.

I woke up with constant knocking on my door.

I groaned and looked at the time.

It's only 8 a.m. Who is disturbing my sleep?

I begrudgingly stood up and trudged towards the door.

I yawned in the process and opened the door.

"Hey Bestie!" Ivan exclaimed extra cheerfully.

"Ahh... it's 8 a.m. Ivan. And Heyy" i groaned and replied back.

"Exactly it's 8a.m. and you're still sleeping. Valentinos have really spoiled you i must say" he said jokingly.

" heyy!! It is because your party was so tiring and long" i whined.

"Look at me,I'm so energetic. " he said.

"Then go and do your mafia woo doo stuff and come back later." I said and was in the process of closing the door when Ivan put a foot in between stopping it from closing.

"Not happening" he said and came in my room.

Or should i say barged.

"Tomorrow you'll be going back. So we have only today to enjoy." He said excitedly.

By now even my sleepiness was gone and suddenly i exclaimed excitedly,

"So what have you planned for today!"

"Hmm..first of all you'll get ready and then we'll have breakfast with your family before going out. And then we'll be going to......"

I was waiting paitiently for him to finish.

"then we'll go to..." he imcreased the suspense and got serious.

I nodded and signalled him to continue.

"I won't tell you!!" He said and quickly ran out before i could hit him.

Not before i heard his voice telling me to get ready quickly and come to the breakfast room of the hotel.

I shook my head at his silliness and closed the door.

I went through my belongings and found a perfect pair of mom jeans and a crop top along with a leather jacket.

It was a comfy outfit.

It took me 20 min to get ready all together.

I took my key card and locked the room and went towards breakfast room.

As soon as i entered, i saw group of my possessive brothers glaring at Ivan who is comfortably yet seriously talking with Ryan.

Ethan is missing here.

"Good Morning everyone" i greeted and i got a chorus of good morning in reply and i settled with them on table.

"Ryan where is dad and Ethan?"

I asked as i placed food on my plate that was kept on table.

"They headed back since we couldn't leave our business alone for this long." I nodded in understanding.

"So, Ivan, I'm all ready to go. Where are we going today?" I averted my attention towards Ivan.

"That is still a surprise for you shorty" he replied.

"Heyy....that's cheating. You said you'll tell me after I'll get ready and by the way, who else are going." I whined

"Only we both are going honey" ivan replied.

Before i could say anything,

"OH Hell no" Noah's voice interrupted.

"You alone are not going with her. I don't trust you." Dustin said.

"We'll go with her. We'll not leave her with you" Twins said.

I looked at Ryan for help.

"Quiet" Ryan's voice boomed.

"Ivan you can take her and i trust you with her safety" Ryan said to Ivan.

Before others could argue, Ryan gave them a look which shut them up.

"Thankyou and don't worry. She's like my sister too" he replied.

We had our breakfast with little conversations in between.

After that we head out in Ivan's car to somewhere.

It was a comfortable ride with happy conversations.

It was a 40 min ride and we were on a excluded area types.

But i trust Ivan.

"Here we are. Your surprise." Ivan said.

(There was a mistake here thankyou for pointing it. I wrote this chapter half sleeping)

I looked aroud the area where we stopped with my jaw open with happiness clearly twinkling in my eyes.

"No Way!! You brought me for Horse riding!!!"
