CHAPTER 1

LIZ'S POV

I'm waiting for my luggage at the baggage claim of the Vancouver International Airport. I've been in a plane for almost six hours, so now I'm pretty much exhausted and the only thing I want to do is grab my things and go to my comfortable hotel room. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned!

"Sorry miss Gillies, but there's something wrong with the reservation." The receptionist informed me looking at the computer in front of her.

"What do you mean problem?" I tried to be calm.

"See, I can't find your name on the list. Are you sure you booked a room?" She asked me raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah I'm sure I booked a room. Look, I've been in a plane for six hours and I have to go to my new set, because I'm here to shoot a movie...So, I'd really appreciate it if you could find me a room, now." I answered determined. I could feel my normally calm and pleasant demeanor slowly changing. I gave her a death glare and she immediately started looking again.

"I wish I could fix this and solve both of our problems here, but all of our rooms are full and we won't be able to find you a room until... Let me see... a week! I'm truly sorry!" The receptionist tried to sound compassionate but failed. "Would you like to stay at our lobby for a while? I'll call every other hotel to see if there's one available. Sorry again." She finally said.

"That would be great thank you!" I said and faked a smile.

I went straight to a big cream couch and let myself collapse. I was so tired and nervous and hungry. All I need is a nap. Everything would be great if I could take a nap but obviously, I can't. I leaned to the soft back of the couch and closed my eyes making an attempt to relax. That was when my phone buzzed. New message (1)

Jogia- Hey McGills! Did you land yet? Where r u?

I smiled reading his text and all of my anger vanished. I quickly replied to him: "Hey Jogia, I just got here. I have a small problem with my hotel room so, now I'm waiting at the lobby."

A minute had just passed and I got a new message from Avan.

Jogia: Is everything ok? Can I help?

Aw...Avan, always the same. Loves to help people and always worried about me. How sweet of him. I was about to start typing when I saw the receptionist waving at me. I stood up and went to her.

"Miss, unfortunately, I can't find anything available right now. I'm so sorry. Everything is booked because the holiday season just began." The lady told me. If a minute ago, I was mad now I'm furious. Before I could even open my mouth and starting swearing I took my luggage and stormed out of the hotel without saying a word. I took a cab to drive me to a cafe or something. Actually, I didn't really know where I wanted to go, I just wanted to leave. I took my phone out of my bag and replied to Avan who must have been waiting for my answer.

"It seems that I have a huge problem now. I can't find a room. And that my friend, is not a good first impression on Canada!"

Jogia: Shut up :P If you need a place to stay, you can always stay with me. I'll be here for at least a week.

He can't say that. He just asked me to stay with him? And his family? Wouldn't that be weird? I mean, what can I say, "Hey Avan's parents I'm a girl who had (and might still has) a crush on your son? OH! I forgot. I also have a boyfriend and he has a girlfriend!" What would Zoey say about this?

AVAN'S POV

What have you done Avan? You've just invited the girl you like to stay with you for a week. Under the same roof. In nearby rooms. Separated with just a wall. How could you resist her. You hardly accomplish that when you spend time with her for a couple of hours.

McGills: Thank you Avan, but I can't. Your parents will be there. I don't wanna upset you all and get in your way.

Without even thinking I answered. "I wouldn't ask you to come over if I was thinking that 'you'll get in our way', silly. Except that my parents will go to London for 3 or 4 days, to visit my brother. So, don't worry about them. I won't take "no" as an answer. I'll pick you up. Where are you?". Ok... I basically told her that it will be just the two of us. Way to go Avan! Nothing's gonna happen, though. We're just two friends helping each other. I have a girlfriend and she has a boyfriend. What could possibly go wrong? We are adults and we can control ourselves. At least, I think I can, cause I don't think Liz likes me that way.

McGills: I'm in a cab right now. Send me the address. :)

She said yes! Yes! Yes! I can't believe that's happening. I have to cool off. I sent her my address and went to the kitchen where my mom was making lunch.

"Hey mom." I said and went to sit next to her on the counter. "That smells great." She turned her head to face me and looked at me with a strange smile on her face.

"Why are you so happy?"

"I can't be happy because my mom is an excellent cook?" I asked her with an innocent grin.

"Well you definitely can...but I know you so well, Avan honey. Was that Liz you were texting?" I looked at her and then started laughing uncontrollably.

"You moms really know everything, don't you?" Was the only thing I got to say in between laughs.

"I was right once more then!" She joked.

"Yes you were. I was talking with Liz. She's here to shoot a movie and she had a problem with her hotel room. That's why I asked her to stay here." I simply told my mom, without looking in her eyes. I was ashamed. She knew that and I knew what she would say to me. "How'd you know that I was happy because of Liz?" I asked her out of curiosity.

"Hmm! Maybe because you have that face..." She pointed at me smiling and continued. "...when you talk to her, or when you talk about her, or when someone else's talking about her, or when you're with her...Do you want me to continue?" She challenged me raising an eyebrow. I nodded my head in refuse.

"Ok! Ok! I got it! Does it show?"

"I'm your mother Avan. I know everything..." She winked at me.

"I know you think that's wrong but..."

"Baby, you don't have to say anything to me. Do what makes you happy. It's in your hand. I won't judge you and I'll stand by you, whichever decision you take." She cut me off.

"But I don't know what's the right decision... I don't want to hurt anyone." I said in a whisper looking down at the brown carpet.

"I know. That's why you have to be careful. Zoey is a nice girl, but you know how much I love to see that beautiful smile on your face. You don't smile like that when Zoey is around..." She opened the oven to check on the food. "That's enough. When is Liz coming over?"

"In a few minutes, I guess..." I couldn't finish my sentence because I heard a car pulling over at my front yard. I immediately went outside to see Liz paying the taxi driver who was taking her stuff out of his trunk. I approached her just as soon as the taxi left my house.

"Avan!" She almost screamed when she saw me.

"Where's my girl?" I told her wrapping my hands around her waist and started spinning her around. She hugged me back and placed one hand around my neck and the other through my hair. I loved it when she did that.

"I'm so happy to see you, Jogia." She said when I left her down. "I really appreciate it. Thank you for letting me..." She stopped talking when I placed my index finger on her lips.

"Liz, we've talked about it! Stop saying 'thank you' all the time. I wanted you to come here!" She looked up at me and I realized I still had my finger on her soft lips. I didn't want to take it away from there. I just wanted to feel what her lips look like now...

"Oh, sweetheart you came!" My mom yelled from the door and interrupted us. Liz lightly shook her head and went to hug my mom. I took her baggage and left it right beside the door, in the hall. My mom and Liz were talking and laughing. It seems like they really enjoy each other's company.
