XXIII: Lake

Russ arrived at the place, searching for them. Elizabeth's eyes went towards Michael and Anna who was busy whispering and smiling at each other. Her eyes went to Russ who went to approached her instead. 
She smiled and proceeded to walk towards him. She guided him back to the table where the two were busy talking to each other. 
Anna tore her eyes too when she saw Michael's gaze turned away from staring at her. Her eyes went to looked at Russ who arrived a bit late with bruises on his face. Her eyes softened when she spotted the fresh cut on the side of his chin. 
“What happened? Are you alright?” She asked him. She just asked what he did he just ignored it and then told her that he'll order.
“Dude, are you okay?” Michael asked him. 
Russ was taken off from his cold expression and his mouth moved. 
“I got a fight with him.” He told him the truth. He then made a gesture that he'll go towards the other side and excused himself from the two of them. 
“And you'll just stay quite and keep it all to yourself again?” Anna can't help but to ask Russ. 
Julianna stared and tried to tell her opinion. Russ suddenly halted and glared for a bit and Michael's eyes gave Russ a look. He then shook his head when he saw his pal he walked away and head to the counter to order.
Michael then stared at Julianna and smiled. “It's okay.” He assured her.
“Right.” Julianna smiled back and her expression changed. Calm then rush back into her when she met his gaze. 
Michael lightly tapped her hand and she stared at it before her eyes went back to his eyes. 
It's always been his eyes that has such a great pull that she can't help but to stare. His soft gaze and the shimmer on the scelera of his eyes. It's brings a different trigger of emotions, a trigger that she genuinely liked and care about. 
Michael showed her a beaming smile and push his paper on the aside. “So...” He started. 
“Why don't we check down there and see the view on a much better vision.” He told her. His eyes were pointing on the lake down below. 
Anna smiled and her eyes changed. Glimmer was present and then she nodded her head off. “Shall we? I really want to take photos for myself.” She added.

They head down. The grass were a bit soft and lush and she cannot help but to stare down. 
“You can't take your shows off, Anna.” Michael reminded her. 
She stared at him and nodded her head gently. “I know. I'll probably pricked my feet and it will be torture to get it off. This is not all grass in here.” She told him. 
They stopped when they reached the lake and both of them stared at tge waters. 
“Should we ride the boat?” Her eyes landed on the small wooden boat that is just near them. The others were scattered on the different sides of the lake. 
“What if there were crocodiles?” Michael uttered. 
She smiled. “It might be possible. But we aren't that sure.” She chuckled and she stared at the water lilies that were present before she then took a photo.
She moved her phone before the camera was pointed in front of Michael. Anna smiled when she saw his figure in her camera and the latter smirk when he immediately figured out what she was doing. 
She wasn't taking a photo anymore, she was capturing a video of him standing in front of her. Before she clicked the shutter and took a pic of Michael who now purposely made himself looked busy as he was staring at the water. He moved his body and happily stared at the camera's lenses. 
Then his eyes moved before he stared at her and looked back at the camera and smiled. Julianna was smiling too when he was doing the same thing. She moved herself and took a pace towards him moved her phone before she then took a photo of the two of them.
They both smiled at the camera before she scooted near him. Both faces were inches closer towards each other, their cheeks were almost touching before they had the same expression. They looked at the cam happily. 
The other was on the tree, leaning and was closing his eyes. He was standing, enjoying the wind that passed through before he opened his eyes and stared at the two near the lake. 
He was smirking before Anna caught sight of him behind the camera. She turned and stared at him. His demeanour completely changed now. She ignored the feeling and she frowned at him instead before she moved her chin and looked away. 
Russ uttered something. Anna hears it, making her turned her head at him. 
She looked at him and told him. “You were mad, what do you want me to do?” She replied. 
He then smiled and straightened himself from his position before je then speedily ran towards them. He went to Michael's side and wrapped his arm on top of Michael's shoulders. Michael was smiling and before his eyes went back to Anna. Anna then looked at Russ who looked had the beaming smile similar to that of a cute furry friend. Anna moved her hand they took a photo. All three of them were smiling at the camera.
After the photo she then went back to staring at the lilies and took a lot of snaps. 
“I have an idea.” Julianna spoke before she told him about making the spog a reference for their video presentation. 
Michael uttered how he was in agreement to her suggestion. He went near her and Michael then handed her his phone when she asked for it since the camera quality is high.
She was busy taking care of the angles, and taking photos when Michael started to make suggestions. 
She was nodded her head at him. 
Michael then uttered. “Take a selfie of you.” 
Anna slowly lowered her phone and stared at Michael. She smiled at him and nodded hrr head. 
“Just me?” She asked. 
His eyes softly stare at her. “Yes, just you.” He told her. 
She smiled at him before she took a selfie using his phone. When Russ then handed her phone. 
“I want a photo of you too.” He inserted in a playful way. 
She grimaced at him. Then her expression changed. She smiled at him. “Eww.” She replied. 
The latter just chuckled as a response.
