To Be His Underboss

ONE | AMARA AND LIAM'S CHILDHOOD (THE ROOT OF ALL)

Amara Greyson and Liam Hilton's parents had been best friends since high school. While Amara and Liam had known each other since they were babies.

~Flashback~

Precy: Stella, have you met Peter? The new student?

Stella: No, I haven't seen anyone new around here.

Precy: He's cute, you should go and talk to him.

Stella: No thank you, you can have him.

Precy: Are you serious? You know I have Greg, GREG HILTON.

Stella: Alright alright, what's the new student's name again?

Precy: Peter, Peter Greyson.

Stella: Alright. Got that in mind. ~wink~

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Precy: So....How's the class? Did you talk to Peter?

Stella: Of course......

Greg: .....not.

Precy: Girl, are you even serious? Don't you have any plans to get married someday?

Stella: I'll just wait for him to talk to me. What if he has a girlfriend?

Greg: Well, I could obviously tell he doesn't have one. Why don't you try to look straight ahead?

Stella: Ho.......w?

Peter: Hi...I'm new here, my name's Peter Greyson.

Precy: Hi, this girl right here, beside me, is Stella, she is pleased to meet you. Btw, I'm Precy, and this is my man, Greg.

Peter: Pleased to meet the three of you. Hey Stella, you look ravishing~

Stella: Nice to meet you Peter... Greyson

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Greg and Stella eventually fell in love and began dating, just like any other couple.

Following their graduation from Stanvard University, the couples decided to marry.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Precy: So when do you guys plan to have babies?

Stella: Maybe a year after your child is born.

Precy: Stella, do you want me to beat you up? I'm just a month pregnant. I want our kids to be bestfriends too. ~pout~

Greg: Btw, Stella and Peter, we would like the both of you to be the Godparents of our child, would that be okay with you?

Peter: Man, I love that idea, I think I wanna be a dad too...soon. You and your wifey would be the Godparents as well. ~fist bump~

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Four years later, Amara and Liam were both toddlers. They snatch things from each other's hands, throw things in each other's faces, and most likely yell in each other's faces.

Amara: You ugwee!!!

Liam: No!!!! You ugwee, I pweeetyyyyy.

Amara: Geev me back my doww!!!

Liam: I'm not even touchiw it!!!

Precy: These kids are so chaotic....*chuckles*

Stella: *chuckles* I know.... They grow up so fast. Your son looks so much like Greg, btw.

Precy: Your daughter is so pretty.......like me.

*chaotic laughter*

Greg: Our kids should start attending school.

Peter: I know, but your kid has to go first, He's older.

Greg: I know man, I know.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

After a few more years, the kids began to learn a lot, as they were always together, beginning with learning how to speak, read, draw, brush their teeth, and a variety of other skills.

On this particular day, Precy and Stella, enrolled Liam and Amara on a swimming school. The kids were both very eager to learn and to enjoy as well. As you expected it to be, it did actually turn into a disaster, Liam and Amara turned the whole swimming school into a chaotic mess. It's like the school has turned upside down with all the kids splashing the water to each other's faces.

Stella: I can't believe this is happening right now.

Precy: Looks like our kids took after me....

Stella: I really hope this school won't kick our kids out....

Precy: Oh Stella, trust me they won't.

Stella: And how are you so sure they won't?

Precy: Oh of course I know, just trust me. ~wink~

[ a few moments later ]

Amara: Mom!! Mom!! Wook!! I took Wiam's showts!! *adorable laughter*

Liam: AMARA!! Give that back!! I can't get out the pool with just my underwear!!!

Stella: Oh Gosh..... Amara, give that back to Liam, now.

Amara: But mom....

Precy: Oh come on, Stella, let the kids play around.

Amara: The first one to get the towel will get to eat the Cotton Candyyyyy!!! BYE LIAAMMM!!!

Stella: Precy, you are the one responsible if my daughter grows up to be a spoiled girl I promise.

Precy: Sure girlie, I am proud to be responsible if your daughter grows up with girl power.

Stella: Wait what? Alright alright I like that.

Precy: Mwah~

Liam: Just the nugget?

Amara: No, I'll take your fwies too.

Amara: Alwight. Just take one. JUST ONE.

Precy: That's the girl power I'm talking about.

Stella: Well, your son's a gentleman, impressive.

Precy: I'm the mom, so of course, that's guaranteed.

Stella: We should head home, our husbands probably are very bored now.

Precy: Let me finish this drink, then let's head home.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Meanwhile, Stella and Precy are having this conversation.

Stella: My daughter really grew up to be like you.

Precy: What do you mean?

Stella: Last night, I was taking her to bed, and as I was about to get out, she called me and asked me if I could read her a bedtime story.

Precy: Andd....?

Stella: I just read her a bed time story. She literally wanted me to read her another one and do you even know how long the book was? A HUNDRED AND FIFTY PAGES.

Precy: And then what happened?..*uncontrollable laughter*

Stella: And then she said "PwEaaaSSEee" then, I told her fine and made her pick out another book. The bottle of wine on the counter was totally screamin my name last night.

Precy: Uhuh... and then?....*wheezing*

Stella: She chose the HUNDRED AND FIFTY pages book AGAIN. And then she just said "But I wike it", so ofcourse I said fine. After that, as I read the first sentence of the book, she was fast asleep, so I slowly put the book down, turned the lights off then as I was about to get out the door, SHE WOKE UP AND TOLD ME THAT I DIDN'T FINISH THE BOOK.

Precy: *Chaotic laughter*

Stella: I'm so pissed, I had to finish the whole book again for the second time. This is not the first time this happened this is her 100th or maybe I could say the thousandth she did this.

Precy: *Choking on her laughter* I totally relate to you... SOOO... Yesterday, I went grocery shopping with my son Liam.Then.., as we got out the store, he saw a man with "cool shoes" so he went on and asked him "WhAt aRe ThOsE?"

Stella: Looks like it's my turn to laugh now. *giggles*

Precy: Then, the man went on and said "Oh, these are my sneakers". Then Liam told me that he really likes them and asked me if he could get one. So I told to stop talking to strangers and he doesn't even wanna listen to me. So the stranger just went on and told me that my son just asked them about their shoes. So I told Liam that he has piles of shoes at home and he just continued begging me to get him one.

Stella: *wheezing*

Precy: I told you, you're not alone. Btw, then, I told Liam "NO" then this man proceeds to tell me that their shoes are great, comfortable, and THE WATER DOESN'T GET TO THEIR FOOT AND THEY DIPPED THEIR WHOLE SHOE INTO THE PUDDLE. And of course my son Liam did that too. His shoes weren't waterproof. I HAD TO WASH THEM AT HOME.

Stella: *Contagious laughter*

Precy: These kids are causing us so much stress I swear.

Stella: That's exactly who you are, they took after you. *wheezing* Oh and btw, there's this one time my daughter was very much like you like an EXACT COPY OF YOU.

Precy: Alright spill the tea. I bet she negotiated with you the way I always do.

Stella: The story gets better.....Here we go... I asked her to go down to take a nap cause it was afternoon, then she answered me " No, Fankyou mom I'm good." I wasn't asking her a question. I WAS TELLING HER.

Precy: Go on....*Another wheezing noises*

Stella: Then she answered a small and simple "No". It wasn't an equal partnership, I tell her what to do. Then she said that she wasn't really that tired. So, I told her to please go down and take a nap. THEN SHE ASKED ME IF SHE COULD HAVE SOMETHING IF SHE DID.

Precy: Totally me.

Stella: What is she a HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR?? I can't, I just I can't, but I gave in and told her, fine, she can have any candy that she wants from the counter when she wakes up. THEN SHE ASKED ME "ALL OF IT?" Then, of course I said no, not all of it! And she could only have 3. Then she said 5 then I said 3 then we ended up arguing about that for a good straight 30 minutes.

Precy: Your daughter is a very good negotiator. *Inaudible laughter*

Stella: Kids can be annoying sometimes, but I'm jealous of them.

Precy: Why would you be jealous of kids?

Stella: They have no problems, they can do whatever they wanna do, and they are so pure.

Precy: You have a good point. I kind of miss our childhood days now.

Stella: Do you remember when Amara made bracelets and gave to us and your son Liam gave us letters? These kids can be very adorable sometimes.

Precy: I know, but time flies so fast, we would barely notice, just a few more years they'll be teenagers and eventually they won't be like the way they used to be anymore....

Stella: That's how life goes I guess, we have to accept it, they'll grow old and when they have their own families, we won't be that significant to their lives anymore.

Precy: Well, I hope that won't happen..

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

[ 7 years later ]

Dimitri: Do you have a pink hoodie? We girls should match sometimes.

Amara: I like pink, I think we should.

Britanny: But, I hate pink. Can we choose another color?

Dimitri: Nevermind, let's just change plans, what if we wear dark blue shirt tomorrow?

Amara and Britanny: Sure!!

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

[ The next day ]

Liam: Oh, what a coincidence, I'm wearing dark blue too.

Amara: Wow, me and my girls actually planned to match today. Dark blue shirts.

Liam: Alright, I'll take you to your class before the bell rings, hurry.

Britanny: Hi Liam, looks like you matched with us.

Dimitri: This is great, Dark Blue Shirt Day. *giggles*

Britanny spilled her Spaghetti all over Dimitri and Amara during the break. Dimitri has an extra shirt, which is a good thing, but Amara....

Britanny: Oh My Gosh!! Girls I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to.

Amara and Dimitri: It's alright Britanny.

Amara: We know it's unintentional. *Genuine smile*

Dimitri: I'll go change my shirt. Come on Amara let's go to the restroom.

Amara: I uhm actually don't have an extra shirt, do you have a spare one?

Dimitri: Girl, I'm so sorry I only have one, I'll ask my sister if she has an extra.

Amara: Thank you Dimitri..

Liam: What happened?

Amara: Nothing just an accident. Do you have an extra shirt?

Liam: No, I don't have one, do you want me to call your mom?

Amara: No, it's okay I don't wanna disturb her. I'll be fine with this.

Liam: But your shirt is so sticky..

Amara: No, I...

Some guy: I have an extra shirt, here you can keep it.

Amara: Thank you!!!

Amara tried to make the guy hear her appreciation, but he walked away too fast.

Britanny: Looks like Liam and I are the only one matching today.

Dimitri: Sadly..

Amara: Do you guys know him?

Dimitri: Who? The guy that gave you that?

Amara: Yeah...

Dimitri: Well... no, he looks great tho..

Amara: I totally agree with that.

Liam: What about me?

Britanny: Of course you are handsome, no more questions needed.

*awkward laughter*

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Some other dude: Woah, I thought you hated people touching your stuff.

The random guy: Well, I couldn't help it, I just felt like I needed to help her.

The other dude: Sure, if you say so...

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Another few years passed, and they were in the high school, which is when their lives truly began. Would it actually be better or would they want to go back to their childhood?
