1510 Words
Just in a swift move, I did what I wanted and handed him back his phone. Damn... We're like a damn couple even if we don't have the 'thing' Viel just shook his head as he watched how my mood changed. " Hello there beautiful!... I'm back!" Viel's cousin announce loudly as he opened my room don't widely. Crisha was grinning behind him especially since she saw Viel on my side. I shook my head and chuckled. This crazy girl trying to play cupid. They get inside my room, Crisha and her cousins and Simon. Well, the world is just so small 'cause Looking at these people... We're just somewhat connected. Just like Sandro the cousin of my friend Crisha was the Secretary of Mr. Boromeo, and the assistant of Viel as well. And Simon, on the other hand, became also a friend to us and he's our cousin of Viel. " Here's your milk, sweety," Simon joyfully handed me a glass of milk while theirs are oranges. Viel stood up from my side as he talked with Sandro on the corner. "Thanks," I smiled at Simon. He slightly bent his body like a prince then he playfully winks at me. This guy is as jolly as Sandro I could say. By just observing them in my room. Mike was a jolly guy too, he was talking with Crisha and I saw how Crisha jokingly punch his arms. Only Sidro and Viel were seriously talking on the other side. " KC, if he's just an ice, then he'd be melting by now," Suddenly, Crisha is now on my side and whispered that. I glared at her when I heard her teasing laughs. " Shut it, Cha." I hissed. Viel was still talking with Sidro on the corner and the other hand, and Simon is now busy talking with Mike too. "What's up?" Crisha looked at me suspiciously as if I have to shred her information from me. I raised my brows at her " Hmm, he's damn hot KC... Perfect to be the one for you..."Crisha teased as he glance at Viel then it flew to Sandro this time. She puffs a breath. " Sandro would be staying here in Austin for a couple of weeks, I guess," She said and shrugged. Well, probably, it depends on his boss. We stopped when Melinda showed up at the door with my mother. My mother went to me before she looked at me. " Well, I would love to have dinner with you guys, so let's go...?" She happily announced. Everybody agreed then my mom turned to look at me, I was just sitting on my bed though. "Oh, that's lovely," My mother commented as her eyes found the bouquet of sunflowers with some bloody red roses on it then she looks at me. " From Viel?" She guesses. I nodded. My mother smiled as she shook her head then she spoke. " Well," She simply said then shrugged before she face them. "Food is waiting for us..." My mom announced as she held my elbow. I stood up as we went out of my room. Right after we reached the ground floor, I heard my dad's engine's car has arrived. Just after a moment, I saw my dad in his formal suit and he was with Brandon. They entered the room and they saw us. "Good evening sir," they greet my dad including Viel. "Good evening," answered as he nodded to all of us. " Good evening!" Brandon. "You're just on time, hon. Let's have our dinner, the food is ready." My mom said and the latter simply. nodded as they started to make their way into our spacious dining room, we followed them. We settled on our seats. Viel is seated beside me while Simon is on my left side while Crisha and her cousins and also Brandon were on the other side of our table and my parents were in the center. "Lemme," Viel mumbled in a husk as he put a portion of food on my plate. He was just serious as he was focused on attending to my food, hes even oblivious that everyone's eyes were following him. Even my dad was taken aback by his gestures and I could feel how my cheeks heated up, Crisha smirk and winks at me while watching Viel preparing food for me like a f*****g boyfriend's duty. " Viel, that's too much." I pulled the hem of his shirt but he didn't even listen to me. After that, he glances at me. " Eat now, Karina. " He said in a serious tone. While he put some food on his plate. A sudden hearty laugh came from my mom. "That's why I really like Viel, he's just so gentlemanly and of course a good man, right sweetheart?" My mom turned as she asked me. I bit my lips... Why does she have to ask me about that? I nodded simply as I started eating to hide the flush fave of mine. My mom nodded in satisfaction as she began eating. " Well, if my daughter got to have her first boyfriend----" my mom didn't finish her sentence when my dad cut her off. "Alora, your daughter is still young for that, and that's something that she shouldn't waste her precious time, she has to focus on her study." My dad stated in a serious voice. I bit my lower lip... It's so damn uncomfortable of I was the subject of their topic! My mother let out a giggle then she nodded. " I know that Hebron, she should be." She agreed while nodding. "The history of Cassidy's grandfather who is the deceased father of Hebron and the Aunts of Viel just made a scary history." My mom. Everyone at the table stopped as they became attentive. I was hella curious too. I saw that Viel was a bit curious about the story 'cause I could see his brows furrowed while waiting for what will my mother spill about the history she was talking about. "Alora," My dad looked at my mom. " Hebron, it happened decades ago I just want to share with them, though it was a tragic but inspirable one..." My mom stated in her sad voice. " I bet you already know about this, Viel?" My mom asked Viel with a small smile. I looked at Viel and he shook his head. " A bit." He answered shortly. "Oh, right" my mom. On the other hand, my dad continued eating While Crisha, I, and these men here were listening to my mom attentively. " Well, to make it short," my mom said then she paused for a couple of seconds. "Actually, the grandfather of Cassidy was the one who narrated it to us, he shared his heartbreaking past." "So this was where the story began, Alejandro III Tyson was a smart and good-looking man Wayback in his time. And there were these two girls' friends named Laida Gregory and Carmina Enriquez. Laida, She's Viel's aunt, and Carmina is Hebron's Mother that I'm talking about. " Laida fell in love with Sir Alejandro for the very first time she had laid her eyes on him, but then Destiny has its way because the moment Laida fell in love with him, that's also the moment Sir Alejandro fell in love with her best friend, Carmina." My mom said. I pursed my lips. That f*****g hurts big time. " And then, madame?" Crisha asked eagerly. While the others were very intrigued by the story. "Sir Alejandro loves Madame Carmina and luckily for them, the feeling was mutual." She continued. " It's just that, the other one was left rejected and broken," I frowned, that's a hella tragic for a love story. It's a love triangle and just thinking that the man you love was in love with your best friend is something unbearable pain. It didn't happen to me of course, no one would ever wish to have that kind of love story though. I looked at Viel, and just like my dad, he was just relaxed eating. I shook my head. I like this guy and by just the thought that he would love someone else in the future then I don't know what I'll do, after all, you can't just teach your heart to love someone else. My forehead creased as ai remembered something. When we were at Viel's late mom's old house, I heard that name from him... That one I've seen in the picture. But I was back in reality when I heard Brandon's voice. "Sir, madame, thanks for the dinner but I have to go," Brandon politely excused when he received a phone call. My dad simply nodded and my mom smiled and nodded too. " Take care, Brandon," I said. He turned to look at me and he smiled. " I will young lady." After he bid his goodbye to everyone, he walks out of the dining room until he disappeared from our sight.
