Crisha pulled me to where her cousins are sitting, while the other elders were busy discussing something. They are in their formal clothing, including me, only Crisha's wearing her swimsuit which is very out of place, it's not a big deal anyway, and we're very alike when it comes to breaking rules.
Crisha pulled my arms more when we were already near the couch where her cousins whose staring at us like hawk eyes, I noticed the two of them has a bad boy look, and the other one on the side was likely the serious one.
" Yow!" Crisha does a high five with one of his cousins, he looks jolly and friendly 'cause he smiled at me and pointed to the empty couch which is just in front of them.
" You didn't tell me that you got a beautiful friend here, Crish." Said the other one who also looks friendly. But I noticed that he has a resemblance to the other guy who's busy with his champagne.
" Oh, shut up Sandro, I know she's beautiful and you're not her type! "Crisha mocked while grinning at him, I was just watching them, it's pretty obvious that Crisha has a good relationship with her relatives even though she's known for being a spoiled daughter too. The guy named Sandro just shooked his head and laugh.
Afterward, Crisha pulled me in front of them and spoke.
" Here, by the way, KC.,'' Crisha looked at me and back to her cousins.
" This is Sandro Juanco, my cousin on my mother's side.'' She introduced me to this friendly-look guy who's now smiling at me.
I just nodded. Crisha excused me for a minute because she told me she'll get a drink after I made myself comfortable on the leather couch.
''Nice to meet you too," He said while chuckling and winked at me before he pointed to the guy who was sitting on the other side, the one who was busy with his champagne and he seems like in deep thought.
" That guy is my brother. Sidro Juanco, but he's currently exploring the space I guess so just don't mind him." He implied. oh, that's why they look alike.
Then put his arms around the neck of the other guy beside him. that guy look at me and smiled, he was holding a rubric cube and he was busy solving it a while ago.
" Hi, I'm Mike," He said and smack his arms of Sandro on his neck.
"Your brother too?" I asked them, they were busy
smacking each other like a kid. though, they are older than me.
" What?!' of course not. I'm way more handsome compared to this ugly asshole here." Sandro exaggeratedly shook his head and he received another smack from mike.
I chuckle as I watched them, I saw the guy named Sidro stand up as he put his phone on his ears, he was talking with someone as he walks away. I bet he didn't notice me.
I just shrugged and check my phone too,
I pouted when I scroll the contacts on my phone.
I pressed the button to call my mom. And I looked at those two in front of me who was now busy talking.
I excused myself before I strode my way out of the room.
" Where's Crisha?" I whispered as I looked around. But I focus on my phone when my mom answered the call after 5 rings.
"What is it, Cassidy?" I heard my mom's exhausted voice on the other line.
she may be in her office, it was just beside my dad's office in our mansion.
I checked my wristwatch. It's 2 p.m. I wonder if Viel called at home or something. or pass by the house.
" Hi, Mom. did Viel pass by?" I asked. I make It sounds like just a casual question.
I heard my Mom sigh and I could assume that she was massaging her forehead. they're always busy with our business.
" No, sweetheart." She answered on the other line.
I pouted. He's maybe busy? or what if he flew back to Seattle? for his work? but at least he should have told me beforehand.
I walked toward the veranda while talking to my mom.
"Is that it?" My mom asked. ' I'll hang up now, " she said, '' and by the way, be home early tomorrow we have something to talk about." she reminded me before she cut the call.
I put down my phone and sighed for the nth time.
I'll get his phone number tomorrow when I get home.
I rested my arms on the railings when I heard a voice of a man just a few steps away from me.
I looked in his direction and I saw the brother of Sandro. He's like a serious type of guy back in the room. Sidro is the name I remember. He was busy talking with someone on the phone that he didn't notice me.
" Yes sir, I already brought the medicine for allergies to the hotel where he's staying in, sir." He answered formally.
Oh? maybe that's his boss' and no. I'm not eavesdropping he's just near and I could hear his voice. Medicine for allergies? in my 16 years of existence, the good things are that I don't have any allergies when it comes to food. whoever he's talking about who got an allergy maybe accidentally ate it. or he intentionally ate it. if that's the case then he a goddamn stupid.
I shrugged and close my eyes, feeling the fresh air. the place turned silent and I can't hear the man's voice from behind me.
I tilted my eyes on my back to see if there was still someone there except for me, and I found the man standing a few meters away from me, and he was now looking in my direction with his brows knotted.
I arched my brow at him. As if on cue, he strode his way to where I'm standing, I rested my back on the railing while I was confused about why he was going in my direction.
He stopped when he was now in front of me as he put his phone in his pocket.
"Hi?' He greeted me and went beside me.
" Hi,' I replied.
Oh, I never expect he would try to have a conversation with me. I thought he was a snob since that's my first impression of him.
I
" You are KC, right?" He asked and glance at me while he rested his arms on the railings.
" Yes,'' I answered shortly and glance at him, I remember Viel, this man is a serious type too and handsome but of course, my Viel is way way more handsome than. You're being a bias, Karina.
" How old are you?'' He asked casually,
I don't feel awkward with him, maybe it's because he doesn't have any intention that other guys out there, he's not flirty.
" I'm 16," I said.
I caught him raising his brows as if he was surprised.
"I see, your looks deceive me," He let out a chuckle.
I know what he's talking about, maybe because I don't look like 16, 'cause I looked mature, especially in my body.
I chuckled. too.
''KC!" A high-pitched voice interrupts us, I bit my lips when I forgot about Crisha I was not supposed to stand here next to his cousin while having a convo.
" I was looking for you everywhere! Sandro told me that you went somewhere," she exclaimed as her suspicious eyes narrowed at me and her cousin. Her eyebrow lifted as she looked at me and her cousin like we did something unjustifiable.
" Oh, sorry, I just called mom," I said while showing her my phone.
She rolled her eyes and pulled me, " Bye cuz!" I yelled as she pulled me along with her. She poked the side of my belly which made me flinch.
" Crisha!" I exclaimed but she just rolled her eyes at me.
" I thought you're not interested, huh?'' she beamed at me with a teasing smile.
she maybe thought we were flirting. I sighed and walked past her, there's only one man that I want to flirt with.
