1102 Words
Julie bobbed her head as she listened to the music playing in the car.
She is looking out of the window as her dad is driving to the restaurant. She didn't have any plans so she decided to join and meet everyone.
"Is it a graphic t-shirt that you are wearing?" Gigi asked Julie.
"You are observing now?" Julie asked.
"I did in the morning but I forgot to ask."
"It's not a graphic T-shirt. It's a hand-painted t-shirt by me," Julie said looking down at her T-shirt.
"That's so good. I love that t-shirt. I will wear that t-shirt when you come home," Gigi said.
Anit shakes his head slowing the car as the traffic light turns red.
"I will make a new t-shirt for you but I'm not gonna give you my t-shirts," Julie said looking at her mum through the rare mirror.
Gigi turned her head, "why? Why can't I wear your t-shirt?"
"Because they are my clothes," Julie said.
"So? Can't I wear?"
"Girls... Stop the argument. You can wear whatever you like to wear. Anytime and anywhere," Anit said.
"Haha," Julie said leaning back in her seat.
"How much time till we reach the restaurant?" Gigi asked.
"Ten minutes," Anit replied.
"Did Grey call you, Julie?" Gigi asked.
"Nope, he sent me a text saying they are starting," Julie said.
"Good, all the parents and siblings of the boys will be there. Make new friends," Gigi said.
"Okay, I will see. If nothing is interesting I will leave," Julie said.
"Leave? Why would you leave? Be with us," Anit said.
"Nope, the only reason I'm coming is that I want to meet Grey. If nothing is interesting then I'm leaving."
"You said you will stay with us," Gigi said.
"Hotel rooms aren't my thing. I'm comfortable in my dormitory."
"Okay..."
Ace took a right turn as his phone started ringing. He answered the call and put it on speaker.
"Hello."
"Ace," Samuel said.
"Yeah, Samuel."
"Kaleb saw Maya and Sawyer. Diego came over to see you, he saw you leave with Maya and Sawyer. He doesn't know it was you but I feel like he has his doubts."
Ace sighed, "let it be, don't say anything. When the time comes I will meet them," Ace said.
"Okay."
"I will call you later and talk to you. I'm driving right now."
"Sure, call me when you are free," Samuel said.
"Okay."
Samuel ended the call, Ace didn't look at the phone and concentrated on his driving.
"Hmm, is Grey company's CEO is a billionaire?" Julie asked looking at the seven-star restaurant.
"He is, that's the reason he is a CEO and paying your brother," Gigi said.
"Yes, thanks for reminding. I need to ask Grey to buy me something," Julie said looking at her mother.
"Are we going to stand here all day or go inside?" Anit asked looking at his daughter and wife.
"Let's go inside, honey," Gigi said.
"Why do you two always have a conversation outside?" Anit asked walking towards the entrance.
"Why do mum always calls you honey? When you are not as sweet as honey?" Julie questioned.
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
"I'm sweet as honey while you are sour," Anit said.
"That I know," Julie said.
"Know what?" Gigi asked.
"That I'm the sour one because Grey is the honey," Julie replied.
"At least you agree on that," Anit said.
"Anit," Gigi said shaking her head.
They wandered inside, Anit showed the invitation and the person looked at Julie weirdly as she wearing shorts.
"That's why I told you to wear a dress or pants," Gigi said to Julie.
"I'm here to eat and I had no plans of joining," Julie replied smiling at the lady.
"This way ma'am and sir," the lady said showing them the hallway.
"Thank you," Gigi thanked.
"Thank you," Anit said.
Julie followed her parents into the hallway where the brunch is happening. She raised her brow when she saw the number of people present in the hall.
There were a lot of people. Her parents smilingly went towards the groups and started exchanging hi and hello's.
She stood there like a sour thumb as she didn't see anyone of her age.

"Haha, you were hot when you wear that expression while concentrating on the game," Julie said to Grey.
Grey rolled his eyes taking a sip of his coffee. "What? I'm not joking, Grey."
Julie took a bite of her pizza as she looked at Greyson.
Their parents are talking with Rhett's parents and Myles parents.
Julie met the boys, she got connected with Zeke and Kayden the most.
She looked at Maya and Sawyer who are talking with Grant's parents.
"So they are the CEO's of your team and company?" Julie asked in interest.
Greyson looked at Maya and Sawyer. "Partly," Greyson replied.
"Partly? What does that mean?" Julie asked turning her head.
"Brother Ace is the owner and CEO of our company and team," Greyson said.
"Brother Ace?"
Greyson nodded his head. "Maya is brother Ace's sister and Sawyer is his brother-in-law."
"So how old is your brother Ace? Fifty or forty?" Julie asked munching on her pizza.
Greyson couldn't control his laugh and he started laughing.
"What?"
"Look over there, Greyson is laughing," Rhett said.
Logan turned and looked at Greyson. "I never saw him laugh like that," Logan said.
"Yes."
"Come on, tell me why are you laughing like a stupid," Julie said.
"I just realised that you know nothing about eSports and teams," Greyson said.
"Shut up."
"Brother Ace is twenty-nine years old. He was a captain of Team Jaggers," Greyson said.
"Team jaggers? So where is he?" Julie asked.
"He was going to come but I don't know. Maybe he will be here soon," Greyson said.
"Why didn't I know about him?"
Greyson ate his pizza. "Because no one knows about him. He is a low-key person."
"Good."
Julie isn't interested in knowing this low-key man. She actually doesn't have any interest in gaming.
She is only attending these matches because of her brother.
"So why do you call him brother Ace?" Julie asked.
"Hmm, he is like a brother to us. From day one in India, he took great care of us. Never faked anything, we couldn't call him Ace. So we started calling him brother Ace."
"Do you need anything? I'm going for a refill," Greyson said standing up with his plate.
"Yup, can you bring me pasta in a bowl?"
"Sure."
Julie finished her pizza slice and started eating the other one while Greyson went to refill the plates.
