Visitor from Last Night

Chapter 8

Hi kitties

Alicia

"Who wants this cookie?" I asked Romeo and he barked and I chuckled. I gave the cookie to him, and he started to eat it and I chuckled.

"My Romeo is so cute." I said and petted him, and he wagged his tail.

"You are spending a lot too much time with Romeo and that too, without me." I heard Brandon's voice and looked at my behind and saw him.

"Come on, join us." I said, and he went and petted Romeo. For the past few days I have been feeling weird. Whenever he is near me, I feel my heart race a bit faster than usual. I feel happy, but at the same time, I don't want to be happy when my heart flutters. I really want to adore him from afar, but my heart is already adoring him. I know that he is out of my reach, yet I want to give him my heart. I know I have started to like him and I hate to admit it. But I like it. As long as he is here with me, I have the right to like him even if he doesn't like me.

Sometimes I find it odd, even though I have read some of the stories where strangers fall for each other, and I am seeing this applying over here only, but isn’t that just one-sided and, after all, we have known each other for only two weeks and he is a businessman. I doubt that he will like someone like me.

Romeo again barked and I smiled. His bark had brought me out of my daze. I still remember the day when my twin and I had saved a puppy and wanted to take care of him, but dad had f*******n us just because he was allergic to him. We even hid it but after a week my father found it out and gave both of us a long lecture and handed the puppy to one of our guards. But when he used to sneeze it was entertaining for us. I know that it is pretty wrong to get yourself entertained with that, but it used to be really fun. From then on, we never really kept any puppies and the golden retriever was my favorite breed and my brother liked it too. Our choices sometimes differed, but most of the time were the same.

"I remember that one of my friends really liked this breed, but he couldn't keep it." Brandon said, and I came out from what I had been thinking.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Because his father was allergic, and he had f*******n them from keeping a dog." He said it matched the same problem as my father's. Could it be possible that he knows Cullens? It could be possible because Cullens is also a popular company and if he knows, then why am I shocked? It is not like that this can’t be possible.

"Oh, that sounds familiar to one of my situations. What is your friend's name?" I asked him.

"Alfredo Cullen" He said, and I looked at him blankly for a while. He knows my brother.

"Oh…you seem close to the Cullens." I asked him and he nodded.

"My father made a deal with them two years ago, and now we are partners. And Alfredo was really helpful throughout the project. We became friends during that process. He is like a best friend to me now." He said and I smiled. I am glad that my brother has got someone sensible.

"It is great that you are friends." I said, and he nodded.

"We are friends, but sometimes I think that there is something which is bothering him. One day, I asked him, but he didn't tell me everything, just said that there was someone who was near to him, in fact part of him, but because of something, she left him. I don't know who she is. But I hope that he finds her soon." He said and I smiled. He is really thinking about him even though they had met only two years ago. I like it. But I am sad for my brother. There used to be days when we couldn't live without each other, not even for a single minute, even though sometimes we used to fight. But, for the last two years, neither I have ever met him nor even talked with him. I also want to meet him, but sometimes I wonder if he even considers me as his sister or not. After all, in our home, our father’s words used to be absolute and each one of us had to follow them, but I was the only one among them who had raised their voice against our father.

But I really hope that soon I can meet him and talk with him like I used to do.

"I also hope that he gets her back for whom he is looking for." I said, and he smiled.

"You know that I like that thing about you. You have a big heart which is very rare to see. Even though I am a stranger to you, then also you let me in and gave me shelter inside your house, and you are even caring about my friend whom you haven't met yet." He said and I smiled. Because that friend of yours is my brother.

"Well, let me put it more clearly. You are not a stranger to me now. I know you and you know me and we know something more about each other, so we are basically friends now, and I could really pray for you if I want and, by the way, he is your friend and I think he must be like you, so for good people we should pray." I said.

"So am I good?" He asked and I nodded.

"As much as I know, you are good." I said, and he smiled.

"I don't think that I will ever forget you." He said.

"I also don't think that." I said, and we laughed and Romeo laughed. It is really cool to have someone inside your house who has a different personality, but some qualities are the same. I was petting Romeo and Brandon was also doing the same and Romeo was wagging his tail. He turned on his back and took out his tongue and was looking at us, looking, and we petted him more.

"By the way, Brandon, have you fallen for any girl?" I asked him and he smiled. His smile was kind of shy. I think he has someone whom he cherishes. She must be a hell lucky girl. I said to myself.

"Yeah." He said, and my heart stopped beating for a few seconds. Had he really fallen for someone? I am curious to know about her.

"Who is she?" I asked him and he smiled.

"She is very beautiful from the inside out and even though I have not known her for months, I feel like I have known her for years. When she smiles, I feel heaven is on the ground and when she giggles, it always flatters my heart. She is also a good cook, but sometimes I feel like making something for her." He said, and I could only imagine the girl without a face. I am really envious of this girl. I want to meet her and compare her with myself. If I or she is capable of Brandon. Then I realized what I thought. I think this is very childish. I really was thinking about something which I shouldn't. He likes her and there must be some good qualities in her and I looked at myself and found no good qualities in me. I sighed.

"I want to meet your girl." I said, and he chuckled.

"I hope soon I will be able to make you meet her." He said and I nodded.

"Do you love someone?" He asked, and I wanted to say yes and point at him because he is someone who had for the first time disturbed my heart, but he is already someone. I can't snatch him from her. I shook my head.

"No. I didn't find any guy with whom I could fall in with." I said, and looked over at Romeo, who was looking at me, and I found it very cute.

"So what is your type of guy?" He asked.

"I really can't say what my type is because I never got the chance to date someone. But I think I would appreciate a few qualities in him and those will be his gentleness, warm heart and kindness. And if I didn't get one, then see this little Romeo. I will spend the rest of my life with him." I said and took Romeo in my hand and pressed his cheek and my cheek against each other and Brandon laughed, and I laughed when I saw him laughing carefree.
