" You gotta be kidding !" Samuel yelled out in frustration.
" Did you tell my mother?" He asked his team. Steve and the others needed to be more knowledgeable about what he was discussing.
" No one inford the madam. We were waiting for you here!" Jane asked.
" How did she know then? Wait what about the police then?" Samuel finally noticed the anomaly. Who inford the police? He thought it was so passerby but was their response ti that impressive that they assembled dozens of officers? Besides, gang mbers would never snitch on themselves, right?
" Police? I didn't see anyone informing them. Maybe they did it in secret, you should ask Enrique about it." Samuel looked around to see that his aunt was sneaking glances at him. It was obvious who the culprit was!
" So that's why she said sorry earlier!" He marched toward her.
" Why? Can't you wait few hours before informing them?"
" Don't bla ! They asked to do it. It was your fault to begin with." She defended herself.
" Still, It's bad!"
" Why are you freaking out? When I talked to her she was pretty calm?"
" It's not about that, she want to bring.."
"???"
"She wants to et Liliana and Rosaline."
" That's a good thing right? But who is Rosaline?" Alia was out of the loop. She only t Liliana today and knew about the nature of their relationship.
" Rosaline is, how do I say it, soone I am involved with?"
" What? Don't tell you- what happened to you!" Alia was lost for words. Samuel, she knew, would never do sothing like this. Moreover, she had been hearing chatter about Maia and the others too.
" It's complicated, that is why I don't want to introduce them yet."
" Well, you have to take care of your sses. Beside, I know how she is. She will visit them personally if you refuse her request."
" That what I am fearing the most. I want to be there to smooth things over. I guess I don't have a say in this matter." Seeing Samuel's dejected face, Alia suggested sothing.
" Why don't you co with today? You know kids are revolting since morning when I ntioned you were in town."
" Yeah It's been few months since I visited them. Right, are you going next week for the birthday party?"
" Yeah, I would have asked you to travel together but you have lot of things on your plate."
" That would be for the best. I should discuss with Liliana before leaving." Samuel was walking away when Alia called out to him.
" Hold up! What about Maia, Paris, and Iblis, who have been staying at your ho?" Alia had a gut feeling about asking about it.
" About that-"
" Wow, I know now why you forgot about visiting ! Forget it! I don't want to get into your personal business. I had enough for today."
" Please don't tell anyone about it. The girls will kill if they knew that you knew."
" I am not a blabber mouth."
His aunt was very perceptive much more after she beca a mother; he got away from her before she fished out more of his secrets. It was not like he wanted to hide it; it was just too embarrassing to talk about it.
Walking over to Enrique's house, Daniel inford him they were still inside talking about it. It would probably take so ti before they were done, so he called Maia.
" Where are you? It's been a whole day! We were so worried about you!" He got an earful as soon as the call connected. He rembered their faces when he left this morning.
" I am fine. Few things happened but fortunately I sorted it out."
" Good, what ti are you coming back then? We were thinking about making you sothing." Maia said.
" I make an pasta, but it taste better when warm." Iblis said from the side.
" I can mix so drinks to go along with it." Paige knew nothing about cooking but could only suggest such a thing.
" I appreciate the offer but don't you rember what happened the last ti you got drunk."
" Fuck you! Don't remind of that."
" Yeah, I am still sore."
" I also have trouble sitting down."
" You know I can hear you right? I am sure it was not my fault, you were in my room rember?"
" Do you really want to do this over the phone?" Maia shut it all down. They would have to be on the phone all night if they went that route.
" Right, I was calling to let you know I will not be coming ho tonight. I am going over to my aunt's house."
" What?"
" I am sorry. It sort of happened; I will be back tomorrow." Samuel was about to hang up the phone; he could see Liliana coming out of the house.
" Wait! I have to tell you sothing."
" Yes?"
" We were going to London in a week. You know for the celebration, Aunt Laura called few hours ago."
" Right. So?"
" We should go together."
" That may be a little difficult. I will tell you about it in person."
Samuel's hesitation was clearly felt by Maia. She decided to leave it alone for now, but he better gives a good reason why he was refusing them.
On the other hand, Samuel was screaming in his head; now he had to worry about the eting with his mother and the girls getting back together. How would Iblis and others react after eting Liliana and Rosaline? Only ti will tell?
" What are you spacing out for?" Liliana ca and asked him.
" How did it go?"
" I can't believe I am saying this but for years I wanted to punch my brother on the nose now I would be satisfied with a elbow to the chin."
" Don't you think you are becoming more violent day by day. On the different note, I am glad it worked out."
" Thanks to you. I am grateful but don't do sothing this stupid again alright? Discuss with first, before visiting my father."
" Why he feels like a chill dude?" Samuel said earnestly.
" Chill dude? Only soone like you would say such a thing after eting him." Liliana was baffled by his description.
" Why what do people usually say?"
" psychopath? Crazy? Insane? these are few colorful things I heard when I brought my school friends and that was when he was ta and hid his 'job'."
" Well I get along just fine with your father. Much better than I anticipated."
" It ans you both are cut from the sa cloth. Should I start calling you 'papi' too?" She bit her lower lip, giving him the 'look.'
" Really? We are already delving into kinky stuffs? I really don't mind, I find it sexy when you speak xican."
" I will keep it in mind." She wrapped her arms around his. But sweet monts didn't last for long.
" I also have to tell you sothing. But before that Are you free next week?" He asked.
" I don't know I have to check-"
" Get rid of everything. I am taking you soplace just be prepared for it." He interrupted her. He knew what was at stake if he failed to bring her.
" Why? Aren't you going to tell ?"
" It's just don't freak out. We are going to London, I am taking you to attend a birthday party."
" That's it?"
" Also I am taking Rosaline too."
" Good luck with that, I heard her father was very mad when he found out her lying to him. Seeing your daughter on television attending a strange event with even stranger man? I don't think he would be up for it again." Rosaline had told Samuel about so of it, but he didn't know it was that bad. Well, as a last resort, he could kidnap her.
" I will take care of it. You are also coming with , I need your support when I break these news to them."
" But I don't want to! Her father is weird about her, also he has a lot of guns. I don't want to die so soon." Liliana joked, but Samuel had personally experienced it. This ti he might not be so lucky.
" I am serious, you don't know what's at stake if I don't bring you two!"
" Woah, you are scaring now! What are you not telling ? I watched too many horror films to know I shouldn't go with you."
" Movies? It's much scarier than that, you will et my family especially my mother. Also do you rember the girls that you I told you about? They will be there too." It was not an exaggeration to say a Rothschild's birthday party is always grandiose.
" Hahaha, why are you so worried about that? You already t my family, how bad is your family going to be? Unless they cast out because I am not from so rich family."
" That is the one thing I am certain will not happen but they would drown you with questions."
" Relax you are overthinking it. and Rosaline will be fine, if you are that worried about it we could postpone the eting."
" If you do that, my mother will directly search for you. She is a bit impulsive like that."
" Huh?"
" I will tell you about it later. I have to go now, It's getting late."
" Wait! Don't leave hanging why would she do that?"
She never got an answer for it. It did make her curious about the type of woman Samuel's mother was. Guess she would be found about it in the future.
