Chapter 21 Teasing
The flight was quiet, after what happened at his house I just wanted to go home and rest even though I slept for a long time. No one speaks and I try not to look back at his behavior. It's only dyes in the morning so I'm sure uncle is still there, I don't know what they'll think now that Zeke and I are together.
When the gate finally opened we could almost see the various vehicles, almost all of which were familiar to me. It's too early for them to take a vacation here, what's the reason for them to go?
"Stop the car near the back." I cling to it as I look around.
"Ha why?"
"Just stop." I whispered.
I heard nothing from him, he immediately stopped the car next to my brother s car which I really didn t want to be here. I didn't say goodbye to Zeke and got out of the car immediately. I left it and hurriedly circled to the back as it would penetrate a staircase to the top and the long hallway leading to the living room. I was about to touch the doorknob when someone grabbed my two hands from behind me.
"You're late! You're late! Why are you passing by here?" Veron's voice was very tense.
"Let me go!" I pushed my twin with all my might so that she could release me, I was just surprised because she was staring at me from head to toe and back to my face.
"Even if you open that door, it can't be opened, one of our twin locked it," she laughed.
I stared at it and opened the door again, but refused. Locked up. Smiling it just stared at me and annoyed to leave in front of her. I don't know what trip she took with her and why she's here. When I entered the Main door I immediately noticed Zeke taking off his shoes to change slippers, my sister even looked at us.
Instead of going straight to the living room, I turned right up the stairs and separated from them. "Annika," a deep voice came from upstairs.
It went down slowly so I was also pushed back down. He stared at me and his face suddenly soothed. "Good morning uncle," I greeted as I lightly pinched my finger on the back.
"Where are you going?"
"In the bedroom, I'll just take care of it," I replied when he got down.
"Follow me first," he said as he kissed me on the forehead.
It turned away from me and followed him. We were just getting closer and closer to the living room and I immediately heard the noise of others. I deliberately slowed my pace because I seemed to know what was going to happen. If my twin just reacted like that, what would the others do? I just stared at the floor and acted normal as I followed uncle's shadow.
I could feel their noise decrease and the eyes caressing me. I finally got close to my uncle near the mini bookshelf there and someone took some paper. I turned my back on the people behind me who were already talking softly.
"Here uncle," a familiar voice went to our side.
We looked at each other and then frowned, it hovered all over my body which uncle also noticed who looked at Sevein's act. I regret that this dress I worn.
"Those clothes you're wearing, that's the youngest's dress, right?" Sevein referring to Zeke's pajamas and Tshirt I was wearing.
"Yeah," I simply replied then heard Veron and Lucas teased.
I immediately signed five pieces of paper that I did not know about, I did not bother to read it because I saw the signatures of my two twins. I even heard uncle Matt call uncle to talk to Zeke, I just ignored that because maybe it's just about uncle's properties that Zeke takes care of.
"Where are you going?" Kierra asked cleaning the nail.
"Take a bath," I replied as Veron sighed.
"You took a bath at Zeke's house, didn't you? Didn't you, twinny?" Instead of answering I left out of embarrassment.
I still thought I could escape them. Every month of May and December are their vacation here, so instead of being able to rest they have to put up with their noise.
After I took a bath, I only wore shorts and a t-shirt, I didn't leave the room first because they were definitely talking about business because most of them were businessmen. As I sat on the bed I noticed a paperbag familiar to me sitting on my study table. When I opened it and the three books I had bought at the bookstore opened up to me, I also noticed a paper there.
[You forgot. I just handed it to Lucas. About the incident, we are okay. Thank you for taking care of him, just remind him again of his medications. Thank you Niks. - Kev.]
I slowly lowered that paper. Remind the drugs? What's up? As far as I know, he only has a fever. But I also noticed that Aunt Ezra often reminded his youngest of the medications. I stopped in thought when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I immediately turned around and saw Zeren's startled face.
"You okay? You've been an idiot before," ahe asked, glancing at the book I was holding, which surprised her.
"Just thinking," I replied then put the book back in and simply shredded the paper.
"Hmm, are you reading?" she asked again pointing at the paperbag.
I just shook then sat on the far side of my bed and shook hard. "I'm just going to read. Why are you all here?" I asked then crossed my legs.
Zeren sat down in my swivel chair then opened her laptop, it was already home and obviously already here. "Vacation and to celebrate the three upcoming birthdays this month," she said with a smile.
Birthday? He was referring to Zafia and Von and uncle Asher. Their birthdays are almost in a row, it looks like I need to pack up and go back to my house so I don t hear their noises.
The next day I didn't plan to wake up at five in the morning because of uncle's knocking.
I had to accompany Zeke and uncle chose me as the representative of Ficarro, Zeren said she would have but she still has clients. Veron, on the other hand, has a collection of clothes ready. I did nothing because I had nothing to do. I was forced to wear a dress that I really didn t want especially when I wasn t in the mood.
I really need to leave the mansion so that I won't be ordered to. I wore black fitted lace-up dress and red sandals just like Veron said. Veron took care of me and since she was Veron I already knew what it wasg consequence of it.
"My body!" I annoyed my cry here because I could see my cleavage and my back unobstructed, only half covered my back, and up to the front of my knee.
So revealing!
"It's really like that! What are you going to wear? The heirloom? Pajamas and a big t-shirt or a shirt? Stop me Annika, you and Papa Zeke are going socially," she said, slowly removing the what in my hair.
My deep black long hair curled at each end. I couldn t help but marvel at what Veron did to me when I saw myself in the mirror. Even Zeren was applauded weakly.
"You're beautiful," Zeren whispered weakly parting my hair placed behind my ear.
I frowned. I do not want this. I'm not used to it! Damn!
"Let's go? Zeke is downstairs, they've been waiting for you for a while," Zeren whispered as I nodded.
We finally left the room, Veron was just in the back preaching that I should be smiling in front of people. Sometimes I don t know who owns my body. I was so nervous when I saw the man in the mansion in the living room, nervous to face them and heard nothing but my heartbeat. Very strong. This is no longer normal. But I felt even more nervous when I saw Zeke who had just come out of a hallway, she seemed to have passed in the back.
He adjusted his watch to walk straight. Why is it like this? He looks different now. I feel different now.
"Zeke! Let's change partners." Fred's snout sniffed at me causing Zeke to stop and look at me.
I want to avoid my vision, but I like what I see.
"That's mine," he said looking at me.
There was something in me that liked what he said. What I heard.
