"Get out Samantha" Eli demanded as he started to walk toward his bed. Olivia didn't know what do, she was sitting on Eli's bed and hugging one of his pillows! She immediately blushed, tossed the pillow back and tried to get off the bed but Eli put his hand up to stop her "It's ok you can sit there." he told her calmly as his gaze turned soft.
Samantha made her way off the bed and turned towards Eli. Samantha made a big show about Eli being sweaty and pulled on the fabric by his shoulders "So you are kicking me out and keeping your girlfriend here? Heh... smooth Casanova very smooth. Will you be embracing her with these drenched clothes or are you going to be stripping in front of her instead?"
Olivia's faced turned crimson from the remark and she turned her head away. She couldn't imagine Eli wanting to show her his body so soon but her sitting on the bed, him taking off his clothes, she quickly pinched her nose. All she needed now was her nose to start bleeding just from her imagination.
Eli sighed "Olivia... do you mind stepping out for a moment, I won't be long." he asked calmly and collectively. Olivia happily agreed, she scooted off the bed and made her way towards the stairs. Samantha happily wrapped an arm around Olivia's shoulders as she passed by "Right so we'll be going now!" Samantha proclaimed before Eli grabbed her shoulder and kept her in place.
He pinched the space between his brows "No you stay!" Samantha dramatically made an 'x' with her arms across her chest "Eli I didn't know you had such thoughts towards me!" she shouted. Eli let go of her shoulders and rolled his eyes "No I don't, I just don't need you running off with MY girlfriend again." Samantha groaned that her plan were foiled while Olivia giggled as she made down the stairs.
As she stepped into the corridor she ran into a small person. He looked to be 4 maybe 5 years old. "Oh! Hello there I'm Olivia what's your name?" she asked the little boy. His eyes were big and round, his little lips looked so kissable and his cheeks looked so soft Olivia had to fight the urge to cuddle the child.
The little boy just stared at Olivia, titling his head left and right as he hugged a fluffy plush cat toy against his body. "Too cute!" Olivia thought. So she decided to look him over too, he had the same hair color and style as Eli but his fringe was shorter. His eyes were jade green but glowed with curiosity and innocence. He was fairer toned then the siblings up in the room but other then that he was the exact copy of Eli.
After a while the little boy raised his tiny, squishy hand, Olivia thought he wanted to shake hands as Samantha did when she introduced herself. So she took his hand and gave it a small shake "I'm Olivia, it's very nice to meet you." she said as she beamed a smile at him.
The little boy stared at Olivia's face never letting go of her hand. Instead he gave her a tiny nod and started walk her away from the door. Olivia couldn't stop the little bundle of cuteness from taking her away, so she surrender herself immediately and walked off with the boy.
This time it wasn't an adventure of stairs, running and misdirection, they walked in silence down the halls until they made their way towards a sitting room. The little boy motioned for Olivia to sit on one of the plush, bear like sofa as he ran off. Olivia took a quick look at the room before the little boy came back.
There were floor to ceiling windows and glass doors that lead to a wooden deck. The room was painted a powdered blue, had one massive fire place built into the wall and gave off a feel of a cottage rather than a room. The little boy came back cradling an unstable stack of books between his tiny arms. Olivia jumped off the sofa and tried to catch the books before they fell to the floor.
The little boy looked at her blank faced and slowly nodded his thanks. He pointed towards the couch and stared intensely at Olivia. Olivia looked at the books and realized they were all children's stories and fairy tales, looked at the tiny finger pointing towards the couch and back at the little face.
"Would you like me to read to you?" she asked excitedly. The little boy nodded vigorously. Olivia couldn't help but smile as she walked back to the sofa with the pile of books. The little boy scurried along to the sofa and snuggled beside her, finally showing the most sweetest smile. Olivia's heart melted and was thankful she was able to understand him. She cracked open the first book and began "Once upon a time..."
The little boy happily listened to every story she read. Somewhere between the 5th to 7th book he made his way on her lap and snuggled against her chest. Olivia felt energized and would have read a 100 more books if it gave her the chance to cuddle the little bundle of cuteness for the remainder of the evening.
"Just a little more" she thought to herself. She was excited that the little boy was about to fall asleep against her. She held her breath as he closed his eyes and his breathing slowed down to a small lull. Olivia was so happy to see an adorable sleeping face clutching at her shirt, he was just too cute! She really wanted to kiss his whole face and cuddle his soft looking cheeks but thought better as she might have woken him up.
"Well hello there" a serene voice called out to her. Olivia crooked her neck trying to see who had greeted her. "Hello?" she loudly whispered, trying not to wake the little boy. An elegant looking lady dressed in beautiful red silk cheongsam, decorated with fully bloomed, golden roses and leaves along the right side of her body. She gracefully walked toward the opposite sofa of Olivia and sat down.
Olivia gawked at the lady. Everything about her screamed that she was a noble lady but her face was one of a china doll, never reveling her age or emotions but her eyes! Her eyes were so different. Olivia had never seen the lady's eye color before, they were such a dark brown but had streaks of bright red star bursting from her pupil and outwards into the brown.
The lady openly stared at Olivia back, Olivia shook her senses back into her head and tried to redeem herself with manners. "Hello my name is Olivia Steel, may I ask for your name." The lady never showed any type of emotion on her face, she just looked at Olivia then down to the little boy laying against her chest. After some time , the lady decided to give Olivia an answer "My name is Gloria Delmira, I am the lady of this estate and mother to Samantha, Eli and Aaron." she announced proudly.
Olivia's faced paled, this lady was Eli's mother and she could only guess that Aaron was the little boy asleep on her chest. "Ms. Steel, you are currently seeing my eldest son romantically am I correct?" she asked in a dignified manner. Olivia tried to gather her courage and gave her a very shaky "Yes I am." Ms. Delmira stared at her quietly, causing Olivia to break out into a cold sweat.
"Do you hear that Aaron she's already taken. You can't keep her." Ms. Delmira said with a straight face but her eyes twinkled with a teasing glint. Aaron started to move and opened his eyes, he turned his face towards his mother and coldly answered "She's too good for Eli, can't I just have her instead?"
Olivia's jaw dropped as Aaron's cuteness disappeared and a dignified prince emerged. "I don't know my darling why don't you ask her to be your bride?" Ms. Delmira asked again her face showed no sign of humor but her eyes shook with laughter. Aaron turned to face Olivia but couldn't say a word, his mouth became tight and his eyes were wide as the rest of his face was void of emotion.
Ms. Delmira gave a small laugh as she tried to explain "You see Ms. Steel, my boys become stoned faced when they are nervous or feeling shy." she sighed "I blame their father because he is just the same way but then again it doesn't help that I suffer from Catatonia though, head trauma you see, happened when I was young."
Olivia looked at the little boy and back at Ms. Delmira, she gave them both a bright smile "Well both of you express yourself just fine in my opinion. Aaron even though you didn't talk to me I knew how safe you felt with me and Ms. Delmira do not be worried about your Catatonia, your eyes are expressive enough."
Suddenly Eli erupted into the room "First Samantha and now you two?!" he shouted. Ms. Delmira got off the couch and walked towards Eli, while Aaron quickly, jumped off Olivia's lap and followed his mother "I had a lovely chat with my future daughter-in-law darling. Please don't wait too long to make her part of our family" she said as she walked by.
Aaron gave his brother a nasty smirk as he raised his arms and placed his hands behind his head "I might be the one to make her my bride if your not careful big brother." he said after following his mother out of the room.
