When Gia, Thirteen, and Kate ran up to us and said my name, I froze. While this was going on, the family stared at us, surprised. And also the visitors inside... I'm super doomed.
As she was fetching the kids, Allie stated, "I'm very sorry, Miss. These kids truly missed Sam, apologies..."
I'll never forget Elle's words. She assured Allie that everything was ok, but she was trembling as she held on to me. This is completely insane.
We slowly walked to the exit door and while walking, the kids cried and cried while calling my name, these kids really missed me.
We all talked about how scared we were when the kids ran up to us in the cab; I didn't expect that to happen, and the party didn't go as planned.
"You said we'd sit next to your family," Elle exclaimed. I had planned to sit next to my family and listen in on everything they said, but we ended up 5 tables apart, which was quite inconvenient.
Elle and Amber slept in the cab and lay on each other's shoulders, Elle on mine and Amber on Elle's. "Are you the oldest sister?" asked the driver.
"No, I'm the youngest, and the last girl acts like a child. Isn't it ironic that the person next to me is insane, while as the youngest, I'm the one more responsible to them? Is that your term for it? Yes, something like that" I responded as I pointed to Amber and Elle. And it was true; I was the youngest, but I appeared to be the eldest.
We arrived at home tired, Elle and I put Amber to bed, and Elle went back to the living room and lay on the couch while I was in the kitchen, drinking water.
Elle texted me if we could have a little snack. And of course as the "oldest", I gave her the Cheetos I bought yesterday, and yes, I gave her that.
"This is acceptable, I thought you're gonna give me something fancy," Elle said. I sat beside her on the couch and watch some tv shows. Minutes later, Elle slept on my shoulder and said, "Can I sleep here?" and I replied, "Yes, of course... sleep well" as I pat her head and gave her the blanket. I turned off the tv so it won't make much noise while the two were sleeping, after that I also slept.
AMBER'S POV
I awoke at 2 a.m., so Sam and Elle must have dropped me here. I went to Sam's room when I realized Elle wasn't with me, and before that, I noticed the two sleeping on the couch with their heads on each other's shoulders.
I didn't disturb them instead, I took a picture with both of them. They look cute together.
THE NEXT MORNING
Elle's POV
I awoke on the couch with Sam on it; I was going to get up and push her away, but instead, I gently lifted Sam's head and placed her on the couch.
Amber was in the room napping when I checked on her. So far, I'm the only one who's awake. I went to the kitchen and made some Eggs Benedict with Bacon, Kale, and Roasted Tomatoes. My grandmother taught me how to cook and gave me one of her recipes. Since I'm the oldest, it's a good time for me to cook for Sam.
Because Sam is in the living room, she was instantly awakened by the smell, which is a pleasant one. "What in the world did I just smell!" she exclaimed as she dashed to the kitchen. I showed her a completed dish with all the platings and other accents. "Yeeeeeyy!!!! I can't wait!" Sam said as she jumped up and down and cheered.
Amber was startled awake by Sam's voice, and the two were eager to try my dish. And now that the food is done, Sam and Amber sat down and immediately prepared everything, while I giggled.
"How's the food?" I asked them. Amber and Sam exchanged glances and smiles, with Sam saying, "It is absolutely... Magnificent!! I had no idea you could cook! Why didn't you inform me earlier? ".. I explained why to Sam. I didn't tell her because I figured she was an experienced cook who would judge my food if I let her try it, but I guess I was wrong.
"So what's for dessert?" Sam asked. Oh, right. There has to be dessert. I didn't make a dessert because I was making the Eggs Benedict first, I replied to her, "I didn't make one...".
"Oh, right! I should've wake up later... but don't worry, I'll make a Tiramisu, but Elle can make one, right?" Sam said. I smiled and nod to her, it would be even more exciting if I let her eat one of my grandmother's desserts. I hope she will like it.
"How about we go to the mall right now?" I suggested. I want us to have this day, and I think going to the mall is much more fun. Elle and Amber said yes. I smiled at them and said, "Then let's go!".
"I heard Johnny has a crush on you, Sam, is that true?" Elle was the one who questioned. I told them I wasn't sure; it's fine with me if Johnny has a crush on me; he's just a little too old for me. And what is the brighter side? He didn't treat me in the way that most people would... He just acts natural, as if he has no feelings for me. I hope he finds the right woman.
Cassandra's POV
From what I heard from the other girl who I believe her friend, that she couldn't hear, but how can she talk perfectly? I mean, I already noticed her when she was with her friends.
I saw them walking away and told Thirteen, Gia, and Kate that I had seen Sam. Since I arrived, they've been talking about it. The kids and Sam exchanged stares, so I told them to hug her and say her name, and that was the end of it! I found her. I immediately informed the boys and instructed the guards to accompany them; now we're waiting for an update.
SAMANTHA'S POV
I can't believe Elle just cooked a meal for us; I had no idea she could cook. I suppose I should have asked what they do well a long time ago. I'm shocked that, like Elle, I'm the reason they can tell me what they're good at...
We got ready and went to the mall to get groceries because we were going to make our favorites! Amber got blueberry cheesecake, I got French toast, and Elle got mozzarella sticks. We're going to have a cooking class this weekend, I guess. Just wait, there's more! Allie and Kiera... I had to meet them.
A parent called Elle right before we walked in, asking her to babysit her child. That was something I was completely unaware of. She asked if we could take the child with us... Since the parent seems to be okay with it, I said yes.
AT THE MALL
We went grocery shopping and purchased the ingredients needed to prepare our meal. It took a long time because we needed to help a child who was throwing a tantrum in the toy section.
"Sam? Can we go to the arcade? Please? " Amber said. We just got into the Mall and she's asking to go to the arcade... And now Elle begged too. People started to look at us when the two started to call me mommy...
"Hey, Guys! Stop to it!" I whispered when forcing them to rise, but they refused, and now... The child began to tantrum, drawing everyone's attention to me as I stood there doing nothing... This is going to be a long day...
"Okay, okay, okay! That's fine! We're going to the arcade! Just, please... Elle, look after that kid while I go grocery shopping "I said. I'm going to leave them there because I know they know how to look after a kid, and Elle agreed to babysit the child. Don't get me wrong, I adore children, but Amber and Elle are driving me crazy.
"Ohh, no! There's no way we're gonna let you just go there... You have the money mommy, you're coming with us!" Elle said. And that made me... Shocked. I didn't know about that... Mommy duties!
As we approached the Arcade, I noticed that they were all... with children! Gia, Thirteen, and Kate are all together! Elle laughed and grinned secretly as she was in front of me. This is planned.
"Samantha!" They all said. Amber and I both froze, and I'm afraid I'm going to pass out. I attempt to escape as they all come up to hug me... And I'm not sure why. Still, instead of running with me, Elle caught me and told me I couldn't go.
What's Sam gonna do? Tune in to find out!
