Chereads / Orlean in New Orleans / Chapter 17 - It hurts

Chapter 17 - It hurts

~The Clifton's and Grayson's sat having delicious food on this not so sunny day, the atmosphere was really good

{I'm happy you made it} Ricky who was wearing a light blue shirt and hawaii themed shorts and a very funny looking slipper was smiling as he spoke to Lisa, he had invited her yesterday when he dropped her off at home

{Thank you for inviting me your mom makes really delicious food} she smiled back

{yeah wait untill you try her special hotpot...no.. no Thanksgiving dinner is always the best}

{ha..ha no wonder you don't eat out as much as other do, would your mom mind taking me in} she laughed out at the way Ricky recommend his mom's food

{of course yes, who wouldn't take in such a beautiful damsel} he pinched her cheek

{ouch!} she pouted her lips playfully, Lisa was sporting a mini yellow dress and sandal, she had her hair in two large braids with a flower hairpin at the side of her head she looked fresh and doll like

she blushed when she noticed that the people on the table were staring at them

{Ricky you never told us you had a girlfriend} Zack teased as he played with Roosevelt's hand this was a hobby of his and Roosevelt never complained

{she isn't my girlfriend at least not yet} Ricky immediately replied

{ohhh are you going to ask her out now or when you walk her home later or better you have a whole proposal planed out for another day} Zack went on

{shut up...} he kicked Zack from under the table he had his plans but before he could conclude on how to ask Lisa out he didn't want Zack to put ideas into her head

{leave him alone you should think on getting yourself a girlfriend} Roosevelt dragged Zack by the ear reprimanding him like she was his little mother

Skyler and Eula watched them banter and then turned to look at each other

{aren't you planning on getting into a relationship} Skyler asked in a playful manner

{definitely not planning to do so} Eula retrieved her gaze from him

{why not you are twenty and already in college}

{really shouldn't you be advising me to stay away from any form of distractions and study hard to build my GPA}

{ooww! yeah that is exactly what I should be doing} {ha..ha..} they both burst out laughing

Juliana who had ran inside the house to wash up was back but she was in an entirely opposite mood to those outside {you p*ss of sh*t how dare you I will skin you alive} she muttered to herself as she picked up a piece of grilled chicken and munched on it aggressively

{who offended her royal highness} Zack who was about to reach out for a piece of chicken but it got stolen before he could reach it looked up only to see that it was Juliana

{he wants to break up with me it's been what three days and he is asking for a break up ha! that fool really wants to die} she finally got the attention of everyone on the table {stupid good for nothing ***************} she kept on cursing

{that's enough if you don't want to get in trouble stop cursing out, if mom hears you be ready to face the consequences} Zack reminded her

Elizabeth hade prepared separate tables for the kids and the parents, she knew how Roosevelt would get irritated by her if she said anything to their friends it was best to avoid drama and besides they had to keep up their image in front of the Grayson's

she stared at him with an annoyed expression {can't you pacify me as I am angry}

{no I can't I have to save it all for Roosy} Zack answered without even giving her face

{you.... p*iss of sh*it go to hell and....} now she was angry

{Juliana language} she froze on hearing her Auntie's voice Zack just had to provoke her right

everybody erupted in laughter knowing that Juliana was in trouble {I'm sorry Aunty}

{you better be, do excuse her behavior I will do well to caution her} Kourtney apologize to their host immediately

{it's no problem kids this day are a little expressive haha...} Elizabeth knew to suck up to the rich, Kourtney was not someone she wish to be at odds with even if she set their house on fire Elizerbeth herself was willing to apologise

Skyler spoke up immediately to ease the atmosphere {Aunty Elizabeth if you don't mind we will like to go for a swim}

{yeah Ricky and Roosevelt has some new swimsuit you all can borrow go have fun}

the barbeque started by 10:30am since Eula and Juliana had to leave for school by 3pm

it was just 11:34am they still had time to go for a swim

Raymond asked the kids to be careful since they just ate {Skyler you are in charge don't let things get out of hand}

{alright dad you and Mom can have fun with Uncle and Aunty}

by the time the group of seven walked to the poolside it was already 11:50am

Skyler made arrangements for drinks while Ricky and Zack brought out the floaters and pool beds, by the time they finished and where inside the pool taking pictures

the girls walked out leaving the boys wide mouthed

Roosevelt was in a blood red bikini, the bra was tied at the back with a rope leaving her back and belly exposed, on the bottom she had on a panties of the same color and her hair was let down

Juliana was dressed the same only that hers was in royal blue, she seemed more relaxed than before while Lisa chose a pink bikini with a bra and skirt

Eula was in a gray colored knee length body swimsuit leaving only a small portion of her back and hands exposed, Skyler let out a light chuckle what was he expecting

{wow Roosy you look hot} Zack was on full flirt mood on seeing the sexy Roosevelt {hey Juliana I think you should take a picture of yourself in that outfit and send it to you know who I assure you he will beg to have you back}

{haha very funny} Juliana rolled her eyes at him but went on to take pictures

{you look good} Ricky whispered to Lisa as he stretched out his hands to help her into the pool

{thank you} Lisa couldn't help but blush

when they were picking out what to where she had let Roosevelt and Juliana choose first and on seeing how they looked in it she had to confess that they had really great figure and she was afraid of looking less off if compared to them so she chose this instead it was easier to pull off

Eula on the other hand refuse to wear the bikini Juliana picked out for her but instead when with the one she had, it was no doubt conservative

{you look different from the others} Skyler handed a glass of orange juice to Eula as she sat at the edge of the pool

{thanks! is it a good thing or a bad thing} she replied on taking the glass from him

{I don't think it matters you look good by the way} he whispered into her ears as he sat beside her

Eula shurdered as she felt the coldness of the drink in his hands on her exposed back

{I'm sorry} he apologized on noticing the drink had touched her

{it's okay} she turned to face him as she spoke, looking at his face from up close she had to admit he was good looking gorgeous if she must say

he also turned to look at her but she seemed to be lost in thoughts he moved closer and whispered yet again {I will think you have fallen for my handsome face huun!}

she blushed immediately realizing she had been caught staring at him {nonsense...}

{really... ah ah!} she pinched his waist on seeing his smug face

{sorry} she apologized and released her hands on realizing that she had used much force

{Roosy... Roosy} Zack called out to Roosevelt who seemed to be absent minded

turning to look at Zack she saw the unhappy look in his eyes {sorry} that was all she could say

Zack let out a sigh, she had promised him to stop clinging to Skyler, she herself was clear on the fact that Skyler treated her like his little sister and that he would never have such feelings for her but how can she accept it she had liked him for over three years now it didn't seem fair that her feelings will never be reciprocated she understood that Zack was concerned for her and didn't want her to continuously be hurt but how exactly does she stop

tears was in her eyes her heart couldn't watch Skyler being close to other girls what was even worst, it was her sister the person her dad would always compare her to the sister she had hated even before she had met her

Zack whipped her eyes {Roosy don't be like this come on} he immediately embraced her

she quietly sobbed in his arms {it hurts Zack it really hurts}

{it's okay} he just sat there patting the crying Roosevelt as he watched Skyler drag Eula into the pool, her cry increases everytime Eula screamed and Skyler laughed

it hurts her heart was in pain she wanted that laugh of he's to be because of her
