And there they are." Mr.Grey said when he entered the compound.
"How are you guys. It's so unlike you to be late." Mr.Grey said when Louis and Sam came closer.
"We are fine." Butler Sam replied.
"As for being, late it happens when you have a son like Alaric," Louis said making everyone chuckle.
"Let me help you unload the things while you guys go to the backyard," Austin said as he pulled Al to the car.
"Gosh...why are we the ones unloading the things," Al asked as he opened the bonnet.
"Who are you expecting to do this? Your dad or mine?" Austin asked rhetorically.
Al unloaded the things and they carried them inside.
"Woooow!" Al exclaimed.
"I know right." Austin exhaled and stood beside him.
"I love the view of the beach from this place," Al said and Austin smiled.
"So what are we going to do today?" Al asked.
"How about indoor games for now when it's the late afternoon we go to the beach." Old Grey suggested.
"Good idea." Louis seconded.
"Okay so while you old men are playing chess what will the ladies be doing?" Austin enquired.
"We will also play chess," Scarlet answered.
"I will sit here and record you." Mrs.Grey replied to his son's unspoken question.
"That leads to the most important question who's in charge of the barbecue," Austin asked.
"Butler Sam," Al replied. Austin looked at him for a while.
"Mom you can play chess with Butler Sam. I and Al will take care of the barbeque." Austin reasoned.
"Hey, I didn't come here to sacrifice myself for that job, If you feel like sacrificing your head I beg you don't add mine," Al said coldly.
"No, you came because it's kind of compulsory for you to be here. Agreeably am reasoning here because there are only three chess boards available here," Austin explained.
"We can form a team and play chess so that the losers will grill that barbeque," Al suggested.
"If we form a team we will still be the loser. Ranking our skills with everyone here we are already the destined losers and we will end up grilling the barbeque so why not get a head start." Austin reasoned which caused laughter.
"What do you say we do," Austin asked.
"Do as you said." Al sighed.
And the day out began official with them playing chess Butler Sam against Mrs.Grey, Scarlet against Jules, and finally Mr.Grey against Mr.Leblanc. Austin and Al were under the canopy with Austin grilling that barbeque while Al stood by him drinking and chatting with him.
After what seemed forever the sun began to set slowly.
"How about we go and watch the sunset," Jules suggested.
"We are already at the beach where else do you expect the sunset." Al retorted.
"There," Jules said showing them a perfect place for the view.
"I think it's a good idea," Austin said
"If you don't agree with her who else would?" Al said coldly.
"I also agree," Scarlet said out of the blue.
"You see not everyone disposes of my ideas as you do," Jules said while touching her head for a split second.
"Are you okay?" Louis asked when he noticed her action.
"Am fine just a split headache with dizziness," Jules answered.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Louis asked showing more concern.
"I can handle it." Jules smiled.
"If you can't handle it we can go home now," Louis said
"If that happens I will miss the sunset," Jules said.
"I will bring you here some other time to look at it." Louis tried to convince her.
"Jeeez... Mr. Leblanc which part of am fine don't you understand." Al said out of the blue.
"You see what I go through. Unnecessary concern for unnecessary things. The lady said she's fine will you stop persuading her." Al raised his eyebrow questioningly.
"Okay, we are going home now." The old people said.
"It's not that late why don't you wait a little longer," Austin suggested.
"We are going you guys can head back when you feel like it," Louis said.
"But how are you expecting us to get home?" Al asked his dad.
"Remember we can with the one can thank you." He added.
"I've already sent for a car for you two. I knew you kids will stay a bit longer." Louis said.
"Al make sure you keep an eye on her and bring her home in one piece not in pieces," Louis warned.
"I will try not to forget that," Al said coldly.
"You better make sure you don't forget," Louis said.
"Are you threatening me because of her? " Al asked
"How can I threaten you." Louis smiled.
"It's okay Louis am sure Al will not forget." Old Grey chipped in as everyone laughed.
"So I guess we will be going there to see the sunset," Austin said. They said goodbye to the old ones and left for the place.
