Chapter 7 - DINNER AT AARON'S HOUSE:

"Yes, I have cleaned your house", Alayah said with a smiley face.

Standing in the living room, Harry was observing them. His facial expressions changed as he felt bad for Alayah.

"Then what about this tent? Didn't I tell you that I want my house clean, when I say clean I mean it!" Aaron yelled.

"I am sorry", Alayah said and started removing the tent, she took the toys and came into the living room to put them there, Harry was still standing there, he took the toys from her hand, and held her hand.

"Alayah! Are you upset, I was worried about you", Harry said with a gloomy tone.

"Hey! Don't be sad, I am fine", Alayah said with tears in her eyes and bend down.

"Alayah! My uncle sometimes behaves like an angry man, but he is a good person, I will teach you how to make him laugh", Harry said.

"Harry you are so sweet", Alayah said while kissing his hand.

Aaron entered the living room. "Hey my little monster I have a surprise for you", Aaron said to Harry.

"A surprise, for me? Where is it?" Harry asked with excitement.

"Well, you go, I will follow you", Aaron said with a smile and Harry ran outside.

"Miss Alayah", Aaron said and Alayah looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Harry is our guest, so can you stay late to prepare dinner?" Aaron asked and Alayah remained quiet.

"Please?" Aaron requested.

"Okay, I will stay", she replied without looking at him.

"Don't worry I will pay you more money for extra time", Aaron said.

"No, there is no need, I am staying for Harry", Alayah replied and went towards the kitchen, and Aaron kept on watching her.

AT DENZEL'S HOUSE:

Rosie was still at Denzel's place, Denzel looked at sleeping Rosie, and dialed a number.

"Hello, yes, I am fine, you requested me to tell you about a singer, I will give you her phone number so you may call her if she is the one you are looking for", by saying this Denzel disconnected the call and sent me Rosie's number.

A phone call woke Rosie up, she opened her eyes, Denzel was playing piano, she picked up the call, "Okay I will come today, okay, thank you".

After disconnecting the call she went towards Denzel, can you believe they finally called me!" she told him with excitement.

"That's great congratulations", Denzel replied.

She looked into Denzel's eyes, "You are fully aware of the fact that your eyes speak, tell me the truth! Is that you who asked them?" she asked.

"Well, I did nothing, he just used to call me, and used to ask me if I know any person with a beautiful voice, I just sent your number", he replied.

She hugged him with love, but it seemed like Denzel is trying to avoid her.

Rosie looked at Denzel's face, and touched his face with her hand, "Denzel, thanks for being there".

"Regardless of what happened between us, I'll always stand by your side", he replied.

She gave him another hug, and this time it seemed like Denzel was afraid of falling in love with her again.

Alayah was placing the plates on the table, which was placed near the pool. Aaron and Harry were driving two mini boats in the pool, both were holding remote controls in their hands,

"Harry! such a cheater you are," Aaron said.

"I cannot do anything else, you are so fast" Harry replied, "Uncle! Uncle! Drive slowly!" he added.

"Why should I, let me show you how to win a race", Aaron laughed.

"Can we switch our remotes? You will drive mine and I will drive yours", Harry requested.

"Alright, take it", Aaron gave him the remote and asked Harry to do the same, but instead of giving his remote to Aaron, Harry put it aside and started driving his boat.

"You are such a naughty boy!" by saying this Aaron took the remote and started driving again.

"Uncle, I am small, drive slowly, I don't want to lose again", Harry yelled.

"You liked it?" Aaron asked with a smile. "Of course,", Harry replied and started eating.

Alayah came and said, "Salad is ready too". She placed the bowl on the table.

"Miss Alayah! What is this?" Aaron asked.

"It's salad", Alayah replied with a smile.

"What there are almonds in it? Did not I ask you to add walnuts?" Aaron asked.

"Yes! You did, but there were no walnuts so I added almonds", Alayah replied.

"Who asked you to change the menu?" Aaron asked.

"I… I just thought that you will like it", Alayah replied.

"Why?" he asked and Alayah was just lost, she didn't know what to say.

"I asked her, I wanted to eat a salad with lots of almonds in it, so I asked Alayah, and he said, of course, she will make it for me", Harry said.

Alayah looked at harry with a smile.

"Then it's okay if you requested it", Aaron calmed down.

"Okay enjoy your meal", Alayah said and turned to go into the kitchen.

"Alayah! Sit with us, please", Harry requested.

"Sorry my dear but I need to clean the kitchen and see it is too late I need to go as well", Alayah replied.

"Please stay", Harry requested. Aaron looked at Harry and then at Alayah and said, "Please sit and have dinner with us", Aaron said.

"Okay, wait, let me bring a plate", Alayah walked towards the kitchen.

"You can't possibly imagine that you fooled me, I know you don't like any kind of salad", Aaron said to Harry.

"Well, I am all grown up, I eat all the salad", Harry said.

"Is that so? Then open your mouth", Aaron filled a spoon with salad.

"Well, I don't feel like eating, see Alayah is coming, yeah she will join us", Harry said.

They started having dinner.

Alayah what do you do?" Harry asked while eating.

"I go to cooking school and then came here", she replied with a smile.

"You already cook so well, you do not need to go to school", Harry said.

"No, my dear Harry, I must take classes in order to work professionally, now I will clean the kitchen and leave.", By saying this she stood up.

"No, you have to watch a movie too", Harry said and looked at Aaron, "right uncle?" he asked.

"No, Harry, we will watch a movie next time, now Alayah has things to do", Aaron said.

"Alayah, do you have things to do? I think she doesn't", Harry asked and replied.

"Okay, okay", Aaron said.

"Alayah and I will choose a movie, and we will watch it outside, in the yard.

"Ha-ha sure", Aaron said.

After some time, Aaron set up the outdoor movie projector, Alayah arranged the sofas as needed, and they all held popcorn as they began watching the movie.

Harry was laughing while watching the movie, as he was sitting between Alayah and Aaron so, Aaron used to gaze at the laughing Harry and then at Alayah, who was enjoying the movie as if it were one of her favorites.
