Wow, she was younger than me but already had a lot of followers on all social media platforms.
'And she is my sister, I did great right?' Anne asked and I nodded.
'My cousin is also an influencer, not as famous as Alice but I think she is getting there' I explained.
'Well if she has my beauty and this flawless skin then she will' Alice mocked and walked out.
'Mami have some breakfast okay' I said and she nodded.
We all got to Anne's car and she drove away.
'Anne you and your friend better not say what's not needed' Alice said and Anne scoffed.
'You just need to introduce us to your boyfriend and give us breakfast and we will be gone'
'Mark wouldn't mind wasting some money to buy you a meal' she said and I clicked my tongue.
Now that I remember she is dating Mark, he is from a rich family. They are the richest in City A.
Few minutes later they all stopped in front of a 5 star restaurant, Alice placed her shades before walking in and the duet followed.
Arriving in they saw a vacant table and Mark sat there concentrated on his phone, seeing them approach he stood up nervously and arranged his shirt.
'Hello there' he smiled at Alice then hugged her.
'Mark this is my overprotective sister Anne and her friend Chloe' Alice introduced and Mark glanced at Chloe for some seconds and she felt a little nervous.
'Stop staring' Alice said and he nodded.
'Just she looks a lot like my mom' he said and pushed a chair for Alice.
'So Mark, are your parents in the country already?' Alice asked.
'Yes, my brother as well'
'You mean Miles, can you say Hi to him' Anne said with a cute smile, who wouldn't move at the mention of Miles.
He was like the most eligible bachelor in City A.
'She is kidding' Alice said and glanced at Anne angrily.
'So lets order' he said and Anne handed a menu to Chloe before whispering to her.
'Order a lot, he is super rich' she said and Chloe giggled.
The waiter approached them and Alice ordered just juice for herself and her boyfriend.
'I want crabs, Italian rice and some saucy stew…then natural juice' Anne explained with a smile.
'Get same for my friend' she said and the waiter jotted everything before leaving.
'So much for a first impression' Alice smiled sarcastically at them.
Mark smiled and picked up a glass of water when Anne said.
'So what are your plans? Do you intend to marry my sister?' she asked and Mark choked on the water he drank.
Alice gave Anne a hard glare.
'What were you expecting I asked your boyfriend?' she rolled her eyes.
'I was hoping nothing, I am just 16 and you are asking about marriage'
Chloe held onto her laughter as the siblings quarreled, if Amber was this kind to her and also treated her like a sister then they would have had a lot of bonding time.
The waiter arrived and displayed the meal, the aroma was appertizing that Chloe and Anne dug in at once.
They were so engrossed in their meal that they forgot completely about the couple.
Few minutes they were done and saw Alice leaving together with Mark.
'How could he leave without saying goodbye?' she scoffed and continued eating.
'If he paid the bills then he can leave' she added.
'That's the most important' Chloe said when her phone notified a new message.
'Chloe Lane' saw the message from the unknown number last night and choked out.
'Have some water, what happened?' Anne asked and Chloe shoved her phone to her.
'An unknown number texted me yesterday and I kind of replied to him harshly. Now he texted my name, " she said, shocked.
'Oh my reply' Anne said and handed my phone back to me.
'Is that right? What if it's actually kidnappers?' I asked, confused.
'What will they kidnap you for?' she asked and of course she had a point.
'Who are you?' I sent the message and we waited patiently.
'The prince of the United States' seeing the reply I felt irritated.
'Prince of the United States my foot' I scoffed and replied.
'What if he is really the prince?' Anne asked.
'10 mins ago I thought you were smarter than me' I sneered and she pouted.
'Is that how your Mami taught you, to reply to strangers rudely?'
I read the new message and my jaws dropped, so he knows about my grandma.
'Are you a freak? How dare you search about my life just because I texted you rudely' sending my reply I waited for his message.
'I am a vengeful person'
I turned towards Anne and she stared at me as well.
'I will stop texting this number and block him' I sneered and she seized my phone from my hands.
'You won't do that, don't block my chances of meeting the king of the United states' she said and I laughed out loud.
'He is probably some poor guy stuck in his mom's apartment, will the prince be so busy as to text a common high school graduate?'
'Will a poor guy stuck in his mom's apartment be able to afford money to get your information?' she answered my question with a question..smart.
And I think she is right, it must be someone rich…but it still won't change the fact that he is a bad person.
'Okay hand my phone, I won't block him' I said and she felt relaxed.
'Now reply' she said again and I sighed out, she was really impulsive.
'Sir Can you stop texting me' I sent the message.
--
Miles sat on his couch inside his lonely apartment when he received a new message.
He still held the picture of Chloe, he suddenly felt so attached to her..he has never had these feelings.
'I can't stop texting you, you're already in my mind' he thought with a smile.
'Only if you save my number' he replied with a smile.
'So what should I save it as?' she replied and I thought for a while.
'Prince' I sent with a smile.
'In your dreams' Chloe replied with some angry emoji.
--
Chloe walked out of the restaurant with Anne and they both got to her car.
'Thanks for tagging me along' she said
'It's cool, I figured you needed a change of environment after that outburst yesterday' Anne said referring to the argument Chloe had with Amber.
'Oh' Chloe wasn't in the mood to explain her life to Anne so she kept the conversation short.
'Keep me updated about Mr. Rude' Anne giggled happily.
Chloe nodded and decided to save his number as Mr. Rude.
Moments later Anne dropped her in front of her place and she walked in, getting inside she met that familiar figure on the couch together with Amber.
'Brother' I said excitedly as I ran towards Jim, he stood up and I hugged him tightly.
'Easy now Chloe' he laughed out…
Jim is Amber 's elder brother and also my cousin, even though Amber and her mom don't treat me right…Jim has always treated me so nicely.
'You never said you were coming' I asked.
'Well I wanted to give you girls a surprise and here I am'
'I am glad you are here...I missed you a lot' I hugged him again.
'Jim' Amber called out and he turned towards her.
'Dad already got me an apartment and I moved in today, do you want to see it?' she asked.
'Why get you both separate apartments, I mean we are all family right' he said and Amber scoffed.
'Mom doesn't want me to learn some bad traits' she replied and I clenched my fist angrily.
'Amber,' Jim said angrily.
'What? I was just saying the possibilities'
'You know for once I thought you changed and became more lady-like, guess I over thought' he scolded then left.
'Why didn't you ask to be in a different school? We are going to the same university and you aren't scared….did you forget what happened in high school?' she asked with a mocking laugh.
Every time I think about the things she did to me with her friends I feel so irritated. First she told everyone I was a prostitute's daughter and nothing but a maid in their house…I hope she doesn't ruin my university days.
If anyone cares to know then I had the worst high school experience, but I will make my university life count.
I walked to my room and spent the whole day parking my stuff, it was not that much though.
Anne texted and I told her I will be moving to my new apartment tomorrow. I don't know what the apartment looks like as I was only given an address.
