Chapter 7 - Vespertine Siblings

I dreamed that my dad was with me, My father hugged me and told me to keep doing what I'm doing "Just keep doing what you are doing, Rome, and you will achieve your dream" *Door bell* I woke up to the sound of the doorbell so I got up from my bed and looked to see who was at the door "Hello goodmorning is Lily here?" "Yeah, I'll just wake her up" I was surprised that a man was looking for Lily so I woke her up immediately *Knock* "Lily wake up someone is looking for you" Lily came out of her room and asked who was looking for her "There is a man looking for you" Lily quickly went to the door "Who is this?" "Lily do you still remember me?" Lily was shocked and immediately closed the door "Who is he?" "I had a crush on him when I was in 8th grade" I let the man in first "What's your name bro?" "I'm Kenxio but you can call me Ken" "Lily told me that you know each other" "Ow yes she was my classmate" I tried to call Lily to her room but she suddenly ccame out to her room "Oh why does your face seem different?" I saw on Lily face that she put a make up "Hi Ken how are you? "Ow hello Lily long time no see" "Have you eaten?" "Not yet" I saw on Lily's face that she was excited talking to Ken "Wait Ken, I'm going to cook our breakfast and i want know why Lily is like this, I mean I want to know your connection with Lily

I cooked our breakfast and I could hear them talking "I heard that you transferred to another school so I asked Emilu where you live and I want to talk to you" "What do you want us to talk about?" "I remember that you liked me when were in 8th grade, so I'm here to ask you if I can date you?" I suddenly felt a strange pain in my chest "You can date me Ken but I don't have free time yet" My chest hurt even more when Lily said that so I immediately went to the lobby with the food "The food is ready, Lily, sit here next to me" Lily ignored me and just stared at Ken "Lily, did you hear what I said?" "Huh?- ow sorry rome, what did you say?" "Nevermind I cooked you your favorite pancake" "Thank you Rome, you are really wise" "Who is this with you Lily?" "This is my frie-" "Boyfriend, I'm Lily's boyfriend, nice to meet you, I'm Rome" I was shocked by what I said and I don't know why I said that "Wait, he's not my boyfri-" "I'm going home Lily, Thank you Rome for preparing me food, I'm sorry for bothering you both" Ken left and I saw in Lily's eyes how angry she was with me "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID WAS NOT GOOD!" "Lily, I don't know why I said that" "Don't say a word and don't talk to me" Lily went to her room and she was very angry, I don't even know why I said that

"Lily I'm sorry let's talk so we can fix it" Lily didn't say a word, I let her go and thought of giving her a gift, I think she will lose her anger towards me, I immediately went to the mall to buy chocolates I only bought a little so that I could also buy her new stuffed toy while I was walking around I noticed that someone was following me so what I did was I stopped and faced him and asked who he was "Who are you?" "hello rome" I couldn't see her face very well because she was wearing a hoodie and a face mask, but she had a female voice "Who are you why are you following me?" she took off her hoodie and her face mask, it turned out that she was my childhood friend "Kiarra is that you?" "Yes, I am" "When did you come home?" "Just yesterday I told mom that I wanted to see you so we went home" "who are you with?" "It's just me, did you buy too many things for your girlfriend?" "Oh, she's not my girlfriend, she's just my friend, Wait how did you know I was at the mall?" "Oh, your mom told me the address of your dorm and I saw you go out so I followed you" "Do you want to go to our dorm?" "Oh sure why not" Kiarra and I left the mall and went home

"Lily, I'm home" I saw Lily was in a pretty good mood so I handed her the things I bought "Ah Lily, this is childhood bes-" "Kiarra is that you?" "OMG Lily hello nothing has changed in your face you are still beautiful" "It's natural for me to be beautiful" "Wait do you know each other?" "Ow yes I met her because of Ken, this is Ken's sister" "Wait...is that the one who came here earlier?" "Yes, that's him" I didn't expect Ken and Kiarra are siblings "My brother said he went to see you, Lily" "ah yes he also said that he wants to go on a date with me" "Date?, My brother has a girlfriend now" "Wait, he didn't tell me that" "Your brother looks like a play boy" "I didn't know he told you that" "Lily you said to focus on your studies, you just saw your old crush and that's how you are" "I'm sorry Rome I was angry with you earlier if you didn't say that I would have been hurt again" "It's ok Lily, I'm your friend and I want you to be happy and you deserve a good man" "By the way, Rome, I'm going home, mom is calling me, I'll see you again next time" "Oh sure, be careful, please tell your mom that you can visit our dorm" "Sure I will tell her that" Kiarra left and I talked to Lily about what happened earlier

"Lily, I'm also sorry that I said what I said earlier, I'm sure you were embarrassed" "Its ok Rome" "Maybe if you weren't here Ken might be playing with me" "Kiarra said that Ken has a girlfriend so it's ok" "I can see in your eyes that you have feelings for him" "I have no feelings for him now" "I also have a crush but it's not Xyria, she's just like you so I'm happy that I met her" "I want to know who she is" "I will tell you at the right time" "Just don't forget because I want to meet her" "Ow ok by the way how did you meet Kiarra?" "She is my childhood best friend, my mom and her mom are friends because mom used to work in the house of the Vespertine, They are royal families" "Wait royal families I just found out that Ken is Vespertine" "They use a different last name when they are in school, only their mother used the last name Vespertine so that their last name does not disappear from the list in our area" "Ah, they are great, so if someone finds out that ken and kiarra are also Verpestine, what will happen to them?" "Nothing but their mother just wanted them to live a normal life so her mother made them change their last name when they were out of their house" "I forgot Ken's last name" "Its crawford" "Oh yes, Crawford" "When they left their house, her mother moved us to the rest house they have and we live there" "her mom is very kind" "It's good that Ken doesn't use Vespertine,Because he's flirting with me what else might happen to me?" "You'll only get hurt Lily so don't talk to Ken again or something else will happen to you" "Yes Mr Risus" while I was talking, I didn't notice that the chocolate I bought from her was running out "Lily the chocolate is gone" "Ow sorry, what you bought is delicious" "Its ok just take it easy"

*On the phone* "Hello who is this?" "Hello Rome, this is Ken" "How did you get my number?" "Your mom gave me your number so I called you, mom said that you are here to have lunch with your girlfriend Lily" "Ow ok ok we're on our way" "Lily, get ready, we're leaving" "Where will we go?" "Kiara's mom said we should have lunch there" "Ow ok I'm going to get dressed" "Just wear normal clothes" "We are going to a royal house, not an ordinary house" "Well, it's up to you, maybe you're wearing a dress" Lily and I got dressed and went to Vespertine's house, When we arrived, two guards picked us up

"OMG rome hello is that you?" "Yes, Aunt Elizabeth" "you've grown up and become handsome, Is this your girlfriend? Ken told me that you have a girlfriend" "Yes, she is" "She's a beautiful girl, you two are perfect" I saw Kiarra coming down and immediately went to tell her "Kiarra, your mom knows that Lily is my girlfriend because I told Ken that she is my girlfriend" "Ow ok I'll take care of you no problem" "Thank you for being so kind" "oh aunty, where is mom?" "She was picked up and will be here later" "ok, aunty, I'll just wait for mom" while I was waiting for mom, Lily was talking to aunt Elizabeth and aunt was asking if I treated Lily well "Does Rome treat you well?" "Yes ma'am, Rome is very kind, it's like someone taught him how to treat a woman correctly" "don't call me maam...just aunty" "I'm sorry aunty" My mom arrived and I told mom that aunt was in the lobby so they could talk "Mom, aunt is in the lobby looking for you" "Hello Rome, I'm happy to see you again" "Hello ma'am Elizabeth"

"Hello Alice" "Long time no see" "nothing is new to you ma'am, you are so beautiful" "You are also beautiful Alice, let's go eat, I know you're hungry" While we ate, my aunt mentioned that she wanted me for her daughter, Kiarra "Rome do you know that I want you for my daughter Kiarra" I suddenly choked on what aunt said "I'm sorry aunty but I only think of Kiarra as a friend and she knows that" "Ah, is that okay, Kiarra?" "Yes mom, that's ok" "It's really good that you're just friends, just call me Rome if you want Lily to get married, I'll take care of it" "Aunty, we are 18 years old, maybe over 30 years old, Lily and I are going to get married" "Wow Lily is your girlfriend congrats you didn't tell me" "Sorry mom I told you late" "It's ok, son, as long as you're happy, I'm happy" "Thank you mom" we finished eating and mom and aunt talked first, Kiarra approached me and said "Do you really think of me as just a friend?" "Yes kiarra I only think of you as my best friend" "Ok, I'll accept as long as you need something, I'm ready to help" "Thank you Kiara" I hugged Kiarra to thank her "We are going home ma'am Elizabeth" "Ow sure be careful Alice" "I will always be careful ma'am" "thank you aunty for inviting us for lunch" "No problem Rome, I think of you as my son, we won't stay here too long, we will leave again at the end of January" "You're only here for 1 week, don't worry, aunty, I'll come see you before you leave" we left and took mom home first "Rome son take care of yourself, take care of Lily too" "Yes mom, I will take care of myself, you too, mom, take care of yourself, I know you can do it" "Yes, I can" "Bye mom, we're going home" "be careful" Lily and I went home when we got to the dorm and Lily told me why I said that "Why did you say that?" "I said that to make them believe that we are in a relationship" "but aunt said that she will take care of our marriage" As I looked at Lily, she seemed to be blushing "Why do you think you want me to be your husband Lily?" "No, that will not happen in your imagination, that will happen" "you're blushing because it's obvious on your face" "I'm just tired, ok, I'll rest first" "Ok Ms Flos" I rested for a while and I remembered Kiarra's face earlier while she was saying those words, It's okay that we're just friends that's normal for a childhood best friend and Kiarra is still young she is only 16 years old I didn't remember much and went to sleep.
