Chapter 12 - Sister contest

While everyone was gaping at Leina's little burst of excitement, Alexander was quite happy at the progress he has made with her so far.

He looked over at the brother's and smirked,

'See that's a job done well'.

Leina was surprised by her own actions but decided to roll with it and eagerly introduced her siblings, " This is my oldest brother Lester and over there is Levy a champ if you ask me and over here is Liam and Louis, they only way you can tell them apart is by their height difference since Liam is an inch taller and Louis and myself are the same height oh and I am pleased to make your acquaintance Leina Reinhardt" she said with a curtsy.

To the Smiths this really seem like normal thing and were quite delighted by Leina's hospitality.

Reginald held a small smile while nodding at Logan and Giselle.

"So this is the nest huh quite impressive, thanks Leina dear for introducing your family, well this is my wife Michelle and my son Alexander and my princess Samantha" he briefly introduced his family as well. He noticed Alexander was the least surprised and he wondered why since the boy was so eager to meet his 'potential business partners' too bad the Reinhardt's weren't in the mafia but the look that his son held in his eyes as he looked at Leina told him something.

Lester came forward with Levy behind him they both nodded at the Smiths and led the way to the dining area whilst thinking the same thing, 'So could we brought a proper friend home, at least' while sighing since they knew how harsh society was towards them.

...

For someone who grew up in a room because of a 'dumb illnesses' Samantha was on edge hearing she could finally mingle with someone her age.

Due to her weak body she couldn't engage as much in physical activity like other children, coupled with the fact that she relied on an oxygen tank she could not make friends with anyone besides her brother.

Her illnesses went as far as to making her family move to Roning for her treatment.

As they traveled to the Reinhardt's all Samantha could do was gape at how stunning the estate looked, she initially thought that Lemoore was not beautiful but the Reinhardt's mansion was magnificent in her eyes.

With acres and acres of beautiful lush green grass and a three story mansion just magnificently standing that screamed luxury, for Samantha this summed up all she needed to know about her father's friends.

While she was admiring the interior of the place she completely forgot about her unease she held before and she missed the scene leina made.

She finally awoke from her daze with her brother gently squeezed her hand to help her sit at the dining table. Which she took bur paused awkwardly as she realized she did not officially greet anyone.

Alexander knew that this was the first time his sister has interacted with people other than their family and doctor's so he made sure to remind her not to be afraid, he saw her look up to meet his gaze and he smiled reassuringly.

"Right,Michelle I have reserved this side of the table for you and our little cutie" said Giselle while pinching Samantha's cheek.

"This seat over here is reserved for our princess only" said Giselle as she directed Samantha to her seat and helped her.

Liam and Louis jumped to help their mother place the dishes infront of Samantha making her shy away at their attentiveness towards her.

While the twins were helping their mother Levy noticed that Samantha was struggling to place her napkin on her lap so he asked, "May I?"

Samantha felt really uncomfortable by the siblings attentiveness but nodded out of politeness.

Lester felt left out and decided to guide everyone else to their designated seats and introduce each of the dishes Giselle made and gave Michelle a breakdown on the food that was made specifically for Samantha due to her health.

The whole scene had Reginald , Logan and Michelle smiling proudly at everyone's antics however Leina was baffled at the way her brothers turnt on her and completely forgot about her, usually they would be pestering her but they treated the Smiths daughter with such care.

She was disheartened however was distracted by Alexander who came to sit next to her and help place her napkin on her lap.

She was yet to recover from witnessing her siblings behavior and here came another who completely made her feel like her head could explode.

The Reinhardt brothers although they were busy they could see what Alexander was doing and felt a weird surge to compete with him.

Levy who was on Samantha right side asked, "Is the food to your liking?"

In a meek tiny voice Samantha replied "Yes it is."

"Do you need anything else"

"No .no... no thank you" she said as she bowed her head shying away from the attention she was getting.

"If you need anything you can ask me Leina" Alexander said loudly and proceeded to look at her intensely

"Samantha are you comfortable in your chair?"

"Samantha would you like a refill?"

"Leina here have mine."

"Samantha place your feet here to sut comfortably"

"Lei-"

"Enough" boomed Giselle with Logan beside her who looked at his boy's disapprovingly

"Could we please eat in silence, sorry Michelle, Reginald" said Giselle as she looked at the couple apologetically.

Reginald waved it off and Michelle shock her head and silently helped Samantha eat.

Whilst the boys bowed and eat there was two people who felt a sudden rush of emotions against the other.

Dislike.
