22 Back together
Enzo look like a zombie when he sat up from his desk. The dark circles around his eyes is unhidden. He's been fighting like crazy through online just to make a fuss on a certain company's assets since they messed up with a wrong family. But where in hell is his brother messing? He should be home.
Then maybe he shouldn't contact him though. He might be busy or something. He suddenly stop when his door opens and his beloved sister came in. He glance at the clock it's 4 in the morning why was she early?
"Hey, babe wassap?" She lifted her tablet.
"What happened?"
"Of course, they will be sued later on. Ethan would call or something. But it seemed our brother has other businesses to do." She tilt her head in question then she finally snapped her fingers with a gaping mouth like 'ahh' and bounce her head. She then scribble on her table.
"I see that he's getting laid." Enzo laugh out loud. He should be the one to get laid."Sleep and work on your abs later." He pouted. It only means that she's going to give him a nice beating later.
"Urgh!"
He did sleep and after an hour of sleep, he went to the gym and started stretching. It seemed that her fiancé is still sleeping. He thought that the man is insomniac but it seemed that he love to sleep. She attack him without warning and he's used to it. With her super speed, he dodge her for momentarily and he did receive a good beating.
"Please no more!"
He ran off and she run after him. They run around the house until to the stairs of East wing. He even jump halfway from the stairs and the little bitch jump from the second floor and he scream. Of course her fiancé was passing by with his parents to get ready for their departure to Tagaytay.
"Sabrina!" he weaned her to stop but she didn't. He even throw the vase to her but she caught it expertly and throw it back to him.
"Enzo that thing is expensive!" Their step mother said aloud to stop them.
"Sorry." He put it back and took another dolphin figurine and throw it to her and instead of catching it she dodge it and the glass shattered.
"Babe, come on! Why did you dodge that?" Enzo weaned."That was expensive!" She gave him a question look, like 'why-did-you-throw-it-first?' But of course she did it in purpose to annoy the step-mother.
"Sweetheart." Gabby calls. She turn to him and smiled at him."Mom and Dad are here." She just realize that his parents are there. She wave at them and they smiled at her since she's so charming. She hugged him affectionately and he kisses her top head though she's all sweaty."Done playing?" She nodded.
Enzo exhales relieved and still couldn't look at their display of affection.
"Oh please, you saved me from her but it doesn't mean that anyone save me from your PDAs!" He look at his watch to find that it's already seven in the morning. Damn, he needed sleep.
He was about to leave but suddenly, his brother came up, dragging a woman with him. He rose his brows. The petite woman was so familiar. She's wearing a simple shirt and pants.
"Aunty, Uncle!" Ethan greet Gabriel's parents.
"Ethan, how are you?"
"I am good." He greet Gabriel's mother cheek to cheek and handshake for the father.
Gabriel glance at the woman he is with. One of his employees. She look uncomfortable around.
"Who is she?" Janine suddenly asked and they look at the woman that Ethan drag with. Janine analyze the woman from head to toe.
Aria was staring at Janine like she had seen a ghost. The first one to notice her reaction was Sabrina. The first time that she look at Aria, she said to herself that she's quite familiar and now she realize why. It seemed that Aria wanted to hide at that moment.
"Oh, everyone, this is Aria my girlfriend. My dear, this is my step-mother Janine, my triplet sibling, Enzo and Sabrina. You know them and this is Gabriel and his parents—" and Marga walk down from stairs like royal princess does gracefully."That's Marga, my step-sis."
"G-good morning."
"Since when did you pick up a girlfriend?" Enzo grins and strode to Aria and gave her a big hug.
"You stink! Don't do that to my girlfriend."
"Hey! You stink as well."
Aria relaxes and wanted to reach Ethan's hand but she held herself back because it was already cold and sweating after seeing Janine.
"Master's, Ladies, guests, let's head to the garden for breakfast." The old butler announced.
Aria was too careful on everything and she wasn't used on the luxury. There are few butlers serving them and maids. She receive a tablet from Ethan's sister. She heard from him that she stop talking after their mother died. So she read her words.
"We meet again." She look at Sabrina quizzically. She never met her personally but she look so much familiar to her. Sabrina's lip curl up and sipped on her tea. She scroll the tablet."Who's more handsome? Ethan or Enzo?" She wanted to laugh on her question. Though it was written down on the tablet, it still sound humorous.
Ethan peek on the tablet and frown at Sabrina.
"Is there a question to that babe?" he asked his sister skeptically."You know that Enzo and I are identical but I am more handsome and attractive than him?"
"Hatchoo!" Enzo sneeze while striding toward the table."Someone is cursing me!" He said aloud."So Aunti, who do you prefer, Ethan or I?" He asked settling down on the vacant seat next to Aria.
"You guys are clearly identical." Marga said.
"But I am more attractive. Twins... triplets are different from each other in few ways. Right, Ari?"
"Uhh, Sabrina is beautiful." Sabrina bit her lip to avoid laughing. Aria gave the tablet back to Sabrina.
She never saw the boss being all lovey dovey toward his fiancée. She heard that it was arranged but from the look of it, they seemed like into each other. Her boss was cool and cold. Dominant and very much powerful, never she saw him acting like that and smiling and laughing freely.
"Stop thinking other man, while I am beside you." Ethan whisper on her ear. She was stunned and the electricity from him was strong. She nudge him and found Sabrina observing them. She bow her head a little in embarrassment. But Sabrina smile and half admire her brother flirting.
Aria was comfortable around with Ethan, Enzo and Sabrina. But with her boss, she's a little careful. But with Marga's eyes and Janine's eyes on her, she felt too conscious about herself. She glance at Sabrina and she say something with her eyes.
Aria stayed on Ethan's room while he is telling his butler on what to pack. Another butler came with an adorable burgundy bag.
"Master here's your request." Ethan took it and put it on the bed beside her.
"Here's your thing for our two day vacation."
She frown and look at him.
"What?"
"Are you still on this Ethan?"
"Just this once, okay? You didn't prepare for this so I have to." He reach her chin and kisses her nose.
"Ethan if you keep buying whatnots and try to spoil me like this—it's not going to work out. Okay?"
"Okay." He retreated back, defeated again.
"Ethan, " she reach his hand and he look down at her."I don't want you to buy my love. I will willingly give it to you, just don't hurt me or betray me or do something that might break us apart."
He gently lay his eyes on her and kneel down in front of her.
"Does this means that we are back together?"
"But still, I don't belong to your world."
