Michael’s POV
Michelle came and joined Enzo and I at the balcony to gossip
“Nothing just Michel trailing behind a girl like a sheep without Shepard ”
“Funny enough he is a sheep, when did he start doing one night stands?”
“Perhaps after he ruined his perfectly imperfect relationship with his foul mouth and behaviour ”
“Well you aren’t any better, at this stage, father will be forced to arranged a marriage for you”
“Father wouldn’t do that, he believes in love”
“Excuse you, have you heard how he met mum?”
“Yes but our case is different, he wouldn’t do that to us ”
“I know he wouldn’t, well we are siblings after all, except am not as brainless as you two”
“Okay, smart ass”
I watched as Michel and the girl went to the dance floor, I hope he knew what he is doing, that girl looks like someone who is coming to the club for the first time, I want he’d him whisper something and she laughed, then they ordered for drinks, I moved my eyes away from them to see Elle lying on Enzo’s shoulders sleeping,
“You won’t wake her up?”
“It’s okay, I will wake her up when we are leaving ”
“Your shoulders won’t be able to circulate blood well?”
“It will don’t worry”
“…….”
“What??”
“Nothing ”
“It isn’t nothing, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Just wondering when you will tell her about your feelings ”
“Huh?”
“Come on, no need to pretend I am wrong, am not blind you see, I noticed the way you look at her”
“I….. I thought you hated the idea of me dating your sister?”
“Why would I do that? Will you hurt her?”
“Of course not, I would never do that to her, I like her, love her even”
“So why are you holding back?”
“I don’t think you noticed but your brother and father doesn’t really like me that well, so I want them to accept me first ”
“You think dad and Michel don’t like you? Wow you are dumb as dad says ”
“What??”
“Dad thinks you are going to start dating Ella on time, hereby cutting the time he has with his lovely daughter short”
“What do you mean?”
“Dad may act like he doesn’t like you but out if all the boys Elle introduced him to, you are the only one, he isn’t threatening to bankrupt his family ”
“So you mean your dad doesn’t hate me fir Ella?”
“No he doesn’t, he prefer you for Ella, (probably because you are scared of him enough to not hurt her), compared to others , I think you are the best choice ”
“The … Thank you a lot, it means a lot to me”
“No problem you are our friend too”
I looked out to the dance floor but Michel nor the girl was anywhere to be found, I checked my messages, while he isn’t a kid anymore, he can take of himself very well, I called the driver and he said he is just arriving, so Enzo woke Ella up who I noticed wasn’t actually sleeping as I thought, our eyes met and she smirked, that girl scares me sometimes,
I knew she always liked Enzo, none of the boys she brought to see father was her goal, she just was trying to make father like Enzo is the best person for her after all, it’s only Michel that really didn’t like Enzo, (because of his height ), there was a particular item he wanted to model but Enzo got chosen instead as the character he wanted to act as because his height matched the characters description, though his own character was popular, he wasn’t happy.
We are not short, we are quite tall about six inches five but Enzo is Six inches nine, Michel doesn’t hate him at all, just annoyed at his own height, that man child, he was manly when we were small but now he is all grown up, he is behaving like a baby.
We went home leaving him behind, we have our own apartment, (though Ella lives more at home than here ), Enzo carried the now sleeping Ella to her room and tucked her in before leaving and shutting the door, we bid each other by and went to our respective rooms.
Ella has a gift in designing whether cars or cloths but she is too lazy to make it a career, she only designs what she wants to wear nothing more, nothing less, that’s why I always take her designs and show dad who didn’t waste time to putting it to good use and in return gives her a car as a gift.
The amount of cars she has is up to Sevan plus her little Suzie Eight and we agreed that am taking a bike she design, it’s called Callie, it’s a beautiful bike that are of three models, racing, delivery and personal one, I have already sketched a proposal for it, just waiting for the revenue for Suzie small to come in before bringing another one.
The company is making new set if automobiles no one has ever seen just because of her and we are proud of her, she can quit acting anytime because she already has something doing but she is holding unto it because she thinks that dad will make her start work at the company, everyone already knew she is the brain behind the recent changes so she is scared she will have to work, Ella is lazy like that.
