“Where are they?” Brandon asked Stella after doing the dishes, “They already left!” Stella answered. She stood up from the couch and walked towards her room. “I will be gone for a week!” Stella said while facing the door of her room. “Where are you going?” Brandon asked her, which made Stella take a deep breath before answering.
“Out of town!” Stella answered, and Brandon nodded his head. “Just tell that to your father!” Brandon said, and Stella smirked at him. “Of course!” Stella answered and went inside her room.
She locked the door and leaned her back on the door, “That was close!” She whispered to herself. She walked towards the bathroom and washed her face. “I should pack my things now!” She said and got her luggage. She started getting her essentials from the cabinet and put all of them in her luggage. After preparing her things, she went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Brandon woke up when he felt someone moving inside their house. He opened his eyes and saw a shadow walking in the kitchen. He stood up from the couch and walked towards the kitchen. He was going to attack the intruder when the lights went on, “Stella?” Brandon called her.
“Are you going to attack me?” Stella asked him, and Brandon immediately stopped what he was going to do. “I thought that you were an intruder!” He answered, and Stella nodded her head. “No, I am not!” Stella answered and looked at him seriously.
“You can go back to sleep, Brandon!” Stella told him, “Are you going to sneak out?” He asked her again, which made Stella roll her eyes at him. “You don’t care about me, right? Just be yourself, Brandon!” Stella answered and got a bottle of water.
Stella went back to her room and immediately locked the door. “Why is he awake?” Stella whispered and put the bottle of water in her bag. She waited for half an hour to check if Brandon went to sleep. She opened the door lightly and looked in the living room.
Brandon lay on the couch but he couldn’t go back to sleep. He just closed his eyes but his mind was thinking about Stella. He heard a door open and he knew that it was Stella. He didn’t open his eyes and just listened to Stella’s movements.
Stella carried her luggage and didn’t look at Brandon who was sleeping on the couch. She carefully opened the main door and put her luggage outside. She went back to her room and got her another bag. When she got outside of their house, she immediately saw Sky waiting for her.
“You don’t need to sneak out if you already told him that you are-
“Stop! Let’s go!” Stella cut what Sky was saying, and they walked away.
Brandon was watching them leave from the window, “How nice of you, Stella!” Brandon said and went back to the couch.
“You are here!” Flora excitedly said when she saw Stella with her brother. “Of course, what car are we going to use?” Stella asked her, and Sky showed them his car keys. “Put all of your things at the back!” Sky told her, and Stella immediately did what Sky told her to do.
They went inside the car, and Sky started the engine. Stella put her seat belt on and looked outside, “We are going to have so much fun!” Flora said and fastened her seat belt. “Let’s go!” Sky said and started driving away.
After a couple of hours of driving, Sky decided to stop over to a convenience store. “Get what you want to eat and I will pay for it!” Sky told them, and they excitedly went out of the car. Stella was looking for some snacks when her phone beeped with a message.
‘Where are you?’ Stella was stunned when she read her sister’s message. She didn’t know how her sister knew that she left their house. She decided to message her sister back and turned her phone off.
“What happened?” Flora saw what Stella did, “Nothing!” Stella said and smiled at Flora. “Are you sure?” Flora asked her again, “Of course, Flora! I am fine!” Stella answered and patted Flora’s shoulder.
They went to the counter, and Sky paid for their snacks. They went back to the car, and Sky started driving again. “If you want to sleep, just sleep! Don’t mind me!” Sky told them, and Stella immediately shook her head. “Nah, we will never do that!” Stella answered, and Flora agreed with her.
Their trip went on and it was already noon when they reached their destination. Sky parked his car outside the beach that he promised to his sister and Stella. “Wow, this is so fabulous!” Flora said as soon as she got out of the car. Stella was looking around and mesmerised by the beauty of the beach. “How did you know this place?” Stella asked him when Sky stopped beside her.
“My Dad told me about this place!” Sky answered, and Flora immediately looked at him. “You went here without me?” Flora asked her brother, and Sky nodded his head. “It is not my fault!” Sky answered and patted Flora’s head.
“Let’s go inside!” Sky told them and they carried their things. Some of the staff welcomed them with a warm smile. “Welcome back, sir Sky!” One of them greeted Sky, “Thank you!” Sky answered her.
The staff accompanied them to their respective rooms, “We will not share a room?” Stella asked Flora, and Flora smiled at her. “I will have someone tonight in my room.” Flora answered, which made Stella shake her head in disbelief. “Have a nice night, my friend!” Stella teased her, and Flora nodded her head. “I will!” Flora answered and went inside her room.
“Why are you still outside? You don’t like your room?” Sky appeared beside Stella, “I like it!” Stella answered and went inside her room. She was scanning her room and putting all her things on the side table. “This is huge for me!” Stella said while fixing her things.
Someone knocked on the door so Stella stood up to open the door. “We will have a late lunch!” Sky told her, and she nodded her head. “I will just finish what I am doing!” Stella answered, and Sky smiled at her. “We will wait for you in the lobby! Be quick!” Sky told her, and Stella closed the door.
She continued what she was doing and after a couple of minutes, she was done. She got her ball cap and went outside her room.
“I’m sorry!” Stella told them as soon as she reached the lobby. “It is fine! I already served a table in a restaurant.” Sky answered, and Flora went to Stella. “My brother really likes to plan everything and all you need to do is be with him.” Flora whispered to her, “But I can’t do that!” Stella told her. “Drop the marriage, Stella!” Flora answered, and Stella immediately shook her head.
“You know that I can’t do that!” Stella told her, which made Flora take a deep breath. “Yeah, your father will be against it.” Flora answered, and they were both startled when Sky stopped walking.
“Eyes on the road, girls!” Sky warned them, and Stella nodded her head. They reached the restaurant that Sky was telling them. Some of the tourists were there enjoying their meal. “I can’t believe that we are socialising with mortals!” Flora said, and Sky immediately looked at his sister. “Don’t ever say that again, Flora!” Sky told his sister, “I’m sorry!” Flora answered.
“Good afternoon, a reservation under Sky Valko!” Sky told the waiter, “This way, sir!” The waiter answered him. They were following the waiter until they reached a private room. “Just wait for the staff that will assist you!” The waiter told them, and Sky nodded his head.
They sat in front of the table and after a couple of minutes, a waiter went inside their room. “Here’s our menu and everything on the list is available!” The waiter told them and handed them the menu. “Thank you!” Sky told the waiter.
Stella was choosing her food but she couldn’t decide what she should eat. She looked at Flora who was also struggling to choose her food. “What do you want to eat?” Stella whispered to Flora, “I don’t know! I am not a fan of seafood!” Flora answered and looked at Stella. “Just choose meat!” Sky told them, and Stella looked at the menu again.
After debating with herself, Stella finally chose a tenderloin as her food. She gave back the menu to the waiter, “Also one champagne, please!” Sky told the waiter before he went out of their room. “Are you going to treat us, Sky?” Flora asked her brother, “Of course!” Sky answered, and Flora looked at Stella. “You are just showing how rich you are!” Flora told her brother and smirked at him.
“That is good though!” Stella said and gave Sky a thumbs up. Their appetisers were served and they started eating, “I love this!” Flora said while pointing out the food that she was eating. “Chew your food first!” Sky told her, which made Flora roll her eyes at her brother.
Stella couldn’t stop herself from smiling after she witnessed how Flora and Sky fought. “Are you close with your sister, Stella?” Sky asked her, which made Stella stop eating. “What kind of question is that?” Flora asked her brother and tapped Sky’s arm. “It is fine, Flora!” Stella told her best friend, “What’s wrong with my question?” Sky asked his sister. “Nothing’s wrong with that! I am not close with my sister.” Stella answered, and there was silence in their room.
They immediately looked at the door when it opened and the waiter served their main course. “Thank you!” They didn’t forget to thank the waiter before he left the room. They started eating and Stella focused on her food.
After eating, Stella decided to go to the bathroom. “We will wait for you!” Sky told her, which made Stella smile at him. “Thank you!” Stella told him.
“That was so insensitive of you!” Flora rolled her eyes at her brother, “I didn’t know! I’m sorry!” Sky answered and looked at Stella who was walking outside the room.
Stella reached the bathroom and looked in the mirror, she remembered what her sister texted her. She got her phone and called her sister. “Thank God, you open your phone!” Daisha told her as soon as she answered her sister’s call. “What do you want from me?” Stella asked her sister, “Dad is looking for you!” Daisha answered.
“I’m with the Valkos!” Stella answered and wiped her lips. “Where are you?” Daisha asked her again, “Just let me take a rest for a while! I will be back after a week.” Stella answered and rolled the tissue that she was holding. “You know our father will get mad at you.” Daisha told her sister, which made Stella smirk while looking at her reflection.
“Nothing’s new with that!” Stella answered and put lipstick on. “Did you tell your mate about your trip?” Daisha asked her again, “Yeah! Don’t worry about that!” Stella answered and put her lipstick back in her pouch.
“I will call you again if I want to!” Stella said and ended the call. She washed her hands and dried them using some tissues. She went back to the room and Sky immediately stood up from his chair.
“I’m sorry-
“You don’t need to apologise, Sky!” Stella stopped Sky and sat on her chair. “Are you sure?” Sky asked her, and Stella nodded her head. “Yes, not a big deal!” Stella answered and looked at Flora. “Are you okay?” Stella asked her best friend, and Flora nodded her head.
“It is my first time seeing you wearing lipstick!” Flora said while looking at Stella’s lips. “You don’t like it?” Stella asked her, and Flora shook her head. “It is fine on you!” Sky answered, which made Stella look at him. “Thank you!” Stella said and smiled at him.
