Chapter 10
On getting to the kitchen I saw Carolyn preparing Breakfast.
" Good morning Carolyn".
" Good morning dear" she replied turning towards my direction grazing me with a smile. " I'm almost done with breakfast".
"Okay, do you need any help. I can help take it to the dinning room" I offered.
" Sure thing, thank you" she said with a grateful smile.
" No, problem" I said and carried the food prepared to the dinning room.
Today's breakfast consists of sausage and cheese egg muffins and it look super delicious and taste divine. I glanced at Alexander, who is sitting beside me finishing his breakfast.
A smile touched my lips when I notice a few bread cramps on his cheek. I wipe it off with a napkin making him grin at me. However Giovanni isn't here yet, I wonder were he was since we practically woke up together. I thought back to what happened when I woke up and how nice his hands felt on my skin.
While lost in thought, Giovanni emerges in the dinning room, he took his sit to eat. He turned to look at me, doing a double look on my appearance.
" Why are you dressed up?. Where are you going." He asked, raising his eyes brown up and as he tilt his head in confusion.
" I'm going out ." i stated in a sassy manner
"Going out. Where?." He asked suspiciously.
" I want to visit my parents. I really miss them."
"Okay, Alfred will take you there when you're ready to go."
Alfred is one of Giovanni bodyguard and driver. I'm not really a fan of bodyguard but I was grateful that Giovanni assigned him to me since I don't know how to drive yet
We continued our breakfast in silence and I couldn't help but stare at him. Wait, why can't i stop . Why can't I stop staring at him?.
Maybe it's the fact that you find him handsome and that you are attracted to him. I thought to myself.
" Let go Alex" Giovanni puts his coffee he was holding back down on the table.
Alexander gets up from his chirping and sling his backpack across his shoulder.
" Bye Roy" he beams at me and I hug him.
" Bye Alexander" i give him a warm smile.
" If you need anything don't hesitate to call" Giovanni said sincerity sipping from his words.
" I won't " I guaranteed, waving them goodbye watching as the car drove off.
I had nothing to do at home, so i toured my neighborhood to get familiar with the place. I saw a small bakery called Heaven, excited to know what they make I entered the bakery. I was greeted with the sweet aroma of cake and baked bread filling my senses, It was slightly sweet scent that somehow smelt warm, like I was inhaling a blanket of cupcakes on a cold winter day.
There were only few people sitting at the table, eating cake and sipping their drinks. I walked to counter and met a guy with a Chestnut brown hair and blue eyes. He looks cute but I couldn't help comparing him to Giovanni.
Definitely did not know where that came from.
" Hi, can i have a vanilla creamy cheesecake and a ice tea." I said politely.
" Hi too you, take a sit and i will be right there with your order". He smiled ".
It wasn't up to 30seconds before he came with my order.
" Here is your order beautiful." He said smiling warmly at me.
" Thanks" I said.
" I'm Andrew"
" Royalty" I replied, taking a taste of the cake and I was marveled. " This is good, like really good" I complimented.
" Thank you, you're always welcome to come here" he went back to the counter to receive orders from other customers leaving me alone to the delicious taste of the cake. When I was done eating I went over to pay.
" This is on the house, since you are a new face" he said not accepting the money, I tried convincing him to take the money but failed miserably.
" Thank you so much " we said our goodbyes and I walked out of the bakery. I called Alfred to come pick me up.
It wasn't up to a minute before I saw Alfred driving towards my direction and did I fail to mention that it was a Lamborghini.
" Good day ma" Alfred said as he came out of the car to open the door for me.
" Good day Alfred. Just call me Royalty or Roy instead" I didn't feel comfortable with him calling me ma since we are almost the same age.
" I will Roy" he said with a smile on his face " where to Roy"
" My parents house"
It's been long since I saw them and I missed them. I know the company is doing well now because Giovanni told me.
An hour later, we were driving through the gate of the house I grew up in. I had always asked my parent why they spent so much building such a big house but as usual my dad had to live up to his status.
I knocked on the door and one of the house keeper opened, telling me my dad was at his office and my mum was at the library. She always did that when she wants to while away time.
I walked upstairs towards my dad office and knocked softly until he gave me instruction to come inside. I was welcomed with the view of my brother and dad having a discussion about the company. Immediately they saw me, their face broke into a wide grin and before I could think twice, I ran towards my dad side giving him a hug with tears rolling down my face then turned to my brother to give him a bone crushing hug , making him placing a kiss at the top of my head.
I have really missed them a lot.
" How are you doing sweetheart" my dad asked while I settled down at one of the office chair.
" I have been great, what about you, mum and Richard" I asked with a small laugh.
" We have been good dear, but I miss seeing you around here." My dad said
" Yeah Roy, we all missed your drama, your prank and childishness" my brother said with a teasing tone.
" I'm not childish" I scoff in disbelief.
" Yes you are" Richard answered back talking in a baby voice.
" Please! you're one to talk ant- man" I said with a smirk on my face.
My dad at this point was having a full blown laughter at our bicker and my brother face was a shade of red at the nick name.
" I can't believe you're still calling me that, drama queen" he chuckled at the nickname. I stick my tongue out to him in a childish manner, we stated making silly faces at each other. I have really missed this.
" I have missed you so much Roy" my dad said " the house is kind of quiet without you around"
" Of course, i am one of a kind" I answered in a playful sass, we all burst out laughing.
My brother was about to say something when the sound of the door opening interrupted us.
" Do you need me to prepare lunch for you " my mum entered not looking up, she was staring at her phone " the only thing the two of you do all day is work and work and work, like I don..." She falters after finally raising her head up to look in my direction in shock.
And they call me the dramatic one.
I stood up to walk towards her, pulling her into a hug.
" Oh my gosh, Roy " she squealed excited, with the way she was acting one would think we hadn't seen each other in years instead of in a weeks.
" Mum, always so energetic" I said playfully.
" Why didn't you tell me you were coming, we have much catching up to do. How is married life?. Hope he is treating you well?. Did anything exciting happen" she asked in one breath. I blushed a little at her last question as she wiggle her eyes in a suggestive manner".
" Take it easy mum " my brother said, him and dad laugh softly.
" Come on mum, one question at a time" I scolded, amusement sip from my voice making her pout in response " and to answer your questions, everything is fine. Something exciting Happened but not in the way your thinking" I told her.
" Well, tell me all about it when we prepare lunch, let's leave these boring men" she said throwing my dad and brother a stink eyes, dragging me out of the door as my brother and dad laugh at my mum's behavior.
We made lunch together. my mom and I filled each other up on things we have missed and I asked her why they didn't tell me about Alexander in which she explained, saying it wasn't her secret to tell and that Giovanni wanted to be the one to tell me, which I completely understand. After lunch I spent a little bit of time with my family before going home.
