4 - Get Out

She straightened up and went to the restroom. She would simply soak in the tub in order to get a good night's sleep later. He intends to return home despite the fact that he was not present on her birthday? She swung around and dashed to the bathroom.

When she decided to go out, it took her almost two hours to soak. She simply wrapped the towel around her body while singing, which sounded almost out of tune. She could feel what she was singing and went straight to the walk-in closet after closing her eyes. She abruptly untangled the towel's knot from her body.

"Fuck!"

When she heard that curse, her eyes widened. When she looked at Azael, she let out a loud scream.

"Azael, get out!!!" she exclaimed as she embraced her nakedness. In her embarrassment, she does everything she can to avoid Azael. She was also upset with his brother, and she rarely saw him. She hadn't seen her since the incident in her room, but it irritated her even more.

"Hey, Amara baby!"

She was preoccupied. She recognized Theon's voice when he called her name. Herrence, who always has a serious expression on his face, is with him. If she sees Herrence smile, it might be a miracle, but it's her two crushes! As she stared at them, her eyes formed a heart. Her fortune! She believes it is raining hearts. She laughed quietly to herself.

"Yeah?" she said casually in their presence. She should just play it cool.

"Do you want to come?" Theon asked, smiling. His grin can be frightening at times, like that of a mad dog.

She took a look at the wristwatch she was wearing. It was early in the morning, and she was accompanied by another, Theon, and Herrence. She agreed with a quick nod. Herrence just shrugged, and she noticed he was holding a bouquet of roses, whereas Theon was holding chocolates in one hand. Her eyes widened and she looked at them with skepticism.

“Omo! Do you have a romantic relationship?! " She screams like a maniac.

Theon gave her a strong pinch. "Haleer!" Theon teased her, "We're cousins, Amara." You're insane."

She burst out laughing at what Theon did. It's okay to be gay, and she is, of course.

I'm joking. Of course, she was aware that Theon and Hudson were cousins. That's why she has crushes on them, but her brother Azael is more attractive. When she remembered her brother, she smirked.

Theon quickly wrapped his arm around her as they walked to his car in the parking lot. It was a good thing she decided to go window shopping and watch a movie because she got lucky and saw two of her handsome crushes. It's nice to have something to take home with them.

Herrence had his own car, so she and Theon rode in Theon's car. It's awkward riding with Herrence because he always carries the world and doesn't say anything except when he talks to her cousin Cuhen and her older brother Azael.

"Where are we going? Don't tell me we're going to run away? I'm not ready yet!”

Theon laughed aloud. He was almost choked by her ridiculousness and her entire face turned bright red. Is there something wrong with what she said?

"Wow! You have a great sense of smell, Amara baby. How did you know we'd flee like lovers? ”

"Really?" she exclaimed, her eyes widening. "But not yet, Theon! I still want to finish senior high, 'coz Mommy will be upset if I don't." She laughed at the same time. What she said earlier was a joke anyway.

It made him laugh even harder. "Damn, Amara! Stop me or I'll really kidnap you."

"Huh?"

"Nothing. You're insane!" he still laughs and focus his attention on the road.

She stopped talking and turned to her cellphone. Their commute took an hour due to light traffic, and she noticed they were in Forbes Park. They park the car outside. Herrence came down first, holding the flower bouquet in one hand. She didn't wait for Theon to open up to her, she went straight out and looked around. She liked the design of a modern mansion.

"Who owns it?"

"Why, will you buy it?"" Herrence was emotionless.

She was taken aback by the man's response. If she hadn't had a crush on it, she might have fought Herrence; fortunately, she was kind to her crushes.

As they entered the house, Theon put his arm around her shoulder, and she was surprised to Cuhen and his doctor girlfriend Florae and two women she doesn't know by name plus junk foods are arranged in the center of a round table. Only one thing is missing: beer.

"Where's that fucker, Azael?" Herrence inquired immediately.

She blinked when she heard her brother's name. Is he also here? Will she see her older brother? Oh no!

"Preparing our drinks," Cuhen replied, "Hey, Amara sweety, good thing you're here."

She was taken aback by her cousin's smile; she wasn't used to it. It was smiling at her because it resembled Herrence, who was far too strict!

Theon was still putting his arm around her shoulder when her older brother emerged from where he was carrying two buckets of San Mig lights..

“Drinks are ready—” He stopped whatever he was going to say when his eye hit her. It was slightly surprised to see her mostly in Theon's hand on her shoulder while the latter smiled as if he owned her.

"These are the flowers that you asked me to bring." Herrence tossed the flower to Azael.

"Is this mine?" Suddenly, a woman with shoulder-length blonde hair stood up.

When viewed, it is slim and appears to be a doll. A scary doll named Annabelle. It approached Azael directly and took the flower he was holding.

She rolled her eyes and smirked. Isn't it the first time it's received a flower? She wanted to ask that, but she remained silent.

"Thank you, babe."

She frowned quietly as she hugged and kissed her older brother on the lips. Her heart ached as she witnessed what she saw. The toy! She forced herself to recall the woman's face. She raised an eyebrow when she remembered it was the woman who was with him at the restaurant. The woman was the reason Azael didn't show up for her birthday and why he no longer had time for her as his sister. It's the woman he says he'll marry when she's ready. Why didn't she like that idea?! They don't fit each other.

"Who brought my sister here?" Azael's eyes, which were fixed on her, devoid of emotion. He ignore the woman clinging to him.

"Me!" Theon, who was still grinning, raised his hand in the air.

"Fuck you."

"Thank you."

"That's it." Cuhen snatched the bottle. Azael took the book Azael was holding and opened it without saying anything. "For your newly purchased mansion and new girl..."

Is this mansion her brother's? Not bad. Maybe it's for the woman he's going to marry, so he bought her her own mansion. She rolled her eyes and motioned for Theon to take a seat because they were likely the only ones standing.

"Why, will you buy it?"" Herrence was emotionless.

She was taken aback by the man's response. If she hadn't had a crush on it, she might have fought Herrence; fortunately, she was kind to her crushes.

"Amara is only seventeen. My sister can't drink! You shouldn't have brought her here, idiot," her brother yelled.

"Stop being so protective! I can do whatever I want," she stared at him, but when she looked at Theon, she smiled sweetly. She has no idea why she did that in front of them. She wants to pester Azael. She's cute, eh?

"Let's ignore your brother, Amara baby," Theon winked at her and drew her to the sofa next to Herrence.

Great! Her two crushes were right next to her. This is it! In the middle of them, she quickly grabbed her cellphone and said, 'cheese.' Everyone was smiling except for Azael, whose face the entire world covered and couldn't seem to paint. Later, she will draw a cross on the face of her brother's witch girlfriend!
