Author POV
The sun was high in the sky, casting golden light over the mansion. The Watson family's arrival the previous day had been lively and full of chaos, but today brought another layer of excitement:keifer Watson hid five friends were coming.
Max and Celina had volunteered to pick them up from the airport, knowing it would make the transition smooth. After dropping keifer's five friends at the hotel, they drove straight back to the mansion with keifer.
As they arrived, Max helped carry keifer's luggage into the mansion. The grand halls and the luxury of the Mariano home didn't seem to faze keifer ; he walked in calmly but with his usually confident aura.
Jeana : " Hii, keifer! Welcome to our home. I hope you like it. "
Keifer : " Oh, thank you so much, aunty. Everything looks amazing . "
Jasfer : " Yes, and Max. Show him his room, freshen up:I'm sure you're tired from the flight"
Keifer : " Thank you so much, uncle, aunty. I really appreciate your care. "
Jasfer : " Oh, it's nothing. We're all family now."
Max guided keifer to his room.... A space arranged perfectly, comfortable, modern, yet welcoming.
Keifer unpacked his belongings, and showered, and came down to the Hall, talking in the phone with his coach.
Keifer (on call) : " Yeah I'll finish my training tomorrow ... No, everything's fine here, I just... "
Then, his eyes landed on a massive photo wall in the Hall. Dozens of photos, all of the se person.... Jayjay.
A small smile appeared on his face. He had been waiting for this moment, looking forward to seeing her again after their last encounter in the UK.
At the exact moment, jayjay entered the Hall with her bag, still talking to someone on the way.
When their eyes met both froze.
Keifer : " Jay??! "
Jay : " Keiferrrrrr!!? "
Jay angrily, crossing her arms.
" Why the hell are you doing in my home? "
Keifer ( equally shocked) :"that's the same question! Why are you here? "
Jay : " Huh? It's my house, not yours. "
Keifer : " Yours? "
Jay : " Yessss!! "
Just then, Max walked over with a broad smile, wrapping a hand around Jay's shoulder.
Max : " Keifer, this is Celina's little sister, jayjay entered. And Jay, this is my other brother keifer. "
Both and keifer froze for a moment shock, disbelief, and a hint of irritation flashed across their faces.
Jay : " Huh... This giraffe. "
Keifer : " Ohhh... You tiny tornado. "
Max : " Wait... Did you guys know each other before? "
Both (simultaneously )
"Yaa... Long story. "
Jay's tiny frame and firey temper crashed with keifer's tall, calm, confident presence.
After that at dining area Jay's tell ever think about them. How they met, chaos in UK, and keifer irritating Jay every time.
And in that chaos , it was clear.... These next few weeks would be full of energy, fun, and unexpected moments, all starting with this dinner.
