CATH knew that there is a miss when Brian asks her to come with him out of the blue. A peculiar thing for Brian to do, yet she couldn’t say no to her older stepbrother. “Where are we heading and why Brian?”She asks, yet Brian stayed quiet and does not even a word, to begin with. “Whatever this is and wherever you are taking me, it should not be about and to where Sam is.”Her warning, that Brian could not help but smirk. Yet, perfectly in a time where Cath didn’t notice a thing. “This is a trap, isn’t it?”Cath’s suspicion that Brian casually ignores, knowing if he will make any random expression or two Cath will go bunkers and demand for him to stop the car and leave. Which is not even an option, to begin with. “Fine!”Finally giving up, Cath is disappointed, and irritated, but in a panic. Knowing that this is a trap. ‘CALM DOWN CATH. JUST BREATHE AND IF ANYTHING IS A MISS, JUST RUN AWAY AND FAST.’Her plan and consolation to herself, thinking that this day will not end up good
“SINCE you are holding that guitar with you. Then make me.”A dare that Sam couldn’t back away from nor say no to. “Prepare yourself to swoon.”Sam’s smile with those eyes of his made Cath’s heart skip a beat and turns her ears a blushing pink. But before it could get any worse, she immediately snaps out of it, held her poker face upfront, and accepted the challenge. “Alright!”Monique cheers giving Sam along with Cole a high five and immediately rush to Lindsey and Brian’s side who are standing not that far away from them. “I’m not owning this song. I modify it a bit, but I hope that you will get the message.”Sam’s introduction before strumming the guitar made Cath giggle upon realizing that it is one of the most popular songs back during their freshmen years in high school. “I’m good at creating time.”“I don’t think so.”Cath protested and immediately looked at the twins that caught Sam’s attention, yet continues playing his guitar and answering Cath’s little protest. “Okay,
“DOES this mean that you and daddy are okay now, Miss Cath?” Monique’s question took Cath off guard. With the little girl who is anticipating the positive response, just how could she say to Monique that what the little girl is thinking right now is not the exact way that it all is? “And you will not quit being our nanny, right?” Now with the twins’ hoping smiles towards her. It makes her feel worse if she will deny even a little of the misunderstanding that the twins have right now. “It may not exactly be what it is, but you wouldn’t let the twins down, right, Cath?” Lindsey added her burden. Reading her mind and the truth that she wanted to explain and make the twins understand. “Well.” She hesitates, looking at Sam with a knowing look and telling her with the expression on his face that it isn’t his fault that the twins are thinking that their original misunderstanding is solved. “Far from what the reality is, but.” Cath whispers and enough only for herself to hear thos
“LET’S see who will last up to the very end.” Xander’s threatening words and challenge for Sam. All after the supposed to be lunch date for the entire family turns chaotic upon the arrival of Cath’s younger dotting brother. “Alexander!” Xander’s fans swarm over the restaurant. But before they could cause a scene or any trouble, Brian already handle the situation with the group of guards standing outside the restaurant and restraining the fans to rush inside. "If you are prepared to lose, then let’s start this game.” Sam’s reply and acceptance of Xander’s challenge that doesn’t help even a bit with the turns chaotic situation that they are into. “If daddy will win against Xander, will my number one idol be my uncle, aunt Lindsey?” Monique’s words and hoping tone that Lindsey immediately nods in agreement. Making the little girl squeal in excitement. Not just for the reason that she is with the country’s famous idol, but when Sam defeats Xander, he will be her uncle. “Becomin
“DADDY, I want strawberry cake and Cole wants a chocolate one.” Monique cheerfully requested with a bit of her bratty attitude. “Anything that you want.” Sam that is on cloud nine agrees and might as well for everything for the job well done and the great contribution that the twins had done. “I knew it.” Cath could only whisper in a bit of dismay. Knowing what Sam is thinking and thankful about. But she couldn’t protest, for she doesn’t want to ruin the fun of the twins, and the cheerful accomplishment of the day. “Where almost there!” Monique cheers and giggles. Look outside and after a few minutes, they finally arrive. “We’re here, we’re here, we’re here.” The little girl laughs in excitement while jumping from her seat with Cole doing the same thing like imitating his older twin sister. “Shall we?” In a gentleman’s way or a bit of a play from the Casanova. Sam asks Cath and at the same time reaches for his hand which she gladly accepts. Making the twins giggle. “
“XANDER?” Cath almost screams in surprise upon seeing her younger brother entering the restaurant. Worse with his screaming fans that without Brian’s quick thinking the restaurant is now flooded with them. “Come on, what is it this time?” Cath’s protest and the added pain in the butt, with Xander’s schemes that are way overboard. Along with some entrance that is influenced by Xander’s love for Asian teen dramas and anime from Japan. “Alexander.” Sam stands and immediately greeted Xander with a fist bump that Xander ignored and instead looks at Sam with a death glare. “Do not act like we are good. For I am here to put you in your place, and that place is away from my sister.” Xander claims that the entire crowd is all busy screaming and fanning around that if it is not the security that Brian called and quickly. They are long been eaten and shoved aside. “It’s My Prince Xander!” Monique squeals in glee and excitement upon seeing her idol. That Lindsey immediately corrected
“WINNER! Samuel Lawrence!” Surprise, Cath looks at Lindsey who had the knowing look on her face, and whispers. “I told you so.” Lindsey’s proud smile. “You did it daddy!” Monique screams in joy with Cole in two and jumps towards Sam’s arms. Carrying the twins in both of his arms, Monique smiles and excitedly asks. “This means that Miss Cath will be our mommy, right?” The twin’s enthusiasm about the topic almost drops Cath’s jaw. Delighted Lindsey, Brian who is on the neutral side. And Xander is more than irritated for a while, but couldn’t directly protest knowing that it was all an innocent hope of the kid. “Well, It’s not up to me.” Sam then looks at Cath with those smiles of his that can bring any woman’s heart melt, but not for Cath. Those eyes of his that at the moment is captivating. Along with his cheekbone and dimples, no one can deny how strikingly good-looking he is. “Miss Cath?” Monique immediately eyes with an expression of hope and more than wondering. Expe
EVERYTHING is set for the second game everyone is all eyes into. Phone up and recording, Lindsey is the only one who is loving every moment, while Cath is left on the side to suck everything up. “Are both parties ready?” Brian asks in a manner like playing some kind of a role as the judge, referee, and coordinator. Which couldn’t be denied that he too is amused by what is happening. “Tsk!” Xander smirks, confident that he will win this bet against Sam. That is the other hand is also confident in his way of both proving himself to Xander and having his permission for Cath. Even though he is not directly expressing it, nor showing it to his face. “Listen up!” Brian took everyone’s attention and started explaining the game thinking that the new generations aren’t aware of the old games of the past. “The rule is simple, whoever will eliminate all of the opponent’s cups by landing the ping pong ball to its cup will win. Each cup the player must drink and bottoms up! The last one
