"It's been a fucking week already, get yourself together bro!" Emily banged on the door as Yandel refused to come out of his room.He had been sulking for the past week staying up in his room and coming home late for breakfast and dinner and working out over time. It was something everyone knew about Yandel, whenever he was sad or felt down he would leave his apartment in the city and stay at the family house just to sulk, she wasn't about to let him sulk alone. It was hard to see Yandel all worked up over a girl, he was that type of guy, he was always focused on work and didn't let things like relationships and heartbreaks let him down, but now, she sees that he really likes Araceli."Come on bro, for real, this ain't cool," Ethan agreed with Emily who gave him a look telling him that he should shut the fuck up or she was gonna make him regret waking up this morning, but as usual, her dumb twin brother will forever remain the same Dumb Ethan."What!" Ethan exclaimed, putting his han
"Are we seriously heading towards her now with her friends staring at us like that?" Ethan asked, looking over at them.There was a girl with seriously bleached blond hair and another guy with paler skin and full eyebrows. They all looked like models from a magazine just chilling around."Are you seriously going to meet her right now?" Emily asked, dragging Yandel's hand back who seemed to be in a trance as he just kept working towards her.She had to admit, she had never seen her brother so out of his element like she was seeing him today, he lacked composure and those million dollars worth built confidence. Now he was just like a nerd being drawn towards his crush just to spill shit like, "what toothpaste do you use?" she didn't want her brother to be the uncool one in this scenario."I'm just going to say hi, nothing more. It will be weird and pretty childish seeing her and then ignoring the fact that she's right there looking at her.""Well, no one said it is exactly a bad thing Y
"Okay okay, well, I'm planning a dinner meeting with my Mom and Dad with the Millers and I thought just to spice it up, to invite you guys, since Alice will be there too," Rachel pitched, looking at them excitedly.They all had looks filled with uncertainty and doubt written all over their face, Ricky kept staring back at Amy and then back at her while Yandel's expression was nothing close to readable instead his face was more stuck in a confused look like he couldn't help but not see reason to what she was doing."Okay, let me get this straight, even though I'm not." Ricky started, facing her squarely since he was sitting direct opposite her."You want us to come to a dinner party where you are going out with your soon to be ex-fiancé in front of his parents and his brother?!" Ricky stated, staring at her wildly like she had started growing a second head."Okay Araceli, not that I'm not up for some premium violence and everything, I mean you know I love drama and I literally live and
"We should join them soon, before Ace decides to come here himself…"All three of them stood up and joined them to play different games which went down with Rachel and Yandel being all competitive with each, and it wasn't the cute type of competition, it was the competitive bitterness when the other lost. They left the glow hockey and finally decided to go to the bowling alley section when they formed three groups, Amy and Ricky, Yandel, Rachel and Ace and the twins, they debated having an official lunch before or after the game but then after the game won the vote and the team with the lowest points got to pay for lunch. Yandel and Rachel went to get the bowling shoes for them while the rest waited by the benches close to the pit."Good afternoon, ma'am." Yandel greeted the mid fifty looking woman behind the counter, he didn't expect such an elderly woman to work in a place like this, at léast not the counter."I know what you are thinking, I'm just covering for my son who had an a
Chapter 48: Rachel's past memories"You got this," Yandel whispered in her ear, as he gently brushed her hair behind her ears, she could hear a faint "woo!" from someone, probably Ricky but right now all she felt was Yandel's hand around her and his steady heart beat. It all felt to be really slowing down time taking a deep breath, she took the shot, she watched it roll slowly down towards the gutter before rolling back to the center knocking down all the pins.A huge surge of happiness consumed her as she squealed shouting yes, she turned around and jumped on Yandel who was also wearing a wide grin on his face, he lifted her up as swung her around and she she kissed him on the check not really registering what she just did, but in that very moment, it all felt right.Yandel's deep voice deep in her ears and his strong arms around her as he spinned her around before dropping her back on the floor, after the whole victory celebration dance they both turned back to the group to see all
"You guys make a really cute couple," Angela said, smiling at both of them.A huge pause reigned over them as they both stared awkwardly at each other then at Angela who didn't catch the awkward cue, instead continued smiling sweetly at both of them as if it was a totally normal thing to do.Yandel looked back at Rachel who had a small smile on her face, she really looked prettier in casual clothes than she did in her business attire. From the little show they put on back at the bowling site, his hands still felt warm. He knew he was nowhere near getting over this woman, and at the same time, he couldn't afford to lose what they had as friends, thinking back to all the times he had treated her badly or mocked her reserved and timid character.First time he legit saw her was at a fundraiser back in Berlin where she went with her parents, they were both fresh grads from the top notch business school all their parents went to. He was with Maya as his date and she was able to attend beca
Xander sat deep in thoughts in his office, tomorrow was the dinner between his family and the Garcia's, and he couldn't lie, anytime he thought about the mere thought, he felt sick in his stomach and a dark cloud of dread over his head, He could clear hear his Dad's voice in his head and he could remember the day he was told he would be engaged."Dad, you called me?" Xander said, as he stood at the entrance of his Father's study, the doors were made of huge dark mahogany wood with some ancient carvings on it, the whole house itself was two century years old owned by his great great great great grandpa Miller. He built the house of smart taxes and IFF rates then according to his grandfather, the house was passed down the line from son to son, even though they still had several mansions in several cities and countries, this was the most visited one. He didn't bond well with his father while growing up due to his father always running the business and sometimes his mother would tag alo
"You are a genius babe," Xander whispered against Alice's lips, smiling. That was the perfect plan. Typically, there is the unsaid law every elite knows. Once there is a fundraiser, every other plan has to be canceled and business Moguls have to be in attendance even though it is on very short notice. Rich people are weird, I know.Readjusting his shirt and tucking in the loose part that got out while making out, he left the front of the desk where he had placed Alice while making out, he went to sit on his off-white leather seat office chair. He decided to make a quick call to his mother to spread the word and start the planning, even though it was on short notice. He knew that was not going to be her focus, the mere thoughts of her planning the fundraiser will take her mind off it."No babe, we were in the middle of something," Alice whined, turning around to look at him on his seat with pouty red lips hoping to make him come back and finish what he started, she was just getting i
