La Bella Regina [The Princess Diaries Fanfic]

Ch. 21 Go inside and make yourself at home

After leaving Hong Kong Clay Pot restaurant, Oliver and his men took Michael to his place. Once they arrived, Mia stepped out of the can and walked Michael to his home, and the two teens softly spoke to one another. Meanwhile, Aurora is asleep in the vehicle since her jet lag came to her, causing the young teen to fall into a deep sleep. 

" Um. Thanks for celebrating mine and my sister's sixteenth birthday," Mia softly smiled at Michael. 

" Despite the day being so unusual, I had fun," Michael honestly tells Mia. 

Mia amusingly giggled, but she stopped and sadly sighed when she recalled that Lilly is Michael's younger sister. 

" Tomorrow is going to be a long awkward day for me," Mia mumbled. 

" Why do you say that?" Michael asked, looking and sounding concerned. 

" I share most of my classes with your sister, Lilly," Mia reminds Michael. " And it is going to be so awkward facing Lilly in school tomorrow since earlier today. I told her off because of her rude behavior towards my sister," The young teen softly whined. 

" If my sister encounters you at school, ignore her. She needs to learn her lesson that her rude behavior can damage her relationship with those around her," Michael firmly tells Mia. 

Mia nods her head in response, and she then hugs Michael, causing the young teen to get shy. Unbeknown to them, Oliver was spying on them from inside the car. 

" Why is Mia hugging that boy?" Oliver softly asked Santiago. 

" Perhaps he is one of Mia's suitors," Santiago merely responded. 

Oliver twitched at the idea of a boy courting his youngest niece. 

" I might as well send some bodyguards with Mia when she goes to school tomorrow," Oliver mumbled since he remembered that today is a Tuesday and Mia has school the next day. 

Santiago amusingly stared at Oliver. 

Oliver playfully glared at Santiago. 

" Phillipe would have wanted me to shoo off suitors that try to pursue our beautiful princesses' hearts," Oliver sternly tells Santiago. 

" Act natural, sir. Mia is coming," Santiago sneakily points at Mia, who is walking towards the car. 

Oliver fixed his tie with his free hand since Aurora is using his other arm as a pillow. 

" I'm back. Thanks for allowing me to drop Michael off," Mia kindly smiled at Oliver as she steps inside the car with Santiago entering behind her, and he closed the door, causing the vehicle to drive away. 

" He's your friend. A friend of my nieces is a friend of mine," Oliver fondly smiled at Mia. 

Mia blushes, feeling happy to hear Oliver call her 'his niece.' 

Two hours and a half later, on a freeway to Oliver's new place, Mia lightly bites her lips as she turns her gaze to Oliver. 

" Be honest with me, Uncle Ollie," Mia whispers as she glanced at Aurora, who is softly snoring, which lets her know that her older twin sister is in a deep sleep. 

" Yes?" Oliver looked at Mia with a concerned expression. 

" Are you going to drop Aurora and me at my Mom's place since she is, you know, the one suppose to be looking after us?" Mia softly asked Oliver. 

Oliver frowns when he sees Mia looking at him with a cautious expression. 

" No. You two will be staying with me for the night," Oliver reassured Mia, causing the young teen to sigh in relief.
