Surprisingly Royal

👸Chapter27 : Mischievous Letter

After some time we quit the game and the boys go upstairs to do their own thing without helping us clean up.

Bec and Matilda decide to take care of cleaning the kitchen

And Em and I settle on cleaning the living room.

"I think it's getting too late " I say to Emily

"Oh come on it's just 6:45 pm"she says childishly

"Well you can decide to stay if you want tho, I need to go home to check on mum." I say clearing the empty bottles on the center table.

"I don't remember your mum telling you she needed assistance in anything" she says with an annoyed expression plastered on her face

" I know but then it's late and we need to go . I don't think you are ready to hear endless lectures about your curfew from your parents right?" I ask raising an eyebrow

She gets nervous for a split second and she immediately recovers after she sees the smug on my face.

"Ok fine. We can go but then I know you just don't feel comfortable staying any longer because you don't want to encounter any cheesy moment with your new crush." She says smirking

"And who is that new crush I don't even know of "

"Oh let me guess , Fynn I suppose" I say making her cheeks warm up.

"Just shut up! I'm talking about Carlos." She says throwing a cushion at me

" You've got it all wrong Em. I don't see him as anything close to that and I will never see him as anything close to that too. I'm just tired and I want to go home." I say taking the empty bottles into the kitchen.

"Fine.. if you say so" I hear her shout

I ignore her and enter into the kitchen

I notice the girls are almost done with their work and I dump the bottles into the bin.

I inform them that Em and I will be leaving very soon

They try to convince me to stay a little longer but then I still stick to my decision.

They finally agree to it and I make my way into the living room.

Em and I pack our stuff and I decide to use the washroom for real this time.

As I pass by Carlos' room ,I hear loud music and the boys shouting and talking on top of their voice.

I wonder what they are doing in there.
I really want to go and have a look but then me doing that the last time didn't help me so I just go straight into the washroom and later join the girls downstairs.

We say goodbye to them and Emily and I leave to our various destinations.

" Their house is very beautiful don't you think?" She looks back trying to get a view of the house once again

"Yeah, it sure is." I say smiling warming at her.

We get to my house first and she literally pushes me inside not taking my request to escort her home into consideration.

I chuckle a little and give her a tight hug before she leaves for her house.

I lock the door and go straight into the Kitchen to find something to eat and look for mum since she wasn't sitting at the living room.

I see her sitting at the dinning table with a paper in hand.
Her mind felt far away from this place.

" Mum" I try calling her but then she doesn't even look up at me

I call her once again and this time she hears. she literally jumps out of her chair.

"How long have you been here?" She says hiding the paper and walking towards me.

I wonder what the paper entails

"Not long ago" I reply shortly

" Hungry?" She asks

"I'm starving mum" I tell her dramatically holding my stomach

She serves me and joins me at the dinning table. She asks me about my day and I begin to tell her all that happened today leaving a few details I need to keep to myself just to prevent any trouble.

I notice her spacing out a few times and I decide to ask her about the paper

"Mum" I call her

"Yeah"

" What did the paper say " I ask her and she immediately becomes nervous.

" Nothing you need to worry about Ciara" she says holding my hand and trying to put a smile on her face.

" Well I've noticed how your mood has changed ever since you read this letter and you keep on spacing out almost everytime since I came so this got to be something serious" I tell her with a serious look on my face.

" It's just a letter I received from my Cousin, nothing important" she says brushing off imaginery dirt on her dress

" And what did it say?" I ask completely ignoring her please don't ask any more questions look

She gives a long sigh

" It says she has to move to another continent for her new job." Mum says

I feel this is not the truth but then I just remove that thought from my head.

"But don't you think it's good news mum? At least she gets to upgrade herself and live her dreams." I say to her

"Well yeah ......but then she will be really far from this place."

"Which means no visit from the only relative we still have in touch with" she adds

Well that was a surprise to hear her say this

I never knew her visits really meant that much to her.

From what I remember she will mostly stop her from coming here because of a reason unknown to anyone.

Now I'm really sure she is telling lies to me

I begin to think about what the paper really entails of that could have caused her to lie to me.

" Do you get me now? " She asks bringing me out of my thoughts.

I nod and play along by telling her we will be just fine

She leaves the kitchen to her room and I finish eating.

I wash my plate and head straight into the bathroom to have a quick bath.

When I'm done , I go and check whether the door is properly locked and head towards my room.

I lay on my bed thinking about all that happened today

I shortly fall asleep with an image of the the way Carlos smirked at me during the game we played in mind.
