Lost Love

Chapter 15

As I reached our room which is on second floor, I fall on the bed. "I am so tired" I mumbled.

"I am not feeling tired". Isabelle said sitting beside me.

"Me too". Sophie said.

"How can you be tired when you spend your time with your lovers". I said this to them while getting up.

"Yes. That was so amazing. Me and Ryan talk so much about each other". Isabelle said while grinning.

"Yeah. Same goes with me and Michael. I never thought he can be so talkative". Sophie said.

"I am happy that you guys enjoyed your time with them". I told them.

"I think I should tell Ryan that I like him. But before that I want to check something". Isabelle said with a serious expression.

"What do you want to check" ? Sophie asked.

"I just want to know how he will react when I talk about dating the other guys". Isabelle said.

"I should do it too. It will give me some confidence to take a step". Sophie said agreeing with her.

Oh girls. They are already head over heels for you. But I can't say this to them. They should know from each other. Then we unpacked our bags, got showered and went down for dinner.

Everyone was sitting on the dining table for dinner. They didn't started yet. I think they are waiting for us. Aunt Maria and Uncle Roberto are serving them. I ran towards them.

"Aunt Maria, Uncle Roberto. I missed you guys". I said as I hugged them both.

"We missed you too child". Thay said hugging me back.

"Who are they "? Sophie asked while sitting on the chair.

"They are the caretakers of this house". I said as I said beside her.

"Where is Marco"? I asked while starting my dinner.

"He went out. He will be back soon".  Uncle Roberto said smiling at me.

When I came to Italy two years ago, I lived here with them. They treat me like their own daughter. Marco is their 21 years old son. To him I am his elder sister. We enjoyed a lot together. I talk to them once in a while on phone.

"Everyone got settled in their rooms"? Mom asked to which we replied with yes.

Soon we finished our dinner and sat in the living room enjoying some ice cream.

"Mom, dad why did you called me here"? I heard Marco's voice.

"We have a surprise for you".  Aunt Maria said. Before he could ask another question I got up from the sofa and turned around to face him.

"Marco". I yelled in excitement.

"Emily". His eyes went wide with surprise. He ran towards me. As I hugged him he lifted me from the ground and started twirling me around.

"I missed you so much".  He said with a grin.

"Will you put me down". I said to him with my eyebrows raised.

"Ofcourse".  He said smiling sheepishly.

When we turned around, I saw different face expressions. Isabelle and Sophie are watching me with smirk. I think they are taking me and Marco in a wrong way. Mom, dad and Michael are looking at me with raised eyebrows. I told them about my time with Marco and his family but didn't mention how we treat each other. Ryan, Uncle Adam and Aunt Olivia are just giving amused expressions while Caleb's face is blank.

"Hello everyone. I am Marco. Sorry for this whole scenario but I got excited seeing Emily after so long time". He said in a serious tone.

"You and Emily seems pretty close". Sophie said.

"Yes. We are...
Marco cut me off saying "in a relationship".

"What"? We all said at the same time.

"Emily. You hid this from us". Isabelle said in a shocking tone.

Everyone was looking at me and Marco with serious expressions. Even Caleb is also glaring at us. Ofcourse he will glare at me. I told him that I am single and now he will think that I lied to him. All this reaction just because Marco has the habit of joking.

"What. Babe you didn't tell them about us". Marco asked with a series expression.

"Is it true princess? You are dating him"? Dad asked this time.

I smacked Marco's head and twisted his ear with my hand asking
"I am your what Marco"?

"Emily it hurts. Leave my ear". He said.

"First the truth".  I told him.

"Ok fine. We are not in a relationship. You are like my elder sister". He said and I left his ear.

"He has a habit of joking dad. He treats me like an elder sister, that's why we are close". I said.

"Oh. But that was a nice joke". Ryan said with a laugh.

"Anyways, You guys rest tonight. And start your trip tomorrow".  Aunt olivia said as she got up followed by Uncle Adam.

"Yeah. We should call it a night". Mom said she also got up and went towards her room and dad followed her.

"We will also leave. Meet you at the breakfast. Goodnight". Uncle Roberto and  aunty Maria also left.

"I am going to sleep now". Michael said and Ryan did the same. Sophie and Isabelle also left and now it's just me, Caleb and Marco.

"You are not going to sleep". I asked Marco.

"I want to spend some time with you because I am going to france tomorrow for my art project". He said.

"I should give you guys some privacy then". Caleb said coldly and stormed out of the living room.

"Is something going on between you two". Marco asked as soon Caleb left.

"No. Why are you asking this"?. I asked sitting on sofa and motioning Marco to sit beside me.

"He reacted as if he didn't liked the idea of us spending time together". He said.

"I don't know what you are talking about. Forget it and tell about your life". I said.

We sat there for almost three hours talking about each other's life.

"I think we should go to bed now. It's 12:30am now. I have a flight to catch in the morning". He said while getting up.

"And I need my beauty sleep". I told him.

"Hope to see you soon big sis". He said as he hugged me.

I just nodded with a smile.

I was going to my room when I heard a sound from the other room. I don't know who took that room so I knocked. Caleb opened the door with a pissed expression on his face. As he saw me his expression changed.

"I heard some shattering sound. Is everything okay"? I asked with concern.

"Yes. I broke a glass mistakenly. Don't worry everything is fine". He said.

"Why are you awake, its quite late. You know". I said.

"I was not able to sleep. Has your friend left?" He asked.

"Yes. Marco left. He said he has a flight to catch". I said.

"You guys are just friends"? He asked.

"No. He is more like a annoying little brother". I said.

Relief flashed across his face.

"Goodnight Caleb". I said and went towards my room.

"Goodnight". He replied back.

Sophie and Isabelle are already asleep on the bed. So I slept on the couch.
