Separated At Birth

Chapter 14

A/N hey guys sorry for the late update, I have been doing research on how to write dialogue after I read about it on writer tips here on wattpad. Hope to improve it soon. 

Tiffany's pov:

I was with Kimberly and Ashley, when I heard the door open. It was Lauren, she came to inform me that my friends were waiting for me in the living room. I followed her downstairs with Kim and Ash behind me. I slipped on the gray and white Italian marble flooring when I saw Ivy entering with her brother- I don't remember telling her to come with him - but thankfully I didn't fall because I quickly held on to the frameless glass railings on the side of the stairs. I looked around to see if anyone saw me but luckily no one did except for Kim and Ash, the rest couldn't because the chandelier was blocking their view from where I was standing. When we finally reached the living area, everyone turned and started smiling. 

My mom looked at me still smiling, she puts her hands on both sides of her chick's "Oh my baby girl has grown. You have a boyfriend and you didn't care to tell me...."

"Boyfriend?" I asked her, still confused. 

She looked at me as if I said something wrong, "Yeah, your boyfriend. You don't have to pretend any more I won't be upset with you," my mom says looking at Kim as if pleading with her to say something. 

I sigh and put my palm on my forehead, "Mom Jordan is not my boyfriend, we just happened to be in the same movie together." As soon as I finished saying that, the room became quiet, I looked at their bemused faces and I started wondering if I said something wrong " Did I say something wrong?" I was baffled by their reaction. 

I saw Ethan grinning, then he started coming towards me and he stood next to me." Steffany-"

"It's Tiffany," I corrected him. He is the only one who fails to pronounce my name right. 

"-Oh yeah Stef-Tiffany, I wanted to tell you that you just mentioned the wrong guy, the name of the person you should be mentioning is for that dude over there," he says pointing at Liam who was busy with his phone" your mom overhead William saying that you're his girlfriend."

"Did someone mention my name?" Liam asked, obviously lost as to what was going on. 

"Yes Liam, I was just telling Steffan what you said about her when you were talking on the phone," Ethan says. 

"Oh yeah about that," Liam turned to face me "sorry I uh kinda used your name to make my ex-girlfriend jealous," he says while scratching the back of his head. 

My face turned red and the room suddenly felt hot, and I could feel a little moisture on my face and arms. 

I started laughing but my laughter came out a little forced and nervous" I-I was just joking with you mom, y-you could have seen your face,"I stutter. 

Everyone else in the room started laughing, and I felt a little relieved that they fail for it. Shortly after that embarrassing moment, we left mom in the living room and I showed Ivan, Ethan, Liam and Jordan were the pool is before following the others to my room to change into our swimming suites. We all came back to the backyard and when we had reached near the pool, the guys turned to look at us and I could feel Jordan's eyes on me but then something caught my eye, it was the way Ivan looked at Kim, he was scanning every inch of her body and when he saw me looking at him, he quickly looked down biting back a smile, l just smiled and we all joined the guys inside the pool. We first played volleyball and the guys won so we decided to play octopus tag and we chose Ethan to be 'it' and a few minutes into play he tagged Ash and then they joined hands, they ended up tagging everyone except Liam. I left them playing when I noticed Ivan sitting alone on one of the garden chairs. 

"May I?" I Asked him if I could sit on the empty seat. 

"Sure." 

"Hey, you okay?" I asked, looking at his face which looked lost in thought. 

He corked his head slightly to face me then he looked back at his phone, "Are you here to ask me about the way I was looking a-at- " he says scratching the back of his head. 

"Kim," I finished for him "no I-I didn't come to ask you that, you just looked kinda like down so I thought I should check up on you," 

He hesitated a bit before he decided to let me in on his thoughts. 

"It's about mom" he says it more like a whisper. 

"What about your mom?" I cautiously ask him. 

"I think" he squeezed his phone "I think she's hiding something from my dad and I-I want to find out what it is," his voice cracked a bit. 

"Is there anything I can do to help?" 

"Yes. Do you really want to help me?" he asked with a glint of light in his eyes. 

I just nodded and he filled me in on what we needed to do. After he was done explaining, I asked him if he would like to join the rest of us in the swimming pool and he accepted but he said that he would join us later. I found the rest of our friends playing greasy watermelon and I joined them. Afterwards Ivan joined us too and we spent the rest of the day playing different games.
