Breezy April

Chapter 9

At Heathwoods mansion

After a loooong day at mall they were back home. They were alone at home since Nicholas and Philip left for the party of Mr. Theodore and Ron and Nate was still in the office.

Plopping down on the couch they stretched their body to get rid of the fatigue, While Angela went to kitchen.

" It was a hell of a day....uhh... I'm never going with you girls anymore"

Aiden exclaimed laying on the couch like a star fish.

" Oh...don't be so dramatic Denny we haven't been there that long"

" Oh really..... Entire day we were following you like a puppy and let alone carrying all these ridiculously big bags... What do you buy this much anyway....."

" Girls are soooo complicated.... ugh ... It's time like this I feel lucky to be a boy ..simple life no complications"

" You gotta say something against girls, boys??"

Angela asked from the doorway raising a brow at them.

" Nop....not at all...."

" Good..."

" What are you thinking baby?? Is something wrong??"

Aiden asked waking Sophia from whatever she was thinking. A small smile adorned her face

" Nothing ... Was just thinking about Jaiden and Alen. "

" Alen is so cute ..such a bubly kid so is Jaiden. And they love eachother so much too...."

" But did you guys notice how he panicked at the time he left.... literally carrying Alen like they were in some kind of danger ..."

"Ugh....don't you guys have anything else to do??? Seriously..... They are both kids and their parents must have told them to come back at a particular time .... "

" Shut up statue..."

Jennifer cut him off resulting everyone to laugh out loud...

" What's there to laugh this hard?? ..hmm??? Mind to share with us too!??"

Sudden voice from the front door had them look back, only to find Ronald standing there in his three piece grey suit looking fresh while his temporary assistant was at the verge of passing out...

Angela went to him taking his blazer while exchanging a lovely kiss . Nate gagged at this and dragged his exhausted self to the couch. He threw himself on Aiden and Chris who successfully pushed him to the ground.

" Uh....you guys are so mean ... Aahh..here I'm gonna die at any moment and look how they are being so lovey dovey infront of my eyes... Please...not after making me work like a donkey.... Phil!!!!?"

" That was your punishment Nate.... And I gave you a consideration by going gentle on you and here you are whining like I made you do all the works .."

" Excuse me !!! Gentle??!!! I don't even wanna know how much you make Thomas work at this rate...... I'm never going to be your assistant again.... Poor Thomas .... Anyway what were you laughing at?"

At this point everyone were settled on the couch. Angela filled them with their mall adventure. Not missing out the main part .

" Well have you met him before Chris? Aiden mentioned there"

" Oh...yeah.... Chris went for a morning walk . suddenly  feeling an urge to read he went to the nearby bookshop and Jaiden was there. Must say he has a great taste in books."

Aiden exclaimed which earned him a smack on his head by the aforementioned.

" Oh really..??? I didn't knew you had a thing for books Chris.... We have a personal library here but not once I have seen you step in to it ... infact you avoid that room like plague."

Ronald remarked with genuine curiosity .

" I. Don't. Like. Books... I had to go to the bookstore that kid works in for a uh...uh.. safety purpose and there I accidentally grabbed a children's book of God knows which title and brought  it home ....yeah ..
So it was an accident and I have nothing to do with books."

" Whatever..... But Ron he was so cute you know and these brats should learn how to respect elders from him.."

" God.... I'm gone...."

With that Chris left for his room and others remained there chatting.

Christopher was so exhausted that he directly went to take a shower. Freshly showered he got to the comfort of his bed. Several thoughts flooded to his mind. He won't admit it but today was so much fun. Unlike any young men of his age Christopher loathes partying. He would prefer the comfort of his home over blasting music of a club. This crack heads would be his pick over a group of 'friends' of his age group.

He may appear a typical rich playboy but  is anything but that. If anything, he despises  playing with someone's feelings by using them for our merits. In his field of work too he strictly maintain this policy unless the opponent deserve it. Not only him this goes to all the Heathwoods gang members. His family means a lot to him, touch them and you will be gone. They are strong, powerful and authoritative but inside this nest they are a bunch of simple family men and women.

None of them are blood related. Each have their own story to tell. But there is something in this world that is more pure and precious than the bond by blood. It's a feeling of  belonging or togetherness or something much much more and is indefinable. Anyway that's the story for another time.

Lying on the king-size bed he recollected all the happenings of the day how they played cards at early in the morning, chaotic house cleaning and ofcourse the 'punishment' . A smile adorned his handsome face and his amber orbs twinkled with happiness which he would never trade for anything in the world. In the train of thoughts his mind stationed at a perticular chubby face. Jaiden was cute he won't deny it well mannered ofcourse, he was not paying attention to their blabbering for he was alert all the time. They had to be careful while exposed to the outer world especially in a crowded place like a mall.  What he noticed and respected about Jaiden more was how he cared for Alen. Come on.... he may appear cold but definitely knew how to appreciate something that worth it. Jaiden stucked in his thoughts for a mere moment but it gradually thinned in to the several ones which passed his mind before the soothing hands of calmness lulled him to sleep.

So that's what I got today. Let's spare a moment of silence to pray for those two preys of boredom who might be dossing of at the " annual gathering of old melodies and food".

Heathwoods are happy. But what might be the scene in the orphanage now. May my babies reach there safe and sound.
