Chapter 4

POV: Marissa

“So you’ve lived in six different countries?” I asked with wide eyes.

                “Yes, the US, of course, there were two different states here.  Then there’s France, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, and Romania,” Chase smiled at me.

                “So, where were you born?” Jenna asked.

                “Both my brother and I were born in Romania, but little Destiny here was born on our first move to France,” Chase smiled at her little sister.

                “I’ve always wanted to go to France,” I bounced excitedly on the couch, “Do you know French?”

                “I don’t because I was too young but-”

                “Bonjour les filles.” Drake walked into the room.

                “My big-headed brother can speak it fluently,” Chase laughed at my face.

                “And other languages?” I asked.

                “Spanish, Italian, and Romanian,” He smiled widely at all of us.

                “Say something in every language,” I told him.  I wanted to know how much he knew.

                “What do you want me to say prețios?” He asked.

                Chase started laughing but I could not understand the language. “Just something simple, like ‘hello.’”

                “Hola, Ciao, Bonjour, Alo,” Drake smiled again.  He had a nice smile, but his canines, they looked longer than usual.

                “All I know is the Romanian and part of Spanish,” Chase had a sort of crooked smile.  That’s one of the two things that they had in common.  They also had the same dark brown eyes.  Chase however had light brown, waist-length hair while Drake had dark brown, almost black, short hair.

                “So what is your dominant language?” I asked.

                “It’s Romanian but I like using French the most.  The language of love you know,” Drake winked at me and I blushed.

“Sorry, about that.  My brother is an unashamed flirt,” Chase laughed as Drake put on a feigned expression of hurt.

“Well sissy, why would you say such a thing?” Drake put a hand over his heart as if it would keep his dignity intact.  “I have been nothing but only kind to the woman of the fan clubs.”  He smirked suddenly.
