OUR BOND

(4)

Noel's POV

A full week had gone by since I was shipped here and I would say I was getting used to it.

For example Damien no longer picked me up from my room because I had mastered my way around the house.

I went down for breakfast and was suprised to find two unknown faces at the table.

I'm guessing that was my second oldest cousin and my uncle because they looked alike, the genes in this house were strong.

Everyone stopped talking when they saw me and then Uncle suprised me more by standing up and picking me up from the ground.

I wasn't short but right now I felt like I was.

"I haven't seen you since you were a baby, you've really grown" he said still hugging me.

This was really awkward my feet were dangling in the air like... I don't even know like what.

Let's not talk about my hands child, not really knowing what to do with them I slowly wrapped them around Uncle's neck.

He seemed happy that I hugged him back because now he was squeezing the daylights out of me and it was really hard to breath.

"Uncle can't breath" I said, struggling a bit to get the words out.

He finally put me down but looked at me lovingly and with a little bit of sadness? I must have seen that wrong.

"You really look like your mom, you weren't lying" he said smiling then turned to Aunt at the last part.

"You just have that fool's eyes" he said turning back to me, I half laughed.

I'm gonna love my uncle.

"Oh this is your second eldest cousin Stefan" he said pointing at Stefan at the table.

"Hi I'm Noel" I said to which he smiled.

He had the cutest smile, I was totally not jealous.

"Alright, alright enough with the introductions the food is getting cold" Aunt said then me and Uncle went to the breakfast table.

"How about we go out together?" Aunt suggested excitedly.

"I have work"

"We have school"

"I just don't want to"

Different answers rang out on the table. I saw Aunt's face go from super excited to dissatisfied in seconds.

It's brutal out here.

"Well I don't care about your answers we are going out anyways" she said and I heard sighes around the table.

So Aunt asking was just her being nice, she actually had the power to make them go out without asking.

That's a Queen.

"Where do you suggest we go Honey?" Uncle asked and then I saw the excitement creep back into Aunt's face.

"Well since we were planning to take Angela to the carnival, we can just go there" she said excitedly.

I was not really keen going to the carnival, judging from the looks of everyone in the table apart from Angela they weren't either.

But we'll go because we had a common goal ; to make Aunt happy.

...........

We were downstairs waiting for everyone to gather so we can leave.

Uncle, Luca, Aunt and I were all ready, we were just waiting for the others.
