What's up guys, what's your favorite color?...mine is black🖤

Elly's POV

"Watch it next time." Dashiell said and walked away.

Okay maybe that's not what I expected but let's be realistic we are talking about Dashiell here. This guy looks like he is allergic to emotions. I appreciate the fact that he saved me but not his personality, never!

I went in and exchanged greetings with the watch man. He seemed to relax after seeing me but whatever that means I am not gonna ask. I started thinking about how mesmerized Silas was about my home. I can't believe that am checking out the place that I have been living in for years again because of what Silas said oh god! I know I am rich but today makes me feel more rich after checking the entire compound again. The house, the stairs, my car and everything. I really am rich!

Immediately I stepped feet in the house I felt arms wrapped around me with a heavy sigh from a familiar scent.

"Where have you been buddy, we were worried about you?" My dad said tears falling to his sleeveless shirt. Why is everyone wearing sleeveless today?

"I went out for some fresh air." I answered hugging him back. I didn't know why he was crying but I wanted to assure him I was fine.

"Don't ever do that again! why haven't you been picking my calls?" He asked with a stern look. I checked my phone only to realize it was off.

"I didn't charge it before leaving sorry." I said feeling stupid than ever.

"Otto is here." He said pulling away with a goofy smile. I hated my cousin! "He will be joining your school from tomorrow, come say hi." He said still smiling. He knew I hated my cousin good Jesus.

"Why big guy, you'd have shoo him away." I said with a pout.

"I wanted to but I couldn't, it's gonna be okay come on" he tapped my shoulder leaving without me. I sighed and walked to the living room.

There he was, my asian cousin. His mother was asian and he was blessed with her features. Tiny eyes (nothing racial), beautiful face, flawless skin and tiny figure and as glowing as ever. He was attractive and he knew that cause all asians are I guess. Huff!

"Hi cousin." Otto said enveloping me into a hug. I know, I am dramatic, I know! Otto is the sweetest person to exist and that's why I don't like him. Nobody can resist him not even me and that's how I ended up gifting him my Bugatti on his sixteenth birthday it only took a pout. He has this charm that can make you kill for him and it's actually tiring for me.

"Hi Otto, how are you?" I offered pulling away.

"Good." He said giggling, scooping his ice cream and licking his index finger. Still a baby!

"Why aren't you using a spoon for that?" I asked nodding towards the ice cream bowl. He was using his finger instead of a spoon. Wow!

"I couldn't find one" he answered with a lost puppy look and sinking in his sit. He blinked severally before walking to the kitchen and I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

I walked to my room and took a quick shower. I had to get enough sleep today if I wanted a smooth Monday tomorrow. Oh Mondays sucks! I was now on my bed busying myself to sleep when someone knocked.

"Come in." I said.

"Can you come talk to your mother Ellington, it's important."

😉😉😉😉

The next morning, dad drove us to school. I wasn't feeling okay with what happened last night so I couldn't drive. Ann was at the passenger's seat, I was in the back seat with my head on Otto's laps (his way of comforting, nothing to do with me). Dad had insisted that I stay at home but I couldn't, nothing was okay even if I wanted it to be. When we got to school, he hugged and kissed me on the forehead. He asked Otto to call if anything wrong happens before he drove back.
