Samantha and the seven brothers

Part 9. Attraction?

Samantha and Alberta returned to the mansion in the afternoon. Samantha had fallen in love with the university, even though she had only visited half of it. She couldn't wait to tell Sergio.

When one talks about the wolf, one sees its tail! Samantha thought as she saw Sergio approaching them.

-Hello Nonna, hello Samantha! He greeted them, smiling quickly.

-Hello Sergio! The two women replied in unison.

-Hey Sergio, you know what? We are at the same university now! She hastened to announce.

-Yes, I know, Nonna had already told me. Sergio replied with his hands in his pockets.

-Good! I'll leave you, kids, I'm going to shower. Alberta said as she walked up the stairs, leaving them alone.

Once the old lady left, Sergio took Samantha to the garden.

-Tell me, is it true that you raised your voice at Maximiliano? he questioned without further delay.

-Who told you that? She asked in turn.

-My mother.

-Ah, this witch! Samantha exclaimed, rolling her eyes before looking at Sergio. Sorry Sergio, it's your mother, I shouldn't say that, I...

-Don't worry Samantha! He reassured her. I understand, my mother is sometimes very mean; that's why Grandma and she don't get along. He finished, laughing and making the young woman laugh at the same time.

Samantha was happy to see that Sergio was one of the people who liked him in this mansion. She knew that if there was a problem, she could count on him.

-Thank you, Sergio. She said, giving a smile at him.

-You're lucky I managed to convince my mother not to tell my father, otherwise...

-Wait! Did you manage to convince her? Samantha asked, surprised.

-Of course, yes! Sergio replied. If Maximiliano is my father's favorite son, then imagine that my mother's favorite son is me... Uh, me after the twins.

-Samantha! Samantha! Said a childish voice behind them.

-Look! Speaking of twins, here's one who is coming. Sergio said to Samantha before turning to his little brother.

-Oh, hello little one! Is it Alexandro? Samantha asked, ruffling the little boy's hair.

-No, it's Alfredo! Replied the little one. Have you seen Sergio? She failed to recognize me. Said Alfredo laughing and dragging his brother into his frenzy of laughter.

-It's not my fault if you and Alexandro look exactly alike. Samantha justified herself by raising her hands to the sky.

-Very good, very good! So, what brings you here little one? Sergio asked his brother.

-Um, Alexandro and I wanted to play hide and seek, he started. But we found that it would be boring to play it with just two people. So, I came to invite Samantha to join us. He finished, giving Samantha a big smile.

-Sorry Alfredo...

-Please! Please! Please! Alfredo begged, making puppy eyes.

He's so cute! Samantha thought, not having the courage to refuse anything to this bit of a man.

-It's okay! She finally said.

-Yes! Alfredo exclaimed with his fists in the air, his eyebrows furrowed.
