Breath of Darkness

Chapter 4

Alejandro

"Hello darling how was your day at school today." I heard Josephine's cheery voice sing from the kitchen.

"It was good Josephine but I have to tell you something." I yelled back to her a little scared.

"What have you done now Alejandro !" Josephine huffed coming over to me at the door.

"Well remember how I said I would not fall in love again well ....." I trailed off as Josephine stood there glaring at me.

"No Alejandro. You know what will happen especially after last time." She lectured.

"But Josephine I cant .." I began as she cut me off.

"I said no didn't I, wait till your father hears about this."  

"He's not my father." I boomed as anger consumed me.

"Why are you so against me being in love and plus you maybe be my foster parents and worship my real family but what happened back home in Aspal should not have affected my life so much that I have to live here in this world and not fall in love that's just sick !" I boomed.

"Well if you want to pick a fight why don't you talk to Lucifer then." She yelled with her eyes burning a hole through my heart.

"Fine I will !" I said storming out of the room.

"We are going round to our new neighbours across the road for dinner tonight they are the Henry Household so you better clean up nice and cut the attitude for later."

"Did you just say the Henry household" I yelled down the stairs to her.

"Yes why ?" she quizzed.

"Oh Nothing that name just sounds familiar. I must have heard it at school today that's all." I turned away into my room with a smirk on my face.

I went into my room and started to get ready. I showered and put on my suit. It was a posh yet casual dinner type suit. I had a white shirt on with the top buttons open showing my chest a bit. I wore a black jacket with black tight bottoms to match. I wore my shiny posh shoes that I had my butler to polish for me. I combed my hair back and put on my Caron's Poivre cologne that girls cant seem to resist just as I heard my mother shout up to me saying it was time to go.

*****************************************************************************

"Alejandro will you please button up the top buttons of your shirt we are trying to look impressive here." She moaned.

"Please do as she says son" I heard my dads voice chime in.

"I am not your son." I said in a low voice as we walked up the path to the Henry household.

I stood back as I saw Josephine and George went in to the household all happy and cheery as if nothing has happened. I snorted to myself as I put on a big smile to show that I am at least trying so I wont get a lecture later. I rolled my eyes at Josephine's comments as I looked round past her to get a glimpse of Aaliyah as she came down the stairs. From what I had saw briefly she looked amazing, stunning to be precise. I suddenly snapped back into reality as I heard my mother introduce me as she moved aside. I was mind blown when I saw Aaliyah for the first time tonight. She had a beautiful short blue dress on yet it didn't make her look like a slut at all. Her make-up and hair was perfect. I could smell her Chanel perfume from a mile away. Her face had dropped as she saw me yet I still smiled hoping it was just the shock of seeing me.

"Hello princesa." I said in a low tone grinning over at her.

"Alejandro stop drooling over her. You have only just met." Josephine said slapping my arm on a playful way. 

"Actually mother we did in school earlier today when she accidentally bumped into me at the vending machine isn't that right Aaliyah."  I said trying to hold back the disgust at the fact that I had to call Josephine "mother" I front of company as I shot Aaliyah a warning look over Josephine's shoulder.  

"Yes that's right I wasn't watching where I was going and walked right into him clumsy me." She laughed as she glared at me probably because I made it out to be her fault even though it was.

"Right anyway the dining room is over this way if you would like to come through and i'll get Jeeves to bring our starters out." Aaliyah's mother said since I can't remember her name not that I would need to really.

We all walked into the dining room with the fathers sitting at each end of the table. I sat right next to Aaliyah which I'm sure she wasn't happy about.

"Glad to see me again mi amor Aaliyah." I chuckled as she snorted at my comment.

"Of course I am and did you just so happen to make my mother and yours meet so you could come all this way to see little Aaliyah who couldn't last as whole night away from." She said in a sarcastic way which I have warned her about.

"How charming of you to see right through my plan." I said as we both forced a grin. Mines was genuine a happy grin towards her but I can tell her's was just in disgusted.
