Chubby Cheeks 16

Washing every bit of evidence from my birthday, I sat crossed legged under a large tree thinking about everything that has happened to me in the last few days. I needed to think about it and somehow everything made me feel happy. I was finally complete, with so much laughter and fun. I don't regret giving myself away and I am sure Alex doesn't too. Somehow that makes me feel happy; in fact so much happier. A small smile tugged my lips and somehow in my senses, I could feel Fabian near me.

"How is everything with Celine, I saw the gleam of emerald in her eyes," I asked him with my eyes closed. He is my brother; I could sense him from miles away from me.

"I wanted to keep it as a surprise for you but you and Alex gave me much bigger surprise; I thought I will surprise you all and believe me, everyone was dazed but I am amazed by you sweetie."

"I know..."

"Well darling, I wanted to ask you about..."

"Oh, I have never been this sure about my life brother. I love him and I sure do pray that he won't deceive me like father..."

"Honey, if I am your brother, he won't have the spine to hurt a hair on your neck and if ever he did, he would be shaved off from this world and this is my word."

"Well, that is a mighty treat for a brother-in-law." 

"Oh, you haven't heard even the half of it, my sugar."

"Hi, Miss. Celine" 

"Oh keep it down honey; it's just Celine or Cally if you wish."

"Oh, Cally it is then. How is my brother treating you?"

"I have been blessed; I couldn't believe I was waiting for my whole life for a perfect man and that he would walk into my life like a breeze on a very hot day; oh, speaking of that... did you hear anything about the fire?"

"No... I haven't heard anything about it since that wretched day."

"Well, a boy named Den Loren was in charge with Ash knur for the fire as there were two other boys apart from the two who were caught earlier, well as of now the name and the standards are all that they have been dispatched. Heaven knows why they did such a crime."

"Oh my... what will happen to them?"

"They will be released just as they were caught, I heard this Den Loren is the son of powerful man and thus, there won't be a problem for them to bail out."

"This is a cruel world."

"It is a princess," Fabio replied and I looked at him deep in thoughts. I fear what will happen if the world continues to be this reckless and the powerful nailing dominance over minorities. I wanted to cry out but what good will it gives us other than a migraine.

Too much engrossed in the news, I didn't realize that Alex and pretty much everyone else was back with us. His voice was what brought be to the sense.

"Den Loren is actually Loren Tobias Pandow and he is the leader of Blue Birds as well as the heir to the Pandow acreage. A mighty manipulator and a deceiver he is. It is because of him, I had to go to juvenile once."

"What?"

"Yes, you remember the day when I asked him about a scar right? Well, that day he was...umm, was trying to umm, take advantage of Natalie on the back of Collins, the pub just opposite the theater down the road. I happened to hear her shrieks and I ran down to the back to see he and another guy trying to... well, it was pretty bad sight to see her so helpless and so, I went in and beat the living sense out of him; his friend was a loyal one because he took out his penknife and tried to stab me which I dodged and pulled the knife from him and slashed pretty hard on to the side of Loren's chest. Since then, he always fears me and so I have such an advantage against him. I would have killed him for trifling with Nat if it was not for the sweet Mrs. Grainger who stopped the fight."
