Broken Songbird

Chapter 25 Paradise At A Beach

The following morning, I wake up to the smell of coffee roasting the pot. Kiyoteru was sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee. Luke and Meito were watching a German kids show on the tablet. Meito was explaining to Luke some words he may not know in Japanese.

"Morning Kiyoteru how did you sleep?"

"It was good you took me by surprise last night. If I saw you at the coffee shop every day, I wouldn't have thought that the woman wasn't you." Kiyoteru says.

"Yeah I know too. Morning Lucania."

"Morning Meiko." Lucania says.

"Want to start making breakfast?" I asked.

We both got the food out and started cooking. We fried some bacon and hash browns. Käis walks in and helps us out. Finally, Gäpöuk, Mike, and Aitök walk in and are waiting at the table talking.

"Mike how do you like your eggs?" Lucania asks.

"Scrambled." Mike says.

Papa, after we eat can Meito and I go to the beach?" Luke asked.

"Sure your mama is going with Meiko-san to watch over you two." Gäpöuk says.

"Mike wake up your daughter."

"Aitök wake up your son." Käis says.

Once Möiük and Sakine got down we started to get our food.

"Sakine are you coming to the beach with Luke and I?" Meito asked.

"Sure Meito it's your call. Coming Möiük?" Sakine says eating her strip of bacon.

"I'll come with you." Möiük says.

The sound of metal clinging and scent of freshly made pancakes made me feel as if I overate. Luke and Meito finished early so they left the table to play in their shared room. Once Lucania and I finished we both went took turns changing into our bathing suits. I was wearing a red bikini with a red bra.

"Meiko ready?" Lucania asked.

"Hai!" I replied.

I walked down to the beach and the boys followed us. We started to set up and the camera crew were recording both of us. The salty breeze was intoxicating but not as much as my alcohol problem. Lucania was wearing a black bikini lined with yellow and a matching bra.

"Lucania are you enjoying yourself?"

"Yeah Meiko, wouldn't surprise me if some college boys thought you and Mike were siblings." Lucania.

"Hey mate look at the pretty girl over there." a college boy says.

"Which one the American model or the Russian model." the other one said.

"The American model." he says.

"Better be careful they might be mob wives." he says.

"You look so beautiful." the college boy says.

"Thanks." I replied.

"Meiko are these boys bothering you?" Mike asked in an almost mafia tone.

"No."

"Is he your brother?" the other one asked.

"He's my husband."

"I'm sorry sir? Jamie how do you say sorry in Italian. We better get going." the college boy says.

After the boys left Lucania and I were laughing. I thanked Mike and promised to buy him a large steak at a restaurant here. We were both joking and many young men have been looking at us. They fail to notice the camera crew. We joked about Mike looking like a mobster who turned his life around.

"Lucania that man over there is looking at you. He might like your frame."

"Really I should try to impress him." Lucania says.

"Go for it, watch him be shorter than you." I joked.

The man walked up and he was my height. It's what Lucania gets for having her dad's height and being Russian. Luckily her husband is Russian too because, Luke is a little taller than Meito. Meito will most likely grow into his body. Lucania asked Luke if he is enjoying himself since the two were often chasing each other. Käis was next to us and many young high school boys were attracted to her. Her voice was young and high pitched, she sounded like she was 12.

The cool gently breeze blew against my face and the tide was getting higher. Aitök and Gäpöuk were grilling some burgers. Some time passed by and Mike asked me if we're joining them at the barbecue. I said yes and we all gathered around the backyard. Luke and Mike were eating next to each other. I grabbed a burger, chips, onion dip, pasta, and fruit on my overstuffed paper plate.

"Käis I can't believe that they thought Mike was a mobster." I say laughing.

"I know remember how one man was flirting with Lucania and she decided to repay the favor and flirt back. When he came up he was all steroids and shorter than Lucania." Käis says.

"And I'm a Russian model." Lucania says jokingly.

"You do look like Valentina Smirnov." Gäpöuk adds.

"Which American model do I even look like?" I asked to be sure.

"Mike you may know this one." Lucania says.

"When I first met her she looked like Chiara Rossi. But after we got married, she changed a lot and she reminds me of Giulia Capecchi with her tan. These girls are both Italians except Chiara Rossi who's half Irish." Mike says.

As we all continued to joke about which foreign model we looked like. We debated which Japanese model Mike looked like. It was all fun and relaxed. This day felt like paradise and the long week we are spending here felt like it would never end. We had plans on going to an American restaurant here to eat some seafood.

We then continued to spend some time at the beach. Mike decide to play with Luke and Meito. Sometimes it feels like that Luke sees Mike as his uncle. Lucania asked me if I wanted to go explore the shops surrounding the outer banks. Lucania, Käis, and I were talking to each other with the umbrella covering us. In front of us Möiük and Sakine were swimming in the water splashing each other. Every time they fought they seemed to fight as if they were married.

"I guess Luke likes spending time with his uncle." Gäpöuk says.

"Really because Meito and Luke act close almost like first cousins. I see your point." I tell Gäpöuk.

"I guess that means that Meito sees me as his aunt." Lucania tells me.

"Meiko I can't really believe that you're going to be my sister-in-law." Aitök says.

"Look this was bound to happen." I tell him.

"I'm a former teen star but, at least I'm not in a mental hospital like the American stars. Even Rillianna and Allen got to experience their childhood." Käis says.

"To be fair Meiko was an alcoholic and she was a teen star." Lucania says.

"Rillianna and Allen had each other for support. If Rillianna was more popular, Allen would keep the fame from getting to her head." I say.

As we continued to talk about our popularity, Sakine and Möiük asked why they never knew about it. The only reason Möiük never knew was because his parents graduated and I just left without anyone knowing. My fans thought I was still out there and I'm just a secret NND dubber.
