Love Never Dies...a Mafia Love Story

ch 4

After a week, large trucks came to our house and loaded all the 20 boxes that had all of our material. We were shifting to my step mom's, Clara, villa from a 2-bhk. I was given a bigger bedroom which had a huge bed, a sofa, a bathroom with bath tub and a TV. It was luxurious but still I had to get acquainted to it. I felt uncomfortable at first. As I unpacked my clothes and books the cute boy entered my room to help me. "hey" he said
"hi.....sorry for that day I ..."
"Oh no problem I understand. My aunt is....."
"She is your aunt?"I questioned
"Yes my parents died and my aunt was unmarried so they gave the business empire and this house and of course me to her"
"Well I am Shelby" 'I introduced
"I am Xavier" he said "you are a medical student right? Hey are you The Shelby Wyatt?"
"Yes but remove the 'the"
"Aren't you the world topper? In igcse? "
"Yes how'd you know?"
"you were on the billboards so I recollected it" "can I help you?" he asked taking a box which had all of my books looking at which I said "no wait that is...." It was too late as he had already fallen with the books on the floor.
"Are you fine?" I laughed and helped him get up. "Thanks but its fine I will do it on my own"
"See please let me help you I have come early from work and am free so....."he pleaded. During the 2 and a half hours of work we spoke a lot to each other. He was one year elder to me and worked at his father's office as he had completed his graduation quite early and was applying for a university for his post graduation in business. My mom (his aunt) handled the business too and was home at 8 for dinner. She was dressed in a cotton saree and served food to my dad, Xavier and me.
"you like brinjal right? Isn't it your favorite vegetable" she said serving me the piece of brinjal.
"how do you know?" I inquired.
"I am your mother" she smiled which made no sense at all as I had not even spoken to her before. It must be dad. I saw Xavier smirking I don't know for what reason.
