Octavian's POV

"Meet me in the park near your house at two. I'll be there waiting for you." I texted Ema.

I have everything planned for today. I hope everything will go perfectly fine and that she wont mind some company. I have two brothers and she is going to meet them. One lives with me and other has a house on the lake. We all lived together before, but I moved to the City and my brother followed.

Our third brother wanted to stay on the lake because of nature and his love for water. My phone vibrated, I checked to see Ema texted me back. "I'll be there." Great!

I am excited to finally show her my brothers. I hate it when we are texting and brother suddenly calls me so I have to hurry and save his ass. Oh boy, Konstantin isn't really capable of saving himself. That's why I always have to save him.

Enough about him. My other brother, Maximilian is the wisest of us three, but somehow he doesn't really like to show it unless it's really necessary. He also plays hell of a videogames and we are all big metal heads. I should get going to the park to wait for Ema.

Ema's POV

It's Saturday. My parents let me go, so I decided to grab some money for the quick shopping. I had no idea how to dress because Octavian didn't say where we are going today. Like it would make a big difference.

I always wear black jeans, but I will go with my black Star Wars Tee and black Vans. I tied my hair in a fucking ponytail because I feel super weird and uncomfortable around people with my hair let down. Especially if Octavian is going to take me to some super public place. It was almost two o' clock so I started walking towards the park.

When I was near I could already see Octavian sitting on the bench, waiting for me. "Hi."

"Hello, milady." That made me laugh.

"May I know now where are you taking me?"

"Of course not. It is a surprise. Nothing much, but still."

"Oh..." I made a sad face.

"You want accomplish anything with that look." He smirked.

Great! I know nothing, except that we will walk, because I can't see car anywhere.

"When is your birthday?" Octavian suddenly asked.

"Two days after Christmas. Why?"

"Just curious."

"And when is yours?"

"On winter solstice."

After some time, maybe after fifteen minutes of walking we arrived in front of a building. He brought me in and lead all the way to one apartment. On the door was written "Alexander".

"Hmmm... your surname, your apartment, I guess?"

"You guessed right. But I'm not the only one living here, just so you know." Before I managed to say anything he unlocked the door and lead me in the apartment.

"Octavian, you are finally home, check this out. Oh, you brought her over bro." Guy almost ran in front of us. He was super fast and athletic looking.

I quickly nudged Octavian in his ribs with elbow. I guess the guy saw my action so he smiled a little and spoke: "That wasn't really nice of me, sorry. You must be Ema, I am Konstantin."
