Well fancy it!!! I don't see Aunt Anaya anywhere....GREAT.

I went to the nearest souvenir shop in Heathrow Airport and indulged myself while waiting for the familiar lady. While busy whirling my luggage through and fro after growing bored, I finally saw the knowable face waving her arm towards me. She was tall but Aunt Anaya was always in height and I saw her immediately because she was the only one with sunglasses as black as coal inside the airport........

I walked towards her with a fast pace and gave her a successful smile when I'd come as close as to touch her handbag....DOLCE GABANA!!! Woahhhh.....

"Ferry", she exclaimed in her sing song British accent and I smiled....only in my head. "I'm so glad to see you. You've grown so much and my you're so pretty". She grabbed my cheeks and kissed me there. I tried not to show any resentment...

'Manners Ferry...manners...'

"Mm", I answered, following her out the airport to her Ford waiting outside..OH MY GOD!!!!!!

"You look nice too Aunt Anaya. Like the scarf".

"Oh...thank you dear. But aunty?? To old!! Just Annie, really".

'Really?' I thought to myself.

We made our way to the white silver beauty waiting there right in the front. A man in a uniform got out from the driver's seat, bowed at 'Annie' and opened the back door. She has a Chauffeur...... You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me! How filthy rich are these people...I suppose Sofia gets whatever she wants. 'Annie' and Uncle Daniel's (or maybe he wants me to call him Danny so it suits Annie better??) only little princess. I dislike her though....to me, she's just a royal pain in the ass.

She's my age and I only hope that I don't have to share a room with her!!

I sighed in envy before hopping into the seat beside Annie.

..............................

"Cut! Alright guys, take 5" Gavin's thunderous voice echoed around the studio like a volcanic eruption. It's no wonder he didn't need a speaker that often. He was a loudspeaker himself!!

"Good job people..well done".

I was exhausted!!! Geez...I used to think that acting was a piece of cake....

"Hey Ace....oh Asa Margarita...will you turn around and look at me?"

'Not again', I thought. I'm being called frequently by that name enough to know who it was without turning.

"I need a break Aramis", I said, walking towards my dressing room. For a seventeen year old, there's loads to be done around here, that's for sure! While turning into a corridor, I heard the sounds of the screech of a newly worn sneakers and sighed. (Yep...I'm that professional on feet wear!!!!)

"Asa....wait up.." I heard Aramis called and stopped in my tracks. I turned to look at him, a little annoyed.

"What is it?"

"Let's go over the next script together", the other boy suggested and I suddenly felt curious. "Me, you, Abigail and..uh..."

"And who?" I asked.

""Hailee", Aramis looked around, face a little red and I giggled. I knew it!! He does have feelings for Hailee after all. Good for him.

I nodded my head in agreement. "Yea..sure. Just need a drink and a quick snack". I trailed of to where my dressing room was. "Hey, ask Moises and the rest to join us too. Be right back".

I was half way through my chocolate bar when I heard my phone buzzed. I stared at the screen and seeing my mom's face on my iPhone 5, I quickly took the call.

"Hey mom!"

"Asa, I need to tell you something?"

"Go on", I replied. My mom sounded nervous and I can sense that hint of seriousness in her tone too so I tried to pay more attention to her than to my Snickers.

"There will be someone here to see you tomorrow. You will be shocked but I shan't tell you who it will be".

"Oh mom!!" I groaned over the phone, plopping down on the sofa heavily. "You know I hate suspense!!"

I heard my mother laughed. "Patience is virtue", she said and I groaned more. "But you will be excited to meet he....I mean, that someone".

"Is it a he or her? Female or male?" I asked. 'Adam or Eve?' I added in my head.

"Someone", my mother said firmly and I shrugged. "A friend of yours that you haven't meet for a while now".

"Really?"

"Yes"

"Well, I wonder who that unlucky fellow could be?"

( crunching on Snickers)....

"You know I'm not good with faces, right?" I added. "I don't even remember how Loxie used to look like when she was 1".

"Oh, but you'll remember this one". My mother sounded confident! I opened my room door to walk back to the studio. 10 minutes and it's....acting on set again!

"You sure mom?"

"Fancy a bet son?"

I shook my head and gave a small laugh.

"No thanks".
