~~~ Clayton ~~~

"Nissan! Nissan! Your back" Kaze and Zeen shouted with excitement as soon as they saw us

I patted their head as I bring out my phone

"Kaze, Zeen, where's Evangelica?" Aunt asked the brothers as she went inside the kitchen

"She's just outside mother" Zeen replied

"Evangelica? Who's she?" I mumbled to myself. Just then a woman came in with her long hair dripping wet. Suddenly I heard something, dub dub, dub dub

I heard it from my chest but chose to ignore it

"Hello there" she greeted as she smile.

Dub, dub, dub, there it is again and once again I chose to ignore it.

"Who's she?" I rudely asked

"A maid?" My brother continued then Kaze and Zeen introduced us to her and excused herself to the kitchen

"Who's she?" I asked once again

"She's onesan, we found her on the ocean and took her in" The brother's explained as they pester us to play with them.

I'm tired from the journey and have no energy to play with the kids so I ignore them and took out my phone and started to play with it.

Just then the woman, I'm guessing she's the one aunt called Evangelica earlier, came back and served us some drink

Once again she excused herself to change but these two kids stopped her just after finishing their drinks

I put my phone down and drink my iced tea.

"Ne, ne, onesan lets take a bath together" just then I couldn't help but choke on my drink and spit it out accidentally

"What's wrong, Clayton?" My brother asked as he put down his phone

"Nothing, I just choked on it" I replied as I cough while patting my chest

"My, oh my, were you surprised the kids wants to take a bath with her? Want them to swap places with you?" Aunt Shakira teased me as she laugh with a mix of childishness on her voice

"I- I am not" I suddenly put my hand around my mouth as I did not expect myself to stutter

"Pft, the heck Clayton, your blushing. Dude, you serious? " my brother said as he tries to hold his laughter

"My! It's true? I was just joking, I didn't know I hit the spot" aunt said with a mix of shock and teasing on her voice. Then my brother snapped

"Hahahahahaha. I can't believe that my cold hearted brother would melt by a mere woman. Hahahaha" Brother continued to laugh as he hide his face with his right hand and his left holding his stomach

Ignoring them I quickly return my composure and acted like nothing happened and drink my iced tea

"Aren't you going to take a bath?" I said to Evangelica who seemed to be confused along with the kids while they just look at the amused face of my brother and Aunt

"Huh? Oh yes, yes I will. Let's go" she said as the kids guide her along to the bath

"You ain't gonna stop those two brats" my brother teased while Aunt finally stopped

I gave him a glare which made him laugh once more. After having his fill he finally stopped and just drink his juice

"So what brought you two here?" Aunt asked while sitting next to me

"Ah, bout that, is it alright for my brother to live here for a while? I've got my job keeping me company all day and he just took a leave for a year because of his last mission making this younger brother of mine have all the time he wants to get wasted all day" brother explained. This time it was him who glared at me making me avert my eyes and pretend to know nothing

"I'm fine with it but..." aunt hesitated to continue

"Don't worry about the supplies on feeding him. From now on I will be sending money here so you can use that to feed him of course it includes the brats and that woman. Clayton also added his money so you can buy things that you wanna buy" brother explained as the bring out a black case and gave it to aunt

"My. Then I will put it to good use" she smiled as she put it away

"Then when are you going back?" She continued

"A week from now. I took a break so it'll be fine." Brother replied as he stretches his feet on the couch

"I see then I'll be fixing your rooms for you to stay and since it's been a while since you came back you can go and take a stroll around or go to the ocean with the kids and take a swim"

"Didn't the kids take a bath already?" I asked

"Knowing those two did you really think they went to take a bath?"

"Well now that you said it they should've been done already." I stood up and went to the corridor and followed the drip of water the three spilled from their wet bodies earlier. It already passed the bathroom and it still didn't stop. I continued to follow it and understood where it was leading me

"Ahhhh... the back door"  they ditched the bath and went back to the ocean

"Well go on you don't want to make them wait at the shore do you?" Aunt pushed me outside as my brother follow me behind

"Well let's go"

Walking towards the shore I can hear my heartbeat again dub dub, dub dub

"The hell? Do I have a heart disease?" I mumbled to myself and just then I saw someone waving at us

"Over here!"
