The Royals

Ch.5

For a one-year-old baby's birthday, this party is huge! All thanks to Sam, the mother, The Royals ex-party queen. She really knows how to throw a party without leaving the glamour essence even for the kids. She did well by inviting whole people in the town for coming today. Open house style. Another side of her that I adored so much.

For hours, mom forces me to keep her company to meet and greets people who keep coming like a wave of human-cane. I was looking for my escape until I saw my comfort zone and managed to slip away. 

Hiding in the treehouse that uncle Damien build for us when we were kids. Having drinks and watch the chaos that made from the children whose running here and there like they are an energizer bunny or something, one cry and the other followed like a virus that spreads so fast for anyone liking. Those are not my scenes.  My head is pounding just watching scenes like.

"Hey, stranger. What are you doing up here?" Sam startle me and climbs up to the treehouse.

"Looking for your creations?"

"You still never fond the children aren't you?"

"You know me well, kiddo"

"Don't try to be a big ass. I am still older than you two weeks remember?"

"But still I am way much taller than you and way bigger"

"Asshole! Seriouly, what are you doing up here really? Why not join our cousins down there?"

"With a chaos like that? Nah, I will pass. I will talk to them later. Mom was drag me to meet all the people she knows and forced me to stay with her until I managed to escape."

"Hah, you such a good kid. Make Mommy and Daddy proud by escaped to the treehouse!"

"You and I, we both know we ain't a good kid from the beginning"

"I have changed, you jerk!"

"Adult party for kids? I don't think so"

"I am not gonna argue with you about this"

"Wise enough"

"Hey Art, see that blonde girl in blue dress?"

"That sitting with our cousins? What about her?"

"Do you know who is she?"

"Nah. I don't think so. Why?

"Nothing. I just think she is your type."

"You do remember that I am still engaged with your sister?"

"Then why don't you make a move with my sister?"

"And tell her what? Hey, long time no see, let's get marriage shall we?"

"Not like that dumbass. Well, try to talk to her, see how it goes."

"You know I never really talk to her. I don't know how to start a conversation with her"

"Would it be easy for you to talk to that girl in the blue dress?"

"Why her?"

"Why not? I know her, she not a bad person. Great personality, very smart and an independent woman..."

"You sure like a magazine. Knows everything!"

"I have plan making my own magazine"

"I hope your nosy got to pay off. By the way, where is your sister? Haven't seen her yet"

"Do you see her anywhere?"

"No. Is she's not coming today?"

"Who knows what is she up to now. She is a very busy woman. Listen, just talk to that girl, say hi or whatever."

"This ain't a school time anymore, Mom!"

"Have some balls, Art. I gotta go now, hubby needs me"

"I do actually, two, remember? And send my love to hubby. I misses him"

"Sometimes you really sounds like gay, you know"

"Get out or I am gonna kick you down"

"Alright, alright. Talk to that girl"

"No promise"

After Sam leaves, my attention is back to the girl in a blue dress. She sure looks familiar so I decided to talk to her. Maybe i do know her.

When I approach her, I saw a couple of familiar faces that I recognized sitting and laughing with her. They saw me and start yelling like old lunatic cousins.

"Hello, cousins... Athena, Patricia, Barney and... Sarah? You dyed your hair!"

"Yeah. Blame Sam for that." Barney answers for her.

"Why?" I asking Sarah again but cleary she is avoiding me.

"She loses a bet. Anyway, how are you brother?" Barney said.

"Same old, same old. This party is huge"

"Whole town people gathering in here. I like your hair by the way. I bet your mom force you to Yana this morning?" Athena ask.

"Yup. Tricky like she used to be"

"I still have something to do. You guys have fun okay?" Before we can ask her, Sarah quickly storm off and disappeared in the crowd.

"Oh man.." Barney give me the looks

"I know. She is mad at me"
