SLS#4# Today's Cleopatra

Firecracker

Riley's POV

" Where are we going?" Bryan asked me.

" We are going to meet someone." I said. I wanted to meet Mrs. Rainhart. So, I came to take Bryan to accompany me.

" Meet whom? " He asked me.

" Meet Mrs. Rainhart. " I said.

" But why? " He asked me.

" Wanna know if she has mental issues. " I said.

" No. We are not going anywhere." He said.

" Why are you saying that?" I said.

" If Bro comes to know he will hung me up." He said and I rolled my eyes.

" Don't worry. I will handle him." I said to him.

" No. Still we are not going anywhere." He said. " Sit here. Let's play chess." He said to me and I rolled my eyes.

" I don't know how to play Chess." I said.

" Then I will teach you. " He said.

" Chess is kid's game and I am not a kid." I said though I knew it was wrong which I said but I wanted to irritate him.

" Ann is kid?" He asked me.

" Yes, of course, Ann is kid. She is only 20. She is not matured as well. She is big baby and you are little baby. " I said and he rolled his eyes at me. I chuckled inwardly looking at Bryan's irritated face. He looks cute though. I didn't think I will have such a lovely family one day. Thanks to Josh though. If he didn't come to my life then it wouldn't be possible.

" I am not baby. I am already 18 and soon you be 19." He said proudly.

" I am 22. Soon to be 23."I said to him and he rolled his eyes.

" You know what?!" He asked me.

" What!!" I asked him.

" You are weird." He said.

" Yes. But still you love me. Don't you?" I asked him and he sighed.

" I wish you weren't my big sister!!" He said.

" Then what would you do?! Propose me? " I asked him and he looked at me irritatingly.

" Alright. Your wish is never going to come true. Because I am already your big sister. And you know what big sisters do? " I asked him.

" Yes, does their makeup and irritates younger siblings. " He said and I chuckled.

" Who said that to you? " I asked him.

" No one. But I have seen Marina's older sister. She is always busy with her make ups and irritating Marina. " He said and I chuckled.

" Interesting character. Let's meet her some day." I said.

" Why?! To discuss about makeup? " He asked me.

" Do I wear too much make up? " I asked him.

" No. You are naturally so beautiful. You don't need much." He said to me. I chuckled.

" Besides, if I need to discuss about makeups then there is our Ann. No one but Ann is trustworthy and she is skilled as well. She has experiences. Why will I go to someone else then? " I asked him

" Yeah right. " He said.

" Think befowe you talk, boi." I said in a babyish voice. He rolled his eyes.

" Why are you rolling your eyes at my innocent words?" I asked him.

" You are anything but innocent." He said and I laughed.

" Hmm... You got a badass big sister. Can't help it." I said. He sighed.

" Hmm ... Nice. Keep going." Both Bryan and I turned as we found my mom entering the room.

" What?!!" I asked weirdly.

" Spelling on guys. But didn't think that you will do this to Bryan as well. Isn't he like your brother? " She asked me and both Bryan and I looked at her with widen eyes. What is she talking about?!

" What do you want to tell me?! Tell that clearly." I said.

" I think you should understand what I have said. You are expert in that anyways." He said.

" What are you talking about? Say things straight." I said to her.

" I don't find anything hard for you to figure it out." She said.

" Yes, it's hard for me to figure out your maze of words." I said.

" I was just saying that you lure both the brothers too well. When one is not around then other is here. What else do you need? How clever you are!!! I am so proud of you being my daughter." She said and I looked at her with widened eyes.

" What?!!" I asked her.

" You heard me once. Why are you asking again? I think you can hear me clearly." She said.

" Are you out of your mind!!!" Bryan asked her.

" You are still young, Bryan. Don't fall into her traps. She will destroy your life. Try to stay away from her." She said.

" I will destroy his life??" I asked her.

" Or what?!! You are having both of the brothers isn't it a good part of the games you are playing here?!! " She asked.

I looked at her with widened eyes. What is she talking about?! Bryan is like my younger brother to me. I will never ever look at him like that and now that I am engaged I will not even think about looking at someone else. I am not a wh*re anyways.

Suddenly a hard slap fall on her cheek which made both me and Bryan shocked. It was my MIL. She was fuming in anger.

" Enough!!!" I heard Mrs. Schwartz saying. " Don't dare to utter a single word more. If you even try to do that I will cut down your tongue." She said. "What did you think you will keep saying anything about my sons and daughter-in-law and I will keep listening to them like a dumb person?!! No. You are wrong." She said.

" Jhon!!! Jhon!!!" She shouted.

" Lara!!! What happened? " Josh's uncle said.

" You and your wife along with your daughters will leave my house this instant." She shouted.

" But what happened? " He asked.

" What happened that you should listen from your wife because you don't listen to anyone but her. So, I don't bother to explain you anyways. I am telling you to leave then you guys will leave. I don't want to hear anything else. I give you guys 3 hours. Leave the mansion by then. " She said.

I looked at her weirdly. I heard she is so innocent. But she is a firecracker.
