Didn't Know: Surreptitious { Book 2 }

Prologue

Virgil and Emile expected to move into a big house, but not as big as the one that was in front of them. They gaped at how big the mansion was.

"You live here!?" Virgil exclaimed and turned to his boyfriend.

"Yep! I told you I was rich and had a big house, didn't I?" Roman smirked.

"Yeah, but... I didn't expect the house to be this big."

"Me either..." Emile muttered. "It scares me..."

"Same... can we just not live here? I think it would be best." Virgil took a few steps back and backed up into Roman.

"You guys are not going anywhere. I guarantee they'll like you, Virgil." Roman softly smiled and kissed Virgil's cheek.

"Same with you, Em." Remy nuzzled Emile's cheek. Emile and Virgil glanced at each other and sighed.

"Fine..." They said.

They all walked into the mansion. Virgil and Emile looked around and was in awe at how tall the ceiling was.

"Holy f-" Virgil got cut off by a high-pitched scream. Virgil and Emile clung onto their own boyfriends. Then they saw two older people, male and female, walk into the room. Well, the woman ran into the room. She clapped her hands together and hugged Roman and Remy, ignoring that Emile and Virgil were in the room.

"You're back!" She yelled. She then looked at Virgil and Emile. "Oh? Who are they?"

"Mom, this is Virgil and Emile," Roman said, gesturing to them. Emile smiled a bit and Virgil did his little salute.

"Oh! Nice to meet you. I'm Juliet, Roman's mother." Juliet said. "And Remy is our adopted son."

"I know. I'm his cousin." Virgil said. Juliet's eyes widened.

"You mean the cousin that didn't stop his father from kicking Remy out?" Juliet asked.

"..." Virgil turned and glared at Remy. "...Did you tell them that? You know I was frozen still."

"Eh... I didn't think about it." Remy shrugged. Virgil still glared at him. Emile sensed the hostility from Virgil and so took Virgil by his arm.

"Um... we need fresh air for a bit." Emile awkwardly smiled and dragged Virgil outside.

Once they were outside, Virgil took his arm away from Emile's grip.

"I can't believe him!" Virgil yelled. Emile looked at him.

"Don't get upset. Remy was probably in a bad mood when he said that." Emile said.

"Yeah, right. I should never trust him..." Virgil muttered.

"Don't say that, Virgil. He's your cousin."

"I wish he wasn't sometimes..."

Emile gasped. "Virgil!"

"This was a bad idea... I didn't mean for it to happen." Virgil sniffed.

"I know, Virgil... but everything happens for a reason. Without this family that adopted Remy, you wouldn't have found Roman." Emile put his hands on Virgil's shoulders.

"Yeah..." Virgil softly smiled, then frowned. "I'm sorry for insulting your boyfriend..."

"Don't apologize to me, apologize to Remy."

Virgil nodded and they walked back inside. Roman was talking to his parents. Roman noticed them and smiled.

"Hey, are you okay, Virgil?" Roman asked. Virgil nodded and looked at Remy.

"I'm sorry, Remy..." Virgil muttered.

"No, I'm the one who's sorry. I always forget that you freeze up when something is going wrong." Remy said. Then Roman's mother walked up to Virgil.

"Roman said you were his boyfriend, is that right?" Juliet asked and crossed her arms.

"Um... yes, ma'am." Virgil took a step back. Juliet smiled brightly.

"I didn't expect his boyfriend to be this adorable!" She said and hugged Virgil. Virgil held back his usual hiss from physical contact. And that was very hard to do...

"Mom, he hates physical contact," Roman said.

"Oh!" Juliet let go. "Sorry about that. It's just that you are so adorable!"

"Thank you..." Virgil flushed. Juliet flashed him a smile and then looked at Emile.

"You're also adorable- do you like hugs?" Juliet asked. Emile awkwardly smiled.

"Um... yes?" Emile said, but it sounded like a question. Juliet hugged Emile tightly.

"Can you just show them to their rooms?" Roman asked. Juliet let go of Emile.

"Why? I thought they were staying with you guys in your own rooms." Juliet said. Emile and Virgil blushed.

"I mean- they can if they want to." Roman looked at Virgil.

"Yes." Emile and Virgil said.
