Betrayal And Happiness

First Meeting

Aracella's POV

He yelled at me! Well this is a first. No matter how mad oldest brother got he never yelled at me. I began to tear up.

"Cella don't cry," he sighs and walks around his desk and picks me up. "I am sorry I shouldn't have yelled at you. Okay I will go on a date with her," he said while rubbing my back.

"Really!" I exclaim excitedly. "Then you have to take her to the amusement park!" I suggest to him.

"Okay, now..." He turns to Angelique "... What would be a good day and time?" He asks her.

I look at her with anticipation in my eyes while beaming a bright smile at her.

"I need to check my schedule," she tells him. I pout, she sees this and gets flustered. I hold back a laugh because its a bit funny. I am beginning to wonder if my acting is that good. I mean I even convince the movie queen. "Don't misunderstand, I might have filming," she explains. "If I can get your phone number..." She hands my brother her phone. "...I will be in contact with you to let you know when I am free."

"Angel?" I call to her before she leaves.

"Yes, little one?" She answers.

"Will it be okay if I sometimes go to you when you are filming? Or can I go with you sometimes?" I asked her.

"I would love that," she said with a bright smile. She begins to leave again.

"Don't let that snake bully you!" I yell to her and hear her chuckle. I get the feeling Angelique is not as gullible as she seems. She just lacks backing to go against that snake. If I remember correctly Angelique is the daughter of the women her father really loves... Alanna... She died when Angel was two. It is a miracle she grew up to be well... an angel. Especially with those two snakes in the house with her.

"Cella?" James called me form my thoughts.

"Yes, oldest brother?" I responded.

"Tell me... Are you interested in opening your own fashion line?" He asked.

I smirked. "No..." He looked shocked. "I want my own company," I told him. He went from shocked to flabbergasted at my statement.

"You haven't even finished school yet," he said when he regained his composure.

"Actually I have. I got my GED just this morning," I told him in a matter of fact tone.

"You're only twelve!" He says shocked.

"How about we make a deal. You help me open up the company and I will continue going thru the motions. Doing everyday school life with the exception coming to my company and overseeing things," I told him sounding completely reasonable.

He sighed, "you leave no room for arguments. Very well, a week from now you will come with me downtown you will look at a couple Office Buildings to see which one you would like."

I hugged and thanked him. I looked at the clock and notice it was near dinner time. "Big brother lets go eat!"

"Okay, go ahead and head down. I'll meet you down there in about ten minutes," he told me.

I head down to the lobby and I am about to run out the door when I bump into something or rather someone. We both land on our butts. "Ow." I get up first and dust myself off. "Are you okay? I am sorry its my fault. I should have paid more attention to where I was going." I told the boy who was just sitting there looking at me with a dumbfounded expression. I continue to extend my hand until he takes it. "I am Aracella. What's your name?"

He smiles, "Roman."

"Well Roman... Where are your parents? Do they work here?" I asked him.

Roman (age 12)

"No they don't work here and they work at the building next to this one. My dad's the president and CEO of that company. My dad was busy and I saw you form across the window and was wondering if you wanted to play with me." He said.

"I would love to but my big brother and me are going to go eat," I beam a smile at him. "Would you like to join us?"

"Cella?!" James called me.

I run and jump into his arms. He begins to check me over to see if I have any injuries. "Brother I am fine! I invited Roman to join us." I said pointing to a empty space. How rude he didn't even answer me about coming with us. Well it can't be helped. "I guess he didn't want to go."
