I stood there, looking blankly at the most idiotic person I had ever seen. And I think it is impossible to find another one like him. At least 'I' am not an idiot to go looking for an another idiot when I already have one in front of me. He smirked...
What Carter called his house, wasn't a house actually. It was a mansion - huge and um.. if you could call a home gorgeous, it was. One more thing..... Carter's family was nothing like him. Mrs. Williams pulled me into a hug as if I was her long lost childhood friend. I mean I wasn't that old. But yeah. Cassandra, whom they called Casey was the prettiest lady I had ever seen. And the twins, they were cute and quiet as always.

I squatted down to face the kids, Carter doing the same.
''Hey princess Elsa, how old are you?'' She frowned at me. Umm.. Did I say something wrong?
''My name is not Princess.''
''But, I don't know your name. Do I?'' She smiled. The boy interrupted me.
''Do you know my name?'' I pretended to think and finally snapped my fingers.
''You're Iron man.'' He giggled at the name.
''Do you know what is uncle Carter's name?''
I smirked,'' Chicken face.'' The kids doubled over, laughing hard.

With a frown on Carter's face, he asked them,'' Why are you devils laughing?''
''They probably imagined a chicken as their uncle.'' Before Carter could argue, Ariana growled out my name. Man, this girl doesn't know to talk normally.
''What?'' I asked.
''Party next week. Are you coming?''
''Am I allowed to wear what I want?'' She shook her head.
''Then, no.''
''You know what? You're coming.'' I rolled my eyes. How do these people manage to live with each other without ripping their heads off?
''I guess it'll remain a mystery.'' Shit!!
We spent a bit more time chatting. Mr. Williams and Bryan cracking jokes, Ben on the floor laughing and the kids seemed more comfortable.
'' Carter came home with a bruise on his face that day. He refused to face us.'' Frank, Mr. Williams chucked and Carter groaned.
''I heard from everyone that you hated him.'' Mrs. Williams added.
''I'm sorry Clary, but I still hate your son.''
She smiled widely at me,'' I like you.''
Carter whined like a four year old.
Casey shushed him,'' We were actually......'' She trailed off looking behind me.
Just as I expected after glancing at Casey's horrified face, I turned around to meet the moron himself. He had to spoil the mood. He grinned at us.
''I see it is family time. Hi Casey.'' I looked over to Bryan and he nodded taking the children upstairs.
''Why are you here, Carlos?'' Dad demanded but his eyes were on Cayden. He just stared at her up and down while she stood beside me with her arms folded over her chest.
''Whose toy is she, now?'' I growled,'' Don't you dare talk about her that way.''
He smirked revealing his pearly white teeth,'' I see. She's yours?''
''She's no one's.'' Ben called out grimly. Carlos walked over to Casey and I could see how tightly she had her arms around Cayden's wrist. She was definitely going to have a mark.
''How are you ,love?''
''Why are you here, Carlos?''
''I came to visit my children.''
''You lost that title as a father, the day you hit me. I would never accept a monster as the father of my kids.'' she spat. Way to go, Casey
''Divorce or no divorce, I have the right to see my kids.''
''I'm telling you, They are not your kids anymore. Get your f***ing ass out of here, You bloody...'' His eyes burned with anger and he raised his hands to slap her. I stepped forward. How dare he...
But Cayden was fast. She caught his hands in the mid air and twisted it behind him. He fell to his knees whimpering in pain. Everyone in the hall gasped and mom stepped back.
''If you dare to raise your hand on any women,'' She tapped his shoulders with her finger.'' You shall not have a single bone in this arm. Understand?'' He nodded and she released him, straightening up.
''But it's okay to consider me one.'' She gave him a sickly sweet smile that made me want to laugh. But Ben chuckled loud, ''Don't worry. He doesn't have enough guts to hit you, Cay.''
She continued, ''Now why don't you be a good boy and leave?'' Laughter erupted among us.
''Who are you?'' He demanded in a low voice.
''No one important you need to know.''
''I shall find out.''
''I don't mind.''
''You will pay for this.''
''Keep the balance.''
Dad interrupted them, ''LEAVE CARLOS!!''.
'' And don't forget. Any closer to Casey, and I shall teach her the trick.'' Cayden reminded him. As soon as he left, Casey wept onto her shoulders and she patted her awkwardly.
''Next time Case, hold out your palm, fold your fingers and punch him hard. Easy peasy.'' Both the girls laughed.
''Aww, can I join you?'' Ari asked sweetly but Ben just pounced on them. Casey pulled me into their hug and I rested my chin over her head. How sweet can this get? I could already see the glint of happiness and satisfaction in Cayden's eyes. I guess she found a family.
A caring one.
But she suddenly pulled away from us and whined loudly,'' I'm starving, trapped between these humongous guys. And you,'' She poked Bryan. '' You need to have a haircut. It's tickly.''
''Not my fault you're tall.''
'' I think I know why you don't have a girlfriend.''
''Hey!!!''
