Virago ~ The better wrong

Chapter-9

Knock.

“Liam, please get the door.” Deb shouted, carefully taking a block out, not letting the whole thing fall.

“Deborah, don’t order Liam around.” Tris said, bending down to play her turn.

“It’s okay; I bet Liam was praying to hear from her.” Lillian smirked as she changed the channels on the television.

Lillian gave up and opened the door herself and saw the fat lady behind the counter, from downstairs.

“Hey look who it is.” Lillian said glaring at her.

“Lady go get your young and beautiful boy.” The girl glared back.

“You listen to me LI__” Lillian started folding her hands just as Liam came forward and turned her around.

“Watch and Learn.” He whispered to her and turned back winking at Deb and Tris.

“Hello my lady, how are you today?” Liam said standing with his hand on the door fame and smiling at the visitor.

“Oh my god!” The lady exclaimed.

“I know right.” Liam said smiling musingly.

“Stop doing that it isn’t working.” She answered flatly and Liam turned to see Deb and Tris rolling on the floor laughing loudly and Lillian rolling her eyes smirking slightly. Just then, Ben came out of his room, moved towards the door and stood there num as always in front of strangers.

“Oooh so you are the twin brother. Wow, you guys sure are a piece of cake.” The lady said, smiling innocently and Ben just gave her a stiff one back.

“Just here to tell you and your twin that your bonfire is ready just as you wanted. You two come down at the earliest and you can bring your useless buddies too.” She said moving slyly towards Ben, “You will come right?”

“We will.” A voice said, as Owen came out of Ben’s room and stood in front of him.

“Very well. See you.” The lady said, exiting with a bow.

“Phew! That was tense.” Owen said looking back at the group.

“Who said anything about ?” Ben asked.

“You can speak now…” Tris started,

“Whoa Bonfire? Are we going?” Deb asked.

“I did.” Liam answered Ben.

“But you can’t in front of the Lady, why?” Tris continued

“I thought it would be a payback somehow.” Liam added, uncertainly.

“Shut up guys! Owen stop flirting with the lady, Liam bonfire is the worst payback I have ever seen, Tris, Ben is speaking now because he trusts us but not the lady and finally Deb we are not going anywhere.” Lillian shouted, shutting them all at once.

“Lillian, common listen to __” Owen started, moving towards her.

“No Owen you listen to me, We are not on holidays, okay. Professionalism is missing hard in you guys. Bonfires, scenery and other things are for normal people, not for a group of innocent guys traveling with the most wanted CRIMINAL.” Lillian said stressing the last word.

“Beauty-girl, look, it’s just a relaxation activity, Okay, and anyways we have the whole night in front of us.” Deb argued.

“No.” Lillian answered flatly sitting down on the couch.

“Li__” Owen started but was interrupted as Tris got up and sat in front of Lillian on the floor.

“Lillian, I know what you are thinking, look I am sure Liam will stay in New York for weeks, it’s her dream place. If we are right about her and her intentions, these maybe the last days we have got together.” Tris said, softly. And Lillian just got up and stood by the window gazing out and Tris let out a heavy sigh.

Owen went to Lillian, standing next to her as Ben and Liam sat next to Tris and Deb on the couch.

“Every moment spend together with our loved ones, in time of happiness makes our good memories, and every moment spent together with our loved ones, in times of catastrophe makes our greatest memories.” Owen said gazing towards the sky himself.

“Thank you Mr. Philosopher.” Lillian whispered.

“Anytime” He whispered back smiling.

“Dress up everybody.” Lillian shouted and Tris rushed to hug her tightly. “I love you, Tris.” She added, hugging her back.

“Okay everyone, twenty minutes” Liam announced as he went to his room and Owen took his clothes to Ben’s room.

“You can come with us.” Deb said, throwing Lillian’s Bag over her back.
