Julius drives in in his Bugatti, La Voiture Noire and catches a glimpse of Mira bolting away from the window frame up ahead as he maneuvered the car to the parking garage.

She's peeping again.

Today being a Saturday, himself and the guys went out on a ride mainly because Shawn and Dan are in Manhattan at the same time. That hasn't happened in three years and it's been an unusual Saturday considering the amount of craziness the guys displayed today and now Johnson's call.

A smile creeps to his lips as he listens to Johnson his immediate older brother. He lingers in the car conversing with Johnson, the most annoying older brother there is if he might air his opinion.

He is being a tease again and Julius can't hide the happy grin from thinking of how dramatic Mira has been since he got better and finally told his parents about them and surprisingly they knew.

Actually everyone knew from the get go except himself, Mira and Julia which in all is a story for later.

Never imagined he missed that detail.

Seeing his parents apologize for pretending not to know who Mira was all this while was a bit awkward at first but then they have always been the best and he never could have loved and appreciate them better for all their sacrifices.

"Huh," Julius shook the past event to revisit it later and instead reply Johnson. "You are annoying and stop with the teasing already."

"I take it you're home now," he hums. "She's still hiding from you?"

"Damn right," Julius glances up at the window frame where Mira obviously isn't anymore. "Caught her peeping again."

Johnson's boisterous laughter slaughtered the air.

For the past two weeks since they got back home Mira has been acting weird funny.

Sneaking around the house.

Hide and seek at home and work.

Avoiding him at all cost.

Peeping at him through whatever open space she finds.

Pretentious sleep on his arrival.

"Countless display of weirdness is the new Mira and it's been really thrilling watching and playing along."

"As it? I'm missing too much."

"Indeed," Julius chuckles. "You'd better be back soon or you'd miss more."

"She must be feeling shy and a little obliged to wanna dodge ya," Johnson has this childish wink going on as Julius rubs his forehead. "How are you coping, damn it must be crazy."

"It's the weirdest thing I've seen her do." I smile. "But I'm loving it."

"Ah!" Johnson winks more and swing a finger in the air dramatically. "Whipped! You're whipped so go ahead and laugh now Asher."

So Julius lets the laughter out. Even though he do have a clipped conversation with his three eldest brothers most of the time, he has never been able to get past this one because Johnson is the craziest, most playful of them all.
