After we reached home. I was super tired. Even I slept the whole ride from the skating rink.

Sensing my tiredness Xavier took me by bridal-style towards my room.

He made me comfortable on my bed and then kissed my forehead.

He turned around to leave but I stopped him by tugging his sleeves.

"Don't go. Stay." I whispered to him sleepily.

"Okay babygirl."

And with that he removed his T-shirt and came under the blanket.

I cuddled with him and fell asleep in no time.

The next Day was twins and Noah's school.

They have taken-off yesterday but now they have school.

They left early morning while I slept till 12.

When I woke up I took a much needed bath and then went on to search for Ace or Emilio.

I found no one in the living room, kitchen.

I started searching the whole mansion but the fourth floor.

I found Ace in the library of the mansion sitting beside the window on a  bean-bag and reading..........'Harry Potter And the Prisoner of Azkaban'.

Wow!

I didn't knew Gummy bear is also a fan of Harry Potter.

Will use it against him in future.

Yeah

Wicked.

I know.

But who cares.

I decided to terrify Gummy bear.

I slowly made my way behind him on my tippy toes.

As I came near him I slowly started leaning behind his back to shout near his ear.

But before I could be successful in my plan. Ace turned around and shouted in front of my face.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOO" Ace shouted.

"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhh" I screamed while putting a hand on my heart's side.

He started laughing hysterically.

"You scared me. Who does that?" I whispered shouted him still in dread after his shouting.

He just cocked his one eyebrow in challenge.

"Okay, Okay. Fine." I surrendered knowing full well this is in our genes.

"So Miss. What brings you here in my den?" Ace questioned

I giggled at his choice of words and said, " I just missed you." innocently.

He narrowed his eyes at me and said, "Oh Really?"

I huffed and said, "Okay fine. I am bored."

"You just wake up right now and you are bored. Like really?" Ace said

I stomped my feet dramatically and said, "Gummy bear. Please. Let me be in your company. Please????"

Ace chuckled and said, "Okay Bobo"

"Yaahhhh" I said excitedly. Ace shook his head with a smile still on his face at my antics.

After my initial excitement died down I looked at the book in his hands and then said, "So Harry Potter?" in a teasing tone while eyeing the book in his hands.

Ace face paled.

"What?" He bring the book in front then quickly threw it on the cushion and said, "No No. I was just cleaning it."

"Huh. Like really? Really Gummy bear? You came up with this." I said with a smirk all the while internally laughing at his stupid attempt to lie about it.

"Geez. Stop laughing at me. Otherwise find someone's else's company." Ace said.

My smirk got wiped from my face and it was Ace's turn to smirk.

"Okay." I said with a pout.

He ruffled my hair and said, "So cute" while cooing.

I fixed my hair and asked, "So you like reading?"

"Yeah. very much. You?" 

"Yeah me too. What are your favorites?"

"Well. There are many. But I will say its _________"

My eyes went wide at his answer.

He liked my book.

My gummy bear liked my book.

He read it.

OMG!

Wow!

I can't believe it.

"Really?" I asked still in disbelief.

"Yeah. I am just waiting for the author to publish the sequel of it." He said.

"How do you know that there will be a sequel?" I asked him questioningly.

"There has to be one. The ending was done in a way that clearly shows there is going to be a sequel. The crime was still not testified. " He said.

He read 'My Book' so deeply.

I can't wipe out the big smile on my face.

"Okay."

Should I tell him about it.

Or not.

I should surprise him when the sequel book is ready.

He would be ecstatic. 

Yeah.

That's it. I'm gonna surprise him.

Yo!

"And I forgot tell you something." He said almost sheepishly.

I looked at him and motion for him to continue.

"There is a family gathering today?"

"Oka- What? Family gathering? There is more family?"

"Yeah. They are coming today to meet you especially. So get ready at 7."

My eyes-widened.

Today I''m gonna meet them.

Way to go Ella. Way to go.

I sighed deeply.

This is gonna be a big day.
