The Return (De Laurel Trilogy #1)

06

"Haha, hey dad!" I chuckled nervously, trying to lighten the mood.

"Answer my question, Olivia. Where. Have. You. Been?" I stated firmly.

"I was at school dad, I had a volleyball practice match." I told him.

"Okay. Next question: Who drove you here?" He asked the one question that I was trying to not get.

"It was the other team's captain, dad. King." I replied. "He insisted on driving me home because it was raining.

"Wait. He?" He asked once again.

"Yes, dad. Coach JD insisted to have a men's team practice with us." I explained.

"Oh okay. You can go now." He smiled like he didn't scold me.

"Thanks dad." I smiled back.

I took off my shoes and headed to the stairs when dad called me once again,

"Hey, Livs? Do you know where's your brother?" He asked.

"Which one?" I asked too.

"Your twin." He replied.

"Oh. He's hanging out with his friends. He said he'll be back tomorrow though." I smoothly lied.

"Okay." He said before letting me go.

I just nodded before going to my room and started to do some necessities.

"Lena!" Olen called from the couch.

"Yeah?" I shouted back.

"Can you please come here? I need to ask you something." He shouted again.

"Okay." I replied. I quickly took off my reading glasses, closed the highlighter, closed my book.

I walked out of my room to see Olen watching his favorite show, Sherlock.

"So, what do you need to ask me?" I said to get his attention.

"How do you feel if we, I mean, Oliver me and you go on a sibling vacation? Like the De Laurel siblings." He asked.

"What? A vacation? I mean I would feel absolutely ecstatic!" I clapped my hands like a little kid.

"Really?" He raised a brow. "What do you think of," He put his finger on his chin like he was thinking. "Hawaii?"

"Hawaii?" I parted my lips in shock. Hawaii? Olivia, calm down. It's just a question. We're not sure if it's true. "Hawaii is great I guess." I said cooly.

"Then Hawaii it is." He said smoothly.

"Are you sure? I asked. "I mean we're really going?"

"Yes, Lena. We're going." He smiled.

"Oh my God! Hawaii!" I screamed from both happiness and excitement.

"Calm down." He chuckled.

"Oh! When are we going? What am I going to wear? What time? When?" I started to ramble tons of questions again.

"Calm down, Lena." He put his hands on my shoulder. "To answer your questions, we are going this Friday and we are going to stay there for a week. You can wear anything you want."
