Chapter 291 - Two Hundred And Ninety-one: Changes (2/2)
”I feel like everything could go wrong,” Reina expressed her fears, ”And with me not around - ”
”Nothing would go wrong,” He assured her, ” You just worry too much,”
”Would you be able to do it? kill your father?”
Niklaus gulped, he licked his lips and looked away.
Reina smiled wryly, ”Just as I thought,”
”I would do it,” He said with determination, ”For my family to be safe,”
”Then I wish you the best of luck, may you return safely to me and our kids, Amen ” she prayed for him.
”Amen,” Niklaus concurred, ”Now sleep, Tigress. We have a long day, tomorrow,”
Meanwhile, in Isabella's room :
”So -? ”
”So -? ”
Both girls said at the same time, their gazes met. Though both of them have been talking since the past days of Reina being in the hospital, there was still that weird tension between them.
”You should probably go first,” Anabelle suggested.
”Alright,” Isabella went on, ” I know it's going to sound awkward for you since you're quite sensitive to a lot of things but I'm going to ask it anyway and not because I'm jealous, but did you had sex with Pedro?”
”We didn't. Just kissed a few countable times, that's all,” She answered with an embarrassed blush
Oddly enough, Isabella was relieved by her answer.
It was Anabelle's turn to ask, ” I know you don't care and I don't want it to look like I'm poking into your private life, but have you done it with him? ”
”No, Niklaus scared the hell out of him, Pedro wouldn't even think of it as of the moment,”
Strange enough, Anabelle too was alleviated by that revelation.
”You know what?” Isabella sat up with a decision, ”Fuck this shit,”
”Urm, what exactly are you fucking?” Anabelle was confused here
”We are strong ladies and cousins for that matter, we shouldn't let a guy tear us apart. This is why I'm going to go downstairs, pick the largest pint of Ice Cream out there and have a girls hangout tonight. What do you say to that, Anabelle?”
”Fine?” Anabelle still didn't understand what brought on the sudden change in her.
”Yes!” Isabella was gleeful?
”Now, you prepare the topic for discussion while I go get our Ice Cream,” she jumped off the bed, heading to her destination leaving behind the dazzled Anabelle.
What the hell just happened? She wondered.
In the kid's room:
”Hey, Allen,” Ailee tapped her brother awake.
”What is it now?” Allen was annoyed for being woken from his sleep.
”Neon seems to be having a nightmare,” she whispered.
”So?”
”We need to help him,”
”Not interested, you knock yourself out,” Allen faced the other side, his back turned to his older twin.
”You cold asshole,” Ailee cursed, tossed the bedsheet off of his body to his annoyance, and walked over to Neon's bed.
”Hey, wakeup,” she shook the boy vigorously.
Neon woke up with a scream but Ailee was quick to hug him, keeping him from running off with a fright.
”It's just a nightmare, Neon. Nothing else,” she rubbed his back, ”Mom does this for me whenever I have a nightmare,” she told him, successfully calming the sweating boy down.
”I don't want to sleep alone, I'm so scared,”
”Scaredy chicken,” Allen taunted.
”Don't mind my knucklehead brother, I'll sleep with you instead,” Ailee offered, already getting into the bed.
”What?!” Allen shrieked and got off his own bed, jumping upon Neon's bed and sleeping in between them.
”Are you even a girl?!” Allen yelled at his sister, ”Why would you sleep alone with a boy?”
”Why can't I sleep with him, don't I sleep with you too?” Ailee shouted back.
”That is different!” Allen asserted
”How different?!”
”You're my sister!” he claimed
”Neon's also my brother now!” She made it clear.
”You know what, forget it! Goodnight!” Allen was tired of arguing
”Humph! ” Ailee couldn't care less.
They both turned their back to each other.
”Goodnight Allen and Ailee,” Neon didn't mind their quibbling, he went back to sleep with a smile on his face.
