“Tell me, what did you do to make it happen?” she asked curiously.

“My brother is no good!”
“But that’s the kind I like the grinned mischievously.
I shook my head and we walked to the area where the barbecue was happening.
I scanned my eyes over the entire area, stopping at Will. He was sitting with a glass of whiskey in his hand, and a blonde was talking to him while he simply nodded and looked at me intently.
“Disguise, Olivia said, and I looked away, walking to the table where we were before.
are we going out tonight?” Lorenzo asked, putting his arm around my shoulder.
“What kind of intimacy is this, dear?” I asked, trying to stay serious but laughing at his expression.
“We’re friends, come on. We have plenty of intimacy,” he joked.
I settled into my chair, looking around, I stopped my gaze on my parents, who were hugging me. They had been married for so many years and still seemed to love each other as if they were two young people who had just discovered love.
One day, I want a love like that.
I want to find someone who loves me and takes care of me.
I smiled as I saw my father pick up my mother and jump with her into the pool. Everyone cheered happily for my parents happiness. My father hugged her while she gave him a few playful slaps. She couldn’t swim and didn’t like to get into the pool much.
My father called everyone to get in the water too. Some went in, including Will.
“Let’s go,” Lorenzo pulled me, pumping into the pool
with me.
I surfaced, laughing with him as he swallowed a mouthful of water.
“I didn’t like it,” he po
pouted
I shook my head, laughing, and swam to my parents, hugging them both.
“You two are the most beautiful couple1 know,” I said sincerely.
Wrong is not doing what you want because you’re afraid of what others will think
“You and your brother are the fruits of this love, my father hugged me, “My little girl.”
“Hey, Dad, isn’t Julia adopted?” Brian appeared to annoy me. I stuck my tongue
e out at him.
“Who shows tongue asks for a kiss,” Lorenzo said, approaching me and getting a smack on the head from my father.

“Damn!” my father shouted excitedly. I got curious about what it was.
“What happened?” I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me,
“We won a trip to Las Vegas,” he said excitedly. pulling my mother to see.
Everyone cheered excitedly. Most of them were drunk

POV JULIA
I tend to beat around the bush, talk excessively, say more than I should, and get lost in a sea of words. The culprit is my need for expression.
was sitting in front of my vanity, combing my hair while deep in thought.
Sometimes, I liked this. I liked stopping to think about what was happening at a given moment.
Since the day William found out that I was the woman from the hall, I haven’t seen him anymore. He hasn’t come to my house, which is quite strange because before, he used to come here every day without fail. But since that day, he hasn’t shown up, it’s been two weeks, and today my parents are going on the trip they won a gift.
“Your brother is an idiot,” Olivia entered my room without knocking and closed the door forcefully before flopping onto my bed…
“Why are you slamming the door?” 1 asked, turning to face her.
“Oh, sony,” she said, sitting on the bed,”
“Your brother annoys me,” she grumbled.
“Wasn’t he the love of your life?” I teased
But he still an idiot,” she muttered, “He was with a woman by the pool just now, and it made me furious,” she said angrily.
He still is. Bu
warned you,” I pointed at her.
“Are you going to rub it in my face?” she asked, getting angry.
“It’s not about rubbing it in, but I told you a thousand times that he’s no good. I know my brother like no one else. I live with him 24 hours a day. I know he doesn’t deserve you,” I got up and sat beside her on the bed, “Brian is the type of guy you have a one–night stand with, and that’s it.”
“I was already in love with him
before we got together,” she grumbled, “Now, got worse.”
Yes, my friend, she had been with Brian a few times during the work. Now he’s probably tired of her, and she’s going to suffer.
“Forget about him,” I said, getting up, “You’re beautiful, Liv. You deserve the world.”
“I wanted him,” she whined
“If you want breadcrumbs…” I shrugged, leaving the room and heading downstairs.
My parents s were in the living room,
talking to my brother. I approached them, listening to a series of lectures my father was giving him.
“Good morning, family,” I said, getting their attention
“I’m glad you’re here, my daughter, my mother said, pulling me into a hug. As you know, we’re going on a trip today…” I nodded, “I don’t want to leave you two alone
“You can go in peace, Mom. We know how to take care of o
care of ourselves,” I smiled.
I know, my love. But I won’t be able to enjoy the trip knowing you two are here alone,” she stroked my hair.
1 can stay at Liv’s house.”
Brian made a face at me, and I flipped him off showing the middle finger
“You two look like a pair of children, my mother crossed her arms. If i leave you alone, you’ll kill each other.”
She wasn’t wrong.
Brian drives me crazy. He’s unbearable.
“They don’t look like children, they are my father crossed his arms, “Williams offered to take care of you.”
Wham will take care of yo
1 choked on my saliva. I was roughing like cry, barely hearing what my parents were saying. I felt someone hatting my bark, and I finally managed to clear my
throat
Is everything okay?” Brian asked, concerned.
“What did you say, Dad?” Lasked nervously.
“William will take care of you,” he repeated, “He’s the only person I trust to leave my two treasures with.”
“Dad, we’re not children,” I grumbled.⠀⠀
