1277words
'What is it to you if I go back or I do not, don't tell me that you don't want me to go," Zayn said and Luci rolled her eyes at him incredulously.
'You are making me comfortable here, you are rich, so go back to your damn house," she said, dropping the food on the table.
'Are you sure that your parents are only conversing, I mean what on earth are they talking about since you got out of the room?" Alyssa said to the kids who were sitting on the chair.
Andrea couldn't have been any more disappointed when she got downstairs and learned that Luci was just mid way through her cooking when she smelled the aroma, she just went to sit on the chair quietly.
'Maybe they are doing more than talking? There are many other things to do alone in the room," Zayn said and Luci glared at him.
'Keep shut asshole, there are actually kids here watching your damn words," Luci snapped at Zayn who just shrugged innocently.
'About what I told you guys to do, was it a success?" Luci asked the kids and Andrew bobbed his head, Andrea was too hungry to care, she refused to eat anything that is not part of what Luci is cooking.
'We did as you sent us, they are going on a date tomorrow, we did our part so make sure to do yours," Andrew said, munching on an apple.
'It is you that should be careful of what you say to the kids, what on earth are you planning to do to Sapphire,"
'None of your business," Andrea snapped at the man which made him stare at her in surprise.
'You don't like me?" He asked.
'Not in the least," she replied before turning to face the kitchen direction.
Sapphire came down from the room just as the table was set and they all sat.
'Alexander is getting a phone call," Sapphire had made a rule, everyone living in the house must eat at the same place unless they are extremely busy, that way you would know who is on bad terms with who and how to solve it,"
One of the main things that turned the Conrad family into a mess is miscommunication and pride, it won't be that messy if they actually communicated. She had made a vow with herself that her own home won't be like that.
'You had quite a lot of things to talk about with Alexander," Alyssa said, after she and Sapphire smiled, he packed some food onto a plate and put it on the tray.
'He doesn't eat in his room," Alicia said and Luci bumped her shoulder on her's.
'He would if Sapphire asked him to," Luci whispered and Alicia nodded.
'That's true,"
'I would take this to Alexander, come to the room when you are done kids," Sapphire said and they gave the okay sign with their fingers, too busy with their food.
Sapphire turned and walked up the stairs while Luci and Claire whistled while giggling loudly, Sapphire turned and gave them the finger, a small smile on her face but the older twins only wriggled their brows at her.
'Why on earth did you keep eating, if you eat this much, can't you go to your place and do it there," Luci said with a disgusted face.
'I think that you find every single chance you get to talk with me,"
'Talk to you my foot," she said, irritated with the man, he just gets on her nerves.
—--------------------
Sapphire opened the door and saw that Alexander was still on the call, he was doing a video call with them, they decided that would have to suffice since Alexander was injured.
She sat on the chair and waited for him to finish his business, he ended it and closed the laptop before turning to her.
'You should eat your food before it gets too cold," She told him. 'I ate mine downstairs,"
'Next time you want me to eat my food in the room, would prefer it if we both eat up here," he told him and she nodded. 'Feed me?"
'Why would I do that?" She asked and he gestured to her shoulder, she shook her head at his silliness and took the class of juice, bringing it to her lips.
'Sleep with me every night from today onwards," he said and Sapphire choked on her juice before turning to stare at him with wide eyes.
'You…"
'We won't do anything, just sleeping," he said and moved his face closer to hers. 'unless you want us to do something else," he whispered and she pushed his head away with a smile on her lips. 'Maybe you should just move here stuff in here altogether,"
'Why would I do that?"
'We are friends, you said it yourself and friends live in the same room,"
'Are you not worried about you being my friend?"
'True love start with friendship, I heard that from someone,"
'Probably Zayn," she said. 'the kids would sleep here more often than ,"
'Does that mean that you agree?" He asked and a smile graced his lips when Sapphire nodded.

'Oh god, I missed you Maxwell," Sapphire said, hugging the man who wrapped his hand around her tightly.
'I miss you more, I thought that the only time I would get to see you is when you come to the Conrad mansion but Ruby told me that it is warm here and I can come anytime," Maxwell replied as they went to sit on the couch.
Ruby already went to Andrea and Andrew who were getting ready for the picnic Alicia and Alyssa want to take them to, they all got along pretty well.
'What makes you think that you can't come here?"
'Maybe you don't know because you are his wife but Alexander is an intimidating man when he wants to be," Maxwell said and Sapphire chuckled.
'How is grandma?" She asked.
'Well she is good, trying to find balance among your mom, Aunt Brielle and Felix," he replied.
Maxwell never got along with his father so he calls him by his name, he once told her that he does that because he didn't deserve any sort of title.
'They are having an argument on whether you should be allowed into the mansion since you have been disowned and all,"
'They had no problem with me entering when they wanted to marry me off, they are such a bunch of comedians,"
'You couldn't have chosen a better day to come but Sapphire isn't free today, she has a date with Alexander, you don't want to be the reason why she didn't show up, do you?" Luci said to Maxwell who quickly stood up from the couch like he was burned.
'Don't scare him Luci, don't mind her Maxwell,"
'I am not minding her but it is about time I formed a good relationship with your kids, I will see you next time," he said and went away, Sapphire glared at Luci but the woman only shrugged.
'You don't want him to meet you unprepared, I bet that he would be quite romantic about it."
'I am only doing this for the kids,"
'Have you chosen the clothes that you would wear?" She asked and Sapphire's eyes widened in realization before she rushed up the stairs, Luci stared at her and shook her head in amusement.
'I am only doing this for the kids," she mimicked before she rushed up the stairs after her.
