Bubble Gun

Chapter one hundred nine: "Bubble Gun"

"N-nothing just something embarrassing" he stuttered while hugging me

I squinted my eyes and started patting his coat to try and find the thing he is trying to hide but he managed to grab my hand quickly before I could reach for his inner pocket

"Maybe we should get ready to leave for the beach tomorrow" he suggested trying to change the topic and shift my attention away from the thing he is hiding in his inner coat pocket
But then curiosity will kill me so I just agreed

We walked back to the manor hand in hand

"What happened to the two?"

"You mean the Diasmo's?"

"No maybe the two birds that just landed in the garden" I sarcastically answered him while rolling my eyes making him chuckle

"Dad kicked them out as soon he saw you faint, can't believe he is the same person who didn't like you before"

We both exchanged looks because that was how we were before. He pulled me close to him while we were walking and rested his head on my shoulder making an awkward lean sideways

"And are you sure that's the dress you are gonna wear for your date tomorrow?" Mom asked me with a bewildered look on her face, Aunt Laborè looked at the dress I held up with two hands right in front of me

I furrowed my brows and looked at the dress "What? It's casual and relaxing for a nice date at the beach"

This made Aunt Laborè drop her ballpen by accident "Are you serious?"

The dress was just a casual pale yellow thigh-length shoulder dress with a cute now in the middle at the waist. Our attention was shifted immediately ay the little girl who barged into my bedroom door

"Tia honey what are you doing?" Natalie asked our little niece who slammed the door open with bubble guns in both hands

"Mommy got me this cool gun a week ago, look!" she pressed the button and bubbles started coming out
Tia Elena Marshall, Romeo and Juliet's 5-year-old daughter wanted to stay with us for the weekend while the two were on a busy road trip

She pointed the gun at Wendy and Cara

Adeline started popping bubbles since she sat near Cara "Cool gun, where did your Mom buy it?" she asked before checking out the bubble gun

Tia let Adeline touch one of her toys and handed the other to Cara who wasn't interested in the bubble gun but just kept pressing the button to let bubbles out

Her big eyes looked at the dress I held up, with small hands she pointed at it "Pretty! Very pretty"

I held my nose up high "See? Tia thinks it's pretty" I boasted and gave my little niece a high five

Aunt Laborè was about to interfere but Mom stopped her and just gave her the "Just let her" look
Why are they so worried about my dress for a simple date at the beach? Me and Cloud have been going on casual dates for a long time and I have never seen them act so nervous about it

Tia was emotionally intelligent so she can read the situation based on just a few observations "Auntie Penelope would look pretty on whatever she wears because Uncle Cloud is simple for her" she shrugged and walked up to Adeline to sit on her lap to play with bubble guns

Ella, Natalie, Brie, and I blinked a few times while gazing at her tiny back

"Sometimes her emotional intelligence scares me" Dad honestly said when he stopped looking at an art magazine after he heard what Tia said
