Yes, I am sure, even if you don't go through him, you will get qualify, you are pretty. She facepalm herself again. You really are shy. Kendrick snapped her, his camera is beside him.

Hey, I will look terrible. Mandy said, he snapped more.

Where did you get that stupid idea? Kendrick speak, the man's voice is calm even though it is as similar as that of Lauren but total opposite of him

Let me see! Mandy get curious, she stand to see it, making her come closer to Kendrick, the boy inhale Mandy innocently, since she didn't add Lauren to her name, his mind is that, Mandy is just some stranger but definitely not someone Lauren hold so dear, if not, she won't be alone.

You didn't call you are coming. Larry speak not after smiling at Mandy, Mandy flash him her best smiled back.

Don't give me a thought, I wanted to surprise the masked man but he is not here.

Oh, I have been calling him but he is still not picking, he just put his phone on answering mode.

Oh that brother of yours is strange. Kendrick said, he goes back to Mandy. Are they beautiful? He asked, Mandy smiled widen, his eyes radiate, Larry ogle at the two.

How did you cope yesterday? This pretty made them let me in. Larry understand their dad words.

That reminds me, I want to go on tour guide, I don't know if you have an idea of...

I could...

You can't Mandy. Larry said, interrupting her, she looks at him, Mandy haven't really got a clue about how mad Lauren can be when it comes to his possession.

Fine, where is that girlfriend of yours? Larry frown, Tessa had told him that she is in love with Kendrick back when they were in school.

She is fine, why didn't you call you were coming? Larry asked. Nothing, I just want to surprise you all.

Kendrick, where do you live? He wanted to say something, Mandy snapped him. You know how to used the camera? He asked she nodded, this brought the two close again, Larry wants to pull Mandy from Kendrick, Lauren pushed the door.

Ahem! Lauren clear his throat, making Kendrick pull from Mandy.

Hey Lauren.

Don't you have respect? Lauren cold voice came up, he fall his face, giving Lauren a slight bow. Silly, when did you return? He pull him into a hug, they hugged each other.

I would had slept outside if not for this pretty, she... Lauren look at Mandy, who is smiling in front of the camera.

Oh! He said and sit not after pulling Mandy on his laps, Kendrick fall his eyes, Larry wanted to burst in laughter but he held himself. So you were saying my wife, was hospitable? Lauren said and peck her neck, she wanted to stand from Lauren's laps but his grip is strong on her, the way Kendrick is looking at Mandy, he need to mark his territory.

Wife!

Kendrick echoed it.

Yes, Mandy is my wife.

I thought the girl is Sharon not Mandy? Kendrick asked as bead of sweat form on his head, no woman had ever had effect on him, right from the first glance, he wanted her but he kept calm, hearing her add Edward and not Lauren to her name gave him hope but this brother of his, just dash his hope through the window.

Is Mandy not Sharon, Sharon is her sister

Okay, I... Yes... He shakes his head, he needed to be composed.

What is it Kid brother? Lauren asked. Nothing, congrats! Kendrick said as he wipe his sweat. I need to rest. Kendrick hurry to his room before he could get to his room, Lauren had smach his lips on Mandy, making Kendrick increase his step, Mandy stand up from his laps.

Why...

Are you not my wife? Lauren asked her, she wanted to say something, Lauren grabbed her waist making her come closer again, her breath becomes unstable. Don't go near my brother, if you don't want me to kill you, you should know I am a monster.

He said and release Mandy, she hurry into her room in fear, Mandy is scared of this man, she called husband, Larry look at him.

Don't give me that look, didn't you see him ogling lustfully at her? Larry just kept quiet, Kendrick is out with his bag.

Where are you going? Lauren asked him. Assuredly, I just wanted to spend just the night here, thanks anyways cousin.

Kendrick, we are not cousin.

Not now, I can't battle that with this...

With what? Larry asked him, he look at Lauren.

Do you love her? He asked out of the moon.

Are you by chance in love with Mandy? Lauren asked him, he fall his face. The true is I like her. Lauren send a punch directly to his face.

Sorry cousin! Kendrick said.

Kendrick! Larry called the man, he snapped out from his thoughts, wiping his face, did he just imagine that he had told Lauren that he is in love with his wife.

Shit! He curse inwardly.

What is wrong with you? Lauren asked, sorry, I was just carried away.

You always like that, let me wash up, I will be back before you know it, so you tell me about those Chinese girlfriends of yours. Lauren dart inside, he took his bath, the three left, Kendrick has alot of stuff to do, so he didn't return with Lauren, Lauren is the only one who return home, Mandy didn't come out from her room, she is in there through the night, the next morning, Lauren left, too busy to even check on Mandy.

Mandy is right at the dining, Sharon pulled the door, she stand in shock, she didn't expect Sharon to be there, so she was shock.
