Chapter 46: Chapter 46

Once the dinner was over, everyone was sitting in the living room.

Zada shot a secret smile at Liam.

She saw Liam taking his phone out and typing something. And the next second, her phone pinged indicating an incoming message.

I hope you know CPR, because you just took my breath away.

-A

Don't start again. You were in control for a few days, Liam.

-Z

So, aside from taking my breath away, what do you do for a living?

-A

Stop it already. My brothers are here. I don't want them to catch me texting you.

-Z

You think they have time for that? Look at them. Zi is busy drooling over Emma. Zahir is in a glaring contest with Emily. They are too busy to poke their nose in our business, honey.

-A

If you say so. And BTW, don't call my brother Zi. That's my pet name for him.

-Z

Babe, he is my future brother in law. I get to call him whatever I want.

-A

Zada blushed seeing that message and Liam grinned seeing her blush.

Make some excuse and come upstairs. I can't wait to have you in my arms.

-A

What?? No way. Are you mad?

-Z

Mad for you baby. *winky face*

-A

Get lost. *eye roll*

-Z

I want to get lost in you darling *heart*

-A

Zada rolled her eyes and Liam puckered his lips imitating a kiss. Zada's eyes widened in shock and she looked at both her brothers to make sure they weren't watching. She sighed in relief, seeing both of them too busy with their respective partners.

"Stop it you two," Emil said, tired of seeing Emily and Zahir glaring at each other for apparently no reason. How the hell they managed to kick up their enmity after fifteen long years is a wonder.

"It's him," Emily said, pointing at Zahir.

"It's her," Zahir said at the same time, pointing at Emily.

"Not again please," Emil groaned.

"Wow. My daughter is born on the same day," They heard Madison say excitedly to Emma.

They have been having an animated conversation for so long. Mostly about The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. Emma and Madison have been drooling over Ian Somerhalder and Joseph Morgan, much to the annoyance of Zian and Michael.

"Wow. Same year too, I guess. I was sent to school a year earlier. That's why I reached college early." Emma said.

"Your mother must have sent you to school unable to tolerate you at home," Zada said teasingly, making Emma huff in annoyance.

"My step mother. I am sure, she was the one who pestered Papa to send me to school at the tender age of three." Emma said grumpily.

"Oh, your real mother?" Madison asked with sympathy.

Emily rolled her eyes at her cousin's dramatics.

"Aunty. Don't waste your sympathies on Emma. Aunt Gianna is her real mother. She is a bit strict. And so, Emma likes to pretend that she is the evil step mom." Emily said, rolling her eyes.

"Haww!" Madison exclaimed in shock and Emma smiled sheepishly.

"You tell me aunty. How can I not be disappointed when she sent me to school at three? And now she is telling that stupid Mila’s parents, not to send her to school this early. That she is a little baby. Mind you, that devil is five years old. Just wait and see, when the little dracula is finally send to school. I will bribe the school bully to bully her everyday. Oh no! Then she would come crying to my home and my momma would pamper her. Like hell I will allow that. Maybe I should bribe someone to tell them that Mila bullied them. Then she would get punishment. Isn't that an awesome idea?" Emma asked, clapping her hands in excitement.

Liam's sister gaped at the girl in front of her.

"Are you, by any chance, born in Sunrise hospital here?" Chloe asked curiously.

"No. I was born in Greenwich. Why?" Emma asked back with a confused frown.

"Oh. I was just wondering if there is any chance that we got exchanged at the hospital." Chloe mumbled under her breath.

"This is so fun. I miss being young and at college." Madison said in a nostalgic voice.

"Yeah. The dinner was awesome, aunty." Emily said with a smile.

"You should all come over often. We can have this get together frequently. Invite Noah too. Whatever issues you guys have with him, sort it out. Poor boy is missing Liam very much." Madison said sadly. She absolutely adores her nephew.

"We never had a problem with him aunty." Zahir said.

"He is a possessive boy. Liam and Noah have been together since they were born. He couldn't accept it when Liam started hanging out with you boys. And I think that stage has passed. Talk to him and sort it out." Madison said gently yet sternly.

"Sure aunty. We never thought about that." Zian said apologetically.

"It's okay. I will get coffee for everyone." Madison said and left to the kitchen, and Michael followed her and left the kids to themselves.

Zian was finally happy to have Emma's attention back to himself.

"Emma, would like to come to Zidra for the upcoming long weekend?" Zian asked something he has been wanting to ask for a while.

"Zidra? I have never been to Zidra before." Emma said excitedly.

"I can show you around. It’s a wonderful place to visit." Zian said, proud of his desert nation.

"Oh I would love to." Emma gushed happily.

Zian smiled happily but frowned seeing the frown on Emma's face.

"What is it?" Zian asked.

"Have to take permission from the Hitler." Emma said, referring to her mother.

"Zada can talk to her. And I will ask my momma to call her too. That would reassure her." Zian said happily.

"Wow. You are a genius Zi - Zi. And you are the best." Emma said and hugged him happily, making Zian redden a bit.

Emil stared at them open mouthed.

"What the hell?"
