61 Ditching the sister, when it comes to food

Samantha opened her eyes groggily, stifling a yawn she sat up. She found herself on the couch in the living room, it was then that she realised that she actually fell asleep while chatting the previous night. It was already noon by the time she woke up. She was unexpectedly wrapped in a blanket and a pillow was placed under her head.

"Awake?"

She turned her head towards the source of the sound.

Zach walked towards her holding a tray in his hands. He placed the tray on the coffee table and passed her a glass "Here, drink some warm water first" Samantha took the glass and finished the water in a go. Zach then handed her the coffee mug, saying "I don't exactly know how to brew coffee"

Samantha took a sip before saying "It's nice"

She noticed his undereyes looked a little dark. She then asked with concern "You didn't sleep?"

"Offcourse I slept. I only woke up half an hour ago" He lied through his teeth, he didn't sleep a blink the whole night. But he won't admit iit though.

Obviously, Samantha had seen through him, but she chose not to expose him.

"You must be hungry, I'll go and quickly prepare lunch for you" After finishing her coffee, she went to the kitchen.

Zach also strolled behind, intending to help her out.

But who knew, she didn't leave any work for him to do. She was like an experienced chef, really fast and with a great technique.

"You know how to cook?" Zach was astonished to know that

"Yeah" Samantha nodded cheerfully "Brother once you'll taste it, you'll lick of your fingers clean" she proudly proclaimed, grinning from ear to ear.

Zach laughed heartily, hearing her cheerful voice. The voidness in his soul was finally healed, he felt very content right then.

On the lunch table,

"Umm...this is really..." Zach moaned, savouring the deliciousness of the food. He couldn't find the right words​ to compliment her cooking or more accurately he didn't want to waste his time on complimenting, he can simply do so after eating.

Wow what a devoted foodie, ditching his baby sister in the face of food

"Where did you learn cooking from?" asked Zach.

After licking the plates clean, you finally remembered your sister. Hmmph!!!

Samantha glared at him. Zach chuckled noticing her glare.

"I don't know" she pouted

Zach pinched her cheeks teasingly, he opened his mouth to say something but got disturbed by a loud ringing of mobile phone. Samantha grabbed her phone and placed it by her ear "Hello?"

"Mia I'll be there in an hour" Isabella spoke through the other side

It took a few seconds for Samantha to realise what Isabella was talking about "Alright" she nodded hanging up the phone

"Brother, are you going on the cruise" she asked Zach while scrubbing the dishes clean.

"Yeah...you are coming too?" asked Zach

"Yup, Bella wants me to go" she nodded, wiping the bowls.

He helped her wipe the cutleries and placed them into the cupboards. He then turned to her and said "I'll go and get ready then I'll pick you up"

"No brother... I'll go with Bella" she waved her hands

"Alright" Zach hugged her and patted her head before he left.

There wasn't much time, so she rushed to the bathroom to shower.

Samantha walked out of the condominium building dragging a small suitcase with her. She soon spotted a man waving at her, standing near a black Rolls Royce. She walked up to the car, the chauffeur hurriedly took her luggage and placed it in the boot.

"Bella" she greeted Isabella with a smile

"Mia darling" Isabella​ shouted and hugged her tightly.

"...." she was hugged to the point she can't breathe. She struggled out of her hug and pushed her away gently.

It took less than an hour to reach their destination, Samantha got down from the car followed by Isabella. When she looked up, she could see the large, luxurious ship docked by the riverside far in the distance. It leaned closed to the dock and was embraced by the dazzling fireworks. A carpet was rolled out past the deck from inside the ship. The dock was being surrounded by many fans of artists and many reporters, who were present to cover the scene.

The colourful fireworks were set off​ high in the night sky followed by enthusiastic sounds and shrieks. It was too lively.

The security personnels present outside took their luggages​.

Underneath the interweaving spotlight, Samantha made her way to the red carpet slowly with Isabella by her side, as delighted cheers could be heard from time to time behind them.

Samantha got really confused, she wasn't a celebrity neither was Isabella, then why​ the f-uck people were cheering

But the cheering didn't stop instead it got even louder.
