7 Priscilla

Kane called her later in the night and told her he was outside the gate. She left her room and met her aunt in the living room "I'm out. Kane is outside."

"Okay dear, have fun but please, try to be back on time."

"Come on aunt, I can take care of myself."

"Olivia!"

"It's Oliver aunt" she smirked "don't worry, I will be back before twelve" she picked up a slice of apple from a plate beside Grace "I gotta hurry, Kane is waiting" she dashed out of the house and Grace looked at the housekeeper worriedly.

"Please tell me I'm not making a wrong decision by letting her model her brother" she kneaded her temple tiredly.

"Since it makes her happy, you are not doing anything wrong. She will come out of it someday when she realizes she doesn't want to be her brother for the rest of her life" Evelyn, the housekeeper said.

"If Mirabelle find out I let her daughter impersonate her late brother, she will kill me and talk about my brother Malcolm."

"I'm sure they will understand. I must admit, at first I thought she was going crazy but seeing how she was getting over her twin's death, I figured it might be something she needed actually."

"Exactly! Which is why I play along with her outside. I really hope she will grow tired of it soon and get to live her own life."

"Well, she has started making friends and with boys, she will fall in love soon and will drop her act so that she can be with her loved one."

"I really hope so and Kane is really a good boy. It will be fine if our families connect by marriage" Grace smiled.

"Mr. Herrington will run back from France to make sure it's a possibility should you tell him."

Grace chuckled, "he would wouldn't he? I know he would have find a way to connect marriage with them if we had a daughter but too bad Kevin is not even interested with their daughter Caroline, if not he would have pushed him to marry her."

"Young master Kevin has always been different. He is not after fame."

"And to add that he always see Caroline as a baby sister, he is twelve years older after all. Well, I won't say I'm not happy for him in his marriage. He and Lisa gave me baby Diamond after all. And to think it's been long I have seen them, guess I need to plan to travel to France soon. I miss my husband and my granddaughter" she smiled happily.

Meanwhile, outside the gate. Olivia walked up to Kane who was standing beside his car "at first, I thought you were going to take forever in there."

"That's my aunty for you. She took her time to remind me that I don't know anywhere here and that I should return early. I had to remind her that I'm going with you" she rolled her eyes.

"Grace can be overprotective at times. I have spent most of my childhood with her, since she is a very good friend to my mother. I have always had the feeling that if she had had a daughter, both of them would have wanted me to marry her. Just like my father and her husband wanted their son Kevin to marry Caroline" he smiled and got in the car while Olivia did the same.

"Really? Uncle Laurent wanted Kevin to marry Caro?" She asked bewildered.

Kane smiled, "yep but Kevin was a already teenager before Caro could speak and so sees her as nothing more than a little sister. His wife Lisa was his classmate, we attended the same school together and let me tell you a secret, I had a crush on Lisa then."

"What!" Olivia laughed and Kane joined.

"What? She is beautiful, intelligent, reeks of feminine beauty. I had always known I don't stand a chance with her, judging by the fact that she was my senior and Kevin was interested in her. I must have you know, I look up at Kevin as an older brother and can't like the same girl he likes. It also doesn't help if the girl sees me as his baby brother and had eyes only for him."

"Aw, Kane found a love but couldn't pursue it because of my cousin?" Olivia joked.

"Hey, I said crush not love okay and besides you can't tell anyone this, I don't even know why I told you. I never told anyone" he grumbled.

Olivia laughed out loud, "don't worry dude, your secret is safe with me. After all you don't even stand a chance anymore, they are married now and have a beautiful baby girl."

"Diamond. I gave her that name you know" he chuckled "Lisa told me they couldn't decide a name and I looked at her and gave her the name immediately. Kevin told me about his uncle in Florida, he said that was how he named his cousins which happened to be twins. A boy and girl, I have always wanted to meet them you know."

Damn, Kevin was the one that named her and Oliver? And Kane has always wanted to meet them? She found it hard to swallow this big news.

"Kevin always bragged about how beautiful his family blood are especially his cousins and he showed me their picture once. They were really identical, I think they should be about four or five years old then. One day I almost traveled to Florida with Kevin to go see them but I got sick at the day and Kevin couldn't reschedule, that's how I never met them."

"Wow, you know about my family line a lot."

"Nah, just the ones Kevin told me" he looked at her and smiled "he hardly mentioned about any other cousins but the twins, I guess it's because he fell in love with them at first sight."

"Yea, I think so. My mother is very strict and overprotective, we don't get to travel a lot. I can count how many times I have seen Kevin or the twins in one hand" she chuckled.

"That answers it" he glanced at her "you know, I never initiate a conversation with anyone before let alone tell a story. You are really bringing out a new side in me."

"Well what will you say? It's my charisma baby."

Kane chuckled, "we are here" at that, he pulled over in the parking lot of a restaurant "this is the best diner in town."

"Really? It doesn't look it" Olivia commented as she stepped out of the car.

"Yes and it's because all these prestigious families don't know about it. You can order anything you want here. It's my favourite spot" he flashed her a smile and they began walking into the restaurant.

They found a table and made themselves comfortable, "wow, this place is deceiving outside!" Olivia exclaimed.

"Isn't it?" Kane chuckled before calling for a waiter and making his order "order what you want. We can go to the night club a few blocks away for that drink I promised you."

"Will they be hot chicks?"

Kane looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "remind me to keep my sister away from you."

Olivia laughed, "oh come on man, Caroline is a beauty."

"And you promised to not go after her last night" he reminded.

"Yea yea, sure" she made her order and the waiter left "is it just me or is people really checking us out?"

"What do you expect? They saw two handsome guys walk in and they couldn't keep their eyes away, especially the women."

"Let them bring it on, I'm kind of interested in a lady's company now."

"You want to get laid?"

"Wow, that's an interesting way to put it but no, I don't wanna get laid."

Kane shrugged, "your call."

Their order arrived not long after and they started eating, "wow, this is good" Olivia commented "this is really good."

"I told you."

"Kane?" A lady's voice was heard and Kane stiffened while Olivia looked behind him to see the lady approaching, she was a striking beauty with blonde hair and iced blue eyes which she contemplated whether was natural or contacts.

"Wow, killer at six o'clock" Olivia commented.

Kane heaved a deep sigh before looking looking back "Priscilla, never figured I will see you here."

"Me neither, how have you been? It's been long" Priscilla said when she was close to them.

"Yep it has been. When did you return?"

"This morning. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your birthday last night."

"It's okay. No big deal nor hard feelings. How have things been with you?"

"Great. I was actually thinking of asking you out but since you are here, how about I join you guys?" She looked at Olivia, "but before then can I ask who your friend is? I don't think I have seen him before."

"This is Oliver, I met him him in my party last night. He is Grace Herrington's nephew."

"Oh, nice meeting you Oliver. I'm Priscilla, Kane's...friend" she smiled.
