what an A list actor

everyone looked at his direction.

Romeo:...

just say it ok? Ryan thought. "wait, what is going on here, you guys are actually planning on snatching my girlfriend. in my presence I'm still here ok?" Ryan said. everyone turned to the direction of Ryan. **cough, **cough Raymond faked a cough. they all turned back to Raymond.

Raymond tried to change the conversation and said "it's late, won't you go home. your mum should be waiting for you or don't you have a mum?" in a peaceful tone. I'm really mad right now I haven't even used up to an hour but you are already chasing me. "I do have a mum but your childhood sweetheart doesn't." Ryan replied. baby gasped at his response. Raymond is surely going to tear me into pieces. but he started it right? It'd be better if I go home. "what did you just say?" Raymond asked. there was tension in the dining room. "he said that your childhood sweetheart doesn't have a mother." Callum replied. baby rolled his eyes must you always complicate things?

"mnn" Raymond nodded and continued to eat his food.

just that? is he going to kill me later when I'm asleep? that isn't an option, I don't even think he knows my house. but isn't Raymond a little scary at least show some reactions, scold me just don't keep quiet. baby looked at Ryan and smiled that is Raymond for you. he won't reply, instead of bickering with you, he'd just pretend you don't exist. that was why I actually found it weird when he's always arguing with the Luciana girl.

the dining room was silent till the end of the meal. Raymond dropped his spoon and stood up. "Callum and Romeo wash the dishes." he said. "I'm not washing anything today, I've been doing that since I arrived can you spare me a little? I didn't come back to take the job of a dish washer." Callum replied.

baby's face twitched, just don't call my name, I'm not interested in washing those dishes.

"baby and Raymond are washing those dishes to dishes tonight, there's nothing you guys would do about it." Romeo replied.

what the actual fuck! baby screamed in his mind. who am I? I'm the leader of over thousands of mobs.

"I don't know how to wash it" baby replied.

Romeo also nodded and said "a nobleman shouldn't be in the kitchen." Ryan propped his head with his hands and watched the drama that was about to unfold. "oh so we aren't noble enough to stay away from the kitchen." Romeo exclaimed. of course you aren't! who's my boss? why would he wash these dishes huh? do you know that most of those powerful people out there pay tributes to him? heh ignorant teenagers. I'd better make myself less noticable, I also hate wasn't plates. "since baby can't wash, Raymond would wash and baby would rinse." Callum said.

what's the difference huh! I don't want to do any ok? mummy come and save me from these people, I'm wrong I should have allowed that maid you sent here to stay waah! baby sobbed internally. Ryan hit his hands on the table and exclaimed "what on earth is wrong with you guys huh? what century are we that you are still arguing about whom to wash the dishes. you can get a dish washer ok? just order it with Dana's phone." they all started at him like they were staring at him like he's a god with golden lights emanating from him. "wait what! why is it my phone? don't tell me I'm paying?" baby asked. "I ran away from so.. I don't get any allowance." Raymond said. baby nodded and looked at Romeo "my father called me unfilial because refused to befriend a business partner's daughter. he collected my debit cards and even froze my bank account." Romeo said sadly. baby looked at Callum, what's your excuse this time. Callum sighed and started "you all know my story right, I had a big fight at our family gathering, I insulted every elder present. I told them that they are a piece of shit, my father wanted to scold me so I also called him a piece of shit. he then screamed bastard! I don't have someone as useless as you as a son, all you bring to our family is disaster, what an ominous son." Ryan passed him a tissues really touching! "thanks." Callum said and wiped the tears that stained his face. baby gritted his teeth, fake tears, fake emotions, I almost believed the story! didn't you just diss those elders and broke ties with your family. when did your father call you ominous. Callum gave another heartbreaking sigh and continued "I was really broken, my own father thought I was a jinx. I looked at my mother full of hope but what I saw on her face was disappointment and regrets. she regretted giving birth to me. then my father broke ties with me. he said I have nothing to do with our family. that's why my surname is noname. noname Callum. my father kicked me out of the house with no money, no clothes, no food. I almost turned into a street dog when I encountered Raymond's who also ran away from him. then we lived our lives on the street supporting each other, we fight for food, a place to sleep." he stopped and drank water then continued. "Then one day, an angel came to us with the sweetest smile and took us to her villa. she cried and called us naughty, she prepared a table full of food. tears were in my eyes when I ate it. then a boy asked for the reason behind my tears he said don't you like the food? don't cry mummy would prepare a better one for dinner. you can tell her what you want to eat then. then his mother said Dana, he isn't crying because he doesn't like the food but because he loves it. she showed us our rooms, she gave us warm blankets. nice toys and a home. but I went overseas after their debut, this is the end of my story." he said and sobbed. Romeo patted his back "you've suffered." Ryan also shook his head, so this is the history of the four legendary friends. they are all broke. this is the first time I'd meet broke people like them. baby glared at Callum what an A list actor. "if I can remember clearly, my mum takes you two as her son." baby said. Raymond and Callum nodded. "she also gives you the same monthly allowance she gives me. where did those money go? my dad froze my account so.. I wasn't able to spend those money she sent to me but what about yours?" baby asked.

Ryan raised his brows. so they aren't broke at all, the only person that can be classified as broke is Romeo because he doesn't collect any money from mama Wang. Raymond scratched his head. "even if you've spent the allowance, what about your salary? don't tell me they didn't pay you because I've received mine." he said staring at Rome and Raymond. "and you Callum, how much did they pay you for the series you acted before coming. I think it should be $75,000 per episode. I also heard that the series has 40 episodes. should I do the calculation?. oh I also remember you saying that you charged half of the amount you usually collect because it was a low budget series."

oh my! I take back my words, you guys aren't broke at all. the three of them had awkward smiles on their faces. baby stood up and said "I'd order the dish washer and I'd pay for it. the stuffs my mum brought the last time was five portions right? give Ryan his portion. it's getting late goodnight." and marched towards his room.

Ryan opened the bag Raymond dumped in his hand. why is it this heavy? chocolates, cookies, pyjamas, flip flops, toothbrush, notebooks, shirts, shorts, sneakers... this are all my daily needs. he zipped the bag and carried it and left
