Chapter 10
" Ooh Jason. Sorry I kept you guys waiting for long. I kind of met uuhmmm...." Julie said reffering to Sebastian only to remember that she didn't even know his name. "I mean him." She pointed at Sebastian who was now looking at her mischievousluly. "I met him and I guess our interaction made me loose track of time. Sorry about that." She apologized again looking at the how angry he seemed to be. The look he gave Sebastian wasn't pleasant either.
"Alright. Can we please now go. The rest have been waiting for long." Jason said grumpily not even acknowledging Sebastian. He just wanted to pull her away from him. He seemed as if he was jealous over something that Julie couldn't place a finger on.
"Yeah sure. Let's go." She said nodding and then stepped away from Sebastian. "Goodbye Mr. Hot Stuff." She whispered to his ear as she passed him but Jason heard her and and looked at her angrily while Sebastian just smiled goofily watching her as she left with Jason. That day had to be the best day of his life and he definitely had to tell his mom about it. The very dream was coming true and he knew they had all waited for such news for a long time. Seven years of waiting wasn't a joke. Hurriedly he rushed to his room where the attendants had already taken his luggage so he could pass the information to them.
"Hey mom. I found her. The Black Pearl. Tell dad and Grandma"
Sebastian typed the message and hit the sent button immediately he sat down in his room. He couldn't hide the excitement he was feeling at that moment and immediately he even went down oh his knees to thank God for keeping to His promise as He had always done. Truly God was a faithful God and He was a promise keeper. He couldn't be more thankful.
"Did I just hear you call him Hot Stuff?" Jason asked Julie in an annyed tone the moment they stepped into the elevator.
"Well I uuhhh..." Julie tried to defend herself but realized she didn't have anything to defend herself with. She had called him Hot Stuff thinking that Jason hadn't heard her but by the look of things he had heard her and was now oozing with jealousy in his voice. Goodness she had even forgot that he and her was supposed to be dating. No wonder he sounded annoyed and it definitely justified the angry face he had back there.
"You were what Julie? Calling another man Hot Stuff infront of your boyfriend?" Jason sounded angry indeed.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I just didn't know his name. So I kinda called him that. I didn't mean to offend you in anyway." Julie apologized trying to calm him down. She knew he had every right to be angry at her. It was like she was flirting infront of him and that wasn't fair at all.
"So the only name that came out of your tongue was Hot Stuff, Haha. Great Julie. Really great." Jason said while laughing sarcastically, shaking his head before realizing something he hadn't noticed. "And oh, wait a minute. Isn't this his Tshirt? You are even wearing his Tshirt, Julie. At what exact time did you actually change into his t-shirt?" Jason asked sounding more angry than he was a minute ago. He siezed her up and down then shook his head unbelievably.
" It's not his Tshirt Jason. What makes you think it's his? I couldn't have changed into a Tshirt of a man I just met a few mins ago." Julie decided to lie knowing she was in deep trouble. How was she even going to explain the whole situation to him? She was already risking the relationship they had just started to work on. How dissapointing.
" Don't dare lie to me Julie. We saw that guy and his company enter the hotel while we were waiting for you to come down and he was dressed in this exact t-shirt you are wearing. And to prove to you that you are a terrible liar, I saw him shirtless. Don't think I didn't notice he was only wearing his leather jacket with nothing inside when I found you two flirting with each other. I am so dissapointed in you" Jason spat with pure anger spewing in his voice. He was truly disappointed in her. To imagine that she was even going to lie to him that she wasn't wearing his t-shirt while it was so obvious even made him more angry. In that minute there was a ding sound in the elevator as it's door opened meaning it was on ground floor and immediately Jason bolted out leaving Julie shocked at how she couldn't even manage to lie for a second. She was truly a terrible liar.
"Jason. Wait, I can explain." Julie kind of shouted while running after him across the lounge, heading outside where the car was waiting for them. Jason however kept walking angrily not giving her a chance to catch up with him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wait, did you guys realize Sebby is no longer at the reception. That fool has ditched us and sorted himself out." Seth who had been sitting at the lobby waiting for Sebastian to sign them in suddenly realized that he was no longer at the reception.
But before the others could reply, Julie's shouting voice attracted their attention and everyone who was at the lobby.
"Are you guys seeing what am seeing?" Seth asked his companions as he looked at Julie who was running after Jason.
"Of course. Isn't it obvious? A girl chasing after a man. Probably his boyfriend and seemingly there's trouble in paradise." Sam answered him chuckling also watching Jason walked hurriedly not giving Julie a chance to talk to him.
"Actually apart from that. I'm also seeing something else. She's wearing Sebastian's t-shirt. Isn't that weird?" Audrey commented in awe while the Seth and Sam tried to look at what she was talking about.
"Come on baby. Clothes could be the same. It can't be Sebby's t-shirt. How is that even possible?" Seth reasoned out knowing that clothes could look alike.
"I think Audrey might actually be right bro. Have you seen the logo on that t-shirt? It's the Parker's logo. Look at the words written below the logo. Only a Parker can be having such a t-shirt and we all know Seb was wearing the Parker's t-shirt today." Sam said and Seth who hadn't noticed anything about the logo was now looking carefully at it. And truly, he was looking at the very logo that symbolized his lineage. A huge letter P that had wings on both sides which looked like an open book with a watch drawn between the pages. Under the logo was written 'The Parker's' in bold. After seeing that Seth was rest assured that truly the t-shirt belonged to Sebastian.
"Oh damn. You guys are literally right. But how did Sebby give her his t-shirt? I'm sure it didn't happen just like that." Seth said smirking, starting to have crazy ideas in his mind.
"That's not so like Seb." Sam commented putting off Seth's crazy ideas that he was starting to have.
"But as you can see, the lady was chasing after a guy who supposedly is her boyfriend telling him that she can explain. Mark you, it seems Sebastian has been gone for long but we didn't actually realize that he was. So don't you think something might have happened somewhere in between? " Audrey tried to reason out with them.
" You could be right. I guess we have to look for Sebby so we can find answers. Come on let's ask in the reception where he might have gone. " Seth said pulling Audrey with him and Sam tagged along too.
" Hello there miss. My brother was here to check us in but we kind of didn't see where he went after he came here. He is Sebastian Parker. I believe he told you his name. " He explained to to the receptionist.
"Ooh, you are The Parker's! You guys are very welcome." The receptionist said sounding excited which caught Seth and the others by surprise. She sounded as if she knew them so well. " The boss had already been led to his room at the vvip rooms at the 4th floor. He said I should get someone lead you to your rooms up there when you guys will be done resting at the lobby." The receptionist explained to them already standing so she could get someone to lead them to their rooms but somehow she was confusing them.
" The boss? " The three of them asked her at the same time sounding confused. They were definitely not asking for the boss of that place but for Sebastian. Looks like the receptionist wasn't getting them at all.
"Yes the boss. I mean your brother, Mr. Sebastian Parker. And follow me please. Let me find you someone over there who will guide you to your rooms. Your luggage has already been taken care of" She explained patiently to them then lead them to a lady who was coming towards them.
"Sure." Is all the could say wondering how in the world Sebastian was the boss of that exquisite hotel. Not that he didn't own other five star hotels around the world, but owning one that they didn't know and not even named Parker hotel or something? It must have been a joke. No wonder he had agreed they come to the hotel before he could even look at it in the internet. He knew it and he definitely had some answers to provide to them.
