Chapter 13: Lunch with Grandparents Part 1

It's quarter to eleven so Seb Jackson and his Grandpa, Sebastian Jackson decided to have lunch in their what they so called, hide out place.

It is only exclusive for business transactions and family meetings. They were silent all along as they arrived at the place.

There is a high gate made of steel and body guards who secured the place. "Seb, did you already told Zachary to come here?" Sebastian Jackson asked his grandson as they went out from the luxurious car.

Seb shook his head. "Not yet, Grandpa." He replied simply. "I'll call him once we get inside." Seb added.

Upon entering the main entrance, they saw Zachary's bodyguards standing in front of his room, much better if it's being called his "office".

"Grandpa, perhaps I don't need to call Zach anymore." Seb looked at the bodyguards. "Let's go." Sebastian replied, gazing at them too.

It would be an important gathering for the three of them. Sebastian Jackson will test their capabilities and personalities for him to choose who will be the heir of his all properties and companies.

He can't inherit it to his son (Seb's Father) and daughter (Zachary's Mother) because they have their own share and properties.

Zachary's bodyguards bowed and said. "Good day, Sir Sebastian. Sir Seb!" They greeted them with a bundle of respect.

Seb and Sebastian shook their heads. "Where is Zachary?" Seb asked prankly. "He's inside with a woman, Sir." One of the bodyguard replied.

He felt something strange in his chest. Woman? It is against the rules and regulations of his Grandpa. They're not allowed to bring a not so important person on their hide out.

Sebastian gaped at Seb and signaled him to open the door. "Zachary, what are you-" Seb Jackson stopped and his eyes widened.

He saw Zachary and Amaya kissing. Of course, he would know that the woman's back is only of Amaya. He knows every part of her, her back, the way she walks and the way she stands. Most especially her shinny hair.

All of them was shocked, especially Seb. Sebastian, looked confusedly at Zachary's unbuttoned polo and a lipstick mark on his face.

Seb Jackson watched Amaya as she lowered her head and acted differently. He saw her wiping her lips with his hand and closed her eyes out of shame.

"Next time, use your hand to knock on the door." Zachary uttered and glared at Seb. They're looking at each other like their eyes are fighting right now.

Seb smiled bitterly and replied. "Next time, use your head before letting someone get inside of here. Right, Grandpa?" Seb sarcastically suggested.

Sebastian gazed at Zachary, disgusted and embarrassed. "We need to talk, Zach!" He paused and turned his gazed upon Amaya. "Who are you, young lady?"

Amaya bowed and answered. "I'm Amaya Robinson, Sir." She replied and try to catch Seb's gaze but she failed.

Sebastian Jackson remembered his crony. They have the same surname but he shrugged and said. "What is your relationship with Zach?" Sebastian added.

Amaya was nervous to answer. She can't find a perfect word. "I'm his..." Amaya stumbled.

"She's my girlfriend, Grandpa. I'm sorry if I'd bring her here without your permission." Zach bowed in front of Sebastian. It's showed his respect for him.

Amaya wanted to clarify it but she felt Zachary's hand on her waist. She couldn't open her mouth to tell the truth and she was carried away.

"Don't make us such a fool, Zach!" Seb told him, laughing. "I'm serious Seb, right babe?" Zach took her hand and Amaya hesitantly nod her head.

"She must be the girl you're telling to me when you were in highschool, isn't she Zach?" Sebastian smiled at Amaya.

"Yes Grandpa." Zachary replied, smiling mischievously.

Amaya took a deep breath. She doesn't even know what's happening. "It's my pleasure meeting you Sir, but I need to go."

Seb deserves a better and clear explanation from her. But he can't pull Amaya and kiss like he owns her. He only see Amaya as a prostitute, a slave and as one of his woman but why he felt mad so sudden.

"I'm glad seeing my grandson's girlfriend. But, I would be glad if you will stay and have lunch with us."Sebastian said. He knows that the woman will not reject his offer. Seeing Amaya for the first time makes him energetic and he likes her.

Amaya smiled confusedly. "I can't..." Amaya stumbled. "I can't say no to your offer, Sir." Amaya uttered.

Sebastian smiled genuinely and his staff ordered the maids to prepare delicious foods and his favourite sea foods.

"The meeting was being cancelled because of this two. How ironic!" Seb Jackson whispered.

"I'm craving now for scallops,crabs and bouillabaisse too!" Sebastian said, seating beside of the driver, Seb Jackson and on the passenger seat the two lovers, Amaya and Zachary.

Seb nodded and smiled at his Grandpa and drove off. Seb was annoyed seeing Amaya seating next to Zachary from the mirror.

"Seb, eyes on the road." Seb startled and came back to the reality and focus on the road.

He was about to hit the car before them. Good thing that his Grandpa's eyes are still in a good condition.

He looked again on the mirror and he saw Amaya leaned on the window. He secretly smiled knowing that Amaya is not talking with his cousin, Zachary.

They arrived at Sebastian's mansion and straightly went to the living room. Rebecca Jackson, their Grandma welcomed them.

"Oh! How I missed my little handsome grandsons." Rebecca kissed the two man on the cheeks and turned her gaze at Amaya who's standing in the middle of the boys. "Ohh! And this gorgeous and sexy young lady, you must be Seb's girlfriend. Right?" He kissed Amaya on the cheeks and smiled.

"Honey, she's Zachary's girlfriend." Sebastian whispered. Rebecca covered her mouth and rolled her eyes. "I like her for Seb, Honey! They look so perfectly together." Rebecca told her husband.

Zachary cleared his throat and said. "Grandma, she's mine. For sure, Seb have a girlfriend too." Zachary butt in.

"Don't worry Grandma, that woman is not my type." Seb added, lying.

Rebecca shrugged her shoulders and walked to the living room. "Let's talk inside, come here young woman!"

Rebecca hold Amaya's hand and let the boys follows them.

Sebastian seated, in front of him was his wife. Zachary sat besides Amaya and Seb seated in front of her.

Foods was already served and Rebecca leads the prayer. As they finished, she gives the bowl of vegetables salad to Amaya.

"Thank you, Ma'am!" Amaya replied and get some of it.

"From now on, call me Grandma and I'll call you-?" Rebecca raised her eyebrows waiting for Amaya to respond. "Amaya. Amaya Robinson Ma'am! I mean, Grandma." Amaya replied.

"Seb and Zach, you should try this." Rebecca put a new discovered dish by herself in Instagram. They tasted it and Seb loves it.

"This is called "Bagoong", from the Philippines." It looks like a small shrimps and saute with tomatoes and other ingredients.

"I loved it, Grandma!" Seb told his Grandma and add a little bit of Bagoong on his plate.

"Good to hear that from you, Seb." Rebecca simply replied.

"Amaya, can you tell us about yourself?" Sebastian told her, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

Amaya gulps and looked at Seb. She needs help but she put back the fork and knife.

"Well, I'm with my mother since I was five and currently, I'm taking up Nursing." Amaya replied, without being stumble and or afraid. "After that, I want to pursue cardiology." Amaya added.

"Wow! You're amazing Amaya, it's rare for a woman like you , to wish to become a cardiologist!" Rebecca told her while her eyes are twinkling because of amusement.

"Grandma, Grandpa, if you don't mind Amaya is very intelligent back then. She's always on the top and no one can ever beat her, even me." Zachary smiled bitterly and trying to convince his family that Amaya is an ideal woman.

"It seems like your girlfriend good at everything, Zach." Seb told them. But if you analyze his statement, it has another meaning.

Amaya wiped her mouth and she secretly kick Seb's shoes. She sharply gazed at him, like she wants him to shut the hell up.

Zachary puts a garlic pepper crab on her plate. Well, it's a normal thing for a lovers. But Seb disgustedly shook his head and made a face that only Amaya can see.

"Look, honey! Our Zachary is too sweet." Rebecca giggles.

It was a memorable lunch for them. Except Seb Jackson, who's annoyed looking Amaya with someone else.
