In a slow and calculated manner, Mia approached Raven and plugged in the blow dryer.
"My dearest love, would you mind helping me blow dry my hair for me?" Mia asked, her voice laced with a trace of desire.
Raven nodded, taking the hair dryer from her and blowing dry her hair.
But the thoughts in his head drifted to some place else…
While he was working on her hair, she had closed her eyes and her face had a relaxed expression.
Raven, with a gentle hand, moved the hair dryer closer to Mia's neck, and as the warm air hit her skin, she let out a soft moan, feeling a pleasant shiver down her spine.
Raven felt his blood flow increase every second as he traced her hair with his hands.
As Raven leaned in towards Mia, he gently placed a kiss on her neck, causing her to gasp in pleasure and her heart rate to quicken.
They both looked at their reflection in the mirror, their eyes locked, and Raven could not restrain himself any longer.
As soon as he finished using the hair dryer, he put it down and pulled Mia close to him, embracing her tightly and kissing her deeply.
The passion between them continued to grow as Mia's arms found their way around his neck, and she melted into his embrace, savouring every moment of their kiss.
Following their intense embrace, they finally broke apart, both of them gasping for breath.
With a gaze filled with longing, Raven looked down at Mia, who stood before him.
"I love you," he whispered, his voice rough with emotion.
With a smile on her face, Mia looked up at him and her eyes were filled with happiness.
"I love you too."
After spending a few more minutes finishing their nightly routines, the two finally completed their preparations for bed and then climbed under the covers.
"Night love." Raven murmured, kissing Mia's forehead.
"Good night." Mia replied, cuddling up against his side.
When the sun rose the next day, Raven and Mia were awakened by the pleasant sound of birds chirping just outside their window.
As the morning sun rose higher in the sky, its warm rays filtered through the thin curtains, casting a soft and comforting glow throughout the room.
Raven found it difficult to focus on getting ready for the day because of the lingering thoughts from the previous day regarding their brother and the potential pregnancy.
After much contemplation, he made the decision that it was the time to confront him and get the answers he sought.
Raven and Mia descended the grand staircase that led to the hotel lobby, their eyes scanning the area.
Eventually, they spotted Will, who was sitting on a couch, his attention solely on his phone.
Approaching him cautiously, Raven cleared his throat to get his attention.
Will looked up, surprised to see his younger siblings standing in front of him.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" Will asked, putting his phone aside.
"We saw you yesterday," Mia blurted out, unable to contain her excitement.
Will raised an eyebrow, confused. "What do you mean?"
"We saw you with that girl," Raven chimed in, his voice steady.
Understanding flashed in Will's eyes as he realised what they were referring to.
He sighed and motioned for them to sit down.
"I guess there's no point in hiding it anymore," Will said, a hint of happiness in his voice.
"Yes, I am dating her. Her name is Lisa."
Raven and Mia exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the confirmation of their suspicions.
"How long have you been together?" Raven asked
Will didn't hesitate and blurted out, "three months."
Mia's eyes lit up hearing this.
"Wouldn't this mean you two got together in the same month as me and Raven?"
Will nodded.
Raven ignored this and asked another question.
"That… how far have you two progressed?"
Raven knew he shouldn't ask this question, but the fact that she could be pregnant around this time got him curious.
Will coughed hearing his question.
"Umm, no comment."
Mia's expression turned to one of disappointment upon hearing his response, which Raven interpreted as a sign that they should have made it to third base.
Raven opted not to ask any more questions and simply congratulated his brother.
He patiently waited for their mother to descend the stairs so that they could all venture out for a delightful breakfast together.
Five minutes would pass until their mother came downstairs.
"Alright, let's get some food."
Raven, Mia, and Will followed her out of the hotel.
"Where would you like to go?" Their mother asked.
"I heard there is a place nearby that is good. Why don't we eat there?" Raven said.
The Cafe is close to where they are now and it's a walkable distance so no need to spend all that time on parking.
Everyone agreed with Raven's suggestion. They all didn't want to take the car everywhere.
As Raven, Mia, Will, and their mother walked towards the Cafe, they admired the charming streets and the lively atmosphere of the city.
The sun was shining, casting a warm glow on their faces.
The aroma of freshly baked pastries filled the air as they approached the Cafe.
They entered the bustling cafe, greeted by the inviting scent of coffee and the sight of beautifully arranged pastries in the display case.
The four of them found a cosy table near a large window, allowing them to enjoy the view of the bustling street outside.
A friendly waitress approached their table, ready to take their orders.
Raven's eyes scanned the menu, filled with a variety of breakfast options.
But the rest of the family sat there looking at the menu, not understanding what any of it said.
Raven noticed nothing strange when he looked at the menu.
It was like everything was automatically translated into English for him, making him ignore the fact the menu was in French.
He decided on a classic French omelette and also chose a fluffy croissant with a side of fruit for Mia.
But when Raven spoke, the waiter looked at him with confusion.
"Erm, Raven. Everything is in French." Mia said with an embarrassed smile.
Raven was stunned and looked back down at the menu and realised his oversight.
He coughs In embarrassment
This time, he looked at the waiter and spoke in French.
"Je vais prendre une omelette francaise classique et un croissant moelleux accompagnes de fruits pour cette jeune dame."
Translation: I will take a classic French omelette and a fluffy croissant with a side of fruit for that young lady.
The waiter looked at Raven in surprise at his fluent French.
Mia and others also look at Raven in surprise, not knowing he could speak French at all.
"What do you guys want?" Raven looked at them and asked.
"I've already ordered for Mia." He spoke again, looking at Mia
Their mother looked down at the menu and could slightly translate it.
She pointed at the item she wished to have and the waiter wrote it down.
Will, who was silent the whole time, also spoke in French to order his meal.
Once the waiter left, all eyes shifted to Will.
"Hey, when did you also learn French?" Mia asked, not forgetting to look at Raven.
A smile graced Will's face as he blushed in embarrassment.
"Well, my girlfriend speaks French, so I learned some from her."
Mia nodded, but looked at her mother, noticing that she wasn't surprised to hear the name Lora.
"Mom, why don't you seem surprised?"
Their mother looked at their daughter in confusion.
"Surprised? What is there to be surprised about?"
Mia looked at her mother stupidly.
"Didn't you hear him say that he had a girlfriend?"
Their mother nodded
"But you said yesterday that you didn't know he had one and now he admitted it!"
"Oh, I lied."
Just when Mia was about to open her mouth to continue the argument, the waiter brought the food to the table.
Mia could only hold her breath and eat.
As they ate, the warm morning sun streamed in through the window, filling the room with light.
