Chapter 12_ Heartbeat 2

Racheal was dumbfounded, she was as shocked as the rest of the family, Old Wilson stopped on his tracks and turned to Brian "Brian you brought your girlfriend home, and you didn't bother to introduce her to the family" old Wilson spoke jerking lyra from her seat.

    "Oh no no no no, he isn't my boyfriend ask him, right Brian?" Lyra said glaring at Brian..

  "Grandpa you honestly think I will date this crazy girl?" Brian was flabbergasted.

   Old Wilson shook his head at the two fools exchanging words before he left.

   "Lyra" Racheal called out silently, Aidan massaged his head and gave her a mean look.

   She shuddered back, avoiding his gaze.

   Brian pulled lyra along with him into his room."why do you think so highly of yourself, not every girl is dying to be with you" lyra grumpily stated.

   Brian gasped at her words "you have no idea how many girls are dying to be on my bed, I won't even allow you touch my shoes because you aren't worthy of them" Brian commented nonchalantly.

   Lyra turned red "oh really Mr handsome, whenever I see your face I get reminded of a dying donkey" lyra replied with her hands on her waist.

   Brian couldn't believe this girl was insulting him this way, how dare she ?he is the second hottest guy in their city now, while first place was Aidan and this girl? She is badmouthing him.

   Lyra knew she hit him on that spot, she made a face at him before leaving his room.

   Brian pulled out his tie in anger throwing it across his room, he must teach her a huge lesson.

   He picked up his phone and dialed a number"hey Tim, why don't you take  a year off as a vacation, don't worry it's an order, stop being a cry baby I'll continue sending your monthly payment and bonus, have a nice life" he said before ending the call.

   At the other end Tim, checked the number again to be sure if it was really his boss who called.

    Brian smiled mischievously, he will make sure she regrets everything she just said in the coming year.

   Butler Sam led Racheal to the room she will be staying for a day.

    Racheal was happy, as if they knew what her taste was when decorating the room. She sprayed herself on her princess bed.

   Everything in the room was blue and white, almost the same as her room when she was a child.

   Her thoughts wandered towards the memory lane of she and her parents.

   Today, she was supposed to mourn her dear parents, their death anniversary was fast approaching.

     She heard a knock on the door "come in" she lazily mumbled.

   Lizzy walked in and bounced on the bed beside Racheal."hi" Racheal got up immediately.

    "So did you like the room? My mum and I put in a lot of effort to make it to your taste" Lizzy happily declared.

   "But you really didn't have to, I mean I will only stay for two nights and I'll be gone" Racheal spoke making Lizzy chuckle.

   "You are so cute, you will soon get to stay with us permanently". Lizzy commented."I mean you and my brother" she continued.

   Racheal didn't understand if this girl and her mum got what she said earlier. She could barely look Aidan in the eye.

   Lizzy saw the change of expression in Racheal "look Racheal Aidan might seem scary but he really isn't, if you try to act tough in front of him, he won't be able to scare you, but when you act all gentle and naive, you are bound to get scared by him" Lizzy advices to receive a small nod from Racheal.

   "Do you know who that lady with Brian is?" Lizzy asked innocently.

  "Oh she is my friend lyra you can also call her my sister".

   Racheal and Lizzy talked for a while getting to know each other better.

     Lyra was baffled when the butler told her to share a room with Brian since most of the rooms were occupied.

    Lyra knew this wasn't the case, how can that be? The house was big enough to accommodate everyone present in the building.

   She sighed, who was she to object it's not like she's the mistress of the house.

    'Of all people why me' lyra groaned silently.

   She entered the room and was glad that he wasn't present in the room yet. Since it was getting late, she decided to change into something comfortable not the mini gown she was wearing.

   She opened the closet all she could see was pants and shirts. She really wasn't expecting to stay over if she had known she would have brought extra clothes.

    She randomly picked a shirt and entered the bathroom.

   Brian came in after a while whistling his way in, he sat by the side of the bed taking his shoes off.

  The bathroom door opened startling him. Brian's mouth dropped open at her ordersity. "What are you doing here? And why are you wearing my lucky shirt" Brian was getting frustrated now.

    "You mean this? how unlucky for me" lyra mumbled.

   Brian stared at her from head to toe his shirt stopped just on top of her higher thigh, he could see her nipples pointing out of the shirt.

   He gulped slightly, she tied her hair into a messy bun giving her a sexy look.

   Lyra rolled the sleeves of the blue shirt, she could smell his smoky and woody scent on it.

   Brian knew he would be tortured the whole night.

  "Well there's no room anymore since all your family are present in each of the rooms, I would have gladly gone to Racheal's room but some other girl will be staying with her the whole night".

   She prayed Racheal doesn't have any nightmares.

   "Don't feel all happy about it" lyra added and went to the bed.

   Brian left for the bathroom before he gets more torture.
