***ELEVEN***

 I had nothing to do at home, so i toured my neighborhood to get familiar with the place. I saw a small bakery called Heaven, excited to know what they make i entered the bakery. I was greeted with the sweet aroma of cake and baked bread filling my senses, It was slightly sweet scent that somehow smelt warm, like I was inhaling a blanket of cupcakes on a cold winter day. 

There were only few people sitting at the table, eating cake and sipping their drinks. I walked to counter and met a guy with a Chestnut brown hair and blue eyes. He looks cute but I couldn't help comparing him to Giovanni.

Definitely don't know where that came from.

" Hi, can i have a vanilla creamy cheesecake and a icetea." I said politely. 

" Hi too you, take a sit and i will be right there with your order". He smiled ".

It wasn't up to 30seconds before  he came with my order.

" Here is your order beautiful." He said smiling warmly at me 

" Thanks" I said.

" I'm Andrew" 

" Royalty" I replied as I toke a taste of the cake and I was marvelled. " This is good, like really good" I complimented.

" Thank you, you're always welcome to come here" he said as he went back to the counter to receive orders from other customers. When I was done eating I went over to pay.

" This is on the house, since you are a new face" he said not accepting the money, I. Tried convincing him to take the money but failed miserably.

" Thank you so much " I said,  we said our goodbyes and I walked out of the bakery. I called Alfred to come pick me up.

 It wasn't up to a minute before I saw Alfred driving towards my direction and did I fail to mention that it was a Lamborghini.

" Good day ma" Alfred said as he came out of the car to open the door for me.

" Good day Alfred.just call me Royalty or Roy instead" I said as I didn't feel comfortable with him calling me ma since we are almost the same age

" I will Roy" he said with a smile on his face " where to Roy" 

" My parents house" 

It's been long since I saw them and I missed them. I know the company is doing well now because Giovanni told me.

An hour later, we were driving through the gate of the house I grew up in. I had always asked my parent why they spent so much building such a big house but as usual my dad had to live up to his status.

A status I had aways hated.

I knocked on the door and one of the house keeper opened the door and told me my dad was at his office and my mum was at the library. She always did that when she wants to while away time.

I walked upstairs towards my dad office and knocked softly until he gave me instruction to come inside. I was welcomed with the view of my brother and dad having a discussion about the company. Immediately they saw me, their face broke into a wide grin and before I could think twice, I ran towards my dad side giving him a hug as tears rolled down my face as I turned to my brother to give him a bone crushing hug as he placed a kiss at the top of my head.

I have really missed them a lot.

" How are you doing sweetheart" my dad asked as I  settled down at one of the office chair.

" I have been great, what about you, mum and Richard" I asked with a small laugh.

" We have been good dear, but I miss seeing you around here." My dad said 

" Yeah Roy, we all missed your drama, your prank and childishness" my brother said with a teasing tone.

" I'm not childish" I scoff in disbelief.

" Yes you are" Richard answered back talking in a baby voice.

" Please! you're one to talk ant- man" I said with a smirk on my face.

My dad at this point was having a full blown laughter at our bicker and my brother face was a shade of red at the nick name. 

" I can't believe you're still calling me that, drama queen" he chuckled at the nickname. I stick my tongue out to him in a childish manner as we stated making silly faces at each other. I have really missed this.

" I have missed you so much Roy" my dad said " the house is kind of quiet without you around" 

" Of course, i am one of a kind" I answered in a playful sass as we all burst out laughing.

My brother was about to say something when the sound of the door opening interrupted us.

" Do you  need me to prepare lunch for you " my mum entered not looking up as she was staring at her phone " the only thing the  two of you do all day is work and work and work, like I don..." She falters as she finally raised her head up to look in my direction in shock.

And they call me the dramatic one. 

I stood up to walk towards her, pulling her into a hug.

" Oh my gosh, Roy " she squealed excited, with the way she was acting one would think we hadn't seen each other in years instead of in a weeks.

" Mum, always so energetic" I said playfully

" Why didn't you tell me you were coming, we have much catching up to do. How is married life?. Hope he is treating you well?. Did anything exciting happen" she asked in one breath as I blushed a little at her last question as she wiggle her eyes in a suggestive manner" 

" Take it easy mum " my brother said as he and my dad laugh softly.

" Come on mum, one question at a time" I scolded, amusement sip from my voice as she pout " and to answer your questions, everything is fine. Something exciting Happened but not in the way your thinking" I told her.

" Well, tell me all about it as we prepare lunch, let's leave these boring men" she said as she threw my dad and brother a stink eyes dragging me out of the door as my brother and dad laugh at my mum's behavior.

We made lunch together as my mom and I filled each other up on things we have missed and I asked her why they didn't tell me about Alexander in which she explained, saying it wasn't her secret to tell and that Giovanni wanted to be the one to tell me, which I completely understand. After lunch I spent a little bit of time with my family before going home.
