Seven admirers

Returning home ..with personal guards?

You wake up , as the birds chirp too loudly, and notice the sun already up in the sky . You knew it that you woke up late . Most of the things seemed blurred and your head ached . You gasped and looked out of the window . You were tired and a little breathless.
You climbed  down the stairs & a mixture of smells, completely lured  you, walked to the kitchen , like a zombie, and saw Amber baking something, which smelled cinnamon buns, to you.
"Are you baking buns..?" water dripped from your mouth
"Yes, breakfast, Brush , bathe & come " he winked  "and i'm packing five of them in this basket. "
"Are you going anywhere?" you asked him, holding his apron.
"Nowhere. Just you, to your home" he said patting you on your head
"Oh.." you missed home but preferred to stay here rather staying in home with your crazy drunk sister. and didn't want to go outside, and mostly to the school, where nasty rumors spread faster than virus.
You couldn't say you didn't want to leave , so just looked upset

holding on to  his apron even tighter .
He gently swept your hair bangs aside and said "You can come in your weekends . You have your own life, right?"
"You're too kind..." you muttered and pouted
He giggled "Now You're making the same face like you did yesterday when you were drunk."
"huh..what!?!? me , drunk, no way!!!" you babbled
"You must have drunk something from the party. " he said
"What...But..wasn't that cocktail??"  
"Well some cocktails are mixed with wine , you see. the non alcoholic are mocktails....
"I'm such a fool.." you regretted .
"Now , don't feel down, hurry up and brush and bathe, the maid can show you the way" he cheered

You were going towards the baths with a Maid wearing a formal large skirt with no frills . "So Madame, Which Master do you choose" she said , grinning awkwardly .
You felt insecure and didn't reply her. You liked all of the guys except the blue haired psychopath,Axel,  who tried to harass you. What a terror was that day you thought.
You bumped into a veryyy familiar guy, and you muttered "think of the devil...."
He was busy on his phone not even looking at you, but you were giving him death glares. "Madame....What's the matter?" the maid looked frightened .
He finally gave a glance & looked at the maid and asked "who is she?"  
"....." you lost your patience , you grabbed Axel by his tie and screamed "Who is she??? What the hell is wrong with you. first you harass & then pretend like a good guy??" you grind your teeth

"Sorry, I dont remember you...: those words made you somehow feel bad, as he , maybe behaved bad but was caring like a mother.
You cried some tears, and let him go. Seeing you cry, he looked a little worried but he scratched his head & moved to the hallway.
You ran to the bath rooms and while bathing you were lost in your thoughts. You were sure he was NOT pretending.

Even though you were very angry on him, His face didn't look like he was lying. Baffled, You ran across the Hallway, Stomping on the ground.
You hear few maids gathered near the Sore room, gossiping. You get into the crowd and ask them "Can anyone tell me about, The Blue haired Guy , Uh you must be knowing right, about whom i'm talking about?"
There was a moment of silence , then a maid spoke out "Are you , Madame, Talking about Master Axel?l"
"Yes , Yes, that's him. Is he some kind of fraud or something. Like, how many girls have you seen him playing with?" You ask boldly but feel ashamed of what you asked later.
The maid looked at you like you've lost your mind "Ofcourse , not ! He is a very loyal and strict person who would never care about any girl or would bother to play with someone's heart! But maybe there is a reason he might have done that to you, as you, madame, are worth of billions!" she said dramatically
Another maid spoke out as well , placing her hand on her chin "Yes, As Madame Violet, Is a gift of only one of them. "
"I am so surprised you didn't know , young lady!" a rather old maid said "You must be knowing about the system of finding a bride, don't you?"

"No I don't .Or maybe I probably do... Anyway! It is painful to see him change within a day. He now says he doesn't know me , but back then he met me and even.." you stopped there
The maids looked at each other, sadly & almost went on tears. The old lady sniffed "Poor Young Man he is a very good person...After such a terrible accident, he developed an injury in the head which led him to be forgetful . "
"what..." you said in disbelief.
"But remember ...He is a gentleman. "
Hearing their words, made you depressed and caused a deep sorrow. How much you cursed him, how you kicked and thrashed him, That you could still see some bruises on his arm, caused by you yourself. You felt horrible. You ran in the hallway, , and searching for him, to apologize.

But Amber was calling out your name from downstairs. "Have you taken the bath yet?"
There were manh bathing rooms there. Amber said you could take in the bath room next to your room. You opened the door and a fragrance of lemon grass made you feel at home, as , your grandfather always used  to make lemon grass tea for you and your sister before he passed away.

You were searching for shampoo but there wasn't  enough left in the bottle in the bathroom

You wore the bathing robe & ran to the other washroom. But horrified , you looked at the brunette , Hiro , bathing, half naked
, with shower on. he looked pissed but gave a really friendly smile " Did you need something from here, or..." you could see the difference in his looks with you & in front of all. He shot some dirty looks but covered a smirk "...is that did you needed  me?. looks like my bride can't wait till wedding night" Your face flushed  pink.
you almost spit on him and stuck your tongue out "ew g-g-o away. i just needed some soap. perv! Idiot! . " you shooed him
"Oh ,I understand now. They are loaded in the rack out there. take as many as you want"
"I just need one , dummy"
You stormed out of the place, feeling embarrassed by his words.


After lunch you packed your bag with goodies and treats from the family,especially Amber. He was the only sane person, according to you , and Jaden.
Walking in the hallway , you heard young maids gossiping , "Tonight we're having a grand dinner i the main hall "  "Yes yes. i am too. did you hear ? he's coming today! I heard he looks very stunning & hot"  a maid squealed . "I heard he looks like his mother. and even has his own flat, which he earned by working as some artist and gets payed a lot and he's just 16!"
you had many questions. the guy was around your age and so talented ? you felt a bit jealous but looking forward to meet this genius.


Amber was walking up to you and waved "Viola! there you are. come on down, we are having tea and snacks and after that you could do your packing and stuff"
"Um..Amber? "  "can i stay till tomorow. i mean..um..that.." you tried to ask
"Sure.! Actually we'd  love to have you here" he smoothed his hair and you  covered your smile , bashfully. "Err i mean..uhh ..well we have a ..Dinner ..grandly, with guests and all. We'd  be glad to have you here and .. I'd  like that too"
You felt awkward and said "thats good. It is not like i want to stay..its  just that no body wont be at home ..so " you gave a crooked smile
"Anyway, thats really sweet! Oh look at the time. Opal! Bring me the bouquet, and sweets. " he ordered the butler.
"Oh, and , miss Viola, I should be aylt airpirt by bow. I didnt tell you, did i?" "Well the youngest brother of mine, , Cyan, is coming home finally after six long years. ! We miss him a lot and house seems so empty without him. " Amber said
"Why dont you come with us, Miss Viola, i bet you must be intrested to know him , maybe, you might pick him." He winked
"I have bo problem with that?!" You walked to the car. Amber smiled helplessly  . "Aw come on. You need to be a bit open"
"What?!?" You glared
He giggled and whispered  "  Then how about choosing me"
You blushed till your ear and turned back without saying a word but giving death glares.
"Well i guess thats a no?" He laughed
You walked till the car and turned back again , and said "who knows. Ehem. I-i mean who cares?!?
You continued stompig on the ground , and jumped into the car .
You were sitting near the window , thinking about random things and one of those was 'who the hell is this Cyan? '
"Cyan is youngest of the family, he is now independent young  lad . He is going to his debut in the music industry very soon. Now, he is just a student in a school in france. He is of the same age as you , and also he has his own website , & what is that?  Ah , youtube ! Youtube channel where he posts covers. He plays guitar like a pro. I feel so ashamed when i see him, well i have to be"
You thought you said it inside. But knowing about new people seemed fun, and also it was one of your suitors. The thought itself made you feel nervous and nauseous.



Amber seemed quiet in the whole ride after that. He had his head down and lost in deep thoughts. When you finally got the spirit to ask whats wrong, you have arrived at the airport.
He rushed to the arrival holding your hand, and almost tackled a young man, standing in trousers and a Sleeveless Shirt, with spiky dyed hair , turning the other way with a  phone in his right hand. He tried to push his brother but he was too heavy for him.
You couldn't see him clearly , but when Amber moved aside, you finally saw him but just gave a glance pretending to be caring less. The whole airport was kind of staring at him. When your eyes met his, you were just awestruck. He had few tatoos on his arms, His purple spiky dyed hair covered till  his forehead . His hands and neck were full of chains and bracelets.,and Carrying his guitar on his shoulders
An Emo.." you blurted. He ignored your squeak. You felt humiliated.
"Youre too heavy. Get way" he shoved Amber . You were looking at the two brother reunion , feeling pretty numb,as you and your sister never shared such bond. But this bond seemed one sided as Amber was the only one who felt excited about this. Cyan didn't even look straight into his face.



But you had second thoughts, when He hugged Amber tightly and snort laughed.
"You need not be so happh. Im just here for a varely some months. I will move into an apartment in the same city but a little far, but anyway, " Cyan covered his face, which showed how teary he was getting too, but you kind of doubted it. .


You felt bored and out of place. You dragged yourself back and even more  back.
Thats when the "emo guy" noticed you and came forward  with his boquet.
He smashed the boquet on your face and said "They smell like you"
The petals covered your angry face. You grrabbed his wrist & shouted "Mind your actions, will you?" But he just titled his head innocently and asked "can i have your number?"
You were surprised to hear that out of the blue.
"What?"
"Can i have your number?" He repeated.
You were like "I get it . Duhh  But why?"
"I need it" he said, and was getting on your nerves.
Here. You took his pen and wrote down a his hand.
"Fine? " you asked
"Thank you" he said and walked away, like a lifeless robot.
You watched him go, and were very sure he was an "emo"

"Whats wrong with him?" You whispered to amber
"Dont mind his words. You'll  know how adorable he is."Amber  patted you.
You, Amber, Cyan and the other butlers were heading towards the car, when Amber secretly muttered into Cyan's ears and walked in the car and thrashed the door & the car rushed in a full speed across you and cyan. "What!?!? Why did they go?What did he say to you?" You coughed
"He said 'take miss viola on a date to a good restaurant or something. Good luck' " . You stood with a blank face and didn't  know what to say.
"So what do we do now? Take a taxi & go home?" Cyan  asked
"Dont tell me..you dont know what dates are?" You slapped your forehead.
He nodded. "No.."
"Uhhh and you are an upcoming celebrity. Huhh. You look well and never had a date? I thought you'd  actually go even far..."
He just blinked at you and said "oh. Yeah.  dates .yes  i have had few. " he blurted out of nowhere.
He seemed not so intrested and often slacked off.
"Wanna come over and hang out at my apartment.  . I need some help to shift there. Tbh" he texted you

"Fine.." you texted him back. All though you were both facing each other , he was standing under the tree , typing nonstop,  without even looking at you.
He suddenly grinned out of nowhere and texted " that's  gr8. Cy'a. Im rlly looking frwrd to see u der.  Brought sm ice cream. Let have fun :3 I've bcm so lazy and im tired rn so ... i need ya ;) love ur outfit btw. So lets get gng. You can say it's a date :3 " his text made you surprised
&, flattered . You didn't  expect him to be so open and kind.

You couldn't  help but blush and go red when he smiled at you. The smile was so pure it made you want to protect it.
You followed him to his apartment.  It was huge and built in a highly secure colony . There was a pool and and it was hot outside. The sun was shining bright. You wanted to sit over there and dip atleast your feet in the water, as you didn't  know how to swim.
Your thoughts got interrupted when your phone buzzed .
You opened it and read his text. "Wanna swim? Im going for a dip so, jump!^^"
He actually pushed you in the water & he jumped in too.
You were a little annoyed but seeing him happy, your temper cooled down a bit.

He splashed water , like little kids do. You splashed too. You were holding on to the rod near the pool . But you lost the grip and tried your best to balance. But you slipped and almost drowned in that. But thank goodness it wasn't  much deep. You felt nauseous in the water and wanted to get out of the pool. the sun was too bright & your vision got blurry. You muttered complaints to get his attention but Cyan, was out of the pool, near a sweet store . the apartment was really like a mall or something. With few shops, A Big Garden ,SPA, Cafe,  a large fountain. Definitely it would have dozen of those teen stars .
Cyan was gulping down tons of sweets in a cafe, you glanced at him, through the window pane.

You came out of the pool & stood staring , with your mouth wide open, drooling and craving for some sugar. You were also thinking how adorable he was looking with most of the chocolate smeared on his face, on his cheeks. You slipped on the wet floor , like a klutz, and hurt your elbow.
you actually assumed it as a date and were quite flattered but now totally upset & angry on how this turned out. you wished you had gone home at noon itself.
you tried to get into some taxi and go off, but realized you had no money.

You just waited there , feeling like a big fool, just wasting your time. that's when Cyan , waved his hand and mumbled "mff-C-omff hephh Viopha"
which you assumed was calling out for you. "What is it?" you asked  . He swallowed the cake and said "Uh Can  bring  luggage from car"
He was so lazy to utter few words. "Uhh? Okay?" you were really pissed now. first, he wasn't even spending his time with you when you both were supposed to "Hang out" at his "apartment" but it seemed like he only needed some help. "As expected from a bitchy immature wannabe popstar. Date? Enjoying?Hell yeah. this is  a D A T E? my foot!".
But still you helped him, with a resting bitch face, highly annoyed by his "ignorance" & "arrogance"
"Is there any brother who's actually nice?" you wondered " You thought " i'd rather die instead of marrying one of them."

You actually even carried a bunch of sweets in a cover, few gifts wrapped, thye were tuly heavy . "uhh how long?" you whined
Cyan noticed you suffering . he said "Actually i wanted you to open them up in the house, but , as some of them are heavy ,and eatable, you can open them up now if you want"
You stared at the gifts , then at him, then at the sweets, then again at him. you opened one of them , he asked to, it was a rather big chocolate plum cake
, shaped as a star. another one had small characters of a book you really liked!
"Oh my..how did you know i liked them?"
"I just knew..?"
"Tell me !  Honestly!"
"Uhhh...I knew by looking at your profile.? facebook?"
"YOU STALK ME??" you said very surprised to see someone actually interested on your stuff.
"uhh yeah? Sorry. Is that bad?" he asked
your smile was uncontrollable , as bunch of the girls called you boring in your past, but a young , going-to-be-celeb and an-already-model was kind of into you???"
"Your weird...but i like it" he said
You blushed but played it cool
"Oh yeah, i know i am"
"what?"
"nothing! o-okay now let's get going!!" you marched like a soldier towards somewhere.
"Well , i am sorry .. i am a bad date right?" he said , seemingly disappointed
"No! No! Not at all. you're Cute! You're mah cinnamon roll, actually. And when you ate those chocolate pastries , and the choco spread on your face. Pure adorableness !" You babbled .
he kept his hand on his mouth "Thanks..." he said sheepishly . Although he was the same age as you, you felt more older and mature.
His expressions were killing. You felt like a little kid, with him.

Finally it was the time... You both were alone in ...his APARTMENT. ! Your heart was racing as you are a fan of shoujo manga, where the couples usually end up kissing and making out  when left alone, in his bedroom !!
You felt ashamed thinking of "immature" stuff

"Do you want ..anything to have?" he asked
"W-WHAT? " you shouted loud
"Um..tea , coffee , juice? " he spoke
"Ohhhh!!!..." you thought you were unnecessarily worried & he was too innocent to make a move on you.
"I'd like some tea, green tea" you said , acting matured
"Cool. Well , But I drink Milk tea . We are quite different. But i like it " he was actually completing his sentence properly now.
"That's ..sweet" you said
He turned the TV on. And pulled out a box full of CDs. You thought he'd pull some animated films or something. But...he pulled out the least unexpected CD...
