I was in my room getting ready before the kids came, I put on my black jeans, a white tank-top, and a long brown cardigan that went under my knee's. I put my hair into a high ponytail, apply some light make-up and finish up with a nude lipstick. I put my ugg-boots on and then go down to the living room where Brandon was.

"B why are they so late?" I said as I threw myself on the couch
"I don't know Flo, I don't know" said Brandon while packing his bag
"It's 7.00PM! They should have been here this morning!" I said

"Yeah Flo, but they kinda missed their flight" said Brandon
"What about Aunt Helen and Uncle Ben? Aren't they gonna miss their flight?" I said
"Aunt H's flight to Bahamas is around 8.00PM" said Brandon as he threw himself on the other couch
"When is yours?" I said

"8.30PM" said Brandon
"I can't believe that you're going to sunny California, while I'm here stuck in the snow with the kids" I said

"I won't be enjoying it that much, or maybe I will! Drink some mojitos on the beach, but I'll be working! Most of the time.." said Brandon while laughing
"It's so unfair!" I said

"You could have been a part of it too, but no no you wanted to go to NY and be a lawyer!" said Brandon
"Yeah and I can this summer call myself a lawyer! For now I'm just a student" I said

"Just like Stella, you should have stayed with her here! Then you'd finished law-school together! "Anyways which school where you in?" said Brandon
"Columbia? And you know I would stay with Stella, but I really wanted to go to New York" I said, boy was he going to get shocked, when he finds out I'll be attending law-school again here with Stella and move back

"For some reason I've always thought you were in NYU, and it's understandable you wanted to go elsewhere" said Brandon with a smile
"Brandon?" I said

"Yes?" said Brandon
"Do you like Stella? And how did you guys.. I don't know end up being together? I mean I remember you guys crushing on each other, but I also remember you being frienemies" I said
"Well It kinda happened? I really like her, she's a sweet girl and hilarious too! I guess she was just what I wanted her to be and what I needed, she's basically my dream girl" said Brandon
"Aw Brandon, that's probably the sweetest thing I've heard you say" I said while holding my hands up to my heart
"You know, I can be deep" said Brandon while laughing

"The high school quarterback, prom AND homecoming king ends up with the schools it girl, cheerleader captain, prom AND homecoming queen! I didn't expect that at all" I said while laughing
"Hey through that period, Stella and I had issues with each other" said Brandon
"Love-hate relationship but not really a relationship?" I said while laughing
"You know it sis" said Brandon while laughing
"How long have you been together? 2 months, 3, maybe 4?" I said
"Try 2 years" said Brandon while laughing
"2 YEARS?!" I said

"Yeah" said Brandon
"Have you been with Stella for 2 years, and you tell me about you guys being together last night!" I said
"Stella wanted to tell you, but I told her to wait because I didn't know how you would react? I'm dating your best friend, not every girl accepts her brother being in a relationship with one of her best friends" said Brandon
"Well I've been clueless for 2 years, but it's okay Brandon! It's your life, I shouldn't keep you away from something you love! But how did you manage to keep it a secret from me?" I said while laughing
"You being in New York made it a lot more easier" said Brandon while laughing
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Brandon went over to get it. All of a sudden 3 kids came storming through the door, jumping Brandon. I walked out of the living room and found Brandon and the kids on the ground laughing.
"Brandon! I got the new FIFA game today as an early gift from mom and dad! We can play on the PlayStation" said the little boy with the light brown hair
"Brandon, Brandon! Please tell Mackenzie you don't have a girlfriend and that you'll go out with DeeDee" said the little light brown haired girl

"No Maddie, he does! I know he does!" yelled the other brown haired girl

"Chris I'll play with you when I come back from work, and as for you Maddie I'm afraid that Mackenzie is right, but I might know somebody who'd love to go out with DeeDee" said Brandon while laughing
"Fine, but I'm so gonna kick your bum!" said Chris
"I told you so Maddie" said Mackenzie while laughing

"So , I got DeeDee a date with another guy!" yelled Maddie
"Am I not gonna get a hug?" I said as I opened my arms

"FLORA!" yelled the kids

"My favorite kids" I said as I hugged them

"You're our fav. too" said Mackenzie

"At least you won't bail on us like Brandon" said Chris
"And you're so cute" said Maddie

"Aw, you guys" I said while laughing
"Where's your mom?" said Brandon
"I'm here" said Aunt Helen as she stormed through the door with the kids suitcases
"Aunt H!" said Brandon as he hugged her

"Brandon darling you've grown, how old are you now? By the way Ben is in the car, he told me to say hi" said Aunt Helen with a smile
"21" said Brandon while laughing
"Hey Aunt Helen" I said while smiling
"Hi sweetie!" said Aunt Helen
"You look like you're in a hurry?" said Brandon
"Yeah I need to run, otherwise this will be the second flight I'll miss today!" said Aunt Helen while laughing
"Yeah you better get going, if you wanna get to Bahamas" I said while laughing
"Okay, please take care of my babies, and Brandon do not lose Chris at the park like last time! If there's a problem or you need anything just call me on this number" said Aunt Helen as she handed a card with a number to me
"Cool, we will Aunt H" said Brandon with a smile
"Okay bye! Love you all, see you again the day after New Years Eve" yelled Aunt Helen as she ran out of the house

"Have a nice trip!" yelled Brandon as he closed the front door

"Kids would you go out in the living room to watch some cartoons, I'll come with some hot coco to you before you go to bed?" I said

"COOL!" yelled all the kids as they ran out to the living room

"Am I in trouble?" said Brandon as he was on his way up to the kids rooms with their luggage

I was quite until he came back from the kids room, and then I flipped at him as I saw him coming down the stairs.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE PART OF THE KIDS STAYING HERE TILL THE DAY AFTER NEW YEARS EVE!" I whisper yelled

"Sorry, I didn't figure that a minor detail would mean a lot! And you love kids" said Brandon as he walked down the stairs
"Minor it's a huge detail Brandon! And yes I love kids, but I need my time too!" I said

"Flora, I'll bring you the biggest Christmas gift ever" said Brandon
"I expect Louboutin shoes , and bring something good for the kids too" I said

"Did I mention that you're the best sister a guy could wish for" said Brandon while laughing

"I'm your only sister" I said while laughing
"Okay I gotta run too, my driver is outside" said Brandon while looking at his phone
"Have a nice trip Brandon, see you Christmas Eve" I said
"BYE KIDS! SEE YOU IN 2 DAYS" yelled Brandon as he took his bags and went out of the front door
"Bye!" yelled the kids from the living room
"Bye" I said as I closed the front door

I went into the kitchen to make some hot chocolate for the kids, as I finished and putting the cups on the tray somebody was knocking on the front door.
"I'll get it kids" I said as I went out from the kitchen and to the door

"You do that!" said Chris
I opened up the door, and the person I least expected to be here stood right in front of me?
"Helia?" I said as I looked at him
"Red? What are you doing here" said Helia while smiling at me
"I live here and why are you calling me red?" I said while looking at him

"Because I don't know your name, but I remember your red dress" said Helia
Suddenly the kids appeared behind me, and they all just stared at Helia.

"HELIA!" they yelled as they all hugged him
"Chris,Maddie,Mackenzie! I missed you guys" said Helia while laughing
"Do you know each other?" I said
"Yeah, they were here last summer" said Helia
"And it was so fun!" said Maddie

"We went out swimming! Brandon and Helia bought us ice cream" said Mackenzie

"He's so awesome!" said Chris
"Now I know who you are!" said Helia
"You do!?" I said while being totally confused

"Yeah, your Brandon's aunt and the kids mother! He told me about having a young aunt!" said Helia
I was shocked, finally I thought he had found out who I was! But he mistakes me for Aunt Helen? This is incredible! How can he not know about me?! I always thought that he at least thought or knew I was Brandon's sister, but he doesn't even know I exist?

"Do I look like I had 3 kids?" I said while laughing
"Oh god, you're not their mother are you?" said Helia
"Nope.." I said
"Neither are you Brandon's aunt?" said Helia

"Nope" I said while laughing
"Oh man I feel like such a jerk for not knowing who you are" said Helia
You should I thought to myself..

"It's okay" I said while laughing

"So who are you really?" said Helia
"Come in and join me and the kids for some hot chocolate then I'll tell" I said
"Fine by me" said Helia as he went inside the house

"Kids take Helia's jacket and put it in on the hanger" I said as I closed the front door
"No no I got this" said Helia as he put his jacket on the hanger
"Helia come with us" said Maddie and Mackenzie as the pulled him to the living room

"I'll be back" as I went into the kitchen to get the tray

I ran to the kitchen and to the tray, I took one extra cup out for Helia and then I put the hot chocolate into the cups. I went back to the living room with my tray, and gave the kids their hot chocolate.
"It's taste so good Flora!" said Chris
"I love chocolate" said Maddie
"It's the best!" said Mackenzie
"I'm glad you like it" I said as I hand over a cup to Helia
"Thanks" said Helia as he took the cup
I put the tray down on the coffee table, and sit next to Helia on the couch.

"So tell me who are you" said Helia
"2 seconds" I said as I put my cup on the coffee table
"Where you going?" said Helia
"Just going to get something" I said

I went over to the mini bar, and got some tequila. I ran back to Helia and put some in my cup and some in his. He just looked at me while laughing, I looked back at him while laughing and then I quietly ran back to the mini bar and then put the tequila back. I got back to the couch, and threw myself next to Helia.
"Hot chocolate and tequila?" said Helia
"Yeah learned it from the best" I said while laughing
"You know Brandon is the only one I know who drinks tequila and hot chocolate, you're just like a girl version of him" said Helia while laughing
"Of course I am! I'm his little sister" I said while laughing
"YOU'RE WHAT! I didn't know Brandon had a sister" said Helia with his mouth wide open

"Well here I am" I said while drinking my hot chocolate

"I've known Brandon since our freshmen year at college, but I've never known about you? How come I've never met you before now" said Helia
Probably because you've ignored me totally!
"I really don't know" I said while drinking my hot chocolate

"Are you even old enough to drink?" said Helia

"I'm 20?" I said

"Shouldn't you be 21" said Helia
"Not Europe" I said while laughing

"That was a good one" said Helia while laughing
"What time is it?" I said

"9.00PM, why?" said Helia as he looked on at his watch

"I gotta get the kids to bed! Mind helping me?" I said while smiling at him
"Why not" said Helia while laughing

We looked at the kids, and saw that they were all sleeping in front of the television. Helia and I, woke them up and then took them to their rooms. Helia carried the girls and I carried Chris, we then switched so I would help the girls get ready and Helia would help Chris. In 30 minutes, we managed to get the kids in their pyjama's, brush their teeth and get them into bed! They fell asleep immediately, poor things have had a long day. I got back to the living room, only to find Helia sitting on the couch drinking his hot chocolate.
"Hey" I said as I sat next to him
"Hi" said Helia as he gave me the most gorgeous smile

"So thank you for helping me with the kids" I said while being totally awkward

"You don't need to thank me, I love kids! So now that I know you're Brandon's sister, would you mind telling me your name? or should we go with Red" said Helia while laughing
"My name is Flora" I said while laughing

"I like that name" said Helia while laughing
"I think I maybe put a bit too much tequila in our cups" I said while laughing
"So what do you do for a living?" said Helia while laughing
"I'm studying to become a lawyer at Columbia in New York" I said with a smile

"Wow, a lawyer who breaks the drinking laws" said Helia while laughing
"Technically I'm not a lawyer yet! I'll finish this summer" I said while laughing

We spend the rest of the night talking about our lives, what we have accomplished so far and what we want to accomplish in the future. Helia's a cool guy, and I think I'm crushing on him even more now that I know which kind of person he is! I'm started to like being back home more and more.
