Hi everyone! I'm back again. I've had a lot of time recently, so I was able to update the story quite often. And yes... this is truly a story of Cahill/Kabra love. Not that I'm mushy though...
Enough of that! Time for Chapter 3! :)
Chapter 3
Amy's POV
I went up to Nellie, sighing. She seemed to have noticed my black face.
"What's up, kiddo? And where's Dan? Why are you so sad, anyway?" she asked, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Dan... he's fallen for Natalie," I muttered.
Nellie's gaped at me.
"Natalie?! Natalie Kabra?! Are you kidding me?! One minute he thinks that they're cobras, and the next minute he is smitten with one of them!" she groaned. Nellie never liked our long distance cousins.
I was about to reply when my phone rang.
"Nellie, I've gotta go... be right back!" I called to her as I ran to my room.
I grabbed my phone from my table. Too distressed with the whole 'Dan ad Natalie' issue, I accepted the call without even looking at the caller ID.
Big mistake.
"Hello?"
"Hi, love," replied a silky British accent.
Oh no, I thought unhappily. Ian Kabra. Just the thing to make me feel better.
"W...what is it?" I mumbled, stuttering a little.
"You do know that your brother likes my sister, right?" Ian continued.
"Y...yes... he does. What about it?" I asked warily.
"How do you feel about them?"
"I don't know, Ian. Does Dan really go together with Natalie?
"Well, I think that your dear brother is smitten with Nat. He even said that he trusted her when they met along the pavement outside some shops near your house just now, love," Ian replied.
"NEVER CALL ME LOVE!" I yelled into the phone angrily.
There was silence.
"Okay, chill, Amy."
"I... I actually don't mind letting Dan be with Natalie... being the branch leader of the Madrigals is stressful enough. It really lets my heart rest when he doesn't bother me." I sighed.
"Fine, then. Are you free tomorrow? I'll bring Nat over and we'll try to get them together."
"How?"
"We do this. First... ..."
When Ian was done with his plan, I grinned.
"Great plan, Ian." I praised.
"Thank you. Bye, love."
Before I had time to yell at him, Ian had already hung up. I swore that I could see him grinning at the other side of the phone.
I shook my head, sighing.
Another day, another love issue within our family.
I sincerely hoped that Ian's plan would work. It would really bring our family relationship closer together and ... we wouldn't feel so distant... even as distant cousins.
