Chapter 4
Back at the Burromuerto family dining hall, the rest of the guests including me, Owen and Noah, who were busy sitting aside from each other, all awaited the arrival of Alejandro. I already met him, but knowing the incredible ego that he already has, he just wanted to make an introduction. Of course, I was gonna be sitting next to Alejandro's seductive wife so I guess she could make very good company. We all looked upstairs and out came their family butler.
"Everyone, may I have all of your attention?" The butler said to the rest of us. We all looked at him very clearly, "May I present to you, Master Alejandro Burromuerto."
When the butler said his name, he slowly approached downstairs with Heather wrapped around his arm. I have to admit, he knew how to make an entrance in his such weird dinner parties. And right behind him was another one of his butlers, who was busy lifting up the huge family heirloom right to the table from which we were all sitting. He was about to reveal the Crystal Bull to everybody soon and somehow, I could feel their insides being sweated on. The rest of the guests, except me and Noah, were just so nervous about what was inside the red curtain.
"Thanks for the introduction, my man." Alejandro smiled right at the butler before he grabbed his champagne glass and turned to the rest of us, "Friends, family, guests. I'm so honored to welcome you to my annual dinner party. This is a time to get to be closer together."
"Justin, my underwear is itching me..." Owen whispered to me as I was trying to hear Alejandro talk.
"Can't you just let it past you for once? Your butt's gonna be fine, trust me..." I whispered to Owen back. His butt was just so much redder than a can of hot sauce being set on fire on the planet Venus.
"But that's not what I called you here. I called you out for one reason. To see which member of my family, would be in control of our family possession." Alejandro smirked a bit as he lifted up the curtain which was covering up the most incredible sight I ever seen. I finally got another chance to see the Crystal Bull. I have no clue why this was hypnotizing me other than my good looks. That I don't know why. The rest of the guests, except Noah in which he didn't too impressed, all gawked at this incredible head of a Crystal Bull, "Presenting... the Crystal Bull!"
"Whoa..." Lightning replied as his eyes suddenly bulged out of it's sockets. "It's sha-mazing!"
"I'll say... it matches my eyes..." Anne Maria said as her eyes just sparkled on that piece of hardened crystal.
"Eh, it's not bad." Duncan replied with his arms crossed, "It's a lot better than Harold's silver underwear back at his place."
"I'm glad that the rest of you like it. I wish I could give the artifact to the rest of you, but unfortunately, it must be a part of my family." Alejandro said with a bit of negativity in his face, "I don't want to keep you waiting any longer. It's now time I name the person of my family that I will pass this priceless artifact to."
Somehow, I wanted to hear this, but Owen kept annoying me a bit with his itchy underwear.
"Justin... do you have any rash cream?" Owen whispered right to me.
"Why should I know, Owen? Like I said, just wait!" I whispered to him gently, not making sure that we didn't start a commotion at the dinner table.
"I can't help it, my biscuits are just bleeding to the bone here!" Owen whispered to me once again. Maybe it's just about high tide that I ignored him and listened to what Alejandro said.
"I was given this family heirloom by age 10, which is sent to represent wisdom and courage to my family, and now 13 years later, it's now brought me so much luck. And now, it's time to pass it on to the next generation of Burromuertos, or perhaps, let someone older than me reclaim my wisdom and courage." Alejandro said as he took one final look at Heather before he could finally name the successor or the reclaimer of the Crystal Bull, "So it is with my honor that I give this priceless Crystal Bull..."
I stood up way far on my seat to see who was going to be named. Noah just went right to sleep, I assume since this would be so boring to him. I also adjusted my perfect wavy hair in the process. And then, out came Alejandro's lips.
"...to my wonderful father who has taught me all through the years and back. And I want to say that you deserve my wisdom and courage to keep leading this family to great strength." Alejandro said with a smile as he toasted to his mother and father, both middle aged, who were smiling right at their proud son. "Thanks, dad. You deserve it."
"Anytime, son. You're always there for us when you need to." Alejandro's father said to his son with a smile on his face.
Somehow, having Alejandro say his father's name made Heather grow very upset and very angry. He was supposed to name her as the owner of the priceless crystal artifact. His teeth was gritting angrier like the mad bulldog that she was. But knowing that this was only a dinner party, she had no choice but to hide it.
"Now that's settled. Let's all have a wonderful dinner, courtesy of me. So Cheers!" Alejandro exclaimed as he raised his glass, joining in a group toast.
"Cheers!" The rest of us said to Alejandro before he finally sat down and enjoyed the rest of the cuisine. I gotta say, the choice of food is not bad, especially for a hard body like mine. Pretty much the Chicken Cacciatore, the Fetuccine Alfredo, and perhaps every pasta I couldn't really imagine. It was like a world tour full of food. I took a flask full of whiskey and prepared to drank it all the way before I dug in into the food. I guess that should really help.
"Justin, can I go to the bathroom now. My ass is just leaking blood all around!" Owen whispered to Justin yet again.
"Yes, Owen. By all means, go to the bathroom!' I said to him as let out a scowl. Owen quickly rushed right out of the dining hall and had to find the nearest bathroom there ever was. Geez, who knew a fatman like him can ever run that fast in his entire life? For the love of me, I'll never know why. I was about to eat my delicious plate of Chicken Cacciatore when I suddenly noticed Heather talking to me.
"So Justin, how are you enjoying Alejandro's pasta? It's his secret recipe." Heather smiled gracefully like a woman should be.
"I gotta say, it's really good. It feels kinda spicy though." I replied as I was chewing the food. It did feel kinda spicy though, concerning the amounts of cayenne pepper that was added to this feast. I can always wonder why Alejandro always had such a fascination with anything spicy, whether it's women or food that can literally make my pee turn right into fire. And I got a perfect urine tract and I didn't want to have to do or eat anything so fiery to make it sizzle. Maybe I may keep my tract in after all.
"I'm glad you really thank so." Heather said with a purr to her voice. Even though I was never interested in her, I have to admit that the purring in her voice got me a little bothered. But I didn't mind, her voice just heated up the insides in me. Heather then soon turned to his husband, Alejandro. "Excuse me, I have to use the little ladies room."
"Don't be too late, mi amor." Alejandro said to her as she gave a quick peck to his lips and left for the ladies' room.
As I was still enjoying my pasta, I can hear Geoff's voice coming right to me.
"So, Justin Blackthorn. Me and Bridgette have heard so much about you." Geoff said to me as he sipped his champagne. "Nice job for solving the murder of my Uncle Travis. Got burned with a straw and an ounce of gasoline. That's the last time my uncle ever drinks it and burns himself."
"Yeah, sorry for your loss once again." I said as I bowed to him a little bit. "I can't even explain how stupid your uncle was. No offense."
"It's okay, it was his life after all..." Geoff said as he shook off his sad thoughts of his extra-crispy dad.
"You gotta apologize for him. His father's stupidity lives in his family. I try every day to tell him not to kill himself trying these shenanigans." Bridgette said in front of him as she looked right at Geoff.
"Heh, I'm still amazed Geoff's still standing without a broken nad, I assume." I chuckled a bit.
"Yep, still got two of them to this very day. I really got big balls to cheat death every single time." Geoff replied.
"Oh, you mean like go one of your boat expeditions?" I said to him as I kept chewing right on my food.
"I wouldn't know anything about boat expeditions." Geoff said as he kept on sipping. "I just cheat death just for fun. Imagine some hooligan riding one of those shopping machines where they're just rolling down a hill just for fun. It's gonna come. Just you wait and see. And maybe I might try it and not have a single ounce of death pouring through me."
"Man, I can hardly imagine that..." I spoke to Geoff once again as I can feel a shudder go right through me.
Meanwhile, Alejandro was still being congratulated by his mother and father as he was still eating his perfectly cayenne pepper-dashed Alfredo.
"Son, I'm very proud of you that you would give your Crystal Bull to your own father." Alejandro's dad spoke to him as he patted him on the back. "Your uncle gave it to you when you were a little boy and now you decided to pass it on to your own dad."
"I wish your brother was here to see this." Alejandro's mom replied to him as she rubbed his back, "Too bad he's so far away from us. He would have been so proud of you."
"Hey, you gotta let the elderly have something to pass on with." Alejandro smirked as he took another sip of his champagne glass. "Mother, father... I smell a bright new future ahead of us."
With a smile and another toast, the mother, father and Alejandro all sipped their glass with one final toast. But as they were, drinking away...
...a light just blew out all across the Burromuerto mansion. And to add suspense, some kind of glass had broke. This was gonna be scary. The rest of the guests all panicked one by one with just so much to run. Noah was also scared in fact that he had to hide under a table. He didn't know if he was afraid of the dark however, but he was scared crapless. The rest of the guests just started screaming out and I just didn't know what to do.
"Who in the hell turned the lights out?" Duncan shouted.
"Geoff, where are you?" Bridgette shouted out as well.
"Who's touching my breasts?" Anne Maria shouted out just being offended!
"Who in the heck is touching my butt?" Courtney shouted out as well, just like Bridgette.
"Nobody shoot me, I'm too good looking!" I shouted out from the heavens about.
As the shouting kept going on, suddenly...
...a loud gunshot was heard all across the room which left everyone in stunned silence. It was so loud that my perfectly sculpted ears almost bled out because of the boom. Man, it was hurting way inside me. A handsome man like me doesn't deserve this sound-unleashing punishment.
But then we finally stopped panicking as Heather finally turned on the lights.
"What's going on, I heard a noise and- ohhhhh!" Heather shrieked and gasped in terror as this whole dining room was now just a mess. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that Heather had discovered a body just laying right on the table with blood just splurting right out of it's chest. Heather knew who that body was and she identified it right on the spot.
It was none other than Alejandro. My eyes couldn't believe what had now transpired right about now.
Whoa, who would have the audacity to murder Alejandro? But that won't be just the only problem. What was with the sound of shattering glass? It wouldn't be that... well, you just gotta check out next chapter to see what's next!
Until then, read and review, my gangstas!
