Summer Twist

Chapter 2: Talks, thoughts and disapproval

Author

The sun is gradually setting, the clear view of orange mixed with dark color of the night was seen by those who oddly looked up the skies to see the stars. then the dark arise from nowhere enveloping the skies. It dominates the orange color of the sky making the stars more visible. The moon is somewhere making its appearance too but then, at back of the minds of those who care, it's finally evening.. (Har.har)

The cousins were chitchatting in Serena's room. They have lots of things to talk about. They haven't seen each other for 6 years and they have lots to catch up on.

It seems that Serena is studying law on a prestigious university. Her cousins were awed and couldn't believe what they're hearing. They couldn't foresee Serena and lawyers on the same level. Anyway, Setsuna as everybody in the whole planet knows is a great model, long legs, petite structure and all. She's what you call, a super model, a very popular one that's why all these years she couldn't just visit Serena and stay there, she have lots of commitments. She has a boyfriend named Lawrence.

"They're very intimate", according to Raye wanting to revenge on Setsuna in humiliating her every now and then about her struggle to become a model. But instead, Setsuna smiled in a ladylike manner, not too small but not too big. It's perfect actually; Serena couldn't help but admire her eldest cousin.

Michiru is a musician. She's already a master in violin and she also paints. Such creativity and beauty a person has but mind you, also an attitude! Michiru is not the best person you say very friendly or friendly for that matter. she's not even approachable. Serena couldn't help but smile weakly. Michiru is Michiru nobody can change her, I guess. Amy is still in college, she's taking medicine and doctorate degree also at a famous university. She's the intelligent one and she's quiet. Nobody believed her when she told her cousins that she had a boyfriend 6 years ago. But they're all amazed when they saw him, at last. His name is Craig and he loved Amy very much, the serious, kind and gentle Amy.

Raye has a very powerful voice. She's a singer now but she confessed to her cousins that she really like to be a model. I guess it's too much of a temptation for her especially when one of the persons who're close to you is doing what you especially liked. She's jealous actually. But Serena just told her that everyone would be happy just by having her voice. Raye looked up and smile at the compliment, really, it's not everyday you're cousin gets to see you and actually compliment you!

After some more chats, Mina arrived. The 6 of them talked about their past, teasing Serena again but they figured that Serena is not the same crybaby she was. So, they left it aside and continue to chat until they have no more things to say and soon they all fall asleep.

Anyway, Mina is also in college along with Serena since they're in the same age. She's taking business courses in a university. Ever since they're young Mina had been talking about becoming an actress but I guess her father wants her to be a business woman and take over their companies. Nobody knew about this but, Mina used to cry to Serena about life's cruelty.

~~THE NEXT DAY~~

Luna went to Serena's room where she found Mina and Lita nestle in Serena's spare bed by her closet. Hmm. this day would be interesting.

--- On another jet ---

On a corporate jet, six young men were talking, sighing and were doing other things to kill time. Lawrence Brookes, a pilot is the only one being quiet. well, he has to be. if he gets disturbed otherwise, they'll be dead. (",)

Let's explore the world of men bonding.

"So. Craig, why'd you drag me here anyway? You know man, I have a new proposal coming in a week. and I tell you, it's a big one. I really think that I need to study all the procedures and plans. But hey man, try to refresh my memory. how did you get the "yes, I will be coming" from me?" Darien growled, and there's a bit of sarcasm in his tone. Darien is very frustrated about having a vacation especially when they have a respectable and willing client to have a contract in their company.

Andrew laughed and Darien added irritably, "You know Andrew, you're part of company too, remember? As I recall. we're partners." Andrew trying to contain his laughter said, "Darien, we just have to risk it. Amy is rich, we all know that. But, do you know that I've made research that their cousin is rich, really rich. And their community is where rich, rich and I mean really rich people lived. Remember Mr. Warren and that big corporation? That's their cousin's father and we're going there to have fun and to also have a business proposal to Warren Corporation. It's like killing two birds in one stone!" Andrew continued eating his junk food while listening to his partner whining about the proposal they left pending. Really, sometimes Darien can't take a break from work. he's just addicted to the world wherein numbers, digits, proposals and clients inhabited. He's a workaholic and he wanted to cure Darien and his disease, if you would even call it a disease. He doesn't even take a break sometimes. And Andrew wanted Darien to cool it and have fun once in a while.

"But I don't think that we ought to just risk that big proposal to have fun and give proposal to someone we haven't met at all. It's risky." Darien opened her laptop to check if there's something going on their office. Now that the bosses weren't around, they wouldn't know what their employees would be doing. If Andrew doesn't care about that proposal, well he did. and he wouldn't let it go. He would apologize to the client anything but let the proposal go.

"I know that's why we take the risk and we already took it actually. There is no way I'm going back." Andrew retorted. Really, Darien can be stubborn sometimes even if it's for his own good.

"Oh brother, here they are again. Talking about business? Really, it's.not good. I don't like this trip to be one of those business trips. I sick of it. This trip is going to be fun. And think of the girls once in a while. It's good for the body." Hailey told them. For someone who's very intelligent, Hailey can be a pervert sometimes. I wondered what Michiru find in him. well. that's easy, he's technically a great guy with some minor problems like his being a pervert sometimes, but he's a great guy.

Lawrence laughed and shouted, "Don't take advice from Hailey, for all we know that he hasn't made a move on Michiru, Right?" Hailey didn't respond. His face reddened by embarrassment. He just continued to read the book he's been reading for most of the trip. He couldn't just face the consequences of his actions.

Craig spoke up with remnants of laughter, "Lawrence is like that because he's happy with Setsuna. He's proud because he got the supermodel."

"Hey, I love Setsuna!" Lawrence declared. All of them laughed. Lawrence can be protective.

"Say, Andrew, Darien .. Do you guys have girlfriends?" David asked. "Well. I'm just curious. I know that Darien broke up with Raye but is there a girl after her?"

"Nah. I'm off with girls for awhile. Until we stabled our company, I wouldn't be dating much. For now, my girlfriend is our business." Darien told them. It seemed that Darien knew what he would answer; I think he knew what he wants and was going to achieve it. He can be stubborn sometimes. But his stubbornness would make him great someday. But now, it just annoys some people.

His relationship with Raye is purely platonic. Raye just wanted someone who'll understand her and he wanted someone who can understand his work and wouldn't want to spend too much time with him. And Raye's okay with that. She just wanted a friendly companion once in a while. Nobody except Andrew knew about their friendly relationship. Raye asked him not to tell for it could ruin her reputation so he kept it secret.

"Well. me, I haven't seen my perfect girl yet. but I'll find her for sure. Just taking the time." Andrew said, "You guys have the guts to ask us huh, why? All of you have a girlfriend?"

"Well. yeah. I'm with Amy, obviously. David's with Raye, you know, the singer, Darien's ex-girlfriend. Lawrence is with Setsuna, you all know her, of course. And Hailey here is yet to make a move on Ms. Painter."

"Obviously, you're all paired. Well. what would we do in the vacation? I certainly wouldn't want to look at your lovey-dovey with your girls." Andrew asked.

"Drew, Drew. You know, we won't leave you two alone. The cousins have another cousin, Mr. Warren's daughter. The one you and Darien is targeting on in the business world. Her name is Serena. I heard from Setsuna that she's gorgeous and talented too." Lawrence told them.

"Wow. that's Setsuna's talking. We should believe her. I mean, she's a model after all. besides she's quite frank about things." David added.

"That's only one." Andrew reminded them. Believe me if you could see the look on Andrew's face, it's amusing. Andrew knew Darien's charisma and he wanted to make sure that there be another left for him.

"Oh, yeah. Serena has a friend there. Mind you, and I bet she's rich. You know the Bien's? Well. they're hot on business too. And they have a granddaughter living on the community where the Warren's were living. Unfortunately, I don't get her name. But I think she's close friends with the Warrens. "Oh. I guess, it's all right.I just wanted to have some fun, fix some few loose nails in my head so as not to be senile and have a worry-free vacation. Sometimes being in the top of the company is not too good... and Darien, I said worry-free okay? So I'll be taking that damnable laptop." Andrew said, making a move to get the laptop from Darien without success so he just warned Darien to have a worry-free vacation.

The others continued to chat, laugh and tease each other. None of them, except for the pilot, knew that they're nearing the Moon Castle mansion.
