Hello, there people. Thank you so much for you reviews and favs. I am forever grateful. I'm worried about this chapter though, it seems very cliche'. If you'd like to tell me what you think, reviews are down there, don't worry I read every single on of them (not that I get a lot) and put them into consideration. Your support inspires me.

Dan woke up late in the morning as usual. He stretched his groggy muscles and went downstairs for breakfast. He was surprised to see Natalie, her hair in a neat ponytail and still in her pajamas.
There was food on their table. He would never expect that spoiled brat to cook.
"Did you do all that." Dan asked, his mouth watering at the food.
Natalie gave a scoff,"Of course not, I had mummy's old personal chef to do it. Now that you are here, why don't we have breakfast."
Dan couldn't argue with that logic. He sat on the table and started scarfing down, frankfurters, pancakes and a bowl of fruit. Natalie on the other hand was daintily picking one fruit by piece and popping it in her mouth, she cut he pancakes into triangles or squares and bit on her franks slowly.
What was different between these two were seen in plain sight. Dan was a boy who lived life to the fullest, not caring of what other people thought of him, was as reckless as any young boy. Natalie was a girl raised up to be a princess. She had poise and grace, she used to being under the public's eye and she aimed to please.
After eating Natalie stood up and went up to her room, well almost. A hand caught her wrist.
"You and I are doing the dishes." Dan told her sternly.
"Do I have to?" Natalie whined as she stared at her nails.
Her cousin nodded and pointed to the sink. Natalie gave a loud groan and trudged towards the sink, she dipped a sponge with only her thumb and pointer finger, Dan on the other hand was scrubbing the dishes clean.
"If you do that you won't get done." Dan replied putting back his dish on the first cupboard and left to go upstairs.
Natalie finally gathered up the courage to try, she grasped the sponge and even with disgust written on her face, scrubbed her plate clean. Finally she was done, she put back her plate not he cupboard just above Dan's
Suddenly a knock on the door was heard. She went and opened the door. To her surprise a young, dark skinned boy. With glasses and a smart attire was standing outside.
She lifted her eyebrow, "What do you want?"
Atticus Rosenbloom was amazed at the pretty girl had just seen at the door. His best friend sure had picked a pretty one.
"Can I see Dan?" Atticus replied ignoring the snobbiness in Natalie's tone.
Natalie gave him a nod and screamed, "DANIELLL, YOUR LITTLE FRIEND IS HERE!"
"LET HIM IN," Dan replied followed by the stopping of rushing water.
"Come in." Natalie said with a stickily sweet smile.
Atticus sat on his usual seat in the Cahill mansion. Natalie gave him a curt nod and went upstairs to take a shower.
Dan came down with a towel fresh in his head and in a new pair of jeans and a blue shirt.
"Hey there dude." Dan said giving the young prodigy a smile.
"Hey, man."
"I thought you were, volunteering at Harvard."
"Oh believe me I was and it was cool. Anyways, not the point. I came because I thought , you'd be lonely but I guess I was wrong."
Dan thought for a while, "Oh Natalie, yeah I haven't been alone for a while."
"She's pretty, dude." Atticus said admiringly.
"Woah, woah don't go there dude." Dan warningly said. His cousin might've a face of an angel, he could admit but her heart was as black as a demon.
"Nah, I won't go after your girlfriend." Atticus said with a smile.
Dan's jaw dropped, initial shock covered his face. "You don't think I, her me, we. No." He quickly said not even making sense.
"Don't be embarrassed Dan, i'm your best friend, I understand."
Dan was still dumbstruck."She, me. We don't, we're not arghhh." The Cahill mumbled.
At a right time, Natalie came down the stairs, perfect as usual. She had a pink shirt on, designer jeans and gold flats. She had her sling mini-purse and her hair was clipped back on one side.
"Daniel, I want to go shopping. If you won't come, then i'll just go." Natalie said as she walked out the front door.
"Don't forget to buy me skittles, Nat." Dan called after her.
Atticus looked at him strangely. "Dan, go on. I'm due to be back in a few hours, my lift is here. Go on and join her, It's a bit boring here anyways."
Atticus and Dan made their way outside where Natalie was walking towards the Cahill mansion's gate.
"Natalie, wait up." Atticus screamed rushing to the girl.
Dan annoyed followed him. When he arrived it seemed that Atticus has stuck a conversation with Natalie.
When they were done Natalie smirked at Dan, "Seriously Daniel, if you needed a wardrobe guide, I am here to help. I can't have an ugly cousin with me. It would simply be shameful."
Natalie grabbed nod of Dan's ears and started dragging him, "Owww, owwww, owwww. Let go." Dan pleaded.
He looked to Atticus who was waving goodbye, "You are so dead." he mouthed followed with an imaginary slit to his throat.
Natalie and Dan took a taxi and arrived at the nearest mall. Natalie's eyes sparkled at the many shops she usually went to in London. Usually Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dulce Cabana, Juicy Couture, Ralph Lauren and Hollister. Sadly there wasn't any Hamptons to shop at.
Poor Dan was dragged into many shops where Natalie bought skirts, tops, leggings and shoes. His hands were full of shopping bags and shoes boxes.
The current store they were in Natalie was having trouble picking between a pink skirt or a purple skirt which were actually quite the same.
"Daniel, which one do you like, pink or purple?" Natalie asked.
Dan groaned, "I dunno, the pink one I guess."
Natalie cocked her head to the side examining the skirt. "Hmm, i guess you're right. Pink one it is."
A blonde sales lady approached them, "Excuse me miss but are you getting that?"
"Yes, I am." Natalie replied handing the sales lady the skirt and her credit card.
After the lady had swiped the card , she put the skirt in a shopping bag and gave it to Natalie, which she hung on one of Dan's arms.
"Miss, I think you should help your boyfriend, he looked tired." The woman said.
Natalie flashed her a bright smile, "Never mind him, he was born for that, right Daniel?"
Dan didn't reply he was to tired to argue, too numb to complain and to hungry to speak.
"Nat, i'm hungry. Let's eat." Dan whined.
Natalie thought about it and truly she was hungry. But where would Dan put her bags then.
"Don't worry Nat, i'll call the driver to take them right now. He wasn't there when you went so he's coming over now."
"Fine, fine. We'll eat when that driver of yours comes and gets my bags."
Dan jumped up in glee and dialed his phone. When Mr. Bentley arrived he handed it to the driver and requested them be left in the Cahill mansion.
Now you're asking why would they leave their house to some complete stranger. Well Mr. Bentley is a Madrigal as well, he is retired so he has nothing to do with the hunt, he is also one of Fiske's best friends.
Dan grabbed Natalie by the hand and dragged her to Nando's. Natalie sat down on a table while Dan ordered food.
Natalie picked on her nails as Dan came with two orders of Peri-Peri chicken.
Natalie gladly accepted and started eating. Dan looked confused.
"Um Nat, aren't you bugged eating Nando's?"
Natalie looked up to him, "Of course not, Niall loves Nando's and I for once agree with him. Ian would have some of it sent over to our house."
Dan groaned, " A directioner?"
"Proud one." Natalie replied.
He didn't ask any more questions after that. After eating Dan pulled Natalie this time to Abercrombie and Fitch.
"Daniel, I respect your hideous style but dragging me into this hell hole, doesn't really benefit any of us."
"Relax Nat, i'm just buying myself some hoodies." Dan went to the hoodies section and grabbed as many as possible.
He put them on the counter and pulled out a wad of cash for it. The sales lady gave him a smile and put them in a paper bag.
"Now that you're done with your measly shopping, let's find you some new clothes."
Natalie took dan to a haberdashery, or a shop for men. She pulled out several polos, shirts and sweaters.
"Here Daniel. put these on. You look really ugly in those."
Dan even if he was irritated, he wore came out in a white polo
"You're turning me into a British prep like you brother."
Natalie rolled her eyes, "Stop complaining. You look adorable."
Dan looked at her, his eyes wide, "You think, i'm adorable?"
"I think, all the people I dress are adorable."
Dan didn't let that go at all, "You think, i'm adorable."
Dan kept bugging her until they arrived home, well Mr. Bentley took them home.
