"A Hearty Party Is A Hardy"
Chapter Five
Raising The Bar (and whatnot...)
To what had seemed like an eternity, Sophitia had stood idly by the front doorstep, awaiting for more party guests to arrive. She was soon joined in her wait by her fellow sister, Cassandra. The two sisters had started a small conversation to occupy their time awaiting by the doorstep. Several cars, trucks, and SUVs had passed by, all to no avail of stopping in to park. Now recently, a plain white luton-styled van had stopped just before the turning point to the visitors' parking area. It had sat there, in idle, in front of the house. This caught the attention of the two sisters, who now had their eyes fixed on the vehicle. To their surprise and a bit of shock, the vehicle had departed from the area, making a right turn on the adjacent street from the house, leaving the sisters watching the van disappear.
"Who do you think was that?" Cassandra had curiously questioned her fellow sister.
"To my honest extent, I have no idea who it was. I never remember seeing anybody on the party list with such a vehicle like that," Sophitia had answered. Left in a confused state, the sisters had continued conversing amongst each other, as an idle party was taking place at their sides inside the building. Yun-Seong and Talim were still engaged within the arcade cabinet, Hwang had returned to Mina, who had yet to begin his game of "Twister" with her, Maxi was scoping from a distance again, and Xianghua started to bug the daylights out of Kilik. Across the room, Maxi had took a seat near the dining table, resting an elbow on his knee, and keeping his head up with his chin resting on a hand. There was no doubt that Maxi had started observing again...
"Damn, I would sure love to take those two out on one hell of a date," he thought to himself. Maxi couldn't help but stare at the two sisters from afar, not to mention looking past Mina at a glance. Slowly, his eyes strolled down the two bodies from afar, observing the 'finest details' from his point-of-view. Perfectly shaped breasts, gorgeous bodies and hips, and beautiful legs and hair; Maxi could not help but 'turn-on' to this conception. When Xianghua's head plopped in front of Maxi's view again, his 'mental cloud' diminished from view in his mind.
"Hi!" she exclaims in a bright and cheery tone. Maxi mellowed in front of her sight.
"Geez, Xianghua. Must you do that every time?" he questioned her. He had finally came to realize that it was his turn for 'bugging time', so he assumed that she left Kilik off of the hook, for now. Xianghua took a step back, separated her feet apart, closed her eyes, and pointed a hand at Maxi.
"You must be thinking that I am a fool, aren't you? You're probably thinking that I have no idea what you're doing! Correct?" she says, opening her eyes for a brief moment.
"Yeah, yeah, cut to the chase already," Maxi muttered. "What's your point here?"
A long gasp of respiration came from Xianghua before she spoke. Maxi knew that this sign indicated that he was in for a long speech...
"The point is that you think that I have no idea what you were doing all this time before I came over here to greet you. I think that it would be best for you if you actually participated in the other activities with all of us, don't you think so, Maxi? It would most certainly be more productive than to stare at women for all of your time-" she blabbered on and on, with Maxi only drawing a brief sigh. Kilik caught sight of Maxi from afar, and couldn't resist laughing.
Back at the doorstep, the two sisters were still conversing amongst each other, talking about random topics as they come and go. Suddenly, a vehicle had arrived on the visitors' parking area. The vehicle had driven into the closest parking area that was available for visitors before cutting the engine and unlocking the doors. Stepping out from the driver's seat was, indeed, Raphael Sorel, exiting from his luxurious Bentley Continental. He was accompanied by Amy Sorel, who exited from the the front right door. The car was undoubtedly the most luxurious on the lot, boasting a shiny Pearl White paint-job, with unique silver wheels. The more visitors that had arrived, the brighter Sophitia's face had lit up. Cassandra had just watched the two approach the doorstep. While the sisters greeted the two, a yellow taxicab had pulled up to the curbside of the lot, revealing a passenger exiting from the bottom left door. It was indeed another guest, but was unexposed due to the taxicab hiding the figure. The door had closed, sending the taxicab back on the road, and finally exposing the figure. 'He' wore a straw hat, a blue button-collared shirt, and khaki pants. The figure was also approaching the doorstep, catching the attention of Cassandra. The sisters had no idea what to expect next...
End A\N: Yeah, this was kind of a filler chapter before I get back into gear. Sure it is inferior compared to previous chapters, but I hope it isn't too shabby. Please review when possible! As always, stay tuned for the next chapter.
