Chapter 15
The British Brothers
Marley and I get downstairs where we found Anna, Peter, Evelyn and Ryan.
"Where are the others?" I ask.
"Dylan left earlier to get Quinn at time for school. Cooper, Mark and Blaine didn't come home." Evelyn informs us.
"I was thinking driving Anna and Ryan can drive you girl." Peter says kissing Anna's hair, who is in his arms. Like most of the times.
"Ok."
"And we have guesses." Peter says looking at Marley.
"Who?"
"Chris and Sebastian." Anna says. Who are they? I have no idea. "Oh sorry Rachel you don't know them. They are some friends of ours from England. You will meet then at dinner today, probably."
"We should probably go. I don't want to get late."
Ryan drives us to school parking the car in the teachers' side. Marley and I leave walking into the park where Peter is parking his car.
"Come on you too." Marley says to the couple kissing. "Not PDA at the school there are kids watching." She says with a smirk. It is not very often that they kiss in public. He is marking her. What? He is showing at the boys on school that she is taken. Of course, man.
"You girls will be fine by yourselves?" He asks us but playfully.
"Of course. Now let's go, I don't want to get late."
"Rachel Anderson, the perfect student." He mocks me and I hit his arm.
Another car parks next to us and we see Dylan and Quinn kissing. I knocked at the door and they stop. I could see the blush on Quinn's face and Dylan giving me the 'I hate you right now'. They both leave the car joins us.
"What is with you all and PDA?" I mock my 'brothers'.
"Very funny. Who are idiots looking at us?" Peter asks us. I look and I know who they are.
"That's Finn, the giant one, and the football team." Quinn answers for me.
"So that is Finn?" Peter asks looking at him with a look that could kill. Finn just looks away. Coward.
"Don't start Peter, don't you have to leave, you too Dylan." I say to them.
"Are you kicking us out? That hurt shorty." Dylan says pretending to be hurt. The bell rings and the students start to leave.
"See is time for classes."
"So where is Blaine?" Mike asks us at lunch.
"He was sick, so he stayed at home." Anna answers. I believe more in hangover after all the party and girls. You think? They man, it's who they recover for getting hurt.
"So that was Peter at the parking lot." Tina asks Anna. Since they share most of the classes they got along very well.
"Who is Peter?" Finn asks and I turn to see him with a tray on his hands. We just look at him shocked. "Can I sit?" He asks and we just nod. To my luck he sits next to me. Sarcasm I like it.
"Anna's boyfriend, Rachel's brother." Marley says with the 'you don't mess with him look'.
"Oh." He simply says.
"Kurt and I were talking, we could go shopping next Saturday, you know a girls day." Tina proposed.
"Sorry, can't, Dylan and I are going out."
"All day?" Kurt asks and Quinn's nod with a smile.
"And I was thinking taking Marley's out too." Sam says looking at her.
"So you too are dating." Kurt says excited. Sam kisses Marley's hair was an answer.
"Well Marley and Quinn are out, what about everyone else?" Mercedes asks and the girls nod and yes.
We eat and prepare our plans for the shopping trip and at the bell ring we are all living with cafeteria.
"So you have free period now?" Marley asks me in my locker.
"Yes, I don't have more classes but we have to wait for Ryan."
"We could go to the choir room and work on the songs." She says to me.
"Great, let's go them."
"So what is the story?" I ask her when we are both sitting after writing 2 more possible songs. She look at me shocked.
"What story?"
"The one with the brothers." Finally, I'm curios. I couldn't ask her in front of everyone. Write now listen.
She takes a deep breath and then stars talking. "We meet in Liverpool in the time of the great depression. Danielle and I were just moving there and Blaine and I were apart for over 40 years. We were at a party when we meet them."
*1939*
Everyone was dancing and having fun.
"People dying of hunger and the streets and other are doing parties." Danielle says drinking a glass of champagne.
"Some people just like to show their money." A very nice dress man says.
"Sebastian Smith." He says kissing both of our hands. "And this is my brother Christopher."
"It's a pleasure." He says kissing my hand but looking at my eyes.
"That was when all begun. He was a charming man and very handsome. Back then I hadn't been with another man. The only think I knew about relationships was being a wife. Woman in 1800 weren't like today obviously."
"So you two hook up."
"Yes. Danielle was working as a nurse and I was alone a lot of time. Two weeks after that party the Smith brothers invited us to live with them. We accepted."
*1930*
"So you how long are you a vampire?" He asks me while a servant is serving us wine.
"Since 1843. My husband, well ex-husband, turned me."
"I have been like this since 1532."
"Wow." I say surprised.
"Yes I have been around and I also learn a lot."
"Have you been married?" I asks when we starts to approach me.
"You I haven't and if there is something that eternity showed me. Life is supposed to be fun." He says kissing me.
*End of the Flashback*
"It last a couple of years, I think, to be honest I wasn't counting. We never defined what we had; I think it is what today it's called a flame. He showed me the perks of being like this. He showed me the pleasure of feeding, that I shouldn't blame myself for being how I was. And most of all, he showed me how to leave."
I like him already. Really Lea? Do you realized Marley is saying that he showed her the pleasure of live. I bet you know what kind of pleasure. Shut up let me listen.
"Why did you guys separated."
"We simply did. It was when I joined Cooper and Ryan. We just separated but we keep contact over the decades."
"Now he is where. Wait does Blaine know?"
"About us sleeping together, yes he does but it wasn't easy."
*1955*
"Who is he?"
"He's a friend that I meet in England."
"Come on Marley, don't lied to me."
"Ok, we had a thing back in the 30's."
"WHAT?" he explodes.
"Come on Blaine, you left to explore. I did too. What did you expected, besides it was nothing seriously."
"Did you sleep together?"
"YES." I scream at him he just leaves angry.
*End of Flashback*
"Now, it's just the pass. Blaine understood that he had nothing to do with how I did slept with as I did about him decades before."
"That's a hell of a story." I say to her. "And we should probably go because Ryan must is already at the car."
I am on my room doing homework and studying for a test when Evelyn calms me for dinner. I get downstairs.
"Rachel, come where I would like you to meet someone." Marley says. Finally. Lea says happy and curios.
We get to the dinner room where two boys are talking with Cooper and Ryan. They turn and smile at me. They are hot. The blonde one must be the one Marley's told us about. He's hot, very hot.
"This is Rachel." Marley introduces me and I smile at the boys.
"I'm Sebastian."
"Chris." Touché. "You must be the famous Rachel." I look at him strangely since when I am famous. "I hear you are a very special girl."
"Well I believe you hear it right." I say and he laughs.
"I like you." And I like you, nice one with the flirtations. What I was not flirting. Yes you were.
"Ok everyone dinner time." Evelyn says and we all sit.
"Marley told me that you were born in England."
"Yes we were." Sebastian says and then drinks a little of wine.
"The time of Shakespeare." Chris says smirking at me.
"I'm more of a Tolstoy fan." I say to him. Nice one. Lea says stop reading Anna Karenina. How can you be reading? It is like I live in a house inside you head I just have to ask look for it. Interesting.
"Really?" He asks surprised. Do you think you can talk to him? I will try let you mind go free.
"War and Peace, is the best one."
"The French invasion. I know it so well." Anna says and Peter kissed her hair. "Don't be sweet about it, your country invaded mine." She says playfully. Oh my god it worked but I should probably stay back I little you look tired. Of course.
"You were there in the French invasion?" I ask Peter not knowing it.
"Yes shorty I was."
"Can you stop calling me shorty?"
"But you are shorty." He says to me playfully.
"I still can grow."
"I doubt." Dylan says smirking.
"I hate you both."
"Lies at the dinner. I am shocked."
"Shut up Dylan or I will call your girlfriend."
"You wouldn't dare." I pick up my phone and dilate her number.
"Hi Rachel." She says and Dylan looks at me with his eyes open.
"Quinn, what are you doing?"
"Studding English. Why are you calling at this hour?"
"Marley and I were talking what about a girl's night, on Friday night?"
"Why not?"
"We will talk about it tomorrow."
"Ok. See you tomorrow." She says and end the phone call smirking at Dylan.
"I have a date with Sam, on Friday." Marley says to me and I see a shocked Chris looking at Blaine. Drama.
"Anna will come, right?" I ask her and she smirks.
"Of course."
"What about the movie?" Peter asks her shocked.
"We will see it on Saturday." She says to him smirking. Lea is laughing at the scene and I have to bit my lip to not laugh too.
"We have the shopping trip." I say to her giving Peter a devilish smile.
"True. It doesn't matter we will see the movie on other time." Burn.
"Since when did you too time up against me?" Peter asks while most of the table is laughing at the scene.
"Next time don't call Rachel short when I am just a few Inches taller." She says giving him a smirk.
"Damn, you turning me on right now."
"Oh please not at the table." Cooper says.
"Yes we have guests." Evelyn says but we all just laugh.
