“Honey, wake up!”

Precious startled by the sudden yelp of Aylin from downstairs. Opening her eyes, she glanced her room, now colored in bright orange and yellow, mixed for sunset. She was grateful to Aylin for giving her the best ocean/beach viewed room. She got up slowly and walked over to the window. Meanwhile, Aylin was standing at the edge of her door, staring the tall beautiful girl. Her eyes filled with tears, she’s always wanted a child but it was just impossible. Since her best friend had sent Precious, she was the happiest woman on earth. She sacrificed from everything for Precious to feel herself at home. She was her daughter ever since she said ‘hi’ to her and her husband at the airport.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” she whispered slowly.

“Yeah, it is.”

“Are there anything bothers you?”

“Nope...most of the time.”

“Is it your family?”

She just nodded with her head. Even mentioning the name ‘family’ was enough for her eyes to meet with their loyal fans.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Aylin continued.

“I don’t know...I...I just wanna learn why they don’t want me anymore.”

“Oh, sweetie, there’s nothing like that...they love you more than you can think of...”

“No, less than i can think of.” She interrupted her.

Aylin embraced her into a warm hug and stroking her smooth hair.

“I heard your yelps on the phone, after that your mom called me and we had a long conversation. Honey they really love you more than anything...believe me...”

“I’ll be satisfied to a call...just one call...do i want so many things?” Her eyes couldn’t hold the tears anymore and they started their competition through her cheeks.

“Ok honey, it’s ok, don’t bother yourself anymore. Promise me.” Aylin wanted to end this conversation cos seeing Precious crying was something she couldn’t bear.

“Ok...I promise.”

Aylin laughed and resembled her head.

“You’re a strong girl and we all know it. Can’t you let it go off like that?”

“I’ll try...I promise.”

“So we solve this problem...Now be quick and get ready for tonight, we don’t have much time. Wear your neatest cloth for tonight cos they have two sons and a daughter...i think they’re nearly the same age with ya...their parents are my best friend and i’m sure you’ll like them.” She winked at Precious lecherously.

When Aylin left her room, both were smiling devilishly, thinking it was gonna be a loooooooonnnng night.

Nick turned of his Nintendo64 and walked into the kitchen where Mandy was cooking something for tonight. ‘Damn!’ he cursed as he hit his palm to his forehead. You forgot to tell her! He put on his most innocent face and grabbed Mandy’s waist from her back, kissing her neck.

“Smells delicious.” He mumbled without taking his lips away from her neck which caused Mandy giggle to the sense of his soft lips.

“Tonight’s ours.” Said she gratefully. “Just the two of us.”

Nick gasped and whisked his hands from her waist.

“Sweetie, is it alright if we postpone it to tomorrow night?” he asked hesitantly. He had heard this sentence before.

Mandy quickly turned around, searched his eyes, for an answer.

“Are you kidding?”

“Unfortunately not honey. I’m supposed to be with my family tonight.” He said softly.

“Don’t you think you should have told me before?” she asked calmly.

“Yeah baby, I should have. I’m really sorry...I totally had forgot to tell ya.”

Mandy closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She had promised Nick to change. She had done it successfully till that day, but she should hold herself and not to mention anything to Nick right now, even though she had every right to get angry with him. They had a small amount of time to spend before her promo tour across Europe, and to her unluck, Nick’s family was right there in Orlando to spend sometime in their old hometown. Who could she blame now? No one.

“Ok, we could postpone it.”

Nick’s face lit up. “Really? Are you sure is it alright?”

“Get lost before i change my mind.” She replied back half joking, half serious. She hated to see Nick sad and she was sure, if his family would get mad at him and also her if he didn’t go. There was nothing she couldn’t do for Nick. She was his first love, as well as he hers.

“You’re the best.” Nick said and before storming up to their bedroom, he kissed her passionately.

15 minutes later, Nick showed up in his navy/white checked shirt and navy trousers. Mandy gave him a once-over and added,

“I thought you’re gonna spend time with your fam.”

“Yeah I am but mom said that we’re gonna meet with some family friends, y’know.”

“Ok, then.”

“If something goes wrong, call me okay darlin’ ?”

“Ok, ok.” She said and smiled unwillingly.

Nick ignored her meaningful behaviours and kissed her on the cheek as he headed out.

Mandy looked from his back, embracing her pug, Houston.

“Yeah Houston, we’re alone tonight. Daddy’s out.”

Precious was in a hurry. Hot water insisted her to stay under it for quite a long time and now she had no time but half an hour, to get ready.

‘ What am I gonna wear?’ she thought, opening the double-doors of her closet. Since last month, as she got famous, she earned a bit too much money for a 15-year-old. Thumping through her clothes, she picked her white deep ‘v’ , tie back French crepe jersey top and her white French crepe jersey tube skirt. Her hair was again loose and her white strapped sandals were matching her dress perfectly. She quickly glanced and smiled to herself in the mirror and headed downstairs when she heard the doorbell’s ring.

Mr.Engurlu was ushering the guests in when Precious went downstairs. From what it seemed to her eyes, these people were really close to Engurlus.

“You must be Precious.” Jane, the mom, said and hugged her sincerely. “Aylin told me a lot about you but you are more beautiful than she told me.” Damn! They had started again. She hated having compliments from everybody, even her own family. She blushed very badly and nodded with her head as a ‘thanx’. Even though she always prejudged people whom complimented her, but she had really like Jane and of course her husband Bob.

After all the meetings, children went to a seperate room which was just decorated for young people to hang around with three big white couches covering a big part of the room, a good stereo system and a big screen TV.

“My brother will be here any minute.” Said Angel as they comforted themselves on the couches and watched MTV.

“He’s late again.” Whined Aaron pouting. “I don’t have anybody to goof around with. Why couldn’t he learn to be on time yet?”

“Aaron, don’t blame him right away...he will well be stuck out on traffic, it’s Saturday night.” Angel said.

“And Aaron, you can goof with us too.” Precious said smiling. “You’re right, in fact. This place gets boring.We need some action. Wanna dance guys?”

“Yeah!” the flaternal twins’ faces lit up as Precious walked over to the stereo and picked a CD.

“Then start shaking your bonbons!” she said smiling evilly.
