CHAPTER SIX

Gillert's Mansion

Living Room

Sabine's POV

I was in awe as i entered the mansion

If i thought that the outside was beautiful then i don't know what to call it now, so majestic yet so simple and beautiful

"Wow Aunt, you have a beautiful house " I said as i snapped out of my admiration daze

"Oh thank dear but all the décor here is all thanks to Sebastian ,He has a nick for decorations and fashion. And besides what time would i have between raising my kids plus my time consuming job and decoration?" She said chuckling a bit

"Thats so cool, i bet i can rope him into decorating my room in dorm" I said smiling widely

"You bet i will Besty" The man of the hour said coming down from the grand stairs meeting up with us as we entered the living room

"Aww....Sebby you're the best" I said wrapping my arms around his waist

I really don't know why i am already so comfortable with him like we've been friends for years but oh well more besties for me

"Sweet..!! I already have a nickname..." He said in a singsong voice smiling like he won a lottery making me laugh

"GOT IT !!" He suddenly exclaimed sobering me up

"Got what Sebby ?"

"My nickname for you !!" He exclaimed

"So i am gonna call you Dimples" Smiling proudly at the name he came up with, he poked my cheeks where my dimples are

"Really now ? why not Sweet cheeks or something? " I asked sharing in his excitement

"Well for starters it's too common and overrated especially in pickup lines and as my besty is unique so is the name i have for her Dimples" He finished smiling cheekily

"Honey am home!!"

We heard a loud voice exclaim just as the front door opened revealing a buff looking man entering with Hassan coming in after him.

As he got closer, i noticed that he had the same curly blonde hair and green eyes like Sebastian so i deduced that he must be his dad

"Welcome home Darling" I heard Aunt say as she went to him and he wrapped his arms around her in a hug

"Thanks Love I missed you " He responded snuggling his face into her neck

I turned away internally awwwing at their display of affection. Sebastian laughed at the look on my face

"Don't worry you gonna get used to it" He said putting an arm around my shoulder

"Oh...i don't mind i just hope i would have that kind of love at their age" I told him

"Strong Love till death do us part is quite rare to find" I added wistfully just as the fleeting image of Xavi came to mind

I don't know why i thought of him now in future terms but i just hope we meet soon cause i am already having doubts about my silly plan

What if it doesn't workout? I could have taken his picture cause what if i forget how he looks? But his blue gray eyes is never to be forgotten especially how he looked at me with so much emotion

I came out of my thoughts to find Sebastian looking at me weirdly

"What world were you lost in Besty ? Was it Narnia?" He asked teasingly

Just then Aunt and her husband came towards us cutting of my reply

"Hello Dear, you must be my wife's infamous namesake It's nice to finally meet you in person. The pictures didn't do you justice, Are you perhaps an undercover model? "

He greeted and teased me smiling making me feel comfortable with him already

I guess he's not the stereotypical mean dad

"Yes i am and it's nice meeting you too Sir. And nah...am not but do you know where they're hiring now? " I replied playing along

He gave out a deep hearty chuckle patting me on my shoulder

"I like that but don't call me Sir, the name is Andrew or you could even call me Uncle but know one thing this is your home as well so feel free"

"Thank you Uncle" I said smiling to reassure him that i feel welcomed here

He smiled back and gave me a hug turning to Sebastian, he gave him a hug as well in greeting

It seemed like he went on a business travel and he just came back

"Bas have you showed Princess to her room? Or do you want to freshen up now before dinner?" He asked before posing the last question to me

"I would have dinner first so that once i freshen up i would go to sleep from there. But why did you call me Princess?"

I couldn't help but ask cause no really calls me that well only the exception of me telling Xavi to call me princess

"Well firstly you do look like a princess to me as they say 'you are who they call you' " He told me fondly like a dad talking to his daughter

"And besides if i called you Sabine, i would be calling my wife as well" He said laughing while putting a hand around Aunt who was laughing as well

Sebby and Hassan joined as well

When we calmed down we went to the dinning room where the maid has already set the table while Sebby was telling me how they have a maid and a male chef as the only hired workers in the house

My mouth watered at the sight of the meal prepared that i learnt was Steak with mashed potatoes and coslo salad

And it was absolutely delicious that i made plans to learn how to make it soon before i go to dorm next month

We made small talks as we ate dinner and Andrew told us about the place he went for his business meeting and how it was a great vacation spot

I wanted to help pack up the dishes and wash after we finished but i was stopped and told to leave it that the maid will pack it up which was weird for me considering i was used to doing all the chores myself with the help of my younger sister back home

Leaving all that we went to the living room and we were served herbal tea

We stayed for a while talking well more like me talking cause everyone was asking me about home in Nigeria, the cultures and food, Sebby was more eager to know about the fashion and artistic aspect and aunt about the medical line of work which i was more than obliged to tell them about and even showing them pictures

We all went to bed at around 10pm

Sabine's Room

I took a bath and wore my comfy baggy t shirt and a cotton shorts and laid down

Damn !! The bed was so comfy and soft that it almost swallowed me whole

Giggling at my thought i snuggled into the bed but sleep was far from even with the exhaustion and jet lag i was feeling

I guess i have a long night ahead of me

Shucks

Third Person's POV

Meanwhile At the Alexander's Mansion dinner was served which coincidentally happened to be steak with mashed potatoes with coslo salad . They eat having small talks as his dad asked him about his work and expectations in Nigeria which he was happy to divulge in as he loves his work and travels immensely

They were almost through with dinner as Liam began telling his tales on Samuel's special flight experience making Samuel feel more depressed on the fact that he might not see her soon as he hoped or even ever

"So Liam you were telling me earlier on about someone's special experience before we were caught off" His mom started with a sly smile in his direction that got his dad curious as well

Selina threw a worried glance towards her twin knowing how he was feeling about it already but he brushed it off knowing that the interrogation was going to come anyways so it was better to get over and done with already

"What are you talking about my love" His dad asked curiously not wanting to be the one left in suspense looking from his wife to Liam

Liam cleared his throat dramatically

"Well for starters our dear Samuel is no longer a Hug Virgin to outside Ladies" He said stressing the words he was making a point with

Hearing a gasp, he turned to look at his mom and saw tears on her face but she was smiling so wide making her look funny while his dad froze with his spoon mid way to is mouth

The whole thing was hilarious and he would have laughed if not for the daunting possibility of not meeting her again

"Oh Xavi baby you have no idea how ecstatic i am right now" His mom started endearingly

"Where is she from baby? Is she German? Are you meeting her soon? Do you know where she stays?"

She continued bombarding him with questions while his dad looked at him eagerly waiting for answers and his sister was trying to wave them off sensing his distress but they ignored her

"No Mom she's not German ,she's a Nigerian and No i don't know where she lives neither does she cause she's new in town so i don't know anything about her. Nor will i ever know if it doesn't work out"

He mumbled the last part excusing himself standing up and going to his room to the balcony

"What happened Seli ? Liam? Is he ok ? Did i do something wrong?" His mom asked perplexed and worried that she offended her son

"No Mom it's not you, he hasn't told me everything yet but it's about the girl he met and he's worried he might not meet her again cause he's already taken into her. Considering his lack of interest in girls, this is huge for him" Selina tried explaining her brother's foul mood

"OH...." His mom said as realization dawned on her

"He's gonna be ok dear and we are going to help him find her" His father finally said in reassurance

"Let's go check on him" Liam finally spoke coming out of a daze of what just happened considering he never thought teasing his cousin would turn out this way

They all made their way to his room only to be met with a heart wrenching sight that brought them to tears the men included

Sabine finally gave up on trying to fall asleep with the bright full moon outside luring her to go out to the balcony to watch just as Samuel came to his balcony as well

Noticing the brightness of the moon, he looked up to stare at it just as the thought of his angel came to mind causing him to smile but remembering how his plan may not work out his smile fell replaced with a frown

As Sabine continued looking at the moon, she started thinking through her plan to keep in contact with Xavi but now it all seem silly and stupid. She should have just manned up well more like womaned up and asked for his contact since she didn't have one yet.

She couldn't understand why she was feeling this way about a man she just met and barely know

It felt as though her heart was constricting and it was hurting so bad that she felt breathless

"Oh Xavi....how will you find me now ?" She said getting emotional as she got teary eyed

"Angel why am i feeling so hopeless about meeting you again?" He said getting emotional and teary eyed as well

His heart felt heavy and was struck with a sudden pain as though someone ripped his heart out then he heard a whisper

"Xavi..."

Checking around him, he saw that he was alone but he couldn't deny the urge to respond to the whisper feeling as though it was his Angel that was talking to him

"My Angel..." He whispered back feeling his heart constrict in pain but it wasn't his pain, it was like someone else's pain

Could it be his Princess or was he just Hallucinating??

Sabine suddenly felt as though someone was talking to her

Could it be Xavi ?? She thought longingly

So cherishing that thought they both continued speaking out their hearts

"Can you feel me Xavi ?"

"I can feel you my Angel"

"I miss you already Xavi , is that even possible ?"

"I miss you like crazy as well Princess"

As they continued talking to eachother without even knowing it, His family came into his room and stood at the door to the balcony taking in the sight before them wondering what the heck was happening to him causing his mom to choke in a sob

Not knowing what to do , they just stood there also not wanting to intrude on whatever was happening

"Please find me Xavi"

"I promise to find you my Angel no matter where you are"

They both broke down sobbing, clutching their chests as their hearts constricts in pain longing for the other as they slumped to the ground curling up to the railing of the balcony

Selina ran to her twin not able to bear seeing him like that

Samuel has never been one to cry so openly and painfully

She fell to his side cradling his head to her chest and started rocking him trying to take away his pain as much as she could but even as his twin it was impossible

The rest of his family just let them be cause they that the best person to console him was his twin

His Parents cried for their son praying and hoping for him to meet her soon cause they already know how greatly it was going to affect him

It's not everyday Samuel takes an interest in a girl well more like never as this is the very first time and he's is already hurting from it

What his dad couldn't understand was what happened that Samuel didn't pursue this Angel of his as he heard him calling her when he was talking to himself, if she meant that much he could have made a way to contact her or something.

He would have to talk to him to find out more so he could help him find her

He thought to himself holding onto his wife to console her

Liam just stood in shock as his brother and bestfriend broke down

Had he known how much she meant to him, he would have helped him out cause knowing Samuel he would have let the lady take the decision about them keeping in contact

And just maybe the lady was waiting on him not wanting to be too forward cause she didn't look like someone that would approach a guy and from what he had seen and how she hugged him the feeling between them was mutual.

Gosh Sam what have you done, you should have pursued further but now it's up to fate and whatever he knows about her to bring them back together
