CHAPTER SEVEN
Sabine's POV
I didn't know how i managed to calm myself down but right now i am cuddled in my bed listening to Secret love song by Little Mix ft Jason Derulo with my ear pods plugged in feeling homesick wishing my cousin sis was here with me so i could confide in her about the feelings i am having about Xavi
Still thinking about the heart wrenching moment i had, i couldn't help but wonder if i was really talking to him and not just my fantasy cause i seem to be doing that a lot these days
If stuff like this really exist then i can't wait to have it with my Prince Charming
After listening to a couple more songs and the exhaustion of crying catching up with me i finally slept off with my songs still playing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up to the alarm blaring from my phone , grumbling i fiddled across the bed to find the phone and press the snooze button cause i was hearing the sound coming from down the bed around my leg side then i remembered that i wasn't back home but i was at a new home. I wouldn't want to sleep in and give them the wrong impression even though i am not really a morning person unless it's absolutely necessary and besides i wasn't jet-lagged considering i was still in the same time zone
Finally finding the offending device, i turned the alarm off and checked the time which was 6:45am
Well it's a good enough time to wake up
Gathering the last courage i have before i succumbed to the soft comfort of the bed, i got out of it and went to the bathroom to shower and get ready
After showering and changing to my outfit for the day i continued unpacking my stuffs which wasn't much cause i planned to shop for majority of my things here instead of traveling with a huge luggage since i was here to stay for a long time
Finishing in record time i went for my phone charger lastly which was in the front pocket of my backpack
Removing it i saw a piece of paper which i don't remember putting there fall off but before i could reach for it a strong wind blew into the room from the balcony door making it go under the bed beyond my reach unless the bed was raised reminding me that i forgot to close it the night before
Shrugging it off i plugged my phone to charge and went downstairs hopefully the family are awake as well
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Good morning Princess. Did you sleep well?"
I was startled when i heard Andrew's booming voice just as i stepped down the last stairs
He was reading the newspaper in the living room while drinking coffee
I guess i am not the only early bed in house.....gladly
"Good morning Uncle. I had a good night and slept like a baby" I told him the half truth cause i really did sleep well and i wouldn't want to worry him by telling that i stayed up crying for God knows how long before falling asleep
"Well i am glad you are well settled and had a good night rest dear" Aunt said coming from the direction of the dinning room
I smiled in her direction wishing her a good morning as well and thanked her for giving me such comfy and spacious room to which she waved it off and Andrew saying that a Princess has to be treated as one which made me blush
Amused , Aunt saved me from my blushing feat pulling me along to the dinning room for breakfast
Shortly after Andrew followed suit just as Hassan and Sebastian came downstairs and joined us giving both their mom and I kisses on the cheek while wishing us good morning as though it was a daily occurrence with me there
I guess i am quite fortunate to be with this amazing family
Breakfast was amazing which was made by Dear Aunt cause she wanted to make a welcome home breakfast for me
Gosh they're too much and if they continue like this i would be so spoilt that i wouldn't want to go back home
"Dear would you want to go shopping after breakfast or some other day if you want to rest some more ?" Aunt asked
"No today is fine besides i need to get a Sim registered" I responded smiling already eager to go
"Alright then Sebastian will be coming with us as well as the fashion critic or more like the bag carrier" She said teasing Sebby making us laugh as he tried to look offended but was failing big time
Giving up he gave us the tongue out
"I am gonna act like you didn't say that mom cause i just want to bond with my Dimples " He said giving me a cheeky smile
"Oh and remind me dear before we go out to place a call to your parents since we couldn't do that as it was late"
"Ok Aunt"
"As you're shopping guys don't forget to buy room décor and furniture for guess who's gonna be my new flatmate?" Hassan said directing the last part to me
Wait what !!!??
Flatmate !!??
Am i staying at in an apartment instead of the dorm??
"Yes dear ,You would be staying in an apartment close to the school with Hassan" My Aunt affirmed making me realize that i spoke out loud
"Yes, we couldn't tell you sooner cause i just got the confirmation this morning .Hope you're ok with that? Cause we felt you would prefer living with someone familiar" Hassan tried to explain which he didn't need to cos i was ecstatic about it
I would pick it over the dorm anyday and it's not that the dorms are bad i just prefer staying in apartments
"I am actually happy about that and i prefer the apartment to staying in dorms and trying to get along with everyone around you " I reassured them
Happy that i was accepting to their decision they all smiled widely showing how much they enjoy having me with them
After breakfast i talked to my parents for a short time all thanks to my dad saying that international calls were expensive and all that then we finally went shopping as Andrew went to his office and Hassan went out to run some errands

Samuel's POV
Samuel's Bedroom
I woke up feeling my eyes sore due to all the crying i did yesterday
I left the bed and went to look out the glass wall facing the backyard , seeing that it was still a bit dark i checked the time and saw that it was just 5:30am
I am already used to waking up around this time so it's like my body is wired to wake up even without setting an alarm even if i don't want to. It all has its pros and cons
Standing there i thought back to last night and what happened afterwards
Selina hugged me till i calmed down
After staying there for a while looking at the stars my mom came over with a tray of hot chocolates with my dad and Liam following her behind
They all settled down sitting crisscross on the floor with me making a circle as my mom placed the tray in the middle sitting beside me
"I know that you both always stay up late into the night talking with drinking hot chocolate, so we decided to spice things up by joining you guys tonight" Mom said as she finally settled down
Touched, i hugged her making her pat my back in comfort
I know they were all worried about me after i broke down cause they have never seen me this way before. So i need to get my act together and have fun with them tonight
"I am ok guys" I reassured them releasing her from my hug which she was reluctant to let go
"And i am going to tell you guys about her, well the little i know about her from when i first saw her to when i foolishly let her go instead of taking charge and asking her out as we parted ways"
I saw Liam already smiling waiting to hear all about it to taunt me later on
I just rolled my eyes at him
"Sam we're waiting....." Lina whined when she saw that i was taking too long to start talking
"Ok ok....calm down. I was already seated in my seat already thinking of how to cope with my overly flirty seatmate when i saw her....."
I started tell them as i was awwed and oohed by my mom and Lina especially the cuddling and then later hugging part
By the time i was done narrating , i was red in the face in embarrassment as my dad and Liam teased me relentlessly
But Mom Shushed them by telling us how Dad stalked her for months at her dance center before he had the courage to ask her out and told off Liam on how he has never been able to ask out the right girl that would be willing to come home with him
At the end of it Lina and i were the ones laughing while they were spotting red faces
We continued chatting up and laughing till it was around one in the morning before we went to bed
I just wonder how i am going to cope with Liam's teasing today
With that thought I laughed to my self and went to the bathroom to shower when i noticed that the sun was coming out , how long was i standing there for?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After shower i changed into a blue jean and a black shirt then went downstairs to meet everyone for breakfast
"Good morning Mom, Dad" I greeted them kissing mom on her cheeks as i saw them sitting in the living room with Liam as well who was already giving me the taunting getting ready to tease the heck out me
Called it
"And Liam" I greeted him giving him the stink eye warning him not to start but guess what ? He never listens
"OH..... Good morning brother. Hope you had a good night rest cause i know you must have been so exhausted with all the cuddles and hugs" He started smirking
Before i could reply him i was cut off by Lina
"Don't mind him dear brother he's just jealous he wasn't the one sitting with her"
"What ?! I am your brother as well and i am not jealous besides i was the one sitting there before he ousted me and took my place" He said getting riled up cause guess what? never call him jealous
"And had i been the one, asking her out wouldn't have been a problem" He smirked trying to turn the tables on me
"Well i don't think she would want to deal with a player"
"Who told you that?" He said baffled like it was the most insane thing to say
You see my dear cousin is what we call cocky and so full of himself thats why he hates being called jealous cause he feels that no one was resistant to his charms
"Well She Told me" I told him stressing the words to rile him up well even though she didn't say it out like that but she was actually relieved especially when she saw how he was with the other lady
"Yeah right!! Says the girl that was cuddling and hugging someone she didn't know" He scoffed trying to play it out like it bruise his super ego
"But the last time i checked, i was the one who pulled her to me and cuddled her while she was sleeping and she hugged me farewell after got to know a bit about eachother and she was comfortable with me. So what's your point bro?"
I stared him down smirking knowing that he's not going to tease me anytime soon
"Oh......You just got burned Liam" Lina who was quietly watching us started laughing holding onto Liam's shoulder making our parents that were also watching out spat intently laugh as well
"Alright boys i don't want any other burns lets go have breakfast" Mom said still laughing
Liam and I joined them as we all went to the dinning room
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you guys still going to going to the mall today?" Mom asked as we eat our breakfast
"Yes Mom we are going and that reminds i have to call Lyds to see if she's coming here or meeting us at the mall" Selina excused herself to make the call
"Sam what about Aiden? Is he coming along? It's been a while since i saw that lil rascal and had that rematch" My dad asked
My Dad, His bestfriend who is Aiden's dad ,Liam's dad, Liam, Aiden and I usually have a guys night every friday night if we are all present but i was away for a month so it couldn't hold
The last time we hung out, Aiden and my dad had a Pool match that my dad lost to Aiden claiming that he was not in his element that night
My phone pinged just as i opened my mouth to talk
Speaking of the devil, He texted me saying that he was on his way to my place
"He just texted me that he's on his way here" I told my dad
He nodded and continued eating
"Sam do you know the students staying in the apartment between yours and Seli?" My Mom asked just as Selina came back to the table
"No Mom but i was told one is in his final year and the other hasn't arrived yet, something about an international student" I told them what i knew
"Yeah, that's what i heard too. I was hoping they were girls so i could make friends with them but i guess not" Selina said sadly
"And dear Sam and Aiden will go caveman if you even tried talking to them boys" Liam said snickering
"I know right?! Sam is understandable but Aiden is something else" She rolled her eyes
My Parents,Liam and I all shared a look knowingly
"Oh and Lyds is coming over she's on her way already"
"Alright then you guys have fun and Seli guess who just got her ticket to the concert tonight?"
I had to close my ears as Selina screamed bloody murder
"Oh my gosh Mom, are you serious?"
"Ofcourse darling, the mail came in this morning"
"I can't wait to tell Lyds, she's gonna be excited cause she was already losing hope of ever getting it" Selina said bouncing in her seat in excitement
"What concert is that? I have never seen you this ecstatic about one before, Mom especially" I asked lost
"Thats my question as well Son" Dad too was looking lost at the women of his house
"Well the amazing super hot boys of 5SOS are in town and you know my crush on Calum, like he's so dreamy and i get to see him face to face cause we got backstage pass as well" She said with a dreamy look
Closing my mouth with my hand i coughed muttering 'Aiden's gonna be heartbroken'
"What did you say?" She asked looking confused
"Nothing, I just felt something in my throat"
She nodded still looking at me confused
The thing is my dear bestfriend has been in love with my sister for as long as i can remember but he never confessed caused he's scared it will ruin their friendship. Total cliché
Liam laughed out loud making me elbow him cause i know he heard me as he was sitting beside me but he still continued until i pinched him in his side.
He shut up and cussed out and my mom screamed at him to mind his language
We finished and went to the living to wait on Aiden and Lydia
Just then the doorbell rang followed by footsteps as Lydia and Aiden appeared
"Good morning Adrian Good morning Valeria" Lydia greeted my parents hugging them both
"Hey Sam welcome home, How was your trip?" She asked hugging me as well
I was about to answer but Liam beat me to it
What's with everyone cutting me off today
"His trip super awesome especially the flight back home" He said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively
"Oh....i got the hint last night just waiting for the juicy details from you" She said making me look at Selina accusingly
"What Sam she's my bestfriend and i was super excited for you that i had to share. And it wasn't a secret" She defended herself giving me the tongues out as Liam laughed enjoying my distress
I gave him a warning look towards Lydia
Another fun fact, Liam is in love with Lydia but because scared just like Aiden plus his reputation as a player he never confessed only trying to hide his feelings by having one night stands which is stupid if you ask me
That shut him up effectively, I guess blackmail isn't so bad
I turned to find Aiden talking to my parents as my dad challenged him to a pool match for the coming friday
"Alright dad, He has accepted the challenge and now we have to get going" I said coming to put my hand around his shoulder dragging him away
"Now you finally saw your bestfriend Sam i am honored" He told me sarcastically
"Well it wasn't my fault they were hounding me and you refused to save me from them and went making challenge with my dad"
"Was it about that girl?" He asked his face lighting up as he forgot his so called grudge
"Shut up man" Knowing that Selina was the one who told him already
"Come on.....it's epic" He whined making me look at him weirdly
"Lets go guys" I yelled cutting the conversation off moving to the front door
Soon enough they all filed out and we left for the mall with me driving and Aiden sitting beside Selina in the back while Liam kept giving glances at Lydia through the rear-view mirror
I scoffed shaking my head at the irony of them claiming that i wasn't brave enough for my girl
My Girl.....I like the sound of that
