4. Sleeping Dumb

Blue was sleeping on the couch, her book covering her face, lying lazily during her reading time.

A young guy a about six feet tall and with an athletic build entered inside the study, tip toeing he went where Blue was laid. Her body slumped on the couch and a book half opened was placed over her face, supporting the role of a sleep mask for her. Going behind the couch he placed his face over the leather headboard and cupping his hands around his mouth he, "Boo" he shouted loudly near Blue's ears.

Blue get up abruptly from her sleep, the book fell on the floor. Startled, Blue looked everywhere in the room, her hands placed over her chest to compose her furiously beating heart.

"Hahaha". Bursting with laughter the guy came to stand in front of her.

"Argh! Dailon." Blue called his name with a little irritation in her voice, clutching her hands to her sides.

"How are you Lil." Dailon asked her, messing with her hairs, he pulled her for a hug. Blue tried to pull away from him by pushing him away but he held her tight into his embrace.

"I missed you so much." He said finally pulling away from her.

Blue plopped back onto the couch, taking up the book she placed it again over her face and closed her eyes, completely ignoring the her cousin.

Dailon made himself comfortable on the square table in front of the couch and picked up the book from her face, putting it aside.

Blue wiggled at her spot, grumpily. "Why are you here?" She asked him.

"To irritate you." Dailon replied, making strange faces at her.

Blue's father, Everett was the eldest son of the Welsh family followed by Albert. Everett had three children, twin boys Jaden and Ethan; and Blue, the younger one. Albert had two son, Tyrone the eldest son and Dailon the younger one. Being the youngest, Blue is the most loved ones in the Welsh family.

"Please leave me alone, I want to sleep peacefully." Blue cried in melancholy grabbing the cushion from the side, she hugged it.

"I thought you would be happy to see me." Dailon said, facking a hurt face.

"Whatever." Blue rolled her eyes at him, before closing them.

Someone knocked on the door. "Hello, Mrs. Dorthy."

Dailon greeted the housekeeper.

Mrs. Dorthy stepped inside the room, placing the snack tray on the table she greeted him back and told, "Master Dailon, Madam prepared these snacks for you."

"Oh! Really. It's so sweet of Mimi, tell her I loved it. They're looking so delicious."

"Yes, master. If you need anything else please let me know." She said.

"Thank you." He said politely and Mrs. Dorthy left the room.

"You want some?" He asked her but she didn't responded.

"Okay than, I have to finish them all by myself." He spoke to himself.

Blue sneaked a glance at the snacks that Dailon was devouring with atmost pleasure. They looked so delicious, tempting her to have a bite.

Clearing her throat she sit up straight and stretched her hand to grab a snack when Dailon swatted away her hand. "No, these are mine. You rejected them before, care for your self-respect atleast." He said taking the tray in his hold.

"My mother made them so you can't stop me from having them." She said.

"But Mimi made them SPECIALLY FOR ME." he replied. Taking a huge bite he closed his eyes and savoured it. Seeing him, Blue's patience broke, she pulled the tray from his grip, "Give it to meee." she ordered. Dailon tightened his grip on the tray as Blue struggled to have it. After some efforts Blue let it go and making a puppy face she looked at him, her Blue eyes filled with innocence.

"Please, give me some, brother." She spoke sweetly.

Dailon was amused with her acting skills, she always do this when there's no way left for her to get what she wants. Knowing her tricks he hold the tray above his head and asked her, "take it."

"Please brother." Blue stretched out her lower lip, making her face look more adorable and cute.

"Okay. Have it." Giving the tray to her he pulled her cheeks and she squeaked; Dailon giggled at her actions.

"So, why are you here exactly?" She asked him, biting the snack.

"Oh for that, Jaden needed some papers from Tyran's reasearch and as they were important, so he asked me to deliver them to him." He told her.

"Is Brother Jaden back home?" She asked

"No he's not. but he's coming by today evening." He answered.

"Ohh!" Blue processed the given information and nodded.

"Oh nooo." Blue get up abruptly from her place her relaxed expression turned into panic.

"What happened?" Dailon asked, dumbstruck by her actions.

"It's four past fourty." She said pointing at the wall clock.

"Then, what?" He questioned.

"Nora asked me to meet her at the cafe at five'o clock sharp and i overslept." She explained him.

"Ahh!, You scared me." Dailon exhaled a deep breath. "Don't worry about that I'm going that way so hurry up i can drop you there." He told her, getting up from his seat and walking out with her.
