Hello Brother

The Rivera family were one of the most prestigious jewellers in the whole of Europe. The business was passed down from generation to generation. Mr Rodriguez Rivera and Mrs Samantha Rivera, had two children Thai and his elder brother Charlie.

WHAT do you mean by mother called?.. Thai asked, you didn't even bother to inform me. shit.

Relax, she just wanted to know our whereabouts, that's all.

Thai heaved out in relief, he loved his mother no doubt but sometimes she could be a pain in the ass.

His elder brother Charlie had gone into jewelry and is doing very well in the family business. He has his own business line already.

What took you so long anyway? Fernandez asked.

it turns out the lady at the counter was a fan and she wanted a selfie... Thai chuckled.

Yesterday's game was really good, I am glad coach tried out that new formation, it really disarmed the other team, they didn't even expect it.

He opened his to go bag and started eating.

I wonder how you manage to stay in shape, Fernandez mocked.

Thai rolled his eyes in response with his mouth full. He looked cute.

The Golden Retrievers was the national team of new York city. Thai and his team mates had gone to represent their team in Miami against their rivals Ribeye Fc the national team of Switzerland.

The unsuspecting players didn't know what had hit them, Fernandez added.

Thai smiled as he thought about the match.

You are ri....

sorry sir but we are here sir, the driver interrupted.

They had already arrived at the airport so the driver got out to remove the bags from the trunk.

Thai and Fernandez got out and started walking towards the checkpoint.

While they waited, Thai finished his food and threw the empty wrappers in the trashcan.

There were lots of paparazzi with their clicking cameras and their reporters itching for the juciest gossip. luckily the airport security were there to shelter the boys.

The air hostess guided them to their private plane after fulfilling all the necessary requirements.

Finally.... Thai murmured as he sank into the plush leather seats.

Fernandez looked around gingerly and burst into laughter. Today was one hell of a day.

I agree.

Thai stood up and walked up to the mini fridge and picked up a bottle of wine and two glasses from the counter.

Let's have a drink and put all this craziness behind us.

Exactly

Thai popped open the cork and poured out the wine into the glasses with the telltale sizzling sound.

To friends and family, Thai raised up his glass and Fernandez clinked his against his own.

The air hostess came in, good afternoon sirs, the plane is about to take off so can you please put away your electronic devices and strap your seatbelts. Thank you, she added professionally.

Alright Sugar, I'll do just as you asked, anything for you, Thai winked suggestively at the hostess.

As if on cue, She blushed as she hurriedly left the room.

Have you no shame? Didn't you see the ring on her finger, she is clearly engaged or married even, Fernandez berated him.

I didn't do anything, I was just being nice Thai whined as he rubbed his arm playfully where Fernandez had pinched him.

I didn't do anything, I just told her that I would do as she asked.

Fernandez rolled his eyes as he strapped on his seatbelt.

You were clearly flirting with her, you know the devastating effect you have on women.

It's one thing for a woman to be interested in me and another thing for me to be interested in a woman, Thai murmured as he strapped himself into the seat.

The loud voice of the pliot echoed through the speakers announcing that all passengers should get ready, the plane is about to take off.

They are the only two on the jet and Thai was finally able to relax

AFTER about an hour, the pilot finally announced that the plane was about to land.

The plane landed and they got out, checked out their luggage and checked out of the airport.

So who is coming to get us now? Thai grinned as he stared at this phone screen. It was already 12:45pm.

Hello sir.. I'm here to pick you up, a young man interrupted.

Who are you? Who sent you? Thai asked suspiciously.

Your brother, sir. he's over there.

Thai glanced up immediately and saw his brother standing 5 feet away holding a big welcome placard " Welcome home bro".

it's been almost 6 months since Thai last saw his brother. They had a little misunderstanding before Thai left home.

Their eyes locked and a wordless communication began between them. The tension in the air was rising.

Come on Thai, Fernandez nudged gently breaking the tension

The man collected the bags and went towards the car. It was a rolls Royce.

Thai and Fernandez walked silently towards Charlie.

Hello brother.. Thai began... I'm sorry. immediately he reached him.

woah.. Thai gasped as Charlie pulled him into his arms.

oh my God, you have no idea how much I've missed you. I let my stupid pride cloud my judgement and drive you away and for that I am sorry. I was wrong.

It's okay Charlie, Thai answered as he rubbed his back in soothing circles.

it wasn't entirely your fault... he murmured.

Erm, erm.... Fernandez cleared his throat.

we are in public.

Suddenly the two brothers became aware of their surroundings as they pulled apart.

Some paparazzi had already gotten shots and crowds if people were gathering.

I think we need to leave now if we don't want to be the cover of the next news magazine. Mother will not be thrilled.

Hey Nerd, Charlie snickered as he punched Fernandez playfully on the arm and wrapped his arm around his shoulder. I missed you too.

Can you stop, you are going to make me cry, Thai commented sarcastically.

Yes, and you are in my personal space, Fernandez murmured. I'm a big boy now.

Charlie burst into laughter at the way Fernandez pouted his lips. congratulations on your victory yesterday, you guys killed it as always.

Why don't we go get some food then we go home?

That sounds like a great idea.

They all got into the car and the driver pulled out of the airport and into the light traffic.

How about Christine? Your girlfriend.... Thai laughed.

ohh do not get me started, Charlie wrinkled his brow and cocked his head to the side.

We broke up a week after you guys left and to think I was going to marry that wench.

Tell me about it.... they all burst into laughter.
