Chapter 7
"Sit down," I say.
All but Sophia look nervous as they sit on the sofa in front of me. I can't help but be amused by how the three blonde ladies are trying so hard to please the lords while the three brunettes seem not to care much.
"Good evening, professor!" each of them greets.
"Uh! Please, we are not in the school, so please the 'professor thing'. Just call me Khaeli~ aunt Khaeli if you please," I tell them.
"Okay. Aunt Khaeli~" Chealsy and Stephanie say at the same time. Then, they look at each other and smirk. Letizia raises her eyebrow at them.
I can smell rivalry already.
"Boris~ are they here already?"
He nods.
I send all of them a message and moments later, the brats enter the room.
"Who are they, mom?" Leo asks while pointing at the ladies sitting anxiously and excitedly on the sofa.
"Why don't you all sit down so that I can introduce them to you?" I say as I cross my legs and place the gla.s.s of
"Whatever aunty! I am busy," Jay answers before turning around to go back to his room.
"Hey~ wait...." Ben says and he whispers something. Then, both of them look at Sophia who is busy reading her Mathematics book.
"Alright~ so who are they, aunt Merideth?" Ron asks when they all sit down.
Mon snaps his fingers and say, "Hah! Don't tell me~"
"I'd like you to meet the winners of the compet.i.tion. They will be your date for rest of the semester. Ladies, please introduce yourself," I say.
"You're not serious, mom! I thought you were just kidding when you announced it at the party," Mon exclaims.
"This is ridiculous!" Ben complains.
"On second thought, this is gonna be fun!" Jay states in a wicked voice.
I smile at them.
"Shall we begin?" I say.
"Okay. I will start, aunt Khaeli," Chealsy excitedly says.
I nod.
"Hi, my name is Chealsy Parker and I am from London. I have a dog named Chuchu and a cat named Bruh! I've been dying to meet you guys, so I am very much pleased to see you," she says coquettishly.
The brats
"h.e.l.lo, I'm Stephanie Dawson and I'm majoring in Humanities. I look forward to working with you and eventually dating one of you!" she introduces flirtatiously.
Letizia and Chealsy raise their brow.
"Good evening, my lords! My name is Letizia Martin and I am from Barcelona. It's been my dream to meet you in person," she says in a subtle tease as she crosses her legs exposing her flawless thighs.
Ben clears his throat as he looks at her intently. Then, he exchanges a tacit agreement with the other brats, who are hiding their mischievous smiles. When he notices me staring at him in 'What-the-f.u.c.k-are-you-doing?' way, he gives me an innocent smile.
"My name is Primrose Heather Flintz. I'm a friend of hers. Nice meeting you," she utters pointing at Camille.
"I am Camille Elizabeth Rheeze. Pleasure to meet you all," she shyly says.
"Wait~ you're the lingerie girl!" Mon exclaims as soon as he recognizes her.
"I am not~" Camille answers.
"She's not! She's the dancing machine at the party!" Ron says while glaring at Mon, giving off a warning of 'Shut- the f.u.c.k- up!'
"Ah~ yeah," they all agree while looking at Camille who is looking down and shaking. Primrose rubs Camille's back to console her.
"And my name is Sophia Maridone Lopez," she introduces, diverting the attention.
"Maridone Lopez! Hmmm... Eres Español?" Ben asks.
"Si, mi señor! Soy Española," Sophia says beamingly because finally she can use her mother tongue.
They speak more in Spanish looking like an old time friends--- chatting and laughing.
"Cállate!" Jay shouts.
"Whoa! You can speak Spanish, too?" Mon asks.
The ladies are amazed and urge him to speak more.
Jay clears his throat and takes a deep breath. Ben grins.
"Sorry ladies, but that's the only word he knows!" Leo replies.
"So what?! I don't have any reasons to learn Spanish. So, why should I?," Jay defends himself, seemingly annoyed at the position that he's in.
"Alright, listen up! I want you to get along well since you are all living under one roof. Ladies~ the compet.i.tion is over, so please no more cat fights. I don't wanna hear gossips that you are destroying each other's reputation! Are we clear?"
They all agree.
"Good. And as for you--- lords, behave as human beings. Start getting to know them, boys! And start by giving these ladies a tour around your house," I state. Then, I stand up, dismissing everyone.
"Alright, you heard her, brothers! Let's give these ladies--- a tour!" Ben says in a high and exuberant tone while looking at Letizia.
"Why don't we pair up?" Chealsy suggests, making her voice higher and childish.
"I agree. Since aunt Khaeli wants us to get to know each other, pairing up will be a great way," Stephanie adds.
Letizia rolls her eyes while Primrose and Camille hesistantly agree.
Jay huffs at their words.
Then, Leo walks closer to Chealsy with irritation painted on his face. So, she impulsively steps back and gulps nervously.
"No one gives us orders! If you want to stay here longer, know your ground. And please, stop acting like a six year old 'coz you're not!" he says sardonically.
Chealsy's complexion turns pale as tears pool in her eyes.
"Boris, where can we start?" Sophia says to Boris, who looks startled by her sudden statement.
The lords are also surprised.
"Sophia~ can I just go with you 'coz I want to speak in Spanish more," Ben says.
"No, thank you! Leo and Chealsy, Primrose and Mon, Jay and Stephanie, Camille and Ron, you and Letizia... so~ Boris and I... will go together," Sophia explains before grabbing the old man's arm and leaves, bringing her Math book with her.
"Thank me tomorrow, you highness," Sophia whispers in Ben's ears.
"What?" he asks in confusion.
"Oh c'mon... desire is so apparent in your eyes everytime you look at Letizia. Ve mi señor. Diviértete con ella," she adds.
Everyone is speechless as they watch Boris and Sophie disappear through the door.
"I guess we don't have a choice~" Ron sighs.
"Are coming or not?" he asks Camille, who nervously follows him.
