The Heirs

ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ 38

"Wan and Xin wanted to join us but they couldn't make it. Our parents are planning to send us abroad after what happened. I only insisted on staying here. No worries tho. They say happy birthday to you too." Mei explains and then nudges Steel beside her.

"Okay. So the maid told us that you haven't eaten anything since you got here. We've already cooked a lot of food so we can eat once we finish preparing." He said.

"Come on. Let's go to the living room for now." Ross says and helps the boy walk.

Once they were gone. Everyone shared worried looks at each other. It was very obvious how weak he looks but he didn't wanna show it or Annabelle would worry herself to death.

They immediately started preparing all the food that the guys made. They waited for Rasmus to eat first. And he ate like he starved himself for years. It made them relieved because he seems to be doing a lot better now.

When they arrived at the airport that day. Steel told them that the previous day was the prince's birthday. They planned to do a surprise for him and couldn't see him off.

But when they tried to visit him around dinner time, they weren't allowed until it was not risky anymore. They were told that they are being watched too so they couldn't risk any contact with Rasmus.

Luna had to do something about it and had to speak to their parents just to ask a favor. Of course, it is not an easy favor but the siblings know it is worth it.

But getting to the safehouse is a lot harder than they thought. A lot of diversions had to be done and they had to hide multiple times too. 

When they got there, Rasmus was in the bathroom so they were in a haste. And when he started calling Annabelle, she became very worried because he might be feeling extremely sad and so she went inside his room to comfort him.

"So there is a beach outside. We can go ahead and swim. Let's drown Cayden in the wa– Oww!!!" Cullen yells after getting a smack on the head from his brother.

"If you're gonna plan to kill me, at least don't say it in my face!" He yells at the younger's face.

"And will you two stop fighting like 2 year old kids?" Luna snapped at the two and glared at them. She then turned to Rasmus with a bright smile on her face.

"So. Do you wanna go and swim? Or we can play volleyball! Ross sucks at it so we can just serve the ball to his face." She then said followed by a very loud and creepy laugh.

"Look who's talking! As if you can play! You sprained your foot when you served the ball! I mean who serves volleyball with a kick? It's not soccer!" Ross fired back and the two ended up bickering as well.

Rasmus couldn't help but laugh at the two siblings roasting each other. The table became very loud and he never felt this comfortable for a while now.

Eventually, they agreed to go to the beach to play volleyball and swim too.

The game started nicely. But it all messed up after Cayden accidentally spiked the ball to Cullen's crotch. Of course Cullen won't let it pass and the game turns into a dodge ball.

They started throwing the ball as if their life depended on it and it was so hilarious because Cullen and Cayden looked like they're competing for the olympics.

"What the hell!" Jamie yells after Cayden threw the ball at Cullen and he smacked it away, throwing it to the water.

Rasmus laughs loudly and then Steel yells…

"First one to catch the ball decides the movie!" 

After he yelled it, they immediately raced to the water and swam towards the ball. Leaving Cayden who seems to be the only one who can't swim.

His arms spread wide with a big frown on his face.

"This is so unfair!!!" He yells at them as he watches the others laughing as they race for the ball that was being taken away by the waves.

Monina and Ross were both close to it. Cullen was close too but Ross pulled his feet and the younger panicked thinking it was a shark. So Jamie couldn't help but laugh and forgot the game. Mei, Luna and Steel are behind Monina and Ross.

While the youngest couple had already forgotten the game long. They were just swimming in circles while sheepishly giggling to each other. Annabelle is not the best swimmer but she can swim enough to make sure she doesn't drown herself. And the two stayed not far from the shore while the others look like they are planning to swim to neverland.

"We didn't get the ball." Annabelle laughs and the two look at the others who are now pulling each other after Monina almost got the ball. It floated further from them.

Cullen is still panicking about a non-existent shark and Jamie was pulling him to prevent him from going back to the shore. And since Cayden can't swim. He had run back inside to grab his phone to take a video of them.

"It's floating away." Rasmus chuckled and swam behind the girl. Wrapping his arm around her and placing his chin on her shoulder.

"Hey!" The two turned to their left and saw Mei and Luna swimming towards them.

"Let's push Cayden to the shore." Luna said sheepishly and the two youngest immediately agreed to the idea.

The four walked back to the shore and pretentiously acted like they've done enough swimming. Mei walked to Cayden's side and acted like she's watching the video while sneakily side eyeing the other three.

Mei suddenly snatched the phone and before Cayden could react. Luna and Rasmus already attacked him from behind and pushed him to the water like bulls.

Cayden let out the loudest shriek while Mei and Annabelle laughed hard because it was captured in the video. 

The taller male tried to crawl out of the water but Rasmus and Luna are pulling him back.

"Hey guys! Looks like Cayden needs help to reach the ball!" Jamie yells at the others and they quickly swim back to Cayden.

Cayden got stronger for no reason and he managed to run back to the shore after pushing everyone.

Everyone had a good laugh after that and they eventually decided to go back inside.

"I'm the one who got to the ball the closest. So I picked the movie." Monina says proudly while waving the remote at them.

"You cheated." Cullen sulks.

"I didn't! Just admit the fact that you're too much of a coward to realize that sharks don't swim on shores!" Monina fired back sassily, throwing 'ooh's at the male.

"It's fine. At least Steel didn't win, otherwise we'll be watching a documentary." Ross chuckled as he entered the room with Luna and Cayden. The three were carrying bowls of popcorn and trays of juice glasses.

"What's wrong with that? It's very knowledgeable!" Steel said snarkily with an offended frown.

"So what movie are we watching?" Rasmus asks as he sits beside Annabelle.

"We're watching Lights Out!"

I hope you liked the chapter.
