Forever and always

Chapter sixty-two

I ate breakfast and then I took my dad's other car, and drove towards Vic and Tom's house, the drive didn't take long. While driving there I spoke with Daniel, who was on speaker the entire time, it was quite nice actually. - After a while I arrived at their house so I parked the car and walked to the front door where I made a little knock on the door..

"Ah Hey Oli, I missed you so much!" Vic said as she opened the door and saw me. "I missed you too, it's been far too long" I answered, and that was true. We aren't seeing much of each other, since it's difficult to plan, because I'm usually traveling the world with Charles, and also the fact that we're living in completely different countries. "It really has, the boys are also really missing their auntie Oli" she said as we hugged each other. "Aw I missed them so much, where are they?" I asked as I walked inside and took my shoes off. "They're in the playroom, do you want something to drink?" she asked. "Yeah thanks, I'll go say hi to them" I said, she nodded and then I walked towards the playroom, and she went to get us something to drink..

"Auntie Oli!" Luka said and stormed up from the floor where he was playing with his tiny formula one cars. "Hi Luka! I missed you so much" I said and lifted him up in a big hug, he had gotten so big since I last saw him, and it's only a few months ago. As I was hugging him I felt some arms curling up around one of my legs, so I looked down and saw little Lio standing there trying to get to me, and then my auntie heart melted. I sat Luka down and lifted Lio up. "I missed you too buddy" I smiled and so did he. - I stayed with them for a few minutes until I walked towards the kitchen where Vic had made us something to drink, which was lovely.

"Where's Tom?" I asked. "He's at work, but he'll be home in an hour or so" she answered and smiled. "Arh okay then.. How's life?" I asked.. "It's a bit crazy at the moment, Tom works so much so I'm alone most of the time with the boys, who can't stop messing with each other, it's exhausting" she laughed. "Oh I see, but Dad said something with Mom helping you out a lot right?" I asked. "Yeah she is, she usually has one or two days a week with them depending, but it's really nice to be honest.." she said, I could feel it was uncomfortable for her to talk about since Mom and I aren't on terms with each other.. "That's great Vic! Oh and you don't have to feel weird talking about her, I know you and mom share a special bond like dad and I, and just because I'm not talking with her doesn't mean you can't talk about her" I answered. "I know, it's just weird for me, I hate her for treating you like that, but at the same time I can't hate her, because she is our mom..".. "I get that, it took me a long time to hate her as much as I do.. I understand she is our mom, but a mom doesn't speak like that to her own daughter".. "You're right, I completely understand why you hate her" she answered, before we got interrupted by Luka and Lio who were running into the kitchen, obviously quite upset..

"Mommy! Lio is taking the two best cars, so now I have to play with this stupid car" Luka said as he was standing with a little formula one car in his hands, and Lio was proudly standing with two, it was a Ferrari and a red bull.. "Lio, give your brother one of the good cars.. It's not fair to have two" she said and looked at Lio. "No!" he answered and ran away.. So then Vic went after him, and dammit that little kid was fast. Now only Luka and I were left in the kitchen, he looked sad while looking at the car. "Which car do you wanna play with?" I asked. "I wanna play with Uncle Charles's and then Lio can take Uncle Max's, but now he has both and it's not fair.." he said and almost shed a tear, how dramatic.. "Let's go talk with Lio about it then" I said and took his hand, then we walked into the playroom to Vic and Lio..

"Lio, why don't you give the red one to your brother?" I asked. "No!" he answered.. "Can I tell you a little secret.. If you wanna win you should give the red one to Luka, because the red one can't win" I said, I then heard Vic letting out a little laugh. It's quite sad, but it's the truth to be honest, thank god Charles didn't hear me saying that.. "Okay.. Luka, red car" he said, he can't speak many words yet, so it sounded quite funny.. "Thanks Lio, do you wanna play together now?" Luka asked and then Lio nodded, now they were the best of friends again.. Kids are the weirdest, but also the best.
