Mr. CEO [ON HOLD]

Whose This? {33}

Behind Mr McKinley and his sister were two set of stairs that joined at the top. To the right of the staircase was a dining room and to the left of the staircase was a set of couches with a TV hanging on the wall. In the middle of the double staircase was an open doorway and I could see more couches over there.

"Gabby what have I told you about doing that" Mr McKinley said as he tried wiping of his ear with his tshirt. His face contorted into an odd shape and this caused me to let out a slight laugh. Gabriella noticed his face and she burst out laughing along with me.

"What's with all the noise? Is Ian here?" said a buff man of equal height as Mr McKinley. He looked nothing like his brother. He exact face had blue eyes and his hair was cut into a buzz style. He had on a tight green shirt and I could see a hint of a tattoo trailing from his shoulder blade down to his elbow.

After noticing each other, the two brothers embraced each other.

"Mike is it possible that you got bigger from the last time I saw you" Mr McKinley teased

"When was the last time to you saw him Mr I Can Never Have Time For Family." Gabriella butted it.

"Gab you know I'm busy" he said looking at her

"Whatever" she responded as she rolled her eyes.

"At least I'm here now"

"Shutup Ian" she and Mike said at the same time. Mike walked over to Mr McKinley and pushed him back. Mr McKinley bumped into me and my elbows shot out to balance me.

My elbow hit something and next thing I know a very expensive looking vase crashed onto the ground.

"What have you done!" Gabriella screamed

I opened my mouth to respond when Mike beat me to it, "That was our grandmother's ashes!"

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry. Maybe I can.." I got down into the floor and piled the purple ashes together. I tried putting the vase pieces together but the fall caused them to shatter into tiny little pieces. What have I done?!

I continued to try and piece the vase together and I turned around when I heard laughing sounds behind me.

Mike was leaning against the stairway and Gabriella was holding her knees as they laughed.

"I'm sorry...We just had to do it" Mike stumbled out in between his laughs

Gabriella walked over to me and gave me a hand to stand up. Regaining her composure she said, "I'm sorry I feel bad but your face just made it soo much funnier. If that was my granny ashes you would touch them?"

"I don't know.  I wasn't even thinking. When I was cleaning it up I did wonder why it was purple"

After laughing some more she responded with, "It's just lavender dust." Her infectious laugh soon had me laughing and I looked in the corner to see Mr McKinley smiling at the whole thing. I really wish he would smile more since it made his cold face look a lot more carefree.

We all cleaned the mess and Gabriella forced the boys to throw away the mess.

After placing her hand around my shoulder Gabriella walked me to the left towards the living room. Everything in this room looked expensive and I didn't want to break anything else so I sat down and rested my hand on the light blue striped pillow that matched the soft blue plush rug.

"Where do you find lavender dust" I questioned

"Believe it or not but I got this from Walmart on sale. Your shorts are soo cute! Where did you get them"

"Forever 21 on sale too!" we both giggled.

"Where are my manners? I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Gabriella but you can call me Gabby" she went to the mini fridge and pulled out two bottles of water.

"I'm Delilah"

"Where are those boys? What's taking them so long. Are you hungry because I know that I am."

"Yea I am."  I could feel my stomach rumbling. I have gotten so used to eating everyday that my stomach grumbles if I haven't ate for a couple of hours. I got up and followed Gabby. After placing my bag on the couch I followed Gabby as she walked to the right of the intersecting staircase and through the dining room and the open door. We entered a kitchen that looked like it belonged to a chef with its shiny surfaces.

There was a woman washing her hands in the sink while whistling a song and she stopped her whistling when she saw me.

"Hi" I greeted

"Whose this?" she directed her question at Gabriella. I brought my water bottle to my lips since I could feel my throat drying from Melissa glare.

"Stop be nice Mel. This is Delilah she's Ian's girlfriend." Gabby told her sister who's mouth dropped open in shock.
