Autumn's pov
" Hey" April said she was sitting close to my bed when I opened my eyes
" What time is it"
" It's 3:00am"
" What happened??"
" I don't know you just fainted and I was scared and went downstairs to call the guards, I couldn't wake Alexis up"
" Yeah, that's how she is, I am sorry, did I scare you??"
" Yes you did"
" I am so sorry"
" It's not a big deal"
" Okay, can you get my phone for me?"
" Yes" she went out of the bed room and everything that the mysterious caller said starts to play back in my mind.
April comes in with the phone and hands it over to me, I quickly dialed Zacharys number
After many minutes he picked
" Zack, Zack!!"
" What is it Autumn, I'm sleeping for Pete's sake"
" Sorry but I need to talk to you, you have to come immediately"
" Autumn..."
" Zachary please!!"
" Fine, I will be there in twenty"
" Make it ten" I hung up
"Is everything okay??"
" Yeah sweetie everything is gonna be fine, go to bed"
"Okay, say goodbye to me before you leave"
" I will" I kissed her forehead and said " good night
" Sweet dreams" and she left
Fifteen minutes later, Zack arrived
" You sure did take your time"
" You're not the one who has to drive across town by 3am "
" I am sorry"
" What happened, you look like you saw a ghost"
" I had a bad dream"
" Seriously??"
" Zack can you stay with April and Alexis untill I get back from this trip"
" Okay, can't your crazy friend take care of a 7 years old child"
" Alexis is not crazy, I just need you to be home with them from 5pm to 8am that's all, Alexis would have gone to work and April to school"
" So you want me to babysit a grown ass woman and a child"
" Yeah is it too much to ask??"
" Yes!! I told you I was going to spend time with Harley"
" Please Zachary just do it for me, you won't die neither will there be an alien invasion"
" Okay, fine can I bring Harley over??"
" Yeah sure "
"Okay, go get some sleep you look like death" he left the room and I went to bed covering myself with the duvet I slept off with, the callers words "The Morgans are back" in my head.
***************************************
" I want the flight ready by 9am I will be leaving by then, call Franklin I trust him" I said into the phone will mixing the batter for the waffles.
I woke up this morning and Zack left promising to come back before 4pm. Now I'm making breakfast. April comes down.
" Hey sweetie" she comes close and I peck her forehead
" Hey mom" she sits on one of the stools
" Morning all" Alexis came into the kitchen, "I thought you're traveling today?"
" Yes I am still traveling but I'm waiting for my plane, I told them to get it ready by 9am"
" Oh...but why by 9am?"
" I'm waiting for Zachary, he is staying here until I'm back"
"So I get to spend a week with your handsome brother" she wiggled her brows
" Alexis keep your hands to yourself, he got a girl, Harley Clapton, remember her?"
" The one with the glasses?, There's something about that girl that gives me chills" Alexis said bracing herself, I roll my eyes, Alexis always has something to say about people.
" I like her she quite cute"
" There's this time she was talking to someone and she was jumpy when she saw me"
" Harley is nice and my brother loves her"
" Autty remember when I told you there was something wrong with our janitor in law school?"
Yeah she did and it turned out that our janitor was a gang leader, a dangerous one.
" Yeah what about it?"
" I get the same vibes from Harley"
" It's clear you don't like her, all you have to do is pretend you like her" we both looked at April when she said that
" And would you say that young lady" I asked folding my arms.
" That's what I do when I am around her, I tagged along with uncle Zack on one of their dates and I didn't like her either, she's too nosy, she wanted to know everything about me" April said
" Exactly!!" Alexis exclaimed throwing her hands up
" No no, Lexxy, April said she's too nosy, I know Harley is inquisitive but you're saying that she's no good" I pointed out
" Whatever but she's no good, you will see" Alexis said
" Breakfast is ready" I said and we all sat to eat waffles and coffee with strawberry syrup.
The bell rang and stood up to check who is at the door, I was surprised to see Zack and Harley standing there, I keyed in the door combination and let them in.
" Hey, I thought you were coming in the afternoon"
"Hi Harley" I said and she smiled and went into the kitchen
"Yeah but, Harley is going to work so I decided to bring her along so she can get along with Alexis" he whispered the later
" Why?" I asked
"This morning she told me that she feels like, your friend, doesn't like her"
" Oh, Harley said that?"
" Yeah, I will drop April off at school"
" Okay and I will go talk to Alexis"
We went into the kitchen and Alexis was avoiding Harleys questions while April was eating her waffles and holding in a laugh.
" Alexis can we talk?, In my room"
"Sure" she jumped off the stool and dropped her plate in the sink.
We went upstairs to my room and I closed the door behind us,
"Alexis, what the fuck was that?!"
" What?"
" Harley noticed that you don't like her that's why she's here with Zack, to try and become your friend"
" Then she can kiss my pretty ass because that's never going to happen"
" Why are you so stubborn, just drive her to work, please just try and get along with her for the week"
"Do I have to?"
" Yeah, she is Zacks fiance"
" I know Autty"
" Alex, Zack is very emotional please no matter what happens do not get involved in their relationship, please I am begging you"
" Fine, I promise I won't interfere"
" Thank you Alex"
" Okay, I will miss you" she hugged me
" Me too" I hugged her tight
"Autumn it's 8:30!!!" Zacks voice yelled from downstairs, we separated and I went downstairs
I left with Alexis in the shower and April getting ready for her first day in her school while Zack and Harley were arranging their things in the bedroom.
***************************************
The flight was smooth and I called my cousin earlier who has a big shipping company in Singapore, I told him I was going to land on his roof, for the next one week his is going to take care of my private plane.
" Oh Autumn, look how beautiful you are" Daniel said, he's my Dads younger sisters son. With his blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes.
" You don't look bad yourself" I said and giggled when he pulled me in for a bear hug.
" How are you?"
" I am very fine, what about you?"
" I am good, how would you like a tour through Singapore?"
" I thought you will never ask" he grabbed my arm and linked it with his and we into the building
" Wait what about my luggages"
" They will take care of it "
" You don't even know the hotel I am staying"
" Autumn you're family, family don't stay in hotels, okay?"
" Sure"
" So tell me, you're a lawyer right?"
"Yeah"
" We are looking for a legal team, the last one were bunch of traitors"
" Oh...I'm so sorry to hear that"
" Thanks, and we need a legal team ASAP"
" I can recommend someone but she will have to gather lawyers from Singapore"
" I know you will help me, you're the best Autumn"
" I know" I said smiling
"Tiffany wants to know if you're joining us for dinner and Autumn my wife is expecting" Daniel got married two years ago, I did not go to his wedding.
" Oh my god, Dan that's wonderful, I am supposed to meet my friends by 3pm...I will be back before 6 for dinner, I promise"
" Okay, it's one hour before 3pm, I know a dumpling place"
" What are we waiting for, let's go" I said laughing
We rode his motorcycle to the dumpling place,I ordered two plates of dumpling soup and salad.
After having dumpling with Daniel, I rode the sports car he gave me for the week. I went to ' The Wong's Hotel'
Alexis and the girls will be here and we will meet the boys on the luxury yacht.
I have something very important to do, which is avoiding Kyle Salvador.
I went into the hotel and the first person I saw in the reception was Avery, she saw me and stood there looking at me for a while, I and Avery parted ways with our differences.
" Hi" she said dryly
" Hey, Avery, how long?" I asked nodding towards her protruding stomach, she rubbed it smiling
" Seventh month"
" Wow congratulations,do I know the father?"
"No you don't, I am sorry I didn't invite you for the wedding"
I waved my hand to dismiss it,"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't"
" Autumn what happened..."
" Autumn?" Astrad said I turned and I saw Astrad we looked at eachother for a moment and she gave me a side hug which I didn't return.
" I missed you, Autumn" when I didn't respond she asked Avery
" Avery, how are you doing?"
" I am fine, thank you" Astrad looked at Avery for awhile before turning to me.
" We're staying in room 104, here are the keys" I took it from her and offered to carry the bags to the room.
" No need to worry about it, I am sure Avery needs her rest before the party, right Avery?" She asked looking at Avery
" Yeah..."
" Good, uhmm, Autumn, I'll take care of the bags, how about you stay here and wait for the rest of the girls"
" Sure" something is not right but I'll find out eventually. 10 minutes later, Summer and her minions came in, they all became models, Darlene and Faith.
" Hey, girls" I said forcing a smile
" Autumn" Summer said sympathetically and I am not surprised at all.
" Nice to see you too, Sum." I said smiling
" Hey Autumn, you look nice" Faith said and I smiled at her
"Summer!!" Belle screamed from behind running towards us, she stopped when she saw me and said
" Autumn" she said surprisingly
" I am still alive guys" I said smiling awkwardly and we fell into an awkward silence and Amaya, Astrads cousin saved me.
" Hey girls, what's the happs"
" Amaya, so nice to see you"
" Autumn, wow you look awesome, how long have it been, 5 years?"
" Seven"
" Wow, hey Sum, Faith, Darlene and Belle" she said counting them with her fingers
Summer rolled her eyes, " I'm going to grab a drink at the bar" she said and walked away accompanied by her minions and Belle.
"The room number is 104!" I yelled, "So Amaya, you want to go the room now?"
" No, I want to go explore this hotel first, I'll see you in the room?"
"Yeah, sure" I stood up
" Oh Autumn can you drop my bag in the room?"
" Yeah sure" I grabbed the bag and left for the room.
I used the elevator, got to the third floor.
"Avery, when would you stop this" I stopped when I heard that
" Astrad you're getting married, you have no right to interfere in my business"
" Avery!! I have every right, you're my sister"
" Step-sister!!"
" Avery you can't do this to her..."
" She took him from me, he is mine!!!"
" You're married!!!" Astrad shouted, I stood there wondering who they're talking about, I know they're step-sisters but I never knew they were this close.
" Listen, Avery, you have to wake up, wake up and stop dreaming"
" Astrad, I swear, I will ruin your wedding, I so ruin it that you will spend your life resenting me like I resent...." She threatened
"Shut up!! Just shut up!!, I don't care what you do!! But don't come back to me when you realise that you were wrong from the start." Astrad yelled
None of the girls talked for a while and I waited for some time before knocking.
" Who's there?" Both asked rudely
"It's just me, guys"
" Oh, come in" Astrad said
" Hey, guys, you guys look tense, what's going on?"
" Nothing, why would you ask that?" Avery asked rudely
" Whoa, pregnant women and their temperament, claws in tiger"
" Autumn, how about we go check out the bar, I heard their drinks are great"
" I will rather stay in and change, we're going to the party very soon"
" Avery?" Astrad asked
" I would love to sleep a little before the party" I didn't miss Astrad rolling her eyes
" Fine I would stay in too" she said relaxing on the sofa.
Twenty minutes later we all were in the limo hired by Astrad and she's wearing her bachelorette tiara, on our way to the yacht, Astrads phone rang and after awhile she told us "Suzy said she will meet us at the yacht"
"Let's make a toast ladies to Astrad!!!" Amaya yelled
" Woooooo!!!" We responded exempting Avery.
***************************************
The yacht was very big and beautiful.
We went inside and saw the guys, Stanley, Randy, Steve, Elvis and Kincaid but Kyle is nowhere to be found which I am thankful for.
" Hey guys!!!" Amaya yelled and she went straight to Kincaid linking her arm with Kincaids, and he doesn't seem bothered at all. I tried to ignore the pain I felt but I let it go.
" Hey Autty" Elvis said winking
"Hey Elvis, you look good"
" You look very beautiful" he said kissing my cheeks and I blushed
" Thanks" I said
" Where's Kyle?" Summer asked
" Oh he lost the drinking game and he had to go pick Suzy up" Steve said chuckling
" It's 4pm guys we need to stay woke" Randy said
" Guys I have a dinner appointment by 6 but I will be back by 8 to head to the club" I said
" Me too guys, I have to leave by 6, I need rest" Avery said
" Maybe I can drop you off" I offered
" No I have my ride" she said sharply and rudely, everyone was silent.
I just wish no one talks about it.
" Okay" I muttered, "I have to go now guys, I will catch up with you guys later" I stood up to leave and Elvis stood up too
"I will see you off" Elvis said
" Okay" and I saw Kincaid staring at us as we stepped out of the yacht
" Is everything alright with you and Avery?"
" She's been angry...I don't know very saucy around me"
" It's probably the pregnancy"
" Yeah" I whispered deep down I knew that's not it
***************************************
Daniel's Residence
I arrived at Daniel's mansion, Tiffany ran out immediately she saw me.
" Autumn!!!"
" Tiffany!! You're looking good" She hugged me tightly, I coughed and she loosen her grip, Tiffany is Daniels best friend, she lives with Daniel and his wife. Though I think Tiffany is secretly in love with Daniel
" Dan said you're staying with us for the next few days" she giggled, "I am sooo happy you're staying" and she hugged me again.
" Me too, T, me too" I linked our arms and we start going in.
" Dinner will be ready soon, Dans wife is not yet here but she will arrive very soon"
" Daniels wife is not home?"
" Yeah, she left earlier today, and Autumn, she's very rude, so I hope you get along with her"
" It might be just the pregnancy..."
" Pregnancy or no pregnancy she's a she devil"
I laughed " She's that bad?"
"Evil" Tiffany said
" Okay, then why is Daniel still with her?"
" I don't know, I bring it up each day and he avoids it"
" Something is not right, Tiffany, since I arrived" I said quietly
" Mmmmmh, are you talking to me?"
" No, not you"
" Autumn!!" Daniel exclaimed when we came in.
I laughed and he hugs and pecks me, "Dinner is ready, but we can't eat until Avery gets here"
"Avery??" I asked, then my phone rang it was Astrad.q1a111
" Astrad what's up"
" Autumn come fast!! Summer is in the hospital!!!"
" What happened?, Hello, Astrad are you still there?"
" What happened?" Daniel asked standing
"I don't know, Astrad said Summer has been hospitalised"
" Do you want me to come with you?" Daniel asked
" No, no I'm just going to check on her and I will call you"
" How about I come with you" Tiffany asked
" Yes Tiffany can go with you"
" Okay fine, Tiff I will wait for you outside" I grabbed my purse
"I will grab my purse"
I dialed Astrads number and it wasn't available, I tried calling Amaya no response. I decided to go to the yacht first. Tiffany came out and we took the sports car. We arrived at the yacht but they were not there. A young man told us that they went back to the hotel.
We drove to the hotel and Tiffany needed to use the restroom and I was about to head to the room when I heard my name
" Autumn?" Shit!!! I slowly turned around
" Oh, hey Kyle"
So Autumn meets Kyle at last after all the plans to avoid her.
Is Summer really hospitalised?
Stick around to find out more.
