Chapter 8

ANTONIA'S POV

"I'm outside." I said through the phone and hang up. I smiled at Emerson. "Don't look at her directly. She doesn't like that." I said to her. Emerson nodded. "Umm.. Nia... Ann asked me to ask you to join our family movie night tonight. You can sleep over if you want to.. I mean she said you can." I laughed. "Sure honey. I'll be there." I smiled at her. "Nia..." I turned to see mama Tori. I went to hug her. "Where's Sabrina and Sam?" She asked as she pulled away.

"They going to pick Zach up. I'm here right after cheer practice. And this is Emerson Larove." Emerson offered her hand. Mama Tori shake it. "Hope's kid?" Emerson shake her head. "Allesandra's." "Oh... Nice meeting you." Emerson smiled. "So... Where will we go?" "Well..." She begin to walked. "I'm thinking sushi?" "The usual place?" She nodded. "You want a ride?" I shake my head. "Nah. I drove. We will meet you there." Mama Tori smiled. "I'll call Sam." I walked towards my car followed by Emerson. "She's gorgeous." Emerson said as we both inside the car.

I followed Mama's car closely. "So you all just ended up with 3 mothers?" "Well 4 including her Wife." I noticed Emerson nodded. "What does she do for the living?" "She have her own law firm. She's Victoria Downs." "Never heard of her." I laughed. "Jesus where have you been?" Emerson chuckled. "Boarding school." I turned to a familiar road. "Emerson I have a question." "Sure." "Why are you afraid of driving?" I noticed she sighed and she went through her hair with her fingers. "I just am." "There always be a reason why.." She sighed again. Maybe I shouldn't asked that. Damn Nia!

"Sorry if it personal." She waved it off. "My first time holding the wheels, I had an accident." I laughed. "Seriously?" I laughed again. "Yea. I killed two people." I stopped laughing and looked at her. "I'm sorry. I didn't know..." "Nah. If it funny, it's funny..." Now she's not going to be all fun. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't laughed. If it makes you feel better, I ruin my moms new car one time." "Tell me about it." I turned right on the road. "This happen last year.. I want to throw a huge getaway party and my Mother... Sophia, said no. So I do my usual tantrum and went into her handbag, get the keys and drove her car."

"And? You had an accident?" I shake my head. "I drove her brand new Maserati to our private forestry and just ruin it. Like really ruin. I drove over the small river and it got stuck there." Emerson laughed. "You are one crazy girl." I laughed with her. "Mama, the woman you met today, she was so angry she put handcuff on me when she found me by the river. She went on and went about disciplinary and attitude adjustment." Emerson turned. "She's angry about the car right? It is brand new." I shake my head and parked my car.

"Nah. She's angry because I could kill myself. She doesn't care about that car. She's angry because I endangered myself." I noticed mama Tori got out of her car. We both got out too and went to meet her. "Sabrina is inside. Let's." We followed her inside and waved at my Sister and Brother. I noticed Zach is eating something. "Hello girls." Mama greeted. "Hey mama.." Sabrina said. "Hey Mom." Sam went to hug her. Zach still eating. "Zach?" Mama Tori asked. Zach looked up and smiled with sauce running down her lips. "Hi mama." Mama kissed Zach's cheek and chuckled.

"ZACHY!" I yelled and went to hug my Brother. "Nia! I'm eating." He said. "Zach. Me or the food?" "Food." Zach and Emerson said at the same time. I looked at her disbelief. I puffed my cheeks and went to her side to sit. "Sabrina, Sam, Zach, Emerson. Emerson, Sabrina, Sam and Zach. Now you all introduce." I said and grabbed one of Zach's sushi. He try to stopped me but I'm just too fast. "Nia!" I chuckled and eat his sushi. "Nia be nice to your Brother." Mama Tori said. "Emerson... Any allergy?" She asked. Emerson shake her head. "I'll order." She sand and went to the counter.

"So Emerson. What's up with all the bruising? Did Nia beat you up? If so, Mama tori can sue her for you." Sabrina said. I wish I could choke her right now. "Oh no. Um... Some kid at school. No big deal." "She's a different Larove huh?" Sam said. "What do you mean?" Emerson asked. "Well if you like any of your Mother, Grandmother or aunt, that kid would be dead by now and Nia would've have told us." "I'm tend to be more forgiving." Emerson said and smiled. "Alright. I ordered and now we wait. Except for Zach who is clearly full." We all laughed.

"How's Egypt mama?" Sabrina asked. "It was amazing. I would want to go back there. With you all if that's okay?" Emerson looked at us all weirdly. "What?" I asked. "You all go vacation together?" We all nodded. "Why? Don't you?" Emerson shake her head. "I always stay because I know I wouldn't have fun." "Why would stayed home?" Mama asked. I looked at Emerson and she looked at me back. She nodded. I leaned in to mama and told her Emerson's condition. "Oh.." Mama said and smiled her. "Emerson... That's not a flaw. That's what makes you special." Emerson smiled.

"Thanks Mrs Downs." Our food came and we all gasped at all the variety. "SASHIMI!" I yelled and grabbed it with my hands. I didn't even bother to use the chopsticks. By now I know mama is glaring. "Antonia.. Manners is important. Do you want me to say your middle name?" I shake my head no vigorously. I reached for the chopsticks and I noticed Emerson chuckled. "It's funny for you huh?" She nodded. "Now I'm curious. What is your middle name?" She asked. I stopped my sisters from saying anything.

"Berry." Zach said. Of course I forgot about him. "Excuse me?" Emerson looked at him weirdly. "ZACH!" I sighed. Zach giggled. "Antonia Berry Avilia." Emerson closed her mouth. I looked at her red face who is trying to hold her laughed. "Just let it all out Emerson." I sighed. "And I thought I have the bad middle name." Emerson said and laughed. This is the first time I heard her laughed heartily. "What's yours?" I asked. I let her laughed more and waited. "It's Emberlynn." "That's not a bad name." "For me it is." I scoffed. "Well at least you're not a fruit."

We all eat and talk about everything. Mama even said my choice of woman this time is much more better. If only they know it's just pretending. I turned to Emerson. What should I do to make her fall for me... She never even touched me except for that little moment when we ride the bike. Now that her friends is coming, how should I continued to make her fall in love. This is so frustrating. Maybe it's time I have that little talk with that Casanova...

*AVILIA MANSION*

After sending Emerson home, I went straight home. My sisters and Zach all went to Mama Tori's house for dinner. I said I can't join them because I have a movie night with the Larove's. Now that I'm home, I want to meet mama Charlie. She was known as a casanova long time ago. Maybe she can help me. I walked towards her door and knocked. I know she's home because I can see her car in the drive way. "She's at the basement." Mommy said behind me.

I turned. "Whoa.." Mommy only wore her see through lingerie. "Sexy!" I yelled and we both laughed. "Nia..." She warned. "I know I know..." She was about to walked when I stopped her. "Ummm... Mommy..." She turned. "Yes?" I smiled. "I have a sleepover at the Larove's. Can i?" She smiled and nodded. "Of course honey. Have fun." I thanked her and went to the basement. I walked through the game, entertainment and gym room door towards the basement door at the end of the hallway. I pressed a button on the door and waited.

"Name.." The electronic voice said. "Antonia Berry Avilia." Series of locks being unlock and the door opened. "Welcome back Nia..." The voice said again. I entered the basement and looked around. There's no sign of my Mother. "Mama..." I called out. No respond. Then I went to a table mark 'POISON'. Damn. My Mother sure have weird collection. "Nia?" I turned to see mama at the far end. "What are you doing here?" "I want to asked you something." "Follow me." I nodded and follow her to one of her collection. Guns. "Is that new?" I pointed at old looking gun. "Yes. I bought it at some auction for 10 million." I gasped. 10 million for some old Russian Roulette?!

"This is not a normal gun. It once belong to a king himself." I watched as she put it on a display case. "What it is you want to ask me..." I clear my throat. "Well... How to make a virgin fall in love with you." Mama looked at me with questioning looks. "Did you just asked me how to make a virgin fall in love with you?" I nodded. "Woman? Man? If man you should ask your Mommy." I shake my head. "Girl. 16 years old. And you know her." "I do?" Mama placed the display case on a table and turned to me. I nodded. "You met her today." She think for a second and finally getting it. "Emerson?" I nodded again.

"How about Ann?" "She knows. I told her. She's my Best Friend." Mama sit on a throne like chair that she also bought at an auction. She patted on her thigh and I sit on it. We always do this when I was a kid. "Remember when you dated Stella? How did you swayed her with you sweetness and smooth move?" I chuckled. "Mama... Of course I do. Seriously I brought her on a yacht." "Yes but she's not rich. Emerson is. She's used of that stuff. Think outside the box. To get a rich girl, you have to think like that. To woo her you have to me smart and Creative." Mama said.

"How did you woo Ann before?" "I didn't." Mama turned her head to me. "What do you mean?" "I didn't woo her. I just like 'hey. Let's have sex.' And she said 'sure' and boom we did." Mama shake her head. "Be romantic for god sake!" She smacked the back of my head. "Ow!" I yelled and rubbed my head. "Help me then!" Mama looked like she's thinking of something. "How about just be yourself. Make her laughed. Show her you care. Don't show that you have the money and wealth. Trust me, she have more. Show her you sincere about making it official." I nodded. Be sincere.

Suddenly I felt mama lifted my body up in bridal style. "Now. Let mama rock this big baby to sleep!" I laughed. "Mama! Stop it." She laughed at my struggling way to free myself. "I forgot to tell you about the purpose of the gala. Well that's why I'm there for the first place." "What is it?" Mama smiled. "It's part of a launch party for Avilia Airlines." My eyes widen. "Seriously? You took my idea?!" "Yes! It's my birthday gift for you. Happy early birthday baby. Well not that early. It's next month right? How old will you be?" "Sweet 18!" She really took my idea!

"Do you know what it mean Nia?" I looked at her confused. "You will have to challenge your Cousin Marsha." Mama laughed. "What do you mean?" Mama let me down. "Christ Airlines." Now I get it. "Our business associate, Allesandra Larove, is one of our investor and business partner. Be careful when you around them please." I laughed. "Mama I'm always careful." She looked at me. I looked at the time and excused myself. "I have movie night at the Larove." "Alright. Have fun." I was about to walked but I turned to meet mama again. "I want to borrow one of your bikes."

"Sure. Just ask for the keys from the one of the Drivers." I smiled and thanked her. I went to my room and get ready for the night. I went to my iPod and put Lady Gaga - The Queen on repeat. I stripped my clothes off and walked inside my bathroom naked. I washed my hair and body and rinse of every soap on my body. After I'm done I looked at myself in the mirror and blow dry my hair. I admired myself at the mirror and play with my boobs a little. "If Emerson hate to see these babies, then I don't how to make her fall for me."

"Should I shave? I mean who know she want to have sex..." I decided to shave. After I'm sure I'm dry enough, walked towards my 2 storey walk in closet. I looked through everything I own and sighed. Then my eyes caught on a simple jeans. "Hmm.. Skinny jeans. I didn't remember buying them but sure." I chuckled and threw it down. It landed on the couch. Now to cover my boobs... I looked through every blouse and shirt I own. "Hmmm..." I looked at this plain shite shirt. "Prada..." Perfection. I smiled and threw it down too. I walked towards my shoe collection and wonder which should I wear.

"Maybe just the Jordan's." I pick a white and black Jordan's and walked downstairs. I pick up the clothes I threw and put it on. I pressed a button on the round table in the middle of my closet and waited for the mirrors to ascending. I opened every drawer on the table and smiled when I saw all of my make up kit. I put on a little blusher and proceed to put my eye liner and shadow. Last but not least, my matte black lipstick. "I look like Kylie Jenner..." I chuckled and blow myself a kiss. I grabbed some Dior and spray it all over my body.

I pressed the button again and walked out of the closet. I went inside my bed room and put on my watch. I searched for my phone and put it inside my pocket. I looked at myself on the mirror again and walked out of my room to the garage. "Ezra! My mothers Harley keys please." He nodded. I walked outside and waited. "Miss. Where to?" Darius, the head of security asked me. "Larove Mansion. Could you send some guys for me?" "Sure." He went to the security house and walked out with 6 guys. "Use the SUV." I said and they nodded.

Ezra ride mama's Harley and stopped in front of me. "Here yah go miss. Nice clothes." I smiled and mount on the bike. "Thanks Ezra. And if a guy name Toby came, just threw him out. Thank you!" I said and ride my bike towards the Larove Mansion followed by two black SUV...

*LAROVE MANSION*

I parked my Harley near the front door and the guys just park near the security post of the Larove Mansion. Ann opened the door for me and smiled. "She's asleep. Don't be so disappointed." I chuckled. "You know me too well." I walked inside and this mansion never failed to make me gasped. "Don't gasp. You've been here before." Ann always love to ruin every scene. "Where's the others?" "Clare picking Pete Sister. My parents, in Michigan, grandmothers, I think they both in their rooms. Emerson is asleep." "Wait. Clare and Pete Sister going steady?" Ann shrugged.

"I have no idea." I look Med at my Best Friend. "How's your relationship with the college dude?" "It's over." "Wait?! When?" "Few days back. He said he need to be with someone mature." I stopped my Best Friend from walking. "Wait! HE?! I thought a she!" Ann chuckled. "It's a he! I told you millions of time." "Well fuck him. He doesn't deserved you." Ann smiled. I jumped on the couch and reached for the remote. After the amount of time I've been here, I know everything where it is by now. I pressed a button and waited for the TV to appeared from inside the wall.

Ann came back with popcorn and fried chicken. "Drinks?" I asked. "The Maid will send it in a minute." I grabbed handful of popcorn and shoved it inside my mouth. "What movie are we watching tonight?" I asked with my mouth full. "That's very lady like Nia. And we're going to watch 5th wave." I chuckled. "Why?" "No idea." We both laughed. We were into watching FreakTown cartoon when we both heard a loud yawn. "Ann..." Is that Emerson wake up voice? Damn. So sexy! "Yes Ems?" "Here." She handed her phone.

"Oh. Hi." I wave at her. I studied what she wore. Loose shirt and shorts. I smirked when I can see a little lining of her Friend. Emerson noticed and covered herself. "Nia.. Stop looking at me like that." "What... I'm your girlfriend." I chuckled. "Emerson... Who sent this?" Ann showed me. "I don't know." I read the text and I feel my blood boiled. I scroll down a read what this person send to her. "This person will die." I said. "Relax Nia. Emerson, anyone been bothering you at school?" Ann asked. She shrugged. "Some girls."

"What girls?" I asked. "No idea." Emerson went to sit next to Ann. "Emerson. Maybe it's time for you to be... Strong. I know you promised Mom you wouldn't be like before but... This is getting out of hand." I am now wondering what happen before. "I'll think about it Ann." Ann smiled. "Good." Ann and Emerson smiled at each other. I continued to watched the show...

*MOVIE NIGHT*

"Hey Adelaide." I smiled at Peter's Sister. She smiled back. "Hey Nia. We have same class right?" I nodded. "Chemistry and English." Clare appeared out of nowhere and smell Adelaide's flowing brown hair. "Smell like cherry. I miss you already." I smirked. They both will be official soon. I noticed Adelaide look around. "What is this room?" She asked. "It's our screening room. Usually for us to see live feed for something but today we will use it for movie night. Our home cinema being renovated."

Carmen and Larissa walked in. "Hello girls..." We all smiled at them. "Grandma. This is Adelaide." Carmen and Larissa shake her hand in turns. "New Bae?" Carmen asked. Adelaide blushed. "Will be." Clare said. Emerson walked in. "Sorry. I was getting the movie from my laptop." We all seated. I watched as Emerson went to set up the movie. When she's done she was about to sit next to Ann when I grabbed her and force her to sit next to me. "Ow! Seriously Nia.. My butt hurt."

"I could kiss it to make it all better." I smirked. She pushed my head away and pressed play. The movie started and they all too engrossed. Not me. I've seen this movie before. Chloe G Moretz too hot in this movie for sure. My focus was on Emerson. If only she just wrapped those muscle arms around me. Now that's a movie alright. She suddenly turned and looked at me. "Aren't you watching the movie?" She whispered. I shake my head. "I am watching a movie and it's you say the star." "That's so cheesy." I chuckled but being shushed by Ann.

I watched the movie a little and sighed. It's the part where Casey and Sammy took some water from the river. I leaned in to Emerson. "Hey. If this happen to us, what will you do?" "Kill all of those aliens." I was surprised by her statement. I looked at Clare and Carmen. They both hugging their partner with so much love. I wish Ann was near. I could hug her. Emerson here is so clueless. I sighed and diverted my eyes to the huge screen. I was laughing alone when the army started to kill every adult in that little house when I feel someone arms around me.

I turned to see Emerson wrapped her arms around my shoulder. By reflex, I put my head on her shoulder. Being this close I actually could smell her scent. It's indeed Polo. "I noticed how you looked back at my grandmothers." She whispered and I smiled. We continued to watched and I laughed when Casey and Evan had sex in the car. "I mean seriously. It's Armageddon and they having sex." I said out loud. They all laughed at my comment.

Hours of watching, it's finally the end. I stand and face everyone. "So. My question is... Will Casey have an Alien baby at the sequel?" They all laughed and shake their heads. Ann went to my side and grabbed Emerson. "Clare.. Adelaide... Join us in Emerson's room. We will have a ladies night." Clare nodded. Ann said and grabbed my hands and walked towards the door. "WHY MY ROOM?!" Emerson yelled. "Because yours bigger that ours!" I smirked. "What are you planning Ann?"

"You want to know her secrets yes?" I nodded and Ann smirked. This will me interesting...
