Chapter 37

 

 

Beck Oliver’s POV

 

Me: USA?

 

Tori: yes please… We need you there. We’ve missed you for too long Beck. Please let’s reunite our family again

 

She had sat up and was holding my right hand

 

She’s right. I’ve been away for too long. And she’s been a single mom. Something she doesn’t deserve to experience

 

Me: I’ll come back only on one condition

 

She sat with her legs crossed on the chair and her hands were now on her thighs. She was ready to hear what I was gonna say

 

Tori: what’s that?

 

Me: are you sure you’re gonna do it?

 

Tori: I promise you I’ll do anything. As long as its in my power

 

Me: I don’t think you would

 

I stood up and took a handful of the popcorn on the table. She stood up too

 

Tori: Beck please tell me

 

I walked towards her room to open the door for Tessa so we would go to our house

 

Tori pulled me back

 

Tori: Beck…

 

I poured all the popcorn into my mouth so I couldn’t talk

 

Me: mm-mmm

 

She frowned and pulled my hand then hurried to the kitchen. She brought me before the sink and turned on the water. She pulled me down over the sink and hit my back really hard that I had to scream and the popcorn poured out

 

Tori: make sure you rinse your mouth and stop joking with me

 

She huffed and left the kitchen. I smiled and took in the running water into my mouth. I rinsed off all alien particles from it then turned off the water. I opened the fridge, took a bottle of water, gulped it down and threw the bottle into the trashcan under the counter

 

I came back to the living room and saw Tori changing the TV channel. I walked to her and held her waist then leaned my chin on her shoulder

 

Tori: you’re not gonna tell me the condition?

 

Me: promise me you’ll do it

 

Tori: I promise

 

Me: okay, please tell Jade not to kill me when I arrive. That’s for running away

 

She laughed heartily. I guess she wasn’t expecting that

 

Me: are you going to tell her?

 

Tori: I could call her now

 

I turned her around and drew my face nearer to hers

 

Me: I have an idea for tomorrow

 

It was a gentle whisper and I was looking at her straight in the eye

 

Tori: what?

 

I looked at her lips

 

Me: let’s swim na.ked…

 

Her eyes widened then she chuckled

 

Tori: no way

 

Me: why?

 

She just looked at me

 

I chuckled

 

Me: those two right? How should we get rid of them?

 

Tori: Beck!

 

Me: hahahaha

 

I pecked her lips and took her hand

 

Me: let’s go out and talk

 

Tori: it’s a cold night

 

Me: you need a jacket? Your room is having a prisoner

 

 

Tori: maybe we should just let them out

 

Me: I’ll go for Benedict

 

Tori: and I’ll go for Tessa

 

We went to the rooms and knocked.

 

The two opened immediately like they were waiting for us

 

Since the doors were opposite each other, Bene could see Tessa.

 

Tessa: hi Bene

 

She waved

 

Bene : hi Tessa… It’s nice to see you again

 

Tessa: same here Bene

 

Me: okay… Can I come in?

 

Bene : sure dad

 

I stepped in and closed the door

 

Me: wow, I’ve never been in your room

 

Bene : yeah you haven’t

 

I sat at the end of the bed and he sat opposite me

 

Me: so what have you been doing?

 

Benedict: YouTube videos

 

He showed me his laptop. I smiled and looked around the small room. Same size as Tessa’s room here.

 

 

There’s a skateboard leaning against the wall, a guitar, two roller blades, a shoe hang with about fifteen different pairs of shoes, a wardrobe which was opened and displaying all the clothes

 

Wow, Benedict does have a good life compared to what I had at his age

 

Me: you know, when I was your age.. I had two pairs of shoes. One for church, the other was casual. I used the casual one for a long time till it got really worn out and I had to start wearing the church shoe.

 

Benedict : that’s awful. You really had a rough childhood

 

He closed the laptop and shoved it aside then sat up facing me

 

Me: it was awful. And fun. I had friends and we had lots of fun

 

Benedict : Andre was part of them

 

Jeez, that reminds me. I haven’t asked about Andre yet.

 

Damn, buddy’s gonna be so so angry with me

 

Me: uhm Andre came up when I was fifteen though. The friends I’m talking about is when I wasn’t a teenager yet

 

Bene : do you know where they are now?

 

Me: I haven’t seen any of them in years. But before I left Canada, I know Samantha went to study in Japan

 

Bene: Samantha…

 

He looked at his foot. I smiled, should I tell him who exactly Samantha is?

 

Me: Samantha had a crush on me back then

 

He looked up at me

 

Bene : are you for real?

 

Me: yeah… She even framed me up… By kissing me falsely

 

Should I be telling this to a ten year old?

 

Bene : that’s funny… Samantha’s are always like that

 

Me: you know a Samantha?

 

Bene : yeah somehow. This show I acted in, there was a character named Samantha Boston. She was the type that forcing herself on cute boys only. I acted as her kid brother who collects money from her whenever I catch her with a guy

 

I chuckled

 

Me: I’d really love to watch your movies

Bene : I’d really love it if you act one with me. Mom said you were one of the best acting students back in high school

 

Me: well, yeah I was

 

Bene : and the best dancer… She said I got that from you

 

Me: you can dance?

 

Bene : yeah… Check this out

 

He opened the laptop, pressed the keypads and turned it to me

 

Bene: all these are my dancing videos

 

He opened one and he was in the middle of some teenagers. They began to dance to a song that I don’t know

 

I used to know all dance songs then. Now I really need to start over

 

Me: wow, you’re good

 

I smiled at the video.

 

This kid is really good

 

 

Me: I couldn’t even dance some of the steps you’re dancing at my age. You’re really good Benedict

 

Me: thanks dad

 

He showed me the video of the concert here in Mexico.

 

A girl at the front row shouted I LOVE YOU BENEDICT while he was dancing.

 

Lots of banners were raised with his name and picture on top.

 

Can’t believe this boy is this popular

 

Me: I’ve never been so proud. Why the heck did I stay off while my family was making waves?

 

He laughed

 

Bene : you would have been so popular if you had entered into the movie industry. Jo Peterson and the likes would do anything to act as your girlfriends in movies

 

I ruffled his hair

 

Me: you know too much

 

He laughed and laid down on the bed. The door opened and Tori’s face popped in without her body

 

Tori: it’s pretty hot outside

 

Me: outside?

 

Tori : yeah. I thought it was gonna be a cold night but it isn’t. The heat is still up outside

 

Tessa’s face popped up beneath her, still without her body

 

Tessa: so who wants to jump into the pool?

 

Bene : I’m in

 

Tori: Beck?

 

Me: if Bene’s in, then I’m in

 

Bene stood up and pulled me up.

 

Tori and Tessa chuckled and looked at each other.

 

Wait, this two are planning something

 

 

Tori Vega’s POV

 

Beck entered Benedict’s room.

 

Me: well, may I come in?

 

Tessa: you needn’t ask

 

I entered and smiled

 

Me: so what have you been doing all alone?

 

Tessa: I just finished my popcorn and watching Barbie on my phone

 

I sat down on my bed

 

Me: you like Barbie

 

Tessa: I love Barbie…. So much

 

Me: I don’t think you loved it like I did…. I used to spend the whole sleepover with

 

my friends and I watching Barbie or Winx Club. And Disney princesses. Well, with one of my friends actually. Jade would never watch them

 

She chuckled and sat beside me

 

Tessa: I haven’t really watched much. Because everything was done undercover

 

Me: so tell me about your dreams

 

 

Tessa: I would love to be a singer

 

Me: really?

 

Tessa: yes. Just like you

 

I smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear

 

Tessa: and I wish I could live in Los. I heard the place is legit

 

Me: Beck and I already talked about it. You guys are coming with us to USA

 

Tessa: oh my God! Wow!

 

She was smiling brightly

 

Me: I’m so happy to have you guys with us. It’s gonna be hot

 

Tessa: you know what I’m really happy about?

 

Me: no, tell me

 

She kept her legs on the bed

 

Tessa: you’re gonna be my mom. The mom I never had

 

Me: awwwn, come here

 

I pulled her into a hug

 

Me: don’t worry, I promise to be the best mom ever

 

Tessa: and I promise not to be too stubborn

 

I chuckled and kissed her forehead

 

Me: it’s really not cold outside right?

 

Tessa: yeah. It’s a warm night

 

Me: why don’t we play a prank on Beck and Benedict

 

 

Tessa: what should it be about?

 

 

Benedict Oliver’s POV

 

 

I stood in front of the mirror and banded my hair back. I was already wearing what I could use to swim so no need to change.

 

Dad had gone to change and I think mom followed him.

 

I heard a faint knock on my door. I opened and it was Tessa

 

Me: hey Tess

 

Tessa: there’s something I have to tell you She was whispering

 

Me: what?

 

Tessa: mom and I kept a water cooler into the first pool. That’s ours. Now that pool is very cold. Very very cold. So when dad is coming, she’s going to push him in and he’s gonna feel so so cold. It’s a prank

 

Me: OMG. That is the best prank ever. I’m so in on it

 

Tessa: good. Just don’t tell mom I told you

 

Me: okay

 

She winked and tiptoed away. I chuckled and closed my door.

 

After waiting for five minutes, I left the room and went outside. It was really a warm night.

 

The lights from the house were reflecting on the water and it gave it a turquoise blue color

 

Mom and Tessa were arranging some cookies on a tray on a table and I could see some drinks stuck into a bowl of ice

 

 

Me: it’s really a warm night

 

Mom : yeah… Why don’t you stand next to the pool? You and Beck should use this first one

 

She was pointing to the cold pool

 

Me: no, I’ll wait for him first

 

I sat on a stool and took one cookie

 

Mom pulled down her hair and removed her room slippers.

 

Dad came out of the house

 

Dad: hey guys

 

I stood up

 

Tessa and I : hey dad

 

We were chuckling quietly, waiting to see what was going to happen

 

Mom went to him, making sure he didn’t leave the poolside

 

Mom: guess what I’m gonna do now?

 

Dad: what?

 

Mom: push you in!

 

She pushed him and as he was falling, he grabbed onto her hand and they both fell in

 

Tessa and I screamed loudly and jumped up Me: mom just got a taste of her own medicine!

 

Dad: why is this pool like the one in the North Pole?

 

Tessa: it was a prank mom brought up and she fell in it

 

Mom: OH my God! I’m freezing cold already

 

Tessa: let’s help you out

 

We walked to them and we each took their hands to help them out.

 

Well wrong move because they pulled us in. We screamed as our bodies made contact with the ice cold water.

 

Me: how did you guys make this water so cold?

 

Tessa: I feel like my skin is burning. The cold water is burning me

 

We laughed.

 

Dad splashed the water on us and we screamed and splashed back. It was all splashing, despite we were gnashing teeth

Tori Vega’s POV

 

 

Instead of taking our iced drinks, we decided to take hot tea instead. Thank God I have tea bags here.

 

Gosh, I can’t feel my fingers

 

I hurried to my room and took a hot shower. I would have had a hot bath instead but I gotta go make tea before Beck and Tessa come back.

 

I wore my white big thick and large sweeter. It was big enough for two people and had red lips portraits all over it. I blow dried my hair and went to the living room. Bene was already seated, in a big winter coat

 

Bene : I just thank God I brought this

 

He raised his hands up halfway

 

Me: haha… Let me go and make tea

 

I made tea and left it in the kitchen. I came to the living room and met Tessa wearing a sweater

 

Me: where’s Beck?

 

Tessa: still looking for something to wear

 

Me: really? I’ll be right back

 

I left through the back door and entered the house Me: Beck?

 

I walked towards the rooms

 

Me: Beck!

 

Beck: in here

 

His voice came from the first room, I opened the door and saw him standing in front of the wardrobe, shirtless

 

Me: hey

 

I closed the door. He didn’t look at me

 

Beck: hey

 

I gently walked to him

 

Me: Tessa said you were finding something to wear

 

Beck: yeah. I brought just one sweater and I gave it to Tessa He then turned and looked at me

 

 

Beck: whoa

 

I lifted up my arms

 

Me: wanna share?

 

He chuckled and wore a shirt then entered the sweater

 

Beck: this place is warm… I like it

 

He kissed the back of my neck. His hands were on my waist

 

Me: mister, bring one hand out before your hands ravage my body I pulled in my left hand and he brought his out

 

Beck: my right hand can still do the job you know I chuckled.

 

We went to my house comfortably like we weren’t sharing anything.

 

Immediately the kids saw us, they began to laugh.

 

Tessa’: you guys are so cute you know

 

Benedict : yeah… But funny

 

They laughed again.

 

Beck moved his hand to my tummy and I squirmed. He chuckled softly Beck: let me take a picture

 

He brought out his phone. Tessa stood behind him

 

I raised my hand to my eye and did the Victory sign without smiling

 

 

Benedict : hey mom, why frowning like that. Can’t you look cool, like dad? You look scary

 

Me: shush! Just take the picture already

 

He took the picture

 

Beck pinched me and I squirmed again

 

Me: dude stop turning me on!

 

Bene and Tessa : WHAT!

 

Oops!
