Aadesh sat comfortably with his girl (Sophia) wedged in-between his legs on the carpeted floor watching TV. The assignment papers scattered at their feet.

"I'm glad we have this chance to have some time alone" Sophia chimed in looking at her boyfriend with a wide smile.

"I am too. I haven't had a chance to have you all to myself" Aadesh replied with a cheeky grin.

"Sometimes you sound just like your twin" Sophia snorted.

"Don't tell him I agree with him but I am half of him" Aadesh replied with a shake of his head.

Sophia could only roll her eyes at him as Aadesh bent his head down to lay a sweet kiss on her small lips. They continued to kiss getting lost in the moment till the sudden kicking from the door broke the spell.

"AADESH OPEN THE DOOR!" Eva and Adil yelled in union.

"Shit what are they doing back so early?" Aadesh whispered as Sophia quickly got off him to sit on the floor arranging the papers.

"Doesn't matter just go!" Sophia whispered back hastily.

Aadesh stood up swiftly from the ground stumbling to the door. He unlocked the door to see his brother and cousin balancing take away plates in their hands.

"Bro can you move aside before we drop the food? What took you so long to open the door?" Adil complained. Aadesh stepped aside for the duo to rush into the house heading for the kitchen. Aadesh closed the door behind them and went back to the living room.

Sophia sat cross legged writing notes in her notebook from the papers on the floor. Aadesh sat down beside her grabbing his own notebook and began to scribble down his own notes.

Eva walked past the living room not expecting to see a pretty girl sitting with Aadesh on the floor.

"Why study on the floor? Why didn't you use the coaches?" Eva questioned stepping into the living room.

"We preferred to sit on the floor. More leg room" Aadesh lied with a nervous smile directed towards Eva.

"Oh really?" Eva asked with narrowed eyes.

"Of course, he wants to study on the floor it's much more comfortable. Hi Sophia" Adil chimed in walking into the room.

"Eh it's comfortable and comfy" Aadesh replied sheepishly.

"Hey Adil. Well to back up ba- I mean Aadesh it was more preferably to have the papers on the floor to have more space. That is all and nothing else" Sophia said with a pointed glare aimed at the smirking Adil.

"well ignoring their silliness. Have you had anything to eat?" Eva asked the younger woman politely.

"ah no I've been too busy focusing on the work" Sophia replied with a sheepish grin.

"well I can get you some snacks since my baby cousin hasn't been a good host" Eva replied.

"because they were so busy sucking each other's faces to care for food" Adil snickered quietly to himself.

The teens secretly dating both leveled twin icy glares to the unbothered Adil still busy snickering.

Eva gave the younger teens a raised eyebrow but didn't bother asking the question brewing in her mind. She turned around walking out of the room to the kitchen to put some of the unpacked treats on a plate and tray.

"you fool! You almost revealed our relationship to Eva" Sophia snapped to a smiling Adil.

"She will find out eventually. She isn't the type to judge the both of you than Daadi finding out and stopping it completely." Adil shrugged his shoulders.

"I wish you'd think with your head sometimes" Aadesh snapped at his brother.

"I wish you'd think more with your heart" Adil retorted back irritated.

"Don't argue you two! Not in front of our guest please" Eva said coolly strolling back into the room with a tray of desserts and glasses of iced water.

Adil still full of the food he had earlier watched his brother and girlfriend eat the treats. The group indulged in small talk for another thirty minutes till Sophia left.

"So how was the party?" Aadesh asked gulping down the sugary sweet liquid from his can of coke cola.

"It didn't exactly go well..." Eva trailing off to explaining the whole incident.

"wow a fight broke out? Afro dude beat his own blood? Didn't expect his skinny body to be able to throw a wicked punch" Aadesh replied impressed by the story.

"We weren't there to see it happen but by the whispers it did not sound good" Adil added wincing.

"But forgetting about the fight. I can't believe you spoke to Paul McCartney!" Aadesh exclaimed with awe struck eyes.

"He isn't a celebrity you two. He is a regular human being" Eva replied with a roll of her eyes at their fanboying antics.

"of course, he is human to you but a legend to us simpler beings" the brothers replied simultaneously.

Eva couldn't help but roll her eyes at them again as the trio continued to talk about other things in peace. But at the back of Eva's mind she wondered how Michael was doing.

In the intervening time Paul had arrived back to the Jacksons home an hour later to see that majority of guests had left.

Paul steadily walked into the back garden to notice Marcus sat in one of the chairs holding an ice pack to his bruised lips. He felt the rush of anger rise in his chest gazing at the pitiful fool. He marched in the direction of the injured man.

"How's the cut on your lip Marcus? I'm sure it will heal in no time" Paul drawled sarcastically.

Marcus gazed up when he heard Paul's statement giving him a heated glare in response.

"you can't talk Marcus? That is such a shame. My buddy should have made sure to leave your lips busted for a while" Paul spat coolly.

Marcus counting sheep in his mind to try calm his slowly building anger till he heard the last insult removed the ice bag from his lip to defend himself.

"I did noot askz forr yourr comentary! (I did not ask for your commentary) Sheez you werre not eve-n there! Don't smack talk you albino fuckwer" Marcus spat enraged.

"Truly is that the the best you can do? I already know I'm a pale and it's sad you're so insecure in your own skin" Paul replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Why you--!" Marcus growled before he was interrupted by the shrill voice of Janet.

"Cut it out Marcus! You've made enough trouble today!"

"Will you shut the fuck up? No one was asking for your words little girl" Marcus hissed as he placed the ice bag on his lips.

"no manners or dignity. Apologize. Now" Paul commanded sharply.

"I'm sorry" Marcus grumbled looking away from the younger man.

"Now that's done Janet. My second woman closest to my heart. Shall we check on your brother?" Paul said to a giggling Janet.

The pair walked off into the direction of the house going inside and walking up the stairs to Michael's bedroom.

As they drew closer to his room they heard the painful protests from Michael and Aunt Jay hushing him for his childish behavior.

"Ouch aunt jay! That hurts" he whined flinching away from the soaked alcohol cloth dapped on his swollen lip and eye.

"now buddy let Aunt jay do her job. She is a certified nurse" Paul said announced his presence strolling into the room and deciding to sit by Michael. While Janet went to stand by Aunt Jay's side holding the first aid box.

"I'm glad to see your back Paul. Now baby please stop moving away" Aunt Jay greeted him before focusing on Michael.

"Auntie Jay Paul confronted Marcus" Janet said as she shuffled though the first aid box.

"why would you do such a crazy thing Paul" Aunt Jay asked not taking her eyes off a squirming Michael.

"I just couldn't help the sudden anger in my heart for that idiotic fool. I don't know what came over me" Paul admitted sheepishly.

"I did witness him calling Paul an albino and that was awful thing to say. I tried to stop it he went further on to snap at me!" Janet explained angrily

"now Janet baby ignore Marcus and don't allow his words get to you. He clearly has inner demons that needs to be addressed. Did you drop Eva and the boy home safely" Aunt Jay responded.

"I did indeed and don't worry your girl is safe at home thinking of you buddy" Paul responded cheekily.

Michael blushed looking away from his family members and Paul all sharing a hearty laugh from his embarrassment.

The rest of the day was spent packing away the leftovers into the fridge and cleaning the house after Paul left late at night after helping.
