Sunday, November 12 (Update)

Guess what? When I said I needed to take a nap, someone interrupted my plan even before I closed my eyes shut!

Mom: "Heather! I have some unexpected news to tell you!"

Heather: "I'm trying to take a nap! Tell me later!"

Mom: "No, Heather! It's really important! Let me in!"

Heather: "I can hear you perfectly in here!"

Mom: "Fine... You know your uncle, Hugo?"

Heather: "Yeah. I never met him, but you constantly keep talking about him? What about him?"

Mom: "He left London and is now coming and staying here for a few weeks-"

Heather: "Come in my room, now!"

My mom opened the door and seemed like she was so excited! She then sat beside me on my bed.

Heather: "Uncle Hugo is visiting us from London?"

Mom: "Yes, he's taking a vacation after his concerts-"

Heather: "Concerts?"

Mom: "He's a singer!"

Heather: "Really?! How come I never hear him on the news or on radio or something?"

Mom: "I hear him plenty of times on the radio and even in television!"

Heather: "That explains... I barely pay attention to the television when I have Internet... Anyway, when's he arriving?"

Mom: "He's already in the airport! I asked Emilia to pick him up with her car."

Heather: "I'll go with her! I want to meet him on the spot!"

Mom: "Get ready then! I'll tell Emilia you're going with her alright?"

Heather: "Thanks, mom."

~15 minutes later~

Emilia: "You're ready to go?"

Heather: "Yeah!"

Emilia: "Great! We don't want him waiting much longer!"

Me and Emilia both entered her car, started the engine and exited the driveway to go to the airport.

o(｀ω' )oo(｀ω' )oo(｀ω' )oo(｀ω' )o

~In the car~

Heather: "So... Did my mom ever mentioned to you about uncle Hugo?"

Emilia: "A lot of times! Your mom is very proud of him being successful as she is. He's the youngest in the family."

Heather: "How old is he?"

Emilia: "Thirty, I believe hearing."

Heather: "Ever met him?"

Emilia: "Never. This is like a treat, seeing the infamous Hugo that your mom keeps taking about."

Heather: "I know! She can't stop talking about him!"

Emilia: "Haha..."

Heather: "Did you ever seen him on television? I want to know how he looks like!"

Emilia: "Sorry, no. I heard him sing on the radio though. He has a wonderful voice!"

Heather: "Oh. I'll try listening to him sing when he's at our house..."

Emilia: "Trust me, you'll like his voice."

Heather: "But wait! How are we suppose to know how he looks like when we're going to pick him up?!"

Emilia: "Your mom gave me a pic of him, that should help."

Heather: "You checked it yet?"

Emilia: "Nope, we'll just check at the airport. Besides, I really want to see him how he looks in person without checking a photograph."

Heather: "I'll play along."

When I looked at the highway, I saw a sign saying we'll arrive at the airport in fifteen minutes. I can't wait seeing him!

Emilia: "Alright, kiddo, I see you want to ask one more question?"

Heather: "Yeah, is he taken?"

Emilia: "How am suppose to know?! That's a kind of a private question to ask..."

Heather: "Are you in a relationship, Emilia?"

Emilia: "Really?"

Heather: "Last one, I promise."

Emilia: "Nope... I'm single, ready to mingle."

Heather: "You deserve to be with someone!"

Emilia: "Thanks, Heather... But, I don't think I'll find someone sooner or later."

Heather: "We'll see..."

~At the airport~

As we entered, we both already noticed someone that we can call, a Hugo Vanzetti. Red hair that resembles like my mom's hair color, good looking, wearing an expensive suit and expensive eye glasses.

Heather: "Don't you think that's him?"

Emilia pulled out the picture my mom gave her and started comparing the resemblance between the picture and the young man.

Emilia: "That's definitely him."

Heather: "It was pretty obvious, I mean look at him! He dresses like a celebrity!"

Emilia sighed deeply, like she was nervous meeting him and turned to me.

Emilia: "Ready?"

Heather: "Yeah."

Emilia: "You can go first, I'll catch up."

I started walking, then I ran to him so I can get this over with. As I approached him, I observed him for a little bit, until he caught on what I was doing...

Hugo: "May I help you...?"

Heather: "Hugo Vanzetti...?"

Hugo: "Seriously, if you're a fan of mine's and you're going to ask for an autograph-"

Heather: "Whaa...? No! If you're actually Hugo, we're here to pick you up by the name of my mom!"

Hugo: "Your mom? Ohh... You're Heather am I right? Daughter of my sister, Kate?"

Heather: "Yes. That's a nice introduction you had for me, uncle Hugo..."

Hugo: "Uncle Hugo?"

Heather: "Yes, you're my uncle, so I have to call you that."

Hugo: "That sounds... Weird."

Heather: "Get used to it."

Hugo: "Alright, then... Um... Did you come here alone?"

Heather: "No, Emilia drove here to pick you up, but I came along."

Hugo: "Where is this 'Emilia' person then?"

Emilia: "It's me, sir."

Since we heard Emilia's voice coming from the back, we both turned around to face her.

Hugo: "That's great, if you don't mind, would drive us to the Williams' Residen-"

Hugo didn't finish his sentence. I guess the sight of Emilia made him stop. He removed his glasses for a minute and into his aqua eyes, his pupils were dilated and I have an idea on what that means ;)

Heather: "Uncle Hugo, this is Emilia Frascella. Emilia, Hugo Vanzetti."

Emilia: "I-it's really a pleasure to meet you, sir."

He was still stuck in flabbergasted mode and it got pretty awkward really fast...

Heather: "Uncle Hugo...?"

Hugo: "What? Oh... Oh! Yes, it's a uh... Nice being acquainted with you, Miss Frascella."

Emilia: "Emilia is fine, Mister Vanzetti."

Hugo: "No, Hugo is fine... Emilia."

She blushed a little bit. It wasn't too visible, but can I see it being the love detective I am.

Emilia: "Oh my god! I'm terribly sorry we didn't go as soon as possible! I'll take your luggages-"

As Emilia touched his luggages, Hugo accidentally landed his hand on her hand to make her stop what she was doing. Both of them blushed (OvO)

Hugo: "I'll take care of it."

Emilia: "But... I mean, you traveling all the way to London... It must've been tiring-"

Hugo: "Don't you worry about, I'm not tired, really!"

Do you guys here that? It's the sound of a new ship name, rising from the ground! #Hulia :3

Emilia: "If you say so... But! If you do need help, let me know, okay?"

Hugo: "Alrighty."

Emilia: "Right this way, Hugo."

I stayed beside my new uncle while Emilia guided us, because I want to get to know him better.

Heather: "Uncle Hugo?"

Hugo: "What is it, sport?"

Heather: "Do you have a girlfriend? Boyfriend? Whatever your preference is?"

Hugo: "I'm straight, thank you very much and no, I'm not in a relationship at the moment."

Heather: "Okay, then... What you think about Emilia?"

Hugo: "Is she single?"

Heather: "Yup. Why? Want to ask her out?"

Hugo: "Don't! Drop into conclusions..."

Heather: "Well, if you want to get to know her better, you're in luck! She's living with us, since she's our maid."

Hugo: "She's your maid?"

Heather: "Yeah. Maid of the Williams' Residence."

Hugo: "She must've been lonely then."

Heather: "She has me! We're like sisters."

Hugo: "Anyone else?"

Heather: "My parents..."

Hugo: "Any other friends besides inside your household?"

Heather: "My friends."

Hugo: "Nevermind."

~At the car~

Emilia: "Alright, let's go."

Hugo: "Where can I sit?"

Emilia: "You can-"

Heather: "At the front! Beside the driver, which is Emilia."

She gave me a confused look. Probably, because she knows I hate sitting at the back in a car ride and now is those rare moments, I insisted on sitting at the back.

Emilia: "You sure, kiddo? You usually don't like sitting at the b-"

Heather: "Yeah, I'm fine! Honest!"

Emilia: "Okay, then..."

Hugo: "Hey, Heather. Can I have your cellphone number, if you have one?"

Heather: "Sure. If you pass me yours?"

~In the car~

1 new message from Uncle Hugo

Uncle Hugo: I see what you did there...

Me: You're going to thank me later, Uncle H

Uncle Hugo: I am. Thanks.

Me: You're interested in her?!

Uncle Hugo: She seems cool and I find her kinda cute too.

Me: You're gonna make me cry :')

Uncle Hugo: Shut up.

Me: Make me.

~Back Home~

As all of us exited the car, my mom was waiting at the front the whole time and came rushing to her little brother.

Mom: "Oh my god! It's been too long, Hugo!"

She hugged him tightly and he hugged her back. I could tell that my mom loved her sibling very much.

Hugo: "Yeah, I know."

Mom: "Come inside, everyone! Let's celebrate for the arrival of Uncle Hugo!"

Heather: "Not too late, please. I have school tomorrow! Unless, you make me skip a day, it will be oka-"

Mom: "Don't even think about it. It's never going to happen."

Heather: "I know that..."

~At the Kitchen~

As I walked in to the kitchen to take a small snack, I noticed that Emilia was busy on preparing a bater, which I suppose is a cake. A vanilla cake to precise.

Heather: "Baking a cake?"

Emilia: "Yeah, for the arrival of Hugo... Your mom wanted a cake, so I decided to bake it myself."

Heather: "You could've bought somewhere else to make it more easier for you..."

Emilia: "It would've been more special if someone they knew made it. Right?"

Heather: "I guess... Need any help?"

Emilia: "If you're not busy with anything, I would like some help."

Heather: "Sure! What you need?"

Emilia: "Can you mix the bater, while I prepare the icing?"

Heather: "Aye-aye, Captain."

She laughed and messed with my hair a little bit. I love seeing her happy, but at the same time, I feel bad that she spends most of her days in our house and has no other friends except me. I just want her to live somewhere more happy then me...

Heather: "So. What you think about Uncle H?"

She got all the ingredients to make vanilla frosting and started preparing it beside me, while we chatted about some things.

Emilia: "He seems nice and polite, just like your mom."

Heather: "Good looking?"

Emilia: "Y-yeah..."

Heather: "You know, I asked if he was in a relationship, he said he wasn't."

Emilia turned to face me in a shocked and angry-ish way...

Emilia: "Why...?"

Heather: "I like seeing people in a relationship."

Emilia: "Wait a minute... You're not doing what I think you're doing."

Heather: "What?"

Emilia: "Are you trying to pair me up with Hugo...?"

Heather: "Maybe..."

Emilia: "That's sweet of you, but it's not going to happen. I mean c'mon! Do you think a famous, good looking singer would want to go out with a maid?"

Heather: "Your position doesn't affect anything!"

Emilia: "To you! But, what you think people will think?!"

Heather: "Are you telling me you like the guy or not?"

This was the rare moments when Emilia is annoyed and irritated. She's pretty creepy when she's kind of angry...

Emilia: "Heather, I just met the guy! Why would you think I would fall in love with him that easily?"

Heather: "Love at first si-"

Emilia: "Forget about it..."

That's when someone interrupted our conversation by entering the kitchen and shuts the sliding door. Uncle H... Perfect timing.

Hugo: "Sorry girls for interrupting... I'm still exploring the place... Big place you got here!"

He started investigating what we were doing and found an analysis after a few seconds.

Hugo: "Baking a cake?"

Emilia: "Oh no! It was suppose to be a surprise for you..."

Hugo: "It's okay, I usually don't like surprises."

Emilia: "I still failed..."

Hugo: "I'll just act surprise when you're going to serve it later. It's fine, really!"

Emilia: "Alright then..."

I thought about it for awhile and I came up with the perfect getting-to-know-each-other scenario.

Heather: "Since you spoiled your own surprise, why don't you help Emilia with the frosting while I do the bater?"

Emilia: "Heather, that isn't necessary-"

Hugo: "Sure. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it."

Emilia: "Ah-Alright."

She then grabbed her cellphone and started texting someone.

1 new message from Emilia

Oh. I guess it's me...

Emilia: What you think you're doing?

Me: What are you talking about...?

Emilia: You know exactly what you're doing!

Me: Oh. You think I'm setting you up with him? I'm not! Why do you think that?

Emilia: I barely even know the guy! You can't just assume we'll be together!

Me: You will eventually. Anyway, I guess we should start going back to work before someone looks at us funny...

We both put away our phones into our pockets and started going back to our stations.

Hugo: "Were you guys... Texting to each other a few minutes ago?"

Heather & Emilia: "No."

Hugo: "That's a little weird, why not just tell each other orally?"

Heather: "The guy who sent me a message in the car, even if he can just tell orally..." *mutters*

Hugo: "What?"

Heather: "Nothing... Let's just go back to work."

I brought out my phone secretly so I can text my uncle.

Message to: Uncle Hugo

Me: Make the first move!

*Send*

I then heard a notification sound and I was pretty sure that came from him. He looked at the screen for a few seconds and then gave me a smirk. So, I placed my phone on top of the counter and started mixing the bater once again and waited anxiously do him to do a first move and soon enough, he did.

Hugo: "So, um- Emilia..."

Emilia: "Hmm?"

Hugo: "Tell me about yourself."

Emilia: "What you mean?"

Hugo: "You know... What's your favorite animal, hobbies, anything."

Emilia: "I apologize in advance if I'm going to sound stupid, since normally, no one even bothers asking about myself."

Hugo: "Don't say that! You'll sound fine, I'm really sure."

Emilia: "Well... My favorite animal should be a unicorn-"

Hugo: "Unicorns doesn't exist."

Emilia: "They do!"

Hugo: "Where are they?"

Emilia: "Living on the rainbows, obviously."

Hugo: "Everytime I see rainbows, I don't see a magical horse running on top of it."

Emilia: "Well, maybe you should own better glasses."

There was a silence for awhile, until they both chuckled a little for Emilia's joke being kind of a dumb one.

Hugo: "Okay, what else?"

Emilia: "When I finish all of my jobs as a maid, I would usually watch tv or listen to music."

Hugo: "You like music?"

Emilia: "Of course! My life wouldn't be complete without it!"

Hugo: "Well, haha, I'm a singer as you know-"

Heather: "Don't flatter yourself."

He turns around and gave me an irritated expression saying," Don't screw around with me while I'm trying to impress her."

Emilia: "Well, I-I know you're a singer. Your sister wouldn't stop talking about you."

He went back to face Emilia so he can concentrate on what she has to say. It was really cute! He's the only person I know that wants to listen on what she has to say, while other people think that she's not worth talking to...

Hugo: "Ever heard me sing...?"

Emilia: "Yeah. Your voice sounds really nice."

Hugo: "Oh, not really..."

Emilia: "Yes, you do! Trust me!"

She gave him a happy smile and jumped a little from excitement, which resulted of her grabbing both his arms. Realizing what she has done, she moved them right away and became shy again.

Emilia: "I apologize... I-I didn't mean-"

Hugo: "It's okay, don't need to apologize. It's normal to have that kind of reaction sometimes, you know?"

Emilia: "Not really... All these years, I'm trying to prefect being the ideal maid. Being loyal, professional and quick on my feet. I've been trying to be the best for them..."

Uncle Hugo then placed his right hand on her left cheek.

Hugo: "Your perfection is already achieved. If you keep on trying to be the perfect maid, you'll just end up like a robot commanding a person's every order."

Emilia: "B-but, that's what I want. Commanding every order from the Williams'."

He gave her a light smile and smirk, then moved his right hand into her shoulder.

Hugo: "But, the robot doesn't have a personality and I don't want you to become like that..."

Her sentiment seemed a little shocked and her eyes became big when he said that. She blushed a little and was embarrassed. I thought their relationship were going on the right direction.

Heather: *clears throat*

Hugo: "Oh. Heather... Forgot you're in here... Hehehe..."

Emilia moved Hugo's hand from her shoulder, embarrassed that I saw the whole thing.

Heather: "That doesn't matter right now. I've been done with bater a long time! C'mon! The cake isn't going to bake by itself!"

Hugo: "Aren't you the mood killer..."

~Half an hour later~

Emilia: "Alright, we just have to wait for cake to bake."

Hugo: "Haha, that rhymes."

She turned around to face Hugo with a "are you serious?" face.

Emilia: "Yeah... You're right. Anyway, you guys can rest or something, I'll just wait until the cake is done."

Hugo: "I have nothing better to do, can I stay here with you?"

Emilia: "I-uh. You're sure? Because, the entertainment is like watching paint dry-"

He learned on one of the counters looking at the ceiling for a few seconds and responded.

Hugo: "We can talk, about adult subjects."

She gave him a disgusted look and he was confused at first, but then he caught on on what she was thinking.

Hugo: "You're dirty minded!"

Emilia: "You made me think dirty!"

Heather: *clears throat* "I'll just, um, go? Go! To my room and give you guys some extra space, since you always forget I'm in the same room as both of you."

Before they said anything in reply, I left the kitchen and ran all the way into my bedroom.

~Diner Table~

Mom: "Thanks for the food, Emilia. It looks delicious!"

Emilia: "I'm glad you like it. Enjoy you diner."

As Emilia started walking out, Uncle H had a confused sentiment on his face and asked my mom something.

Hugo: "She doesn't eat with you guys, normally?"

Mom: "Um, no. She eats separately from us."

As she tried to leave the room, he raised his hand to Emilia to make her stop in her tracks.

Hugo: "Emilia, stay where you are."

Mom: "Hugo, what are you trying to-"

He looked Emilia for a few seconds and responded:

Hugo: "Let her eat with us, while I'm here."

Mom: "Hugo-"

Hugo: "For me! Please..."

My mom looked at me asking if I was okay with it and responded with a nod.

Mom: "Emilia... Would you care to join us?"

She was surprised with her eyes wide open and stayed in the same spot, until she broke back from reality again.

Emilia: "Y-yes, milady..."

She installed to the only seat available...
....
Beside me!

As she sat down, she felt like she's really honored to be sitting with us, like she's the part of the family, which I consider her very much. I really hope she will be eating with us for every meal of the day and that she doesn't feel like she's just our maid and that's all.

~9:00 PM~

It was time for me to go to bed. I already prepared what I will wear the next day and I was almost done putting my pajamas. When I come out of my bedroom's bathroom, Emilia already prepared my bed like usual.

Emilia: "I made you bed."

I lay down on my bed and started getting myself covered with my blanket so I can fall asleep.

Heather: "Thanks. Goodnight, Emilia."

Emilia: "Goodnight, I have to leave a little earlier to help Hugo out alright?"

Heather: "Sure. Goodnight."

As she closed the door, I quickly got up and raced to my door. I opened very lightly to not make any noises whatsoever and to see a little bit on what's going on the little crack.

Both of them was standing outside the guest room and was greeting each greeting each other a good night sleep.

Hugo: "Well, thanks for making my bed. I really appreciate it."

Emilia: "Oh, it's nothing... That's what I always do anyway..."

Hugo: "You better go to bed also then... Goodnight-"

Emilia: "Wait!"

She grabbed the back of his t-shirt insisting to stay for a little awhile. He turned around and give her a concerned look.

Hugo: "Are you alright?"

Emilia: "I-I just want to say... T-Thanks for making me eat with all of you at diner.

She started to blush a little and all Uncle did was gave a genuine smile.

Hugo: "Sure. Anytime."

Emilia: "Goodnight."

Emilia ran off to her room and Uncle H tried to extend his arm for her stop for a few moments, but decided not to. He looked down at the carpet floor for a few seconds and smiled, then he decided to go to bed, while I did the same...

Author's Note:

Sorry guys if this is a shorter chapter compare to the previous one, it's just this was my last week of school filled with tests to endure, finishing projects and giving back some works, so I couldn't really concentrate on my book that often. But, the good news is that I'm already on Christmas break and I could publish my chapters more earlier and I can concentrate on them a lot more. But as always, please vote, comment and give me feedback if you liked this chapter! Until next time!
