NovelEnglishChapter 86
A feeling of excitement bubbled through the Gomez’s, and co as they prepared to visit Pearl Harbor. That was the agreed
location for today’s tour and it had been chosen by Arianna herself. She had always wanted to go there.
Oliver paced around in his room, wondering what was taking his little Princess so long. She was supposed to show up and
discuss the plan with him before they left for the day, so what was holding her?
There was a knock on the door and he smiled, she finally came! He rushed to the door with a smile on his face, he intended to
hug her first before any other thing. She had spent the night with her mom and he was missing her dearly.
He opened the door and the smile on his face vanished as he met someone else to his disappointment; it was the vacation
guide; the young man was dressed smartly in a corporate sparkling white attire.
“Sir, sorry to disturb you, I just thought I should inform you that the car is ready, you all can join me outside when you are ready,”
he reported with his smile; that was one broad smile on his face, that guy surely was happy; but why wouldn’t he be? He had just
been booked by Las Vegas’ most wealthy CEO and one of the most prominent models in the world.
“Alright, we will round up and come out soon, thank you for the reminder,” Oliver replied and forced a smile.
“The Pleasure is mine sir,” he said and made a slight bow, then he walked off.
Oliver shut the door and walked back inside. He had not gone too far from the door when he heard another knock on the door;
this time it was gentler than the last time. He smiled immediately and walked towards it, then he paused.
What if it wasn’t her? He didn’t want to get disappointed again and the best way to do that was by being not so expectant. He
killed the excitement and tried to control himself, tried to stay neutral... and then he opened the door.
His face brightened up the moment he saw that cute round little face, those spectacular blazing eyes that reminded him of his
childhood, that smile that could light up an entire room on her face. This was something he could never get tired of seeing.
“Look who is finally here,” Oliver muttered and pretended to be upset.
out of mom’s sight, that lady holds me like I am a prisoner,” she replied and Oliver chuckled.
“It is alright my little angel, you are here now, so come give Papa a big hug,” he said and she giggled, and then wrapped her little
arms around his waist; well, that was as far as she could reach.
“Alright. Come in before the angry bird finds you,” Oliver joked and drew her in by her arm, then closed the door immediately. He
noticed that she was dressed in a jean gown that had buttons in the middle, it was quite dope.
“So... you know where we are heading today, and you know our mission for coming here, so how do we achieve our goals?
What plans do you have for today?” he queried in a whisper, like there was someone else in the room he didn’t want to hear their
conversation.
Princess Lena smiled and crossed her arms behind her back, then she walked towards the window in Oliver’s room; it seemed
like she had just entered her boss mode.
“There is no plan, daddy...” she muttered, without looking back to face him.
“Huh?” Oliver muttered, looking puzzled.
Princess Lena turned around to meet her father’s scrutinizing eyes, he was curious to know what was in her mind. She loved to
see that expression, not just on his face but on her mother’s face too. For reasons beyond explanation, she enjoyed watching
people being curious and trying to read her mind.
“Relax dad, I said there is no plan because we would be concentrating on why mother thinks we are here. You see dad, mom is
smart... if we try to make any moves today and she finds out, she would know that we had brought her here for that purpose and
she might decide to leave,” she explained.
Oliver scratched his head while thinking about her words, then he smiled. “You are right, we can’t act on the first day or she
would figure it out, she would know that this whole excuse of a holiday was just a plan to get us both back together,” he replied
while nodding.
“Exactly Dad, which is why we need to lay low for the first day, we won’t play any games or pranks to get you two together, we
Oliver chuckled and rubbed her hair, messing it up a bit. “You are so smart, I didn’t even think of that,” he exclaimed.
“Of course I know... how many times do I need to tell you that I am the smartest kid in the universe?” she scoffed and they
laughed.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. They stopped laughing and stared at each other silently. Oliver tilted his head
sideways, and Lena was quick to understand his unsaid words.
“I think it’s her, it has to be,” she replied in a whisper.
Oliver shook his head and sighed, he was excited, nervous and yet scared of facing her right now. He imagined that scary look
she has when she acts like Rosie, when she scolds him like he was some kid.
He took a few steps forward, then paused and turned back to Princess Lena; she smiled and gave him a double thumbs up, then
nodded as encouraging him to go on.
Oliver chuckled, then took a deep breath before walking to the door. He opened it halfway and came to face Aria; she was the
first person to show up at that door this morning without a smile.
“Hey,” he muttered nervously and forced a smile.
“What took you so long to get the door? It doesn’t seem like you had much going on here. Anyway, forget about that... where is
she?” Aria queried nonchalantly; she was obviously not in the mood to smile or laugh, especially around him.
“Where is who?” Oliver asked in pretense.
“Don’t try to act smart with me, Mr. Gomez,” she replied and pushed the door wide open. “Oh, there you are,” she muttered when
she saw Lena behind.
“Oooh... so you meant her?” Oliver asked jokingly and chuckled.
“Yes, I did mean her,” Aria scoffed and walked in. “You... When did you sneak off already, you could always see your dad later,
what was the rush? Now look, you already messed up your hair, it took me long to comb that to perfection,” Aria grumbled.
“Relax Aria, it won’t take minutes to have it done again, and she only came here because she missed her dad, so what is wrong
with that?” Oliver queried.
:Hmmm... Dad indeed,” She replied sarcastically and took Lena’s hand. “Now come with me,” she ordered and headed out with
her.
Oliver stood there saying nothing but just watching them. As they were about to leave from the door, Lena turned back towards
Oliver and winked at him. He smiled and nodded..
