Chapter 31_ Family’s day out 2
Arya’s silky hair cascaded down her shoulder, she raised her head in surprise..
“What was that for?”
Kyle widened his fingers and snapped the band before her..
“Ray let’s go down” He murmured and led Ray out of the room..
Arya blinked back in surprise and stared at the closed door..
“What is wrong with him?”
.
.
Ray turned to his dad with a frown, Arya wasn’t here yet and the driver already started the car..
“Arya isn’t here yet daddy”
Kyle sighed “Well she can catch the nearest bus there”
“then I’ll go with her” Ray declared and was about to hop down when Kyle reached out to him..
“Alright fine!”
Few minutes later Arya hurried out of the building and entered the car..
“I’m sorry for you keeping you waiting”
Kyle gave a nod to the driver and soon after the black Rolls Royce drove out followed by two other cars..
Mia popped out of her hiding place with a smile on her lips..
“He pulled it off! he’s really a smart kid”
She got into one of the cars that was parked outside and slowly tailed behind them..
.
.
Vanessa opened her door and was surprised to see Lora standing outside with her luggage..
“Lora?” she stepped back giving Lora access into the house..
Lora walked in hurriedly and dropped her purse on the sofa..
“Can I stay here for a couple of days?”
“Yeah but what is wrong? I thought you were staying with Bryan”
Lora hissed out, she face palmed herself “Bryan and i broke up”
Vanessa sat down opposite lora and picked up her glass of red wine..
“I knew this wouldn’t last baby girl”
Lora creased her brow, she stood up to her feet “What? you’re my friend Vanessa”
Vanessa dropped her glass back on the side table next to her sofa..
“I never denied that, Bryan and Chad are known as the biggest playboys the country has, you should know this”
Lora breathed out and slumped back down on the sofa..
“I thought I was the one.. I thought I was the one to change him.. and he’ll eventually fall for me”
Vanessa rolled her eyes and walked over to Lora, she pulled Lora into her embrace to comfort her..
“I’m sorry babe, what really happened between you two?”
Lora sniffed back, her eyes darkened when she recalled who ruined her relationship..
“He cheated.. with Arya’s friend”
Vanessa narrowed her eyes down at Lora.. that name sounded familiar to her..
“You mean that bloody cook’s friend?!” Vanessa barked..
Lora nodded and cried out loud, she had really put all hopes in her relationship with Bryan.. she was even more hurt when he didn’t stop her when she tried to leave..
Vanessa placed both hands on her hips.. “Come on Lora don’t cry over spilt milk, Bryan’s numerous breakup shouldn’t be a thing to cry about”
“I love him Vanessa.. I really do”
Vanessa walked back to sofa and picked up her phone..
“One sec Lora.. yes, what information are you talking about?”
Lora wiped her tears with a napkin, she noticed Vanessa’s change in expression..
“Is everything alright?”
Vanessa averted her gaze to her before she threw her phone back on the sofa..
“Arya managed to convince Kyle to go to the amusement park with both her and that little monster”
Lora was marveled at the news.. well that was new.. a very rare headline will be on the news paper tomorrow..
“Wow! is she that good?”
Vanessa stomped her feet on the ground “You know she’s not! even Ray hasn’t been successful in doing that”
Lora stared down at her palm, those two friends are something else..
“So what are we going to do?”
Vanessa smirked “I don’t know about you.. but I’m going to the amusement park”
.

Martin picked up his phone and raised it to his ear..
“Yeah?”
His lips slanted, he tapped his table slowly with a finger..
Dennis was curious to know who the caller was..
“Thanks for the info.. keep me updated I’ll be there soon”
Martin rose up to his feet and was about to leave when his father stopped him..
“Who was that? and where are you off to?”
Martin ran his hand through his hair “I’ll be at the amusement park”
Dennis had a confused look on his face, they were in the middle of a crisis..
“The amusement park? have you lost it son?”
“Look dad, I never asked you to steal funds from Kyle, you did that yourself, I’m only trying to help you here…”
“And by going to the amusement park you’ll be of great help?!” Dennis fired harshly..
Martin picked up his keys and left the study room, if he stayed any longer, he might lose his cool..
.
.
Ray was overjoyed when they were finally granted access into the park..
“Yay!”
Arya noticed the weird glances, she turned back and face palmed herself..
“Woah! you can’t come into an amusement park to scare away people with those!” She spoke calmly to the guards who were tailing after them..
“I instructed them to do that” Kyle imputed..
Arya rolled her eyes “Of course! who else could have done such? Mr Anderson, this is a public place meant for fun.. you’ll only end up scaring people”
Ray stood in between them and watched the both of them argue back and forth..
His gaze trailed off to others around, he saw kids of his age running around happily with their parents and here he was..
“Enough!” He yelled at them..
“Daddy please tell your men to drop their weapons, Arya is right you know?”
Kyle nodded to them and they returned back..
“Happy now?” Kyle asked scornfully..
Ray smiled at least he got them to keep quiet, he took hold of his dad’s hand and Arya’s hand..
“Wow.. it’s huge!” Ray exclaimed
Kyle swallowed hard as they stood before the roller coaster..
“Are you sure you want to ride that Ray? it looks dangerous” Kyle murmured..
Arya leaned closer to Kyle “Are you perhaps scared Mr Anderson?”
“Daddy isn’t scared Arya.. he’s never scared of anything”
Arya shrugged, she could see the discomfort written on Kyle’s face..
“If you say so”
Mia watched them from a distance, she clicked her camera and smiled at the outcome..
“Perfect!” She exclaimed and was about to leave when she bumped into a cotton candy stand..
“Oops!”
“Watch it young lady!” The vendor yelled out which caused most of the families to turn their attention to them including Kyle and Arya..
Mia gasped and adjusted her scarf and sunglasses, she took out a dollar bill from her purse and handed it to the vendor..
“I’m really sorry” she whispered and sneaked out of there…
“Phew! that was close”..
Ray stared at the back of the lady who just created a scene, he had a strong feeling that he knew her..
“Arya before we get on the ride can I have cotton candy?”
Arya nodded and led them to the stall..
.
.
Arya and Ray tapped their feet patiently on the ground waiting for Kyle who went to the men’s room..
It’s been over twenty minutes and he still wasn’t out, Arya suddenly chuckled, Kyle’s expression all throughout the ride was so expensive..
“Daddy isn’t out yet” Ray murmured..
“Ah! there he is”
His face was looking pale and few water droplets rolled down from his face.
“You took so long daddy!” Ray scolded..
“There was a long line in the restroom” Kyle said hurriedly..
“Really? or it’s something else?” Arya teasingly asked which earned her a glare from Kyle..NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Ray held their hands and pulled them away to the next ride available before they start with their endless fights..
Mia slapped her camera really hard “Stupid! why won’t you click?!” She yelled in a lowered tone..
She turned around and bumped into a lady who was in a hurry..
“I’m sorry” the lady apologized while staring down..
Mia found her voice really familiar and tried to take a look at her face which was covered in dark sunglasses and face cap..
“It’s okay”
Almost immediately the lady sprinted out of Mia’s sight..
“Such a weird lady”
.
.
Vanessa’s eyes scanned through the surrounding that was lively..
“how will I find them in such a large place?”
It didn’t take long before she heard Ray’s loud laughter..
She snapped her gaze to their direction and almost coughed out blood..
Her fists tightened in anger, she turned back when she heard a few kids laughing behind her..
She crotched down to her knees with a smile “Hey kids.. how about you do something for me in exchange for a tasty snack?”
