Chapter 11: Hugo
What on earth is going on here?Townie: Someone's kicking someone's butt.
Yeah, can kinda see that. Who is behaving so appallingly?Townie: Umm, I can't quite see who it is...
Oh....errr. I think I might know who is causing the ruckus.Townie: *Gasp* It's your Alessandro Watcher! Good grief! What a terrible watcher you must be!
Alex: Next time you won't be walking away lady.
Kiddies I think it's time you went home.Lucus: Watcher, I think you might need to ground Mr Rastelli.
And another thing... you can totally stop grinning at me like that. I'm being serious.Alex: What? She needed showing who the boss is.
There are other ways to stamp your authority, or whatever it is you seem to be doing.Alex: What I'm doing is working. You don't know what I'm facing watcher, seriously, drop it.
I will drop it today as we have a busy day lined up but soon, when I am ready, you and I will be talking.Alex: *eye roll* Sure.
Yuki: Thanks for inviting us to your birthday Hugo.
Hugo: Thanks for coming! Are you alright Mrs Rastelli?
Candy: Ooo, oh yes I'm fine Hugo.
Yuki: Sis is having a baby Hugo!
Hugo: *embarrassed* Oh, lovely.
Yuki: That's hilarious Dee!
Hugo: I can't believe I fell for that! lol
Hmm, everything seems under control there. I wonder what everyone else is doing.There you two are, whatcha doing?Max: We're just comparing techniques watcher.
Alex: You're doing great Max.
*Suspicious* What are you doing so well Max?Max: It's Club business watcher. I can't tell a non-club person.
Brian, why are you standing in front of... oh no. You haven't.Brian: Oo the adrenalin, hmm hm, feeling on fire watcher!
Good grief. I can't believe you swiped from a child!Brian: Well, in all fairness Max is really demon spawn.
Lol, well, he is a handful, I wouldn't quite go that far though.Alex: Thing is you have to stick to your principals, right. No disappointing your family, or betraying their trust, right?
Max: Right.
Alex: And don't betray The Club. Pretty simple stuff, get it right and your life will be uncomplicated.
Candy: Well hugo, time for the cake.
Hugo: I wish dad was here.
Yuki: Me too Hugo but he would be proud of how well you've done in school eh.
Candy: I agree, your dad would have been so very proud.
Everyone: Happy Birthday Dear Huuugoooo....
Max: One day I'm gunna be just like Mr Rastelli.
A little later after everyone was back home.
Candy: So have you thought about what you want to do for you birthday?
Yuki: Kinda, hmm, no not really actually.
Candy: Well, do you want to throw a party here with close friends or do you want to do something else?
Yuki: Maybe we could start here and then move onto the nightclub?
Candy: Sounds a great plan sis.
Alex: How are you love?
Candy: Good, nearly finished this... just needs a little more color here.
Alex: You're not doing too much are you?
Candy: No hun, I'm not, seriously. I feel great.
Alex: Ok, just checking.
Alex: Hi little fella, hope you're being good to mummy now.
Candy: Awww, lol so cute Alex.
Alex: You callin' you big, strong handsome hubby cute?
Candy: If you keep that up I'll call you anything you want. Ooo, ahhh, that feels so good.
Alex: Come and sit down for a while love, rest your feet.
Yuki: I don't think I want a party after all watcher.
Really? Why not?Yuki: I'm not ready to age up. I don't like it when things change.
But.. nothing is really changing, just you'll be a little older and will be able to make decisions all for yourself.Yuki: I hadn't thought about it from that perspective.
*Nodding* I know, right. Being a young adult is fun, still young enough to party up and just old enough to be independent. A win-win in my book.Yuki: Cool! You've talked me into it watcher.
Nice.
