It was in the middle of the night, and Stella stayed in Brandon's room. She fell asleep while hugging him, "You smelled so nice!" Brandon whispered at her. Brandon couldn't stop himself from staring at her because of the beauty that he missed. "I am the one for you and not my brother, I'm really sorry! I'm so sorry if I was an asshole!" He added and caressed her face. Stella felt someone was touching her face and smelled something unfamiliar. Even though she didn't want to open her eyes, she did and saw Brandon looking at her intensely. Blood ran into her head, and she immediately stood up from the bed. "Dang, I'm sorry!" She said and left the room. She was catching her breath when she returned to her room, "What the hell!" She told herself and shook her head to make herself alive. "Did I just kiss him back?" She asked herself again and slapped her cheeks lightly. "What the!" She rolled on the bed and tried to forget what she did. "Yeah, that wine did this to me!" She told herself and tried to focus on the ceiling. "I will just sleep and forget everything that happened earlier. "She added and nodded her head. Stella fell asleep again, and it was already noon when she woke up. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and gargle a mouthwash. "I can remember what I did last night!" She said and tried to throw punches in the air. "I should get together and act like nothing happened." She said and tried to calm herself. She left her room and went downstairs, "Oh! Hi, princess!" Daisha appeared and smiled at her. "I want coffee!" Stella told her sister, and Daisha rolled her eyes at Stella right away. "Make your own— "Maybe she has a hangover so you should make your sister a coffee!" Darrel appeared, and Stella agreed with him. "You are right, Darrel!" Stella said and smiled at her sister. "I didn't know about that, okay!" Daisha answered and started walking into the kitchen. "Brandon left early!" Darrel started a conversation with Stella, "Maybe he needs to go home as soon as possible." Stella answered and felt happy when she heard that Brandon was not there anymore. "But he told me that he will come back here later." Darrel added, and Stella immediately looked at him. "Really? He said that?" Stella asked him, and Darrel nodded his head. "Yeah, so I decided to have a barbecue party later." Darrel answered, and Stella couldn't say anything. Daisha appeared while carrying a cup of coffee and gave it to Stella. "Here's your coffee, princess!" Daisha teased her sister, and Stella accepted it. "Thank you so much for your kindness!" Stella told her sister and gave her the sweetest smile. "I will just get some fresh air while enjoying my coffee!" Stella added and walked into the main door. "Something happened between them last night!" Daisha immediately told Darrel when Stella left the living room. "And what is it?" Darrel asked her too, "I don't know and I don't care!" Daisha answered and smiled at him. Darrel nodded his head and offered his hand to her, "Should we go to the gym?" He asked her, and Daisha held his hand. "Let's go!" Daisha answered, and they went to their room. Stella was sitting on the bench outside and saw a lot of mortals starting their day, "What a nice— "Good afternoon!" Stella couldn't take a sip of her coffee when Brandon showed up. He was sweating a lot and looked like he went for a jog. Stella froze in her seat and looked away, "Why are you drinking coffee in the middle of the day?" Brandon asked her and wiped his sweat. Stella didn't say anything and took a sip of her coffee, "I know that you can hear me, Stella!" Brandon told her and sat beside her. Stella immediately stood up when she felt Brandon's skin, "Bye!" She said and walked into the house. Brandon smirked while shaking his head, "She remembers it!" He said while watching Stella leave. After a couple of minutes of resting outside, Brandon saw Daisha and Darrel leave the house. "Where are you going?" He asked them, "You should behave while we are not at home." Daisha warned him, and Brandon nodded his head. "Yes, madam!" Brandon answered and saluted at her. "We will be back before dinner." Darrel told him, and Brandon gave him a thumbs up. "Enjoy your day!" Brandon told them, and they went to the garage. Brandon decided to take a bath and went inside the house. He went upstairs and couldn't find Stella anywhere. He knocked on her door, but no one answered so he went to his room. After taking a bath, he went in front of her room and knocked on the door. No one answered again, so he decided to open the door. Stella wasn't there, so he went downstairs. "Where the hell is she?" He asked himself while walking around. Stella stopped walking when she reached a fast food place. She went inside and fell in line, "What should I eat?" She asked herself while looking at the menu. "New here?" A guy talked to her, but she didn't answer him. "Are you free later— "You didn't wait for me!" Brandon showed up and put his arm around Stella's shoulder. The guy immediately left, and Stella removed Brandon's arm from her shoulder. "How did you find me?" Stella asked him right away, "I followed your scent!" Brandon answered and smirked at her. Stella shook her head in disbelief, "Be mortal here!" She told him. "Do I look like a wolf to you?" Brandon teased her, and Stella rolled her eyes at him. The staff asked them for their order, "What do you want? It is my treat!" Brandon told her, and Stella immediately gave her the order. They looked for a table and waited for their order. "I want to apologise— "Let's not talk about it!" Stella stopped him right away, which made Brandon glare at her. "You don't want to talk— "I already told you, stop!" Stella stopped him again, and Brandon didn't have a choice but to agree with her. "Fine!" He said and looked away. Stella took a deep breath and didn't try to talk to him. Their order was served and they started eating their food. They were in the middle of eating their meal when a young boy approached them, "Mommy!" The young boy immediately hugged Stella. "Dang!" She whispered and looked at Brandon. Brandon froze when he witnessed a young boy called Stella as his mother. "Hey, I am not your mommy!" Stella told the young boy, and he started crying. "No! You are my Mom!" The young boy told her, which made Stella stop. "What should I do?" Stella whispered to Brandon, "I don't know! Make him stop crying!" Brandon answered, and Stella couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes at him. "Stop crying!" Stella told the young boy, and he immediately stopped crying while nodding his head. "You want some?" She asked the young boy while showing him some fries. "Yes, Mommy!" The young boy answered, "Dad, I want some fries!" The young boy added and looked at Brandon. "Go get some, Daddy!" Stella teased him, and Brandon didn't have a choice but to stand up. He ordered another set of meals for the young boy. "What is your name?" Stella asked the young boy, "Bryce!" The young boy answered. "So, where was the last time you saw me?" Stella asked him and tried to bring him back to his parents. "There!" Bryce answered while pointing outside. Stella looked at that place and no one was there looking for him. Brandon came back and gave the food to Bryce, "Thank you, Dad!" Bryce told him. "No problem!" Brandon answered and caressed his hair. "You should eat first!" Stella told the young boy, "How can we— "Let's talk about it later!" Stella cut what Brandon was going to say. Brandon nodded his head and looked at Bryce. After eating their meal, they decided to go outside the fast food place. "Where are we going now?" Brandon asked and looked at Stella. "Is there any park here?" Stella also asked him, "Yeah, just go there!" An old woman appeared and pointed out a place. Stella nodded her head and thanked the old woman. "Are you going to believe her?" Brandon asked her again, "Yep!" Stella answered and held Bryce's hand. They were walking until they reached a park, "You just need to trust them!" Stella said and ran with Bryce. "She already looks like a mother now!" Brandon said while watching Stella playing with Bryce. "Come play with us!" Stella yelled at him, and Brandon nodded his head. They played with Bryce until dark came, "We should bring him back to his parents!" Brandon whispered at her while watching Bryce playing alone. "Nah, no one will look for him!" Stella answered, which made Brandon look at her. "How did you say that?" Brandon asked her right away, "He was left on purpose!" Stella answered and looked at him. Brandon lost his energy after hearing those words from Stella, "Are you sure about that?" He asked her again because he couldn't accept that. "Yeah, I saw a note in his pocket." Stella answered and gave him a note. Brandon got it and looked at Bryce first before reading it, 'I dump him because I can't raise him anymore.' He read the note and ruined it, "What the— "He will hear you!" Stella stopped Brandon from cursing, "How can she do that to her son?" Brandon couldn't explain his feelings after reading the note. "You already read the reason. I will keep him!" Stella answered, which made Brandon startled. "Hey, how about your father?" Brandon asked her, "I will defend him against my father! I already made up my mind, I will keep him!" Stella answered and walked into Bryce. "But— "Just trust my decision." Stella told him and stopped walking. Bryce noticed Stella's presence near him, "Mommy!" He yelled and ran into Stella. Stella opened her arms to hug him, "Let's go home!" She said, and Bryce agreed with her. They started walking, and Bryce held Brandon's hand so they could walk together. They were walking until they reached Darrel's house, "Finally— who is that?" Daisha immediately asked them while pointing out the young boy. Stella held her finger and put it down, "Don't do that! He is my son!" Stella answered, and Daisha was startled at her answer. "Dang! Can you hear what you are saying, huh?" Daisha asked her again, and Stella nodded her head. "Yep, Bryce say hi to your Aunt Daisha." Stella said, and Bryce waved his hand to Daisha. "Hi, Aunt Daisha!" Bryce greeted her, and Stella instructed her sister to greet Bryce back. "Hello, Bryce!" Daisha greeted the young boy and waved her hand at him. "Let's go inside!" Stella said and held Bryce's hand. They went inside the house, and Darrel saw the young boy. "Ohh— "Let's talk about it later!" Stella stopped him, and Darrel nodded his head. "I will just prepare the meat for our barbecue party." Darrel said and went to the kitchen, "I will help you!" Daisha said and followed him into the kitchen. Stella went to the living room and helped Bryce to sit on the couch, "You should help them!" She said and looked at Brandon. "Oh! Yeah, I will!" Brandon answered and nodded his head. He went to the kitchen and saw Daisha talking to Darrel, "So explain now!" Daisha told him right away. "Let's just wait, Daisha! Your sister told us that we will talk about it later." Darrel told her, and Daisha didn't have a choice but to agree with him. They started putting the meat on the stick and went outside. Darrel prepared the grill and started grilling the barbecue. Daisha was helping him, and Brandon prepared the table. "If you don't mind, I will invite Flora and Tyros here!" Stella appeared and asked permission to Darrel. "Sure, do whatever you want!" Darrel answered and smiled at her.
