And the twins I’ve only loosely met until now. “These are my two youngest brothers,” Marius introduces me to them. “The sunnyboy here is Felix.”
“Very funny,” Felix comments, but laughs brightly.
“Don’t let him fool you. He is a mischievous brat,” Marius says with a grin. “And this fabulous young man here is Dario.”
“So, I’m the mischievous sunnyboy, and he is the fabulous young man?” Felix asks. He doesn’t sound like he is bothered though.
“It’s nice to finally meet the both of you,” I say. “I’m Celine.”
“We know,” Felix grins. “Marius talks nonstop about you when he is here.”
Marius looks flustered while I smile at that sudden bout of information.
“It’s an honor to finally meet you,” Dario says quietly. His expression is much more serious than his brother’s.
Actually, they don’t look like twins at all. Felix is tall and athletic, with slightly curly blond hair and tanned from the hours he probably spends outside. His younger twin, Dario, seems to be more reserved. He is a bit paler and not as tall; his hair is dark brown. The only thing they share look-wise are their blue eyes. These two look like opposite sides of a coin.
“Felix is probably the most sportive of us all,” Marius tells me. “He loves surfing. He and his friends travel hours to be at the sea and then surf for a few hours. And Dario…” he squeezes his little brother’s shoulder. “Is probably the smartest of us.”
Dario looks flustered. “I’m not the smartest. I just like to study and read.”
“He is super smart,” Felix backs him up instantly. “There is nothing he can’t do!”
“You are exaggerating,” Dario says, but he smiles when he looks at his twin brother. They seem to be pretty close. Soon they start chatting between themselves. They are still in school and are looking forward to their summer break. It seems like Felix went on a date recently, and Dario helped him with his styling. When Felix tells him about how he heard one of the girls saying they have a crush on him, Dario shrugs it off though.
Dario is a bit of an introvert,Marius links me.He isn’t shy, per se. He just likes to… to keep to himself.
Are you worried?I ask him.
I thought that Calvin… maybe…
I nod.
But Calvin admitted to all his misdeeds, and he didn’t mention Dario.
A psychopath like him would have rubbed it into your father’s face for sure,I agree.Had he done something to one of your siblings.
I guess something else is troubling him,he says.
He is your little brother.I point out.I know you didn’t mingle with your siblings a lot, but you can always change that. Just spend some time with them. I think they would be happy.
“Celine!”
I turn around as the voice rips me out of my silent conversation with Marius. “Annie!” I can’t believe she came. I thought she and Liam might rather stay at home because she might be going into labor any day.
I hurry towards her and hug her. “I thought I might not see you today,” I admit.
“Liam and I are only staying for lunch, then we will head back,” she says. “How does it feel to be mated into the Alcott family?” she asks with a grin.
“Surprisingly chill,” I laugh.
“I know, I thought the same.”
Before we can chat any more Flora waves at us and calls us towards the table. Once sitting down next to my mate, I realize my family has just grown vastly, and my life has gotten so much richer.
