Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

[Samuel: Why are you always so rude to me?]

[Owen: Because your ugly face makes me puke]

[Samuel: Hey, that hurt. I am not ugly]

[Owen: Take a look at the mirror first you ugly son of a b*itch]

Samuel frowned and was about to type another message when Katheirne said, "Such a cute conversation—" She looked at him. "Do you like him?"

"What?" he scoffed and quickly locked his phone. "Are you crazy? Why would I like him?"

"Why not?" Katherine pouted her lips. "He is cute, handsome and rich."

"He is straight and so am I," he stated.

"Who are we talking about here?" Joshua wrapped his hands around Katherines waist.

"Owen Volkov." When his face turned pale, she chuckled, "So you still haven't met him?"

"Not yet." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "And I don't want to."

Leaning closer to Joshua, Katherine inquired in a very low voice, making sure Samuel doesn't hear them. "Do you think he still remembers?"

When he nodded, she nervously bit her lower lips. She would never forget how Owen had bumped into them at the ladies room a couple of years ago. That incident was at the top of her 'Most Embarrassing Things' list.

"Why are you both whispering?" Before they could answer, Samuel pulled Katherin away from Joshua. "Before we start talking about other things, I want to set some ground rules between the two of you."

"I don't care for how long you both have been dating and how intimate your relationship is but as long as you are under my roof, learn to keep your hands and lips by yourselves," he stated.

He then looked at Joshua. "Don't forget that she is my little sister, I don't wanna see your hands all over her all the time, especially when I am around. Is that clear?"

"Y-Yes sir," Joshua obediently nodded.

Satisfied with his answer, Samuel said, "Good, I'll go and rest now. You two must have a lot to talk about. You can talk here, in the living."

He glared at the two of them and warned, "With your clothes on. Is that clear?"

When they nodded, he quietly went to the room, leaving them behind.

After making sure Samuel was gone, Joshua and Katherine looked at each.

"So what do you wanna talk about?" Katherine took a step towards him.

"Hmm, I am not sure if I wanna talk or—" He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Maybe we can keep the talking for later."

"I kinda like that plan."

[Five Days Later]

[London]

After checking out of the hotel rooms, the two couples gathered in the lobby as planned but Owen and Edward were nowhere to be seen. This was the last day of their vacation and they had an early flight to catch.

The eight days they stayed in London, the two couples had rarey stepped out, especially Andrew and Rachael.

Even though Rachael wanted to go out and spend some time with their friends, Andrew was completely against the idea. He kept tricking her in the web of his handsomeness, which always ended with her giving in and him taking advantage of her vulnerability. And the times he actually agreed on stepping out was only after they both were satisfied.

Glancing at his watch, Justin frowned, "Where are they?"

"Relax, I think they just overslept or something," Elsa remarked.

Just then Andrew came back. "I just checked, Owen and Edward checked out early this morning."

"What?" Justin took out his phone and called Owen.

"Dada—" Edward ran towards his father and hugged his legs while Owen followed him behind.

"Hey you—" He squatted down and picked him in his arms. "Where did you go early in the morning?"

Waving his phone at Justin, Owen asked, "Why are you calling me? Dude, I am right here. Are you crazy after staying inside the room for such a long time?"

Justin: " "

"Dada look…we got matching tattoos." The little one extended his tiny arms and shoved it right in front of Justin's face.

He then looked at Owen. "Dada…show yours."

Owen chuckled and extended his arms. "When we were out yesterday evening, we saw this really cool place where they made temporary tattoos." He smiled and tickled Edwards' tummy. "This naughty one wanted us to get one…I couldn't say no."

"What's up with the matching outfit?" Rachael chuckled. Both of them were wearing spongebob shirts and shorts.

"We bought it the day before yesterday," Owen answered.

"Dude, you look very weird," Andrew remarked.

"I know right? You clearly can't pull spongebob off," Justin added.

Owen: " "

"Don't say that." Rachael smacked Andrew's arm. "You look very cute Owen, don't listen to them."

"Yeah dada—you look like a hot chick," Edward remarked.

Justin and Elsa: "  "

Andrew and Rachael: " "

Owen: " "

[Elisberg City, Samuel's apartment]

"When are you coming home?" Samuel inquired as he stepped into the elevator.

"I am still with Josh but I'll be back before dinner," Katherine answered. "Is that fine?"

"Hmm, but be careful. You are still young to get pregnant," he remarked.

Katherine: " "

"What did I tell you that day?" Without waiting for her reply, he added, "Always use protection even if it's the safe time."

Keeping quiet for a while, she snapped, "Brother, I am eating a corn dog. If you keep talking like this, I will surely throw up."

"What? These are important things that you need to know," he stated. "You grew up with two guys, no women. That means, someone has to talk to you about these things—"

"I think you and brother Igor signed me up for sex-ed class for a reason."

"Yeah but still. Anyway, be careful and come home fast."

After hanging up the call, Samuel unlocked the door and stepped in.

….

[Inside]

As soon as he entered the apartment, he saw someone sitting on the couch with a drink in hand.

Without saying anything, Samuel tossed the keys on the table before walking towards the kitchen. He then poured himself a glass of wine before walking back to the living room.
