Chapter 1

POV; CHLOE

Ding ding.....is the sound i heard as i was busy behind my parents' la tienda's counter trying to sketch out the photoshoot plan for the MET fashion magazine. My parents sometimes employ me and my brother Tylon to help around the la tienda every time we're free, and on my side its mostly when i come back from school and the other days when i ain't at MET where am doing my internship for my sophomore year in fashion. It's such and always a pacific moment everytime i'm helping mom and dad out at the shop, but it's only wen my son of a gun brother and his best friend Liam aren't around to tease and nag me around. It's such an annoying feeling every time I sight on the two of them, but I can,'t deny the fact that I'm getting used to their quibble because it's been ten years of the friendship which means I have endured ten years of it. And as I said, it was a Pacific evening for me, not until I heard the sound of the opening door, which revealed Liam and Tylon, who came in yammering about their basketball game.

'So boys, how was the game?' Dad asked Liam and Tylon as he ascended the ladders to fix in the new bulbs as he gestured towards me to bring the other box with the new bulbs he had brought.

'Well, it was quite a game dad' said Tylon

'Such a beautiful ending mr. Bently' added Liam as he smirked at me. I really hate the truth that I feel cross looking at Liam's ravishing face and masculine features despite that he and Tylon tease me, but at the same time i feel sparked by Liam in a way I don't understand. I know he and my brother like the fact that I can't stand the two of them and it therefore worries me to to think that I might be smittened by my brother's best friend.
