Author's POV :
It was a fine summer day in Boston, engulfed in the warm rays from the sun, a mansion near the sea was filled with laughter.
Jasmith's POV:
"You are like a baby!!! how old are you dad? 16?" I said pouting at my dad who was resting his head on my mom's lap. It's Sunday so we all are at home. All? I mean my dad, mom, my annoying brothers Joshua and Jaden. My mom selects the best menu possible for Sunday lunch and she never fails to surprise us.
After devouring the delicious lunch it's been a habit that we all rest in the comfy sofas in our patio by the beachside. Dad and mom sat down together in one sofa and opposite to them was Joshua and Jaden. I sat on a beanbag next to the sofa where mom was seated.
Dad is always clingy when it comes to mom. I looked at the giant beast of Desmond Industries feared by many laying on a sofa like a panda next to the love of his life. My mom, the epitome of true beauty is an architect and interior designer who majored from Cambridge University. She met dad while doing her Masters back in London during an internship. Young Sebastian was hiring a consultant to design his dad, Desmond De Vos's (yep it's my grandpa Desmond henceforth it's Desmond industries) office in London while he met Clara Hans, the intern who was sent by the consultant for work and rest is history;)
"My turn!!!" I exclaimed and came close to mom's lap trying to rest my head. Seems like dad had no plans on moving so I slowly placed my head at the side and started pushing dad from my head. I almost made half of the space in her lap when I felt an equal pressure coming from the opposite. "Dad!!" I whined. "Hey hey it's ok I've got two hands so calm down you two" mom said in between her chuckles. "Pft... Pft..." said Jaden. "Dad daughter issues" that was Joshua with a fake dramatic accent.
Though they never look the same but share the exact idea at the same time makes me pretty much annoyed sometimes, they are jealous!
"Honey I'm going out with Audrey tomorrow, Paul's birthday is around the corner and she needs to plan the party. I'll be gone for the entire day and won't be attending the meeting with your team for the project" mom spoke while caressing our heads. "Hmmm... ok... " dad sighed with pure disappointment on his face. "is everything alright?" mom leaned down and asked while turning dad's face to her. "Nah it's just that I'll miss seen you at work. I even made my slot free so I could attend the meeting"
I scoffed, this old man can't get enough of his wife. At the same moment, considering mom's soft moans I hear on days I pass their bedroom to take Juno (my pet husky) out to pee, made me reconsider my statement on thinking dad is old. I live in the center of the mansion with my parents and Joshua occupies the left wing while Jaden lives in the right wing.
"Stop being clingy Mr. De Vos and I was thinking Jas, baby could you attend the meeting for me?"
I jerked and took my head off from her lap, giving her a "really?" look. Dad runs the Desmond Industries which was inherited by grandpa while mom started her own company after been a consultant architect and interior designer till she was pregnant with Joshua and Jaden. She made it to the news creating a significant designer boutique hotel in LA for Desmond's which lead her to stand as an icon in the field. I joined NYSID (New York School of Interior Design) and completed my Masters in Cambridge just like mom.
I came back to US after completing my studies three months ago and yes Juno is one of the graduation gifts from dad. Ever since I came back, mom traced ways to make me join the company but I was so determined to work on my own.
"Baby" dad spoke breaking the silence. "It's ok to help mom after all she too needs someone by her side, you are free to make your own name but could you please help this old woman to keep track on her work and manage it?"
"OLD woman ahhh" mom spoke while pulling dad's ear with a fake tone that exhibit anger. Dad pulled her hand towards his lips and wasted no time kissing it.
Staring at them I spoke finally, "OK, but only this time, and..... I would think about joining MBC (Magnificent by Clara yep my mom's business) " I confirmed with a low tone.
"Sun is surely rising from the west tomorrow" said Jaden dramatically.
Mom kissed my forehead while I hear a "ehemm" from dad whose now demanding sweet nothings from mom.
......................................................................................
It was evening when mom said she'll give me the project plan and necessary documents which I need to go through before the meeting. Jaden and Joshua left about an hour ago while dad was seen in his office room. "It's gonna be a long day Jas so buckle up and show your best gig"
Nathan's POV:
"Damn Dad stop making me feel like an amateur. I'm 28 not a baby" I splashed my arrogant nods on dad and looked at mom for support who was seated next to dad laying her head on his shoulder. " David don't tease my son like that, we all know he can excel in whatever the task he get" Dad brushed his lips on mom's head and smiles glaring at mom from top "momma's boy I see" he says teasingly.
We have been discussing about a project which dad recently initiated with Desmond industries and MBC. Dad recently handed over his company Olcott cooperation upon my arrival from Australia. I studied at Monash completing my PhD in business analytics and now working my ass off to show dad that I'm capable of handling his precious second baby (I'm the first of all duh) without help.
Talking about myself I have my ways to convince people and I ALWAYS win. I wanted to be completely independent since a teen so decided to go far away from home to pursue my higher studies. I live in my villa which was built on the same land half a mile away from our mansion where my parents live. I do visit them whenever I can but not forgetting to mention I have my hobbies. Most of my time is spent at the company juggling with meetings and almost kissing the screen of my laptop while going through every deal and agreement completed by me. I'm famous for my coldness, boldness and arrogance which I knew some employees complained dad when I first started work as the CEO. Take it or leave it. This is me and I fear nothing!!!
