Sterling Estate (discontinued for reconstruction)

Chapter 4:For better or worst

By the time the dinner had ended Rae and Dylan were quarreling about who gets to spend time with Evealyn next. Marianne and Percy had already made their way back to their rooms at this point. Leaving them to it, not wanting to get in the middle of their little debate. Evealyn doesn't really seem to mind wanting to spend a little more time with both of them to get to know them better. However the twins see it differently as they both want time to her for themselves.

"Listen, you had her all to yourself when you went to get her. All I'm trying to say is that it's only fair if I get some one-on-one time with her next." Rae says trying to prove a point but Dylan doesn't find what she's saying makes any sense.

"You're not making any sense there as I was only with Evealyn for about 2 minutes until you came up there in a huff." Dylan says refuting her, feeling like he's talking to a child.

"What do you mean 2 minutes? That was ample time, you know what?" Rae marches over to Evealyn standing really close making her feel uncomfortable.

"What do you say to Evealyn, wouldn't you want to have a sleepover, you know just us ladies?" Rae asks, wanting her to be the mediator to bring the final decision.

Dylan scoffs at what she was insisting, finding it funny. "Don't you think you're too old to be having sleepovers? And besides, when was the last time you've been a lady?"

Dylan finds that she's being childish for wanting to cut him out like this. "Really Rae a sleepover what are you five, besides you're anything but a lady."

"No one is ever too old for sleepovers. Also what would you know about being a lady? You couldn't even get one to look in your general direction." Rae says

"You know I could, I just don't care to try." Dylan says having not interested in the matter.

"Be honest with yourself, you just know you'll get rejected the second you even breath in the direction of the opposite sex."

Dylan finds this topic interesting in fact unsure how it turned from spending time with Evealyn to talking about his love life. Never really having any interest in one to begin with. Finding this debate rather childish and pointless.

"Believe whatever you want, it's no use talking to you anyways."

Evealyn is confused as to what this conversation has turned into. Not remembering how she got stuck in the middle of it as they keep jumping to different topics. Quite interesting to say the least how this debate of theirs is unfolding. However she feels rather drained yawning as she feels her body starting to get a little heavy.

"Could you both wrap up this little debate, I'm tired. Rae let's go with having a sleepover. Dylan we can get to know each other better some other time." Rae is ecstatic that she was chosen looking over at Dylan with a smug look.

Dylan on the other hand rolls his eyes. Although he's not particularly happy with Evealyn's verdict he complies to her wishes. "Okay then some other time. I'll take that as a promise."

Rae wrapped her arm around Evealyn's dragging her up the stairs. Evealyn feels as though her whole arm was shot by an arrow of ice, wondering why her hands are so cold. Also coming to note that tug on her arm is very strong for someone who seems like they weigh less than a sack of flour.

Evealyn is only freed from Rae's grip, once stopping at her room. Entering through the door Rae becomes amazed by the decor and the underwater feel of the room. Eyes shimmering like the blue crystals as the light bounces off of them. It felt to her like that time she and Dylan went to an aquarium with their parents. Yet this felt even better as instead of watching from behind glass it felt as though she were in the actual water itself.
