A/N: I've decided to mention I am using the Google translator to create the Portuguese conversations. I will admit now I've probably gone wrong in places but the general gist is there so just use your better judgment and don't think me an idiot.

I also might as well mention that I have decided to post other stories I have come up with, but most likely they will stay uncompleted for a while if ever. Either way please look at them and tell me what you think. Any criticism is good criticism as long as it's constructive….. and I don't know where that came from.

Chapter 11

Chase gently lifted a hand from her shoulder as he and his passenger touched solid ground. It had quickly become apparent after her admission that Rosalita would not be able to descend the ladder herself. It had only taken Chase a moment's thought to offer his own services, forgetting for a minute that she had referred to him as a taxi. He cast a critical eye over the small girls form, noticing again the dark circles round her eyes, but he could see nothing else wrong though he knew there was. How strong must she be to endure such trials? How could she make everything seem ok with one smile?

That smile was soon bestowed on him with a nod as Rosalita stepped away, a silent thank you as she turned towards the trailers, probably to go change. As she walked away Chase found himself once again admiring her slim figure, how it gracefully weaved its way through the steadily darkening night, her costume creating a stark contrast with the shadowy surroundings. It was no wonder she was admired, no wonder she was called an angel by those that had seen her perform. Just by looking at her you could got the feeling of goodness, of happiness and peace. Like one of gods angels had fallen to earth to join the lowly mortals, spreading her own brand of serenity.

She was beautiful.

She was kind.

She was talented.

She was so much more.

Chase had seen something different to the other spectators you see. His thoughts had run so much deeper, though he couldn't explain why. He did know one thing though and that is she was an angel, but only in his world. A world filled with darkness and depression. A world where goodness was condescending and not truly understanding. An angel for his world had to understand what it was to be dark, but not so much to be completely tainted.

Rosalita had that slight taint, she could be his world's angel, but in the monks world she will only be an angel in looks alone. He had known she would have a dark streak as soon as he had heard she and the dragon of wind were twins. He wondered if they truly understood the significance in their routine that night. Did they know that twins, especially in a set where at least one has a spiritual power, is the purest form of Ying and Yang. He knew it wouldn't have been Raimundo, he was obviously light, in screamed in the essence of his power, and therefore the dark one had to be Rosalita.

Dark, never evil.

Hence she was an angel to him, but the dark steak she had, the slight darkness she admitted to, prevents her from being an angel for the other side. She did not possess the light of her brother; she cannot emulate the good virtuous woman associated with heavenly messengers. She would only be an angel by appearance to them as they would soon enough recognise the difference in her soul and understand she had a dark streak. However the monks would never begrudge her, they would still care and protect her. Raimundo would still lover his younger sister, still be fiercely protective of her and want what's best for her. He already had realised anyway, probably always knew, that his twin was slightly darker than himself, that she was the worse of the two. That was why when the dragon of wind had looked at Chase today there was more than protectiveness in his eyes. There had been fear.

Fear that he, the Prince of Darkness, would steal his baby sister away and change her. Mould her into a member of his side, a solider for his army.

He wouldn't though, for however dark she was she was not even the slightest evil. She may act badly from what he had heard, she can be rude and disobedient, but she wasn't cruel. She didn't wilfully hurt people. She had a conscious. She was good.

She had said it herself.

Dark not evil.

"Hey Chase" Chase suppressed a groan as Jack Spicer ran up to him. "Where you been."

"Walking around." He said impassively trying not to glare at the minion "Did you want something Spicer."

"N-n-no." Huh, he normally could hide his anger. "Just thought I would tell you that Rai's Grandma is making dinner. It smells really good and she is saying that everyone has to have a plate and that you have to get there know before it's all gone seen as you're a guest and saved Ros." The boy rambled.

Chase just sighed and began to walk away, ignoring the incessant prattle of the boy genius as he headed back towards where he could hear the noise of the Pedrosa Family.

"ANTON IVANOV COMO SE ATREVE A DAR O MEU FILHO DE ÁLCOOL." He walked into the clearing to see Mrs Perdrosa waving her fist after one of the fire breathers, a bottle of vodka in her other hand. To the side the man's son stood looking on ashamedly, his arm wrapped round the waist of one of the Pedrosa sisters, Antónia. A similar expression was on Raimundo's face as the other monks looked on laughing.

"Mad aren't they." He turned to see another some of the twin's siblings standing not far off. "Chase Young right." The man who had spoken had a very serious look about him, his eyes hard and accessing as he held a hand out to Chase "Rafael Pedrosa, I didn't have the chance to introduce myself before." He said as they shook hands before turning to Jack.

"Jack Spicer." The boy introduced himself.

"We know." The man replied stonily but they was a distinct hint of amusement in his eyes "Did you enjoy are palhaços performance."

"Huh" The boy genius translator still hadn't been returned yet.

"Did you like the clowns?" Chase said.

"What, oh, yeah they where good." Jack replied nervously before his eyes narrowed slightly "I will get my stuff back right."

"Não se preocupe" One of the sisters said "I mean don't worry." She amended "They'll be clean and ready for you in the morning. I'm Sofia and this is my O irmão mais velho, I mean older brother, Filipe" She indicated the boy standing behind her "Sorry, I'm not that good with different languages, I keep slipping" Her accent was stronger than the other Pedrosa's they had spoken too and was awkward with her speech. Filipe smiled at the young woman and ruffled her hair fondly.

"Prazer em conhecê-lo" Chase's attempt at making the woman more at ease worked as she relaxed upon hearing him speak Portuguese.

"What he said." Jack agreed causing unsurely with some laughter from the siblings and an eye role from Chase. "I think I'll go talk to Ashley." He walked away quickly form the scene. He was positive Chase had said something about him.

Sofia smiled up at him before telling her siblings she was going to help their grandmother serve up. "Speaking of which, where is Rosalita." She kept to English, probably unsure about how much he knew.

The boys shrugged while Chase saw no harm in answering. "I saw her head towards the trailers not long ago." Three pairs of inquiring eyes flashed towards him appraisingly.

"Did you?" Rafael said suspiciously "Then she shouldn't be long."

"Enough time for a chat though." Filipe added on before turning to their younger sister.

The oldest Pedrosa sister stepped forward as her brothers moved away "How much Portuguese do you know?"

"I'm fluent"

"Excelente"

Five minutes later Ashley was surprised to see Chase stumble towards her. She looked behind him to see the slight from of one of Rai sisters walking away towards where the food was being made. "What happened to him?" She asked aloud.

One of the acrobats next to her, another cousin Marie Satago, looked over Ashley's shoulder before waving it off. "He just has been through one of the family talks." Ashley looked confusedly at the girl. "The same thing happened to Dmitri when he started dating Antoniá. He had to get a talk from every member of the immediate family."

"So Chase has gotten one of these talks?"

"Sim" Maria said nodding before cringing slightly "And it was of Sofia. She's very protective for her sisters and younger brothers. Real mama bear." She explained "Makes sense though. They won't want to overcrowd him with too many talks but you're leaving soon. So they have Sofia do hers first as it hits hardest."

"But why did they give it to him?"

"Haven't you noticed?" The other teen asked wide eyed "He's beginning to like Ros, and vice versa."

"Yeah I noticed he seems to like her, which is really weird I might add, but it's just that. Nothing more."

"Yet" Ana interrupted coming over "That could change whilst Ros is away, so the siblings are starting it now. Making sure the warnings loud and clear. Specially as its Rosalita. No one messes with our Rosie."

"I thought she didn't like being called that."

The brightly coloured girl winked at her "What she doesn't know won't hurt her." She then shouted across the space "Ros will be here soon Avó"

"Obrigado querida" The old woman called back "Alimentos prontos" She shouted out to the clearing as a whole.

"Food" Ana squalled happily pulling Ashley up. "Avó made her special stew, it's delicious." She dragged the girl into the queue that had been started over by the food tables "You don't have no allergies do you?"

"No."

"Good" The girl smiled "You'll love it."

"So..." Ashley said unsurely "Will Kimiko be getting one of these talks."

Ana scowled for a moment catching Marias eyes. "Possibly of one of the sisters but that will be all. Hate to say it but in some ways are family's really sexist."

"Old fashioned" Maria corrected "It's old fashioned. The boys still respect us girls immensely." She snorted and shrugged her shoulders "In more ways than one were the bosses of the family." Ana giggled beside her.

"So who do you think will talk to Kimiko?" Ashley asked.

The girls shrugged "Could be any of them, all four are threatening enough when they want to be." Ana told her "But it probably won't be Ros."

"Huh, why?"

"Something's been up with her recently." Ana told her grabbing two bowls and holding them over to Sofia who was helping dish the stew out "Probably longer, she's just been acting different."

"You talking about Rosa?" Sofia asked. Ana nodded, so Ashley gathered it must be another nick name for the youngest Pedrosa "She been having pesadelos again, sounds terrified. I'm glad Rai's taking her away."

"Yeah, maybe a change of scenery will do her good." Ana agreed sombrely taking her bowl from the woman "Obrigado Sofia"

"Obrigado" Ashley repeated also taking her bowl and followed Ana as she led them over to the monks and the Heylin's. "Um pesdels?"

"Do you mean pesadelos?" Ashley nodded "Nightmares. She and her sisters normally share a room. It explains why she been looking tired recently." She smiled slightly at her companion before greeting the group "Olá"

"Olá" Rai said in return from where he sat on a bench, Kimiko next to him and Omi and Clay sitting on the ground. On the other side sat Jack and Chase, a distinctive gap in-between them as the Dark Prince tried to ignore the boy's insistent jabbering. Ashley sat in that gap for both of their sakes. "Ah I missed this." Rai moaned eating some of his stew. Ashley had to agree as she took some herself. His grandmother was a brilliant cook. Ana excused herself not long after, telling them she had to go talk to the bird keeper, and leaving them in relative silence as they ate their dinner.

Chase had to agree with the others assessments. The stew was very nice, plenty of meat and vegetables and probably was heavenly for the performers after a long night in the ring. Thinking of that though just led him back to thoughts of certain young lady who he was trying to stop thinking about. It wasn't healthy the amount of times in one day he had gotten lost in his thoughts about her, not to mention he had only met her this morning. Even now he was beginning to wonder where she was. But as he thought about that other thoughts came to mind, such as her sisters threats.

He shudderd inwardly.

He, the immortal prince of darkness, had been threatened, successfully, by a normal mortal, and if from what he heard of Ashley's conversation with Ana and Maria there would be more to come.

But it wasn't like he had those intentions towards Rosalita. Yes she was very beautiful and he found her appealing, but he didn't love her. But hadn't Ana said that it could change.

Why was even taking stock in these e things anyway. It was just a combination of protective siblings and girls fancies getting away from them. He had more important things to be worrying about. He would probably see little of Ros anyway, it's not like after they left Brazil he would be meeting her in battles or anything like that. And he certainly wouldn't seek her out.

Why did that make him disappointed?

"Hey Ros." He cursed himself as he realised he had gotten lost in thought again. This was really becoming a problem. He looked up to see one of the sisters, Márcia he thought, waving to something behind him, a wide smile on her face, and he followed her line of sight.

The first thing he noticed was her hair was loose. Admittedly he had seen it down before when she was doing her 'final flight' but not as it was now. The gentle wind had caught the long tresses in it's path, making them dance on the current around her face, a lone black hair band holding back her fringe so her green eyes could flash out brightly capturing his attention. A stronger gust sent her hair flying to the left, making her laugh slightly, raising an arm to push strands away from her face, her unopened black jacket falling loosely to one side.

Chase swallowed thickly. He certainly had not noticed them before.

She pulled the sleeve of her jacket back over her shoulder, her long legs striding purposely towards them, and he couldn't help notice the tanned limbs were clad only in a pair of denim shorts and converse. It was certainly different to what he had seen her in before.

As she neared a bright smile blossomed over her flushed face as she waved at her sister. "Desculpe o atraso, I got a call." She explained hurriedly to those who were paying attention, going to sit by her twin, but before she could sit there was a shout from across the clearing.

"Rosalita Jacinta Suzana Luisa..."

"Vindo Avó, vindo."

"Reneta Pedrosa." Her grandmother continued her warning "Chegar aqui agora e conseguir alguma comida." She ordered

"Apenas um momento, por favor, eu-"

"Agora," Rosalita shot the group a look as if to say 'what can you do' and walked over to her grandmother "Você não comer o suficiente neta." The old woman pleaded "Nesse ritmo você nunca vai ser forte o suficiente para ter um filho."

"Mãe." Justino Pedrosa sputtered

"She pretty girl, she make good bebês, but not strong enough." Gloria Pedrosa argued "You." She suddenly pointed at Chase "You look like intelligent man, you good man, you save Rosalita. You think she make good bebês yes."

"Avó"

"Mãe"

The Pedrosa siblings and their parents protested at the same time, Rosalita's face as red as the flower she was named after. Gloria just ignored them.

"My netas pretty yes." She insisted starring straight at Chase the green eyes she passed on to her son and granddaughter unrelenting. "You think she make muito bebês."

"Um." Chase for once in his life was completely discomposed what should he say. "Yes."

"See," The old woman said triumphantly pinching the girls red cheek "He think you bonita."

"He called me muito Avó, not bonita."

"Nonsense, he like you neta" The old woman said brightly "He nice looking too, bonito, good intelligent. You two would make bonita bebê-"

"Avó I'm Hungry." The young woman said loudly cutting of her grandmother.

"Oh of course, my poor neta. You always so thin, yes a big bowl for you my dear, and don't be afraid to ask for more. You need more weight to bea-"

"Obrigado Avó" Rosalita said hurriedly, backing away.

"You're welcome my dear, now eat all that up"

"I will Avó." With that Rosalita turned hurriedly on her heel to where they were sitting. "Not a word Rai, not one word." She warned before quickly turning to Omi "Say one word lemon head and you will wake up tomorrow hanging from the trapeze by your toes." Omi nodded mutely. He did have some survival instincts. She sat down on the floor near her brother's feet and looked around till her eyes met Chase's. She quickly averted them her face getting redder. "Sorry about that Chase."

"Don't worry." She nodded in reply before turning back to her bowl.

"I see Avó's still trying to fatten you up." Rai observed looking at her nearly overflowing bowl.

"No way Einstein." His sister said with a role of her eyes before shrugging. "I've been losing too much weight recently and I've had problems with my appetite." She sent him a significant look and he quickly got the message behind her words. "So she's now set on fattening me up till I can't fit in my clothes. I've already had to replace most of them because they were getting to tight."

"Know that you mention it you do look at but pudgier. OW!" He glared at her as she slapped him on the top of his head sending him a glare.

"Rai remember what you said before about girls and boys parts." She asked condescendingly "Well what do girls have that boy's don't." Clay quickly put a hand over Omi's mouth before he said anything.

"Well there's...Oh." Rai realised eyes falling to his sister's chest and quickly looking away.

"Yeah 'Oh'." The girl said with a role of the eyes "I've also grown a bit taller."

"But still." Rai looked around uncomfortably "Did you have to grow... You didn't have these before."

"Late developer." She injected

"Still why did you... You were fine the way you where...Boys are going to be interested now."

"And they wouldn't have before." Rosalita's mood quickly changed from dismissive to offended

"Well yeah, boys are only interested in one thing."

"Oh and is that why your dating Kimiko?" She accused.

"Wha- No! Her brother sputtered "Kimiko's aren't even that bi-" He just spotted the glare his girlfriend was shooting at him in time "I mean I appreciate Kimiko for more than just her assets."

"So there's no boy that can do the same for me."

"Yeah all they want is an attractive girlfriend who will give into their demands."

"So we're back again to saying I'm not attractive." By now they had most of the circuses attention.

"No you are pretty, but before you just weren't appealing to males. The only point they would have seen in you was to do... Well that." He did not want to talk about sex with his baby sister.

"So let me get this straight the only thing boys would have been interested in me for was sex." He cringed as she said the word. "And know that I have developed bigger breasts I'm going to get hounded." He nodded uncomfortably. "Just so you know these only developed a couple of months ago. Baring that in mind can you explain how in every school I've gone to in the past few years I've had admirers."

"Wait how didn't I kn-"

"Your oblivious Rai" She told him "And also can you explain why I've had two boyfriends who have never pressured me to sleep with them."

"Wait boyfriends! You haven't done tha-"

"No" She shrieked "Give me a bit more respect Rai."

"But how can you date. Why haven't I heard of this?"

"David was just after you left and was on Holiday for a month. It wasn't that serious but Carlos still threatened him. I was in a long distance relationship with Leonardo till a couple of months ago. Márcia hacked my e-mail account at the start of that. He was suitably threatened. We met up every so often but the distance was too much and he developed feelings for a friend of his. We are now good friends."

"But why didn't you tell me."

"You overreact. You're probably already planning to attack Leo when you meet him and are going to try and track down David."

"No I wasn't."

"Don't lie to me Rai."

"But..I.. Still... You're not allowed to date. Why did they let you date?"

"Have we ever been able to control Ros Rai?"

"SHUT UP CARLOS" The brother shrank back properly chastised by his angry siblings.

"I am allowed to date you chauvinistic pig and you don't have any say over it." Rosalita shouted

"Yes I am, you don't know any better Rosalita."

"I don't know better. Says the boy who's life ambition was to eat moon cheese and decided to climb on top of the tents roof to accomplish it."

"I was seven"

"So was I and I knew better."

"Didn't do anything about it though."

"Rai I was in bed with a cold and how do you think Pai knew you would be there."

"So you told on me."

"Of course I did, you were going to get yourself killed."

"Like you haven't done anything as dangerous."

"For the last time free falling doesn't count estúpido."

"I'm estúpido? Well you're..."

"Enough you two." Their father finally broke it up "Raimundo your sister is allowed to date. Rosalita your brother was just worried about you. Now sit down and finish your meal."

"Sim, pai" The two chorused begrudgingly and went to sit back down, Rosalita moving to sit by Ashley instead of her brother which so happened brought her closer to Chase. The Dark Prince looked down on the young woman. Her skin still had a slight flush to it probably from the arguments she just had but when he caught her eye he wasn't exactly disappointed to be wrong. What he was for some reason disappointed about was her talk of boyfriends. His eyes ran unnoticeably over her form. Rosalita Perdrosa was undeniably a very beautiful girl, it was no wonder she had admirers and had dated, but for some reason he would have thought a sweet girl would have waited a bit longer. Wait! She wasn't sweet; he kept forgetting, falling into the same trap as everyone else and judging just by her appearance. Though that was too a lesser affect know. With her hair loose and wearing more casual clothes it was much easier to look past the innocence and see her more sensual side. She still looked very innocent though, and that was what was killing him.

"Do you like it?" This was becoming a problem he though as he regained his senses, he was getting to distracted. He looked down on the young woman who had spoken "The stew I mean."

"It is very nice." He replied "Does your grandmother cook often." He asked.

"Sim" She said with a smile "She's always cooking for us. Mãe has to barter to be allowed to help."

"Do any of your siblings cook as well?"

"We all do, well apart from Rai and Carlos. They don't have the patience for cooking." She whispered conspiringly "I still maintain that Rai burnt water once."

"You should see Jack." Ashley intervened "He thinks rock cakes actually contain rocks."

"Well Ashley tried to recreate 'Four and twenty back birds backed in a pie'." Jack intervened after overhearing Ashley's comment.

"Two words." Ros said holding up to fingers putting them down as she talked "Mud pies. He used them to replace the apple ones he ate." Rai overheard this.

"At least it was better than your attempts at pizza." He ignored the glare she shot at him "We ended up using them as Frisbees. Know we order in and... Ros is everything ok."

"Frisbees?"

"You didn't know that did you." Rosalita shook her head still glaring at her older twin "Um Rosalita what are you going to do?"

Rosalita's glare subsided and she raised an eyebrow at her brother, giving his body a once over. "Oh nothing." She said coolly turning back to her bowl "You know Rai" She said loud enough the carry "You're looking a bit thin." The boys face whitened and he made a attempt to shut her up.. "Been eating enough?"

"Raimundo Fernando ..."

"I'm coming Avó"

"Rodrigo Alexio Zeferino Pedrosa, venha aqui" They heard the old woman order as Raimundo ran over to her.

Ashley looked over impressed whilst Ros turned to Kimiko "I'll apologise now for if the subjects of babies comes up." She said dryly "But he did deserve that after those comments from before." She said harshly before turning back to the young Japanese girl and taking her in for a moment "Quick piece of advice Kimiko, don't let my grandmother get a good look at you. No offence but you're so slight you look like a strong gust of wind will knock you over" She paused to think for a minute before shaking her head "and that's so ironic I don't know why I said it."

"But Rai would never hit Kimiko."

"That's not what I meant Omi." She said sighing "I just was referring to the fact I mentioned wind with reference to Kimiko considering my brothers powers. Though if you think that's ironic you should look at his name. His last middle name, Zeferino, means west wind. My parents were really foreshadowing weren't they" She shook her head whilst the other laughed

"So does this happen often." Kimiko asked slightly nervous as she watched her boyfriend and his grandmother.

"Baby talk?" Rosalita asked bluntly with a raised eyebrow and proceeded with a nod from Kimiko "She starts talking about it as soon as you hit puberty. She will be in raptures when one of my siblings decides to have a child."

"But not you?" Jack asked stupidly.

Ros raised an eyebrow as if to say 'is this for real' "Jack I'm seventeen and the youngest of all of us. After Raimundo the next oldest is Carlos who's twenty. Márcia is twenty-one, Alberto twenty-four, Antónia twenty-five and engaged. Sofia is twenty-six and in a serious relationship as is Filipe who's twenty-seven and Rafael is married and twenty-nine. Something tells me one of them is going to have a child before me." She hissed at him whilst the other laughed at his expression.

"So she really wants to be a great grandmother." Ashley intervened.

Rosalita nodded "She likes having a big family." She said exasperatedly "Meaning lots of big brothers."

"That bad?"

"That very bad." Rosalita sighed "Any male friends I have need to be brave, the boys threaten them all the time."

"Um, we haven't been threatened yet." Clay said raising his hand.

"You will, believe me." Rosalita replied assuredly "And if a certain cheese ball dares hurt my family he will find himself in the middle of the desert with no water and a big sign on him saying, 'hey I'm good and nutritious. Come eat me and be nice and refreshed.' Got that."

"You won't be able to manage that." Omi protested.

"I'll get help." Rosalita said assuredly and the group couldn't help but believe her. Omi gave her a nod of understanding and with a smirk she turned back to her bowl of stew and began to eat as her brother sulked back over, his bowl refilled with food.

"Thanks a lot Ros."

"You welcome." The blonde replied cheekily. Rai sighed and put another plate down next to Kimiko. "What's that irmão?"

"Bread." Rai sighed before turning to Kimiko "Avó says your to eat all of it and..." he blushed slightly before murmuring something. Kimiko raised an eyebrow curiously as the others, bar Rosalita and Chase, did the same. Chase having already heard was unsurprised but it was Rosalita who was laughing at her brother's discomfort.

"Can you repeat that Rai?" Kimiko asked.

Rai got redder before turning pleadingly to his giggling twin. "Rosalita, ajuda por favour."

Rosalita straightened up suppressing her giggles "I'm sorry Kimiko, Avó got a good look at you." Kimiko looked confused for a moment before comprehension dawned and she started blushing.

"I can't believe..." Kimiko said embarrassedly "I'm still a teenager."

"If it doesn't work for me it doesn't work for you." Ros said offhandedly taking a sip of the stew. "You her new neta, meaning you are to be inflicted with the same pressures as all of us to be giving her bisnetos as soon as possible. You should here hear her." She began to mimic her grandmother "'Quando eu tinha sua idade eu já estava se preparando para casar com a minha Christiano...'" Rai joined her mimic perfectly, performing had gestures perfectly in sync. "'...e passado um ano estava grávida de minha querida Donato e poucos anos depois, fui abençoada com você pai e, em seguida, seu tio Alexio'" The twins laughed out loud as they finished, Ros holding out a hand. "Trégua?"

Rai nodded his head "Trégua," They then proceeded to shake their hands in way that Jack would spend months trying to follow, to no success.

Ros laughed as she watched the boy genius try to copy her and Rai's secret hand shake. She knew it was corny but they had started creating it when they were five and had added to it each year. It was special. Still giggling her eyes fell on Kimiko, only to see her expression showed she was still uncomfortable with the conversation topic. Using what their siblings had quickly dubbed 'telepatia duplo freaky', or freaky twin telepathy, Rai knew to look where she was and knew as she did what the problem with Kimiko was. He sighed slightly and moved closer to his girlfriend, throwing an arm round her shoulders.

"Please don't worry about this Kimi, you're not going too pressured into anything."

"Yeah, our family would never allow that" Rosalita agreed softly before shrugging with a laugh "Look on the bright side, at least you're business is not being shouted out to all and sundry." Kimiko laughed a bit. "And you won't have to deal with your grandmother going up to random people and asking them if you're pretty." She blushed as she remembers and looked up at Chase shyly. "I am really sorry you where put on the spot like that. I hate that you where pressured into agreeing to it"

"I wasn't pressured into anything." Case replied a smirk on his face "And your grandmother was right I do think your muito bonita."

"She just said bonita." Ros murmured with a blush but Chase heard clearly and smirked slightly.

"It's true." He said quietly so only she could hear, causing her blush to intensify.

"Avó was right about something else." She finally said after few moments, quiet enough so her brother couldn't hear. Chase raised an inquisitive eyebrow "It's true that your muito bonito."She bit her lip slightly looking up at him with innocent green eyes. Eyes that had the unmistakable glint of wickedness.

She was destroying him.

A/N: Another Chapter done and dusted, and the longest yet.

12 PAGES!

I really am starting to love the Pedrosa family I've created. I can have so many things happen. Unfortunately I come up with them of the top of my head which leads to me not getting where I want. This mean I haven't finished the evening as I had planned and will be finishing it next chapter.

Woe my Overactive Imagination.

So please review Pleeeeeeeeese.

And I'm not kidding. I don't even mind constructive criticism, well as long as it constructive. Don't be mean.

Seriously I won't mind if you just put good, I kind of need a confidence boost at the moment.

E-angel-H
