章節 21: Curse at her

A few moments later, the doorbell rang again. This time she had thought of pouring hot water on him if he came up with stupid excuses again. As she opened the door in a rage, she saw a taller version of her waving at her with an innocent smile.

Oliver's words came back to her mind.

Oh my God, she didn't do all those things but she now knows who did.

"Ivy, tell me you didn't sabotage Oliver and his family?" Esmeralda said in a strict tone as she looked at the teenage girl outside her house black wearing a backpack. "Also, you live in Italy, what are you doing here in California?"

Ivy stared at her sister and blinked her own green eyes. "I don't know what you are talking about. I came here because mom can't sleep without worrying about you. You told her that you won't be working for some time and so I came to spend the vacation with you."

She walked past her sister and placed her bag on the couch. She waved at the three other ladies. "Hi, Hazel, Amber and Kierra. It's nice seeing you all."

"This is my house, not a lodge, " Esmeralda groaned.

Ivy blinked her green eyes. "You aren't happy to see me? I will go back."

Esmeralda huffed and puffed but then hugged her sister. "Did you come alone?"

Fine, she missed her little sister.

Ivy shook her head. "Chelsea's parents came to LA for vacation. They dropped me here."

"I can't believe you came to spend summer vacations with me, " Esmeralda smiled.

Ivy only shrugged. She was a quiet person, to begin with.

"Since Ivy is here, let's party, " Hazel said with a wide smile. And the girls truly had a blast the same night.

It had been a week since Ivy was staying with her sister. As Kierra was still in hiding, she didn't come with Esmeralda and Ivy.

Esmeralda was like a child on a sugar rush and Ivy was the strict parent. As a big sister, she had so much to show to her little sister who came after a long time to visit her.

After exploring the city the whole day, they were tired when the evening came and decided to head to a seaside restaurant for dinner.

When Ivy was entering the restaurant, she collided with a pretty and tall blonde in a pink dress who was accompanying a handsome man. She wanted to apologise for colliding with the woman but when she started using bad words, she decided to not waste her words on a nutcase.

Looking at the simple clothes that Ivy was wearing, the blondie in pink commented, "Some people have no class. They never know how to dress up to come to places like this."

Esmeralda, who was wearing a face mask and big sunglasses faked a gasp. "Ivy, you should be careful. Learn something from the madam who was born in this high-class restaurant, thus giving her the desired class."

The man with the tall blonde stifled a laugh.

"You bitch–"

"Ivy, plug your fingers in your ears, "Esmeralda ordered and Ivy did so. She looked at the blonde who was making a mountain out of a molehill and said, "You Shit-eating skinny-ass, I can curse too but you see I am not in the mood. Let's exchange numbers and then we will schedule a meeting when I will be in a mood to curse the stupid bitch out of your bitchy face."

Before the pretty blonde with a potty mouth could retort, Esmeralda was leading Ivy out of there.

"Did you curse at her?" Ivy asked after a while.

Esmeralda gasped. "Little sister, you know I never curse. It's a sin. I go to church each Sunday."

Ivy looked at her suspiciously but didn't say anything.

"Can I order this drink?" Ivy said as she pointed at the menu.

"I'm sorry, miss, but the drink contains alcohol, " The waiter said with a smile.

Ivy blinked. "I know."

The waiter looked shocked but he beautifully masked his shock. "Miss, you are not twenty-one."

"I know, " Ivy said with a straight face. "I'm Eighteen."

"That's why you can't order this drink, " The waiter said with another polite smile.

Ivy looked at her sister who was engrossed in a business article on her phone. She poked at her sister and said, "He said I can't order this drink because I am Eighteen."

"Which drink?" Esmeralda asked as she blinked her eyes and when the waiter pointed at the menu, her eyes widened.

"Back at home, we used to drink —" Esmeralda palmed her sister's mouth and smiled at the waiter. "We will have two glasses of orange juice. And thank you."

When the waiter left, she glared at her little sister. "This is the USA. If they find out that an Eighteen years old kid drinks, they will imprison me. You can't drink until you are 21. Back at home, we didn't know nana was giving you wine saying it was grape juice and now you are courageous enough to order for yourself. "

Ivy sighed and said, "Can't you order for yourself and let me have a sip?"

"I don't drink, " Esmeralda said in a scolding tone. "And neither can you."

She kept one drunken episode to herself. Her little sister needed not to learn this from her.
