Previous Chapter They arrive in Florida at 11am Charlie is already at the airport waiting for them, when Mikee saw her godfather she immediately run towards him “Uncle Charlie” the man who is as tall as her dad but a bit bigger smiled at her and hugged her tight “Princess, I missed you” Mikee answered back “miss you more and thanks for picking us up”
Charlie smiled “your dad would be furious if I don't pick you up, besides I am going to meet Jaguar” Mikee shake his head then call up Allen who jog to where she is “Uncle meet my twin, Allen A.K.A Jaguar” Allen smiled and shake Charlie's hands “pleasure to meet you Sir” but then Charlie is now star struck and unable to say anything.
“M, is he okay?” Mikee laugh then shouted to the rest of the group “guys you can choose which of these ride you want to board I am starving so I need lunch” then everyone loaded the 3 car Mikee directed them, while Mikee drag her uncle to the Van and asked for his keys “Uncle Charlie I would be driving and Leigh sit beside me will you?”
Charlie was still shock but manages to get inside the van and Allen sit beside him “Sir, is it really fine to intrude your place for lunch?” Charlie recovered this time and answered “it's fine, better actually sorry about my reaction. It's just that I can’t believe I am sitting next to Jaguar I mean “the Jaguar” and please call me uncle”
Mikee giggled “sorry Allen, he is your number one fan when it comes to drifting, he never miss out on your competition” Allen was now amazed “wow, really? Thank you so much in supporting me” Charlie is now proud “from the time I saw you doing the drift in your Junior High I didn't doubt your talent but Mikee why didn’t you told me he is your friend?” Mikee laugh before answering “you haven't asked me about it and also I don't want to oblige you to always pick me up whenever I am here in Florida, I don't want to disturb you except now since I needed a ride for my clients” Charlie shake his head “always full of surprises”
They reach Charlie's house and lunch is already waiting for them then Mikee introduced her clients to Charlie “Uncle these are my clients well friends actually, Aiba, Sho, Nino, Ohno and Jun” then directed to the girls “meet my best friends I bet you heard their name from Dad. Stephanie, then Frezzy and Ashley my business partners, and Aya “the falcon” who is also a twin of Allen literally” Charlie's eyes widen “seriously? They are twins?” Mikee nodded “yup, oh and Aries and Leigh I bet you still remember them right?” Charlie greeted the last 2 men with glee “so nice to see you both is Mikee giving you a hard time?”
Leigh and Aries smiled sheepishly while shaking their heads then Sho noticed that Leigh and Aries are surprisingly behaved “did these guys suffered concussion while we are flying over? I mean both of them are behaved” Mikee giggled then Charlie wave a hand and says “oh speaking of behaved, that reminds me Ace and Erwin make sure this two guys are always away from each other I don't want my car to be repaired for almost 2 months again” Mikee laugh along with the girl's “Uncle can we have our lunch first before you tell them the tale of your car repair?” Charlie laugh “yes let's save it for dessert”
After lunch they settled on the verandah while the boys were asking Charlie to tell them the story, Sho can’t help himself and keep on asking Charlie to tell them the story about the car repair “Oji-san please tell us the story, you promised us it would be after lunch” Charlie looked at Mikee who settled herself between Leigh and Aries.
Then Charlie started “well it happen here in this house just below where Mikee is seated, let’s just call her Princess shall we?” then wink at them playfully “it happens about 6 or 7 years ago Princess says she wanted to stay with us, we were surprise since she never comes here without reason really, but she told me she wanted to see the ocean and sunset then her best friend came when he was with her, Princess cried and not telling him why. Then right about after 30 minutes or so another car appeared then walk towards Princess”
“The newly arrived man rush to Princess Side and hugged her tight while asking who cause those tears to fall but Princess never say a word and just cried. Her best friend shut the newly arrived man with a not so good look so Princess introduced her best friend to the newly arrived but instead of shaking hands the best friend give his fist to the man’s face and then it started and no one can stop them fighting until the car which were parked below were smashed”
“Then it continued and the car had broken window the other car had a broken door really a mess. They just stopped when Princess shouted so hard that it made her faint” then Charlie stop for a bit to look on Mikee’s direction before continuing “so both men stopped fighting then carry Princess to her room at her room no one is talking and both were just there with bruised body and cut lips. When Princess woke up these guys starts arguing they would pay for the damages. Princess shouted at them and settled they would both pay for it. Naturally you guys knew who they are right?” Then Charlie looked at each of his listener while Mikee and the other girls were laughing.
Charlie noticed it and commented “so the ladies are actually aware of what happen” Aya and Steph answer in unison “Yes!!” while Frezzy commented “Uncle we are actually here in Florida when that incident happens all girls I mean. 2days after the said incident Princess moved out from here and stayed with us in the hotel” Charlie nodded “yes, Princess asked permission after that and make sure everything is settled before she left, I see that is where she run off too”
Guys were shaking their heads then Nino commented “that sure is an expensive way to fight for Princess” Then they heard a car parked below and started shouting Mikee’s name and Charlie, Mikee patted Aries leg who run and see the newly arrived. When Aries get back Mikee is still in the bench and shouted “Ron” the new guy run towards Mikee but before he can hugged her Ace and Erwin stopped him by grabbing his arms the guy protested “come on, Ace , Er I haven't seen her in ages.”
Mikee chuckled “Nii-chan it’s alright haven't you two recognize him?” Then face Ronald “sorry Ron my cousin must have forgotten your face since you haven't show up for about 3 years” Ace and Erwin smiled then Ace says” were just playing with him” then laugh along with Erwin Ronald shake his head but smiled then asked “are they acting your goons again? Why is that?” Mie sigh “Ackie asked them to be my goons”
Ronald nodded then hugged her tightly “God, I missed you” then noticed Aries and Leigh sitting together “whoa! Am I seeing this correctly? Uncle Charlie is it fine to park my car below? Or is it a danger zone?” Everyone laugh, then Mikee introduced the newly arrived “guys meet my partner in crime here in Florida Ronald Fabregas, he offer us a place to stay and he is a childhood friend of Aries”
Ronald smiled but still not letting go of Mikee “alright, who is Ohno, Nino and Jun among these men?” Mikee was puzzled but then Aya stand up and greet him “Hey, don't scare them like that its rude” Ron smiled and give Aya a hug then Step and Frezzy “whoa there’s a newbie on the group, May I have your name?”
Mikee laugh “hands off Ronald she is my business partner Ashley” Ronald nodded then Mikee introduce Arashi to Ronald but after greeting them he face Leigh then says “are you worried about the competition?” Leigh smiled and offer his hands “nope not the slightest” then wink at him Ron smiled back “that’s my boy, anyway Uncle Charlie I would be getting them so they can rest for this afternoon since I have a surprise for Mikee”
Charlie nodded “oh, almost forgot about it Ace, Erwin these are the keys for the cars, Princess here is your key” Mikee’s eyes widen with glee “did dad asked you to give me a spare car?” Charlie smiled “nope, that’s my idea besides just bought it last week and I want you to try it”
Mikee hugged Charlie and utter her thanks then they all went down and grab their cars, Leigh is with Mikee along with Ohno, Nino, and Jun. While Aya and Steph join Ron and Aries and the rest divided themselves to Ace and Erwin. They all follow Ronald then they arrived at a hotel after they checked in Mikee asked Ron “hey, babe you haven’t told me you have a hotel here”
Ron laugh “it's not mine, but you’ll meet him later” Ron gather the keys from the counter then directed them to the penthouse Ronald then says “alright settle yourselves here and rest you guys wanted to have diner here or outside” Mikee answered “Aries can just call you up we haven’t decide on that” Ron nodded “alright, I’ll wait for that call and btw we would be going out for a drink after diner”
Mikee smiled “as always party goer but I don't think it's appropriate though” Allen smiled “it's okay M, we would start our practice tomorrow afternoon anyway” Mikee looked at Aya’s direction who nodded then Ronald continue “besides, your client are on vacation so let’s play around” Mikee shake her head otherwise agreed “fine, alright let's rest and have a drink tonight” Ron smiled then ask permission to leave “that’s settled then see you guys tonight” then give everyone a playful wink then kiss Mikee goodbye.
Mikee settled in the couch where Leigh is also sitting then she lay her head on his shoulder, Aries on the other hand settled himself beside her. When Ace and Erwin actually cleared their throat and then squeeze themselves on the sofa beside Mikee. The girls giggled about the gesture of her two cousins, mean while Mikee shake her head then says “Ace, Er I know my brother ask you guys to be my goons and all but that doesn’t mean you guys can bully my best friends?”
Ace just shrug his shoulders while Er was the one who says “we are just doing what we know is right, besides even if March didn’t ask us we are still going to protect you as it is. We are just following our instinct and its telling us that these guys are a threat since they would be running away with our princess and we will not let that happen” Mikee roll her eyes and says “God, and here we are with this discussion again” Aya and Frezzy were laughing while Steph commented “Sorry M, I guess you would be growing old alone” Mikee look at Steph’s direction and sarcastically commented “You think?” then everyone in the room laugh.
