The next morning: In the Hotel
John was sleeping naked on his underwear again. I pinch his cheek again. "Aw! Aw! Dad! Geez!" he said. he very drunk. I cover him up. He will get cold.
John looks at me then giggles and hug me. "Fine." I said and hug him back. He yawns and returns to sleep, hugging his other people. I clean his room a little.
He was talking something I can't understand. Peculiar.
I am pissed off because he is messy when his drunk. Violet joins me. I cover her mouth. "Shhhhhh… Let our Babyboy sleep, well grown-ass man. Man-child…but not really, he is surprisingly responsible. I can't decide though…mmmmh…" I said.
Then we tour the Golden Town.
In the Lake area. John was very excited.
"John…." I said. He calms down.
Violet looks at us. Goodness, my wife is stunning in her red two-piece. Pale skin, blonde hair, blue eyes.
I come to her and put my shades.
"Excuse me,pretty lady… mind if I join you?" I asked her. She smiles and say, "I don't mind."
Later
The 3 of us sunbathing. John is on my left, my wife is on my right. Huh, eclipse.
Amazing. I look at the weather app. Peculiar. There is no assigned eclipse this day. Then the eclipse just… vanished. John looks at me, his eyebrows crossed.
In the Inn's lobby
John and I look at our weather apps. We ponder with hands on our chin.
"You two look cute like a father and son duo." said Violet. "No mother, this is weird… The eclipse…." said John.
Violet looks curious.
"Let's give it a rest." I said.
In th enxt Destination. A cave.
"Ohhhh!" said John. "That's a Big!" she said. I whispered to her, "That what you said yesterday." Then we giggle as she slaps me affectionately.
"Ew." Said John. "Shut up." I replied.
We look at the 3 Colored Mountain Deities in the lore, way,way back. They call them the 3 Gods that translates: The Forest Gods of Joy, Sadness and Anger. Red is Angry, The Blue one is Sadness, The yellow one is Joy.
We go inside. Huh. It's very Dark. Goodness. John hates dark places.
"John cut it out!" I said. It was saying an incoherent language. I turn on my phone's flash.
A Yellow Man with yellow skin,covered in yellow slime like mushrooms, and face like a cuttlefish as it fades in yellow dust.
I woke up. In front of the cave. There are rescuers near me. "Sir, you experienced Heat fatigue, please be careful." Said one of them.
"Let's go back Old man." Said John.
Later in the Inn:
Women seems to be near John. John signs me to take him away. Violet laughs.
I whistled at him. "Babyboy! Join me and mother! Stop flirting with those ugly bitches!" I shouted. Then grin mischievously. "Jerk." Mouthed one of the girls as they go away. John bursts out laughing. "Dad! You are so rude!" said John.
"What? Them ugly bitches." I said mockingly as I hold Violet's hand. "You're so rude." Replied Violet. John joins us and lay his head on the table. John is very dependent if I'm around, to be honest, it's annoying me sometimes.
He always knock on my door and join me in my bed because he's scared of thunder and rain, Dark, mouse... what is John NOT afraid of? While Violet on the other hand, what can scare her.
Back outside the lake in evening
"Dad! Mom!" said John. He towers over the women and men fangirling around him. He's a very tall man now, and. I see quite a charmer too.
Then John and Violet start to talk.
They look at me with a smile. Elleo joins me. "Elias, I'm curios, wow. Violet is very… what can you call it… Wild flower,yet delicate and very smart." Said Elleo. I laugh. She is. "But…John. Wow. Like WOW." said Elleo.
Kind of, John is… Too charismatic for his own good. But no one knows he is a dependent crybaby but kind and strong when needed; behind his social persona.
Violet is… goodness. She is already selling something with papers. Such a business woman. She looks at me with a smile on her face.
The Next Morning. We go to my Dad's old house.
I look at my Dad's old photo. It's me and my brother. John notices it. "Wow, I do look like you are younger…" said John. He compares. I laugh. He helps me clean things. I was cleaning the house as Violet as she looks the photo of me and Joan. She touches her face. She looks at the mirror. "Wow, so I am not the only ONE!" she said.
"Shut up! I love you two but You don't need to replace her." I said to her. She hugs me.
"I know…" she say, she looks down. Then she kisses me as she takes out the hand vacuum.
"Mom! Dad! Look!" shouted John.
"Wait, so, you…are telling me, that… Wait, why are you working for me anyways?" asked Violet. "Eh." I replied. Violet smiles and giggle. I giggle back. John goes to us in shorts and tanktop while carrying a create.The fuck. That takes 3 men to carry, It was my old clothes. And things!
"Wait… dad. You are a football player? I mean, what the fuck! Mom! Look! He is Elias Criox-Manor!" said John. He sits beside me and her mother. I hug them both.
"Well, now, WE ARE FAMILY. John, you also need to move out, one of these days me and your mother, will make more of your siblings." I said to Violet.
"Ew!" said John as he laughs. "I mean, you two are still young…in a way, and imagine; me and my siblings be 26 years apart. Ha!" said John.
We laugh. John looks back the window. "Huh?" asked John as he opens the window. He looks around it. He shrugs it off. "Well, I better find another job tomorrow. I guess?" asked John as he kisses my cheek and his mother's cheek.
"Later Dad, Later mom!" as he goes outside.
"Goodness…when did John grow up/" asked Violet.
"Years ago. You are too busy at work; but, I am always there and remind him, his mom bought this and that for him… Then our video calls… Well, more of, you are too busy. BUT. He is very happy on your gifts." I said.
She giggles, "Yeah…this feels, nice… just being… ordinary. Thanks." Said Violet. I look at her. I notice the window…having…. Yellow mushrooms. It was…not here before. Strange…
In the Croix Farms, a week later.
Me and the Mayor (my brother) have a stare down. He face palms.
"I hate you are one of the smart asses since before. And Mom's favorite." Replied Elleo.
The people stare at me. Elleo seems irritated. '"Fine, speak up." Asked Elleo to one of his subordinate. "This is the famous ELIAS…" asked his secretary. Elleo looks at her disappointedly, "Say it."
"The handsome twin is back and he's son is even more gorgeous." Said all of them. "Ew, why you guys salivating between me and my son." I asked. "No wait, I don't want the answer." As I pretend to puke.
Elleo glares at the Fanclub girls and say, "Professionalism."
"I mean, he is YOUR ADOPTED son… so… Vile rotten girls are…" said the secretary.
"Gen Z's and Millennials?" I asked.
"Yup." Replied Elleo his eyebrows crossed, "We are Millenials. We are going to be 45 this year. WTF?"
We giggled. I almost raise my finger and put it down. "What?" I asked.
"Yes." The interns replied.
"And…" I look at the men, younger men as old as my John.
"I mean, your wife is kind of… Cougar vibes too." Said one of the younger men. I roll my eyes.
"Ehhhhhhhh… She like men my age." I replied. "I mean, you are like ZADDY personified. Your son is a moist meter, your wife is DOMMY MOMMY…" said by someone. "I'll pretend, I did not hear that!" I said. We all laugh.
"No ,but seriously. John is not just that tall handsome man. With rainbow-rainbow like limbal heterochromia in the eyes, and my wife is not just a strong willed feisty dommy mommy, and I am not just a good looking dad." I said to them.
"Most of them are orphans,Elias. You can't blame them." Replied Elleo.
I look at them in another side of the lens. I stopped myself.
"They are clearly not listening. I sigh. I saw John swimming in the pond.
"John! Please! No!" I shouted. He…saved a kitten.
"Sorry." Replied John. They gossip.
"See." We are more than just looks you know." I said. "Okay now, people, As usual,I am introducing you guys to them since… they will be handling the Croix Assets." Said Elleo. I look back at him angrily.
"Elleo! You said Temporary president!" I said. "Elias! I have a town to handle! At least you are here…" he replied.
I put my things on the study. I whine in the empty room. "You sure, hate this place." Said Violet. I come to her and hug her. "Yes. I left my home." I said as she kiss me. "I know. Hey, I mean, I am, still trained to handle business empires you know. But, this time. I need a king, not a servant." She said as she winks. I hug her.
We look at the books and Ledgers. John joins us. "I guess, you will not be kicked out of the house, just yet… let alone, It was too big for the three of us." I replied.
"Yes! No rent!" said John as he goes back outside. I sigh. "Honey… You know, maybe, it's time to give ,John baby brothers and/or sisters…" She said.
I smile at her as we started kissing. Heated moment always. Violet stops. "Jon?" She say as she looks back. "John is not here…Did you say John or did you say JON?" I asked her. "Nevermind" she say as we kissed again.
Later
We naked in the blankets. Breathing heavily.
Someone opens the door. John looks at us, in the blankets.
"Nope…nope." Said John as she closes the door.
We laugh. Got dress and go for lunch.
Violet and I was holding hands while reading on the chairs next to each other. John is reading the ledgers, as the 3 of us sort things out. The Head Butler says, "Master,young Master,Madame… The dinner is served." He said. I put down my glasses as we walk to the dinning room.
Elleo and his Family arrives. Wow. He has…3 sets of identical twins.
We look at Elleo, His twin sons, his twin daughters and a cute small son.... sons? The other young twin is hiding behind him. baby boy has left green eye and right blue eye. They look at me, confused. They look at each other.
Elleo and I look at them. One of them runs towards the garden tthen returns with a coconut.
"I have a coconut!" said by him as he carries the coconut using one hand. He runs around. "What did you feed that boy?! He one hands a coconut!" I said.
The Coconut thuds. We all laugh. "That sure is a heavy coconut." Said John. We all laugh. The baby boy's twin runs towards me.
"Papops! Papops!" said by the other twin. "Uhm, I am not your Papops.I'm your Gruncle!" I replied to him. He looks at Elleo and run to him "Come here my baby boys!' said Elleo as he hugs .
"Your grandkids are cute!" I said. "Yes, my Eldest Daughter adopted them." He said.I look at his children. "Wait, where is your eldest?" I asked. They all froze and look down
"She died a year ago. On a rubbery incident" Said Elleo.
I sigh and hug my brother. "Condolences." I said. John hugs his uncle too. Elleo laughs. He hugs the both of us. "I'm glad you are here now. And you too." Said Elleo. He breaks down weeping.
He looks back, "Jessa?" he asked. He looks back. Okay that is weird.
Later that night
The three of us was napping. I woke up first. I saw,Joan in her wheelchair, looking at the window. She looks at me. "Welcome back." Goodness, I am dreaming. She comes closer as Golden Mushrooms grows on the window. "I love, now and forever." Said Joan as I woke up.
I look at the window. It…has mushrooms… Huh? I pick one of the mushroom. It becomes dust. "What the fuck…"
