Hollywood Zenith

Just then, Darren also came downstairs while yawning. He hated waking up early but had to attend some classes today.

" Yo, Son. How are you? You look awfully tired for someone so young." Seeing Samuel sitting at the table surprised him.

" Come, I especially prepared your favorite dishes." Audrey would occasionally cook for him.

They had special chefs that maintained their diet plans; paying attention to one\'s health was necessary.

" When did you arrive? I heard you were here to attend some party." Darren asked.

" Yeah, I invited you but you said you had to do some important work. I bet It was probably a girl." Samuel said with a smile.

" And what\'s wrong with that. Also I don\'t need to hear that from someone with no experience!" Darren exclaimed. He felt like Samuel was talking down to him.

" Honey, I think we need to send our son to a boarding school. Look how he is disrespecting me in my face." Samuel asked while maintaining his \'elderly\' persona. Audrey got the hint and supported his idea.

" You are right. All he does is party and sit infront of his computer. I just don\'t know what I would do with him."

" Mom, I don\'t like it when you two do this weird play." Darren, on the other hand, knew what was happening.

" What is wrong Is it wrong for a man and women to love each other. I know it is strange for you but that\'s how babies are made, alright?" Samuel chuckled.

"Shut up you bastard! Mom, why are you encouraging him?" Darren ignored Samuel and asked Audrey directly.

" Encourage? I love him. Come, honey, show him how much you love me." Audrey acted all cute. She was over forty now, but no one could say it didn\'t suit her.

" Yes, Come here, my love!" Samuel went with the flow and grabbed her. They slowly reached for each other\'s lips, but Darren flipped before it touched.

" Argh fuck you! I am going back to my room!" He couldn\'t take it anymore.

" It works every time." Audrey laughed. Her habit of teasing her son led to these sorts of \'pranks.\'

" We seem to have overdid it a little. Also if he happen to see our text, I don\'t know how he would react."*

" Yeah."

While relishing their victory, Simon, Audrey\'s husband, entered the room.

" You two are really brazen to torture my son in front of me." Simon sighed. It was getting out of hand as of late.

"Good morning Uncle Simon. It was just a prank! hahaha," Samuel said with an awkward laugh. Now that he thinks about it, when did he arrive? Did he see everything?

" Really?" Simon asked sternly.

" You can ask Aunt about the details. I will go upstairs and apologize to Darren!" Samuel knew it was his time to exit. He piled up everything on Audrey and fled the scene.

" Don\'t sulk. We were just playing around." Audrey said, but Simon didn\'t reply. He casually took a seat and waited for his breakfast.

"Are you really mad. Come on you know I only love you right?" Audrey asked again.

" If so, Don\'t do it again! I don\'t like it." Simon exclaimed. It was not like he didn\'t trust her, but Samuel was different; that brat had been getting a lot of attention for being a playboy.

" Heh, Are you jealous? But I have to say Samuel is not bad-" Audrey was interrupted when Simon grabbed her and placed her on his lap. It was a sudden move that greatly surprised her.

"I-i am sorry. Let go of me; you will hurt yourself." Audrey pleaded, but his firm hands were like unmoving mountains.

"Oh my you are blushing. What were you saying again?" He asked mischievously.

" Someone will see us." The staff would be here any second now. What would they think seeing the master and mistress of the house in this compromising position?

" I don\'t care." Simon went straight for her lips. She struggled for a few seconds before giving in.

" Fool! we are not young anymore." She said after escaping from his grasp.

" But you are just as beautiful as the first day I met you." Simon delivered some cheesy lines, which worked wonders. Just in time, some people came and set the table.

They kept their head down, avoiding Simon and Audrey\'s gaze. The couple didn\'t know, but the housekeepers had seen everything!

Meanwhile, Samuel was struggling to set foot inside Darren\'s room. He had been banging on the door for a few minutes but got no reply from inside.

" I am sorry. I promise I would never do it again."

The apologies were not cutting it; he had to take out the big guns!

" I really need your help! Didn\'t you say that you were a car expert? Senior! Please help me!" He screamed. Darren always boasted about his knowledge of cars, but it was not true, as he would only be called a car enthusiast at best.

Samuel never minded it, though, as he was always cheerful whenever such topics were brought up in conversations.

The door opened slightly, and Samuel could barely see his face, but it was definitely a good sign.

" What were you saying?" Darren asked again.

"I want to buy a car, what can you recommend? Also price is not a problem." Samuel said with a serious face.

" I will say it but I want one more thing." Darren said. He was planning something big.

" You don\'t need to ask."

" I want you to take me to the photoshoot! You have to promise me or else I wouldn\'t help you." Darren gave him an ultimatum.

" Eh? How did you know about it?" It was true that Samuel needed to do some for the new movie poster, but it shouldn\'t be known to the public.

" Yes or no?"

" Deal!" Samuel agreed. He didn\'t know why but Darren seemed to be planning something. He truly loved the Harry Potter franchise, but he had never asked for such a thing before. It was also fairly easy for Samuel to grant his request.
