The Four Emirs
At Starbucks
Manhattan Starbucks
Chris Bradford looked at Alea unblinkingly which made the girl look down with a flushed face while holding Joey's jacket.
"Chris! You scared my sister, you know?" reprimand Alaric who saw Alea inching behind Joey.
"Oh. uh sorry. I'm sorry, Miss Hamilton" said Chris.
"No. nothing" Alea's great-granddaughter who was nervous because just this time there was a man who dared to look at her in front of her two cousin sisters. The girl knew all her male cousins were warming up all her blood when it came to her sisters.
"Let's sit down" Joey took a glance at Alea who was still holding her jacket. "Lea, when do you want to hold your jacket?"
Alea raised her face towards Joey. "Eh?" whiny. The five people sat at the corner table and Alaric and Nura went to order a drink.
"Alea... Let's talk to Chris" teased Joey saw his sister bashful.
"Go ahead" Alea whispered as she pressed her face against Joey's shoulder.
"Why is it even Brother?" Joey alternately looked at Alea and Chris. "Alea is shy, Chris. Please be advised yes, still 19 years but has a bachelor degree in interior design."
"Great Miss Hamilton. I salute you who are young but have finished school." Chris stared softly at Alea who was still glancing over Joey's shoulder.

Alea Al Jordan Hamilton's
Duh cute.
"Says..you want to..so detective?" whispered Alea.
Chris nodded. Alea began to dare to look at the man. "What part? You know my Opa used to be part of the murder."
"Ohya? What's name?" ask Chris with a smile.
"Opa Ghani Giandra and Opa Raymond Ruiz." Alea turned towards Joey. "Bang, Opa was in NYPD which area was it?"
"Manhattan is like the Bronx, Brother does not memorize."
Chris stared at the way Alea looked at her cousin sister. This girl was different from her other siblings.
"This is the coffee" Alaric said as he brought his drink and sat next to Chris as Nura sat next to Alea.
"Lea, your coffee" Nura handed Alea an order of machiato coffee.
"Thank you" Alea's smile stunned Chris.
"Look it's normal Chris" Alaric scolded while drinking his coffee.
Alaric Al Azzam Blair
"Eh?" Chris looked towards Alaric.
"Alea, what's the design in Patrick Rogers' office ?" alaric asked trying to open Alea's casing so as not to be shy like that.
"Patrick's still changing, bang. Design I've been okay but that bathroom there's a design that asks to be replaced." Alea seemed excited to tell her work. "But it's true that said Nisa, Patrick's fussy mas" he thought. "It feels like he wants to shake his head if I start fussing about it! How wonder why Nisa feels at home is the same annoying guy?"
"Patrick Rogers is the son of a New York senator who owns the game company RogGamers. Ever heard?" Alaric looked at Chris.
"Once but I'm not a gamer so don't know what the game is" Chris smiled.
"Don't worry, so do we. Benji should know, he's a game boy." Joey looked at Alaric.
"By the way, the boy was helped by Abi doing the script, huh?" Alaric.
"Lho's? Benji hasn't graduated yet?" ask Nura.
"Yet. More fun malakin his brothers" Alaric's murmur that makes Joey and Alea laugh. "Oh, Benji and Mas Abi are our cousins, Chris. My sister Benji studied at MIT but only thesis is not made up even though Alea who is younger than benji just graduated."
"It was Chris" Joey said.
"Yes doc, I didn't sleep nearly 72 hours and it was like drinking three bottles of tequila. It's really like a drunken person when I've been avoiding alcohol since living with Ms. Aminah."
"But I didn't see you, Chris, at the time of the mess?" comment Nura.
"Maybe there's a lot of cops there, Doctor Benazir" Chris smiled.
"Oh just call Nura, Chris."
Chris just nodded.
"Where are your parents?" ask Alea.
"They died on the way to a triathlon race to Vancouver. I was in High School and yeah, since then I've been living alone with no inheritance. I had to bury my desire to go to college and choose to go to the police because at that time there were only two choices of police or soldiers who immediately worked. And I chose to be a cop."
"How can you be Bu Aminah's adopted son?" ask Alea again. Joey glanced at Alaric with a smile at the bravery of the bontot among the female cousins.
"I helped Ms. Aminah from the robbery attempt and since then we have met often let alone the sector where I patrol near her apartment area. And knowing I was an orphan, Ms. Aminah invited me to live together because I reminded her of her son who died while serving in the army." Chris looked at Alea with a smile.
Finally you dare also look me in the eye, Alea. Your eyes turned out to be beautiful in color, the gray green was not clear.
"Good people can certainly bless her" Alea commented.
Joey patted his sister's head gently.

After a coffee show at Starbucks, Chris and Alea exchange mobile numbers that make both brothers just stare meaningfully see his sister there is progress of the nature of shyness.
Alea is difficult to meet new people outside of work. If Ezra says, his daughter is like two sides of a coin. Alea when it comes to work, she can seem authoritative, professional and very masterful of materials but if beyond that, Alea becomes a super shy girl, only with her cousins can she get warm.
The four parted ways with Chris who had to go to the night shift and now they go to Hamilton's house located in The Hamptons which is a luxury area for millionaires and other celebrities.

"What do you think of Chris?" joey asked Alea who was sitting next to her while Alaric and Nura listened to the conversation.
"He's good" Alea replied shortly.
"But?"
"Nothing but, bang Joey. I just met her today" said Alea.
"Let's just say you've made a new friend, Lea. So do not be burdened you have to be with Chris because the name of the feeling can not be forced" said Alaric.
"Yes bang." Alea turned towards Alaric who was holding hands with Nura. "When are you getting married?"
"Wait for Benben to finish his education. Rendra will get married next month. You're coming, aren't you, Lea?"
"Goddessa bang. I miss Dubai anyway. Are you guys going to race again? Mas Bima said, to Dubai without a race is not exciting."
Alalric grunts. "Well, mas Bima want to show off to Mas Hoshi using his Maserati bang Ayrton. Do you know Hoshi Maniac Maserati himself?"
Alea laughs. "Mas Hoshi and Mas Bima never get along?"
"Well no!" joey and Alaric together.
Alea and Nura laughed.
