Out with the Girls.‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍Ben was sure he was keeping these girls, it took about an hour before the girls came down the stairs looking all clean. Ben could hear the sound of their footstep as they walked together coming down the stair, okay now he had to admit it, he would have to get used to hearing more lousy footsteps, more chatting and who knows what more.Ben lifted his eyes from his laptop to watch four beautiful girls walk past him, each greeting him as they took a sit at the dining table. "Hi Ben" they greeted, "hi girls" he replied after they were all seated. "So what's for breakfast?" Alex asked while the three other girls just sat quietly, it was going to take a little more time before they get used to him, and Ben was ready to give them that time to get to know him."Alex, do you know what time it is?" Ben asked, Alex looked at the clock to check the time but Ben didn't even wait to hear the response, "I don't think you should be asking for breakfast any

Ben asked, "They would be down soon" Alex replied, "go have breakfast, because am not stopping by any restaurant to get fast food" Ben ordered with his eyebrows arcing up.

"If truly the king is dead, you must maintain your calm. We can't afford for the public to see you weak!" Wilson scolded. "Seriously! Is that what I should be thinking of right now uncle?" Regal scoffed in unbelief, his eyes red with anger."I am just hearing my dad is dead, and what you want me to do right now is to think of what the public would say? To hell with the public!!!"
