Beyond the Velvet Drapes

A Not So Perfect "Egan"

I feel like a bird, soaring high in the wide, endless blue skies. Hovering freely above the green, luscious trees...

...dancing with the clouds, swaying in the breeze. What an ecstatic feeling!

Yet, I suddenly felt being pulled downwards, uncontrollably...

Matteo

OOOOOOUUUUCH WHAT THE!!!!

I screamed loudly as I rolled my back on the well-polished hardwood floor. My whole body was aching a lot from the grandiose fall I just had

Eyes still closed, I massaged my back to ease the pain. I didn't even bother to stand up.

Daddy A

Well, I guess your mom's right. You are a lazy, tardy, young man, Matteo Egan!

A familiar husky voice spoke. I opened one eye to peek and see this invader who interrupted my sweet sleeping state.

Upon realizing who he is, I bolted up, grinned mischievously, and made a peace sign.

Matteo

Hey, Daddy A! Welcome back.

My Dad, the famous actor Alberto Egan, stood firmly in front of me. The mighty Alberto Egan who everyone adores.

While looking at me, his jawline tensed, and his handsome face bore an utterly disappointed expression.

Daddy A

You're planning to skip your singing workshop again, aren't you?

I grimaced. Oh yeah, another hell day for a not so perfect Egan!

Matteo

We'll see, Dad. 😁
