Partying with the Langeraks - Part 5 and last

Night has fallen and the party goes on. Phillip may not have been able to get Bradley’s attention, but he’s certainly got Tony’s, who he’s keeping entertained with stories about his family, the ineffable Altos.

Brad doesn’t seem to find these stories entertaining at all. He’s even a little jealous of Phillip stealing his dad’s attention at his own party!

Jean is not jealous, but worried; he is afraid that his parents might have fought because of him.

While they both take a break to enjoy dinner at last, Bradley tells him all the wonderful things he’s heard about Cahaya Island. Jean listens, mesmerized, and saddened at the same time that he won’t be able to join his brother.

Bradley: What do you mean she said no? Didn’t Dad talk to her? Jean: Dad has this policy of never contradicting Mom on anything concerning me.

Bradley: That's a wise policy, I guess. Anyway, don't worry, you'll become and adult soon, then you'll make your own decisions. Jean: Yeah, one more year and no one will be able to stop me, not even my mom. Bradley: I'll see you in Cahaya then. Jean: You bet.

Well, the party’s over, it’s time to dismiss the babysitter and put the kids to bed.

If they want to sleep, that is, cause Marlene at least slept through the whole party. Now she’s fresh as a daisy and ready to play all night long. The joys of being an exhausted middle-aged father of two toddlers.

Jean isn’t middle aged, but he’s exhausted too. He still has to finish his homework, and his phone won’t stop ringing.

“Okay, let’s see who’s so eager to talk to me. Maybe it’s Peggy or Meredith, maybe one of them changed their mind and wants to chat with me for the whole night.”

Nope. It’s Phillip Alto, calling Jean’s phone because Brad isn’t answering his. “Forget it, buddy, Brad’s already sleeping like a log. Call him tomorrow, okay? Bye.

And so it ends this historic gathering of the Langeraks. Yes, I know, they’re a rather peculiar family, but a happy one at that. This is the latest I have on them in Island Paradise, We'll probably see them all in Cahaya someday, although that may take some time. Thank you for reading this far. Stay tuned for a little more of Bradley at Inzoi's Cahaya. 💖

Partying with the Langeraks - Part 4

Simon just realized he hasn’t seen Holly in a while, so he decides to go look for her. Meanwhile, check out Phillip’s face as he watches Brad and Liliana dance. As if that wasn't enough, he has to listen to the stories Jean keeps telling Gordon.

Well, Simon didn't find Holly, but André did find him to talk, or rather, to complain about how annoying and dull this party is. Thankfully, Simon is good with children, especially if the child is his own half-brother.

And... Holly has finally showed up. Apparently, she went to put on her swimsuit to go for a swim in the pool.

Another one who doesn’t seem amused is Tony. This is practically his first fight with Jeannine since they got married. Given his commitment issues trait, he wonders if he did the right thing in getting married again. Also, it seems that Phillip preferred to do his homework in order to overcome his boredom.

About two hours later, Daniel is back and ready to go in the pool. So is Bradley, who, after his long dance session with Liliana, has changed into his swimsuit and is ready for some fun. Too bad Meredith and Peggy have left. Phillip is still here, though, but Brad isn't the least bit interested in him.

Since Jeannine and Tony are not speaking to each other, she engages in a conversation with Daniel instead. Gloria goes on maximum alert.

It’s nothing personal, but she knows the story of how Jeannine stole Tony from Cassandra. In her opinion, once a husband stealer, always a husband stealer, so it’s best to keep an eye on her.

It’s been a while, and Jeannine is still monopolizing Daniel. What is she thinking? Does she plan to talk to him for the rest of the evening?

They have talked so animatedly for so long that even Tony got up from his chair and left. Gloria is seriously starting to worry now.

Simon and Holly, on the other hand, have just met again. They get along so well, and they’ve never had a fight, how enviable!

Partying with the Langeraks - Part 3

Downstairs, the party continues. It seems that Daniel managed to change Gloria’s conversation to prevent the boys from freaking out. Meanwhile, Bradley tries his luck asking Liliana Ichtaca to dance, as André attempts to strike up a conversation with the nannies, Meredith and Peggy.

Since Royce is more interested in Daniel and Gloria’s chatter than in keeping her company, Jessica entertains herself swimming in the pool.

André’s conversation with Meredith and Peggy didn’t last long cause Jean made his appearance.

Maybe he’s going to ask them to dance? Whatever the case, André’s moment to shine has been ruined.

And it was for nothing, cause Peggy quickly fled the scene, and Jean is yawning through Meredith's conversation. Guess the girls were better off with André. 🙄

Bradley, on the other hand, is having a great time dancing with Liliana, though Zoe and Peggy didn't like that one bit. Neither did Phillip Alto, since, according to rumors, he also has a crush on Brad. Looks like Bradley is well on his way to following in his father’s footsteps as a total charmer.

Jean seems more interested in taking photographs than in talking to the girls. Zoe and Meredith are not eager to talk to him either, as they only have eyes for Brad, but he seems busy with Miss Ichtaca for now.

It’s late kind of late and Daniel has to leave for one of his gigs. The downsides of being an ascending star singer.

Jessica wonders if she should leave too, as swimming in the pool with her stepmother isn't all that entertaining.

Jean is trying to impress Gordon with stories about his childhood in Champs Les Sims, while Meredith is bored stiff without Brad in sight. Simon and Royce seem equally as bored without Daniel’s gossip, but André seems to be the most bored of them all.

When Bradley arrived home, Jean was in the garden, as usual, peacefully playing the guitar. It was the perfect background music for Brad's (rare) good mood.

There's no way Bradley is feeling grumpy tonight. On the contrary, it's the happiest night of his life.

"Yep, the haircut was definitely worth it."

He's sure it's all settled for him, little does he know that his life, and the life of the Langeraks in general, is about to take a 180-degree turn.

(To be continued...)

Bradley, grumpy as ever because he had to get a haircut.

He and Jean decided to try new hairstyles. I don't know if they'll keep them or go back to the old ones, Bradley at least seems to miss his long hair.

Bradley, at the Island Paradise Spring Festival.

Brad agreed to attend the Festival with his half-brother Jean to strengthen family ties.

[anamoon63]

There you go. André has grown into a handsome boy, like all the Langeraks - watch out, Island Paradise girls!

It's time to split the cake, but Bradley is upset because it's Phillip Alto who will be taking care of his half-siblings tonight. Once again Meredith didn't come, and Phillip is quite annoying.

André goes to get his piece of cake. He doesn't look very happy either, perhaps because he knows that starting tomorrow he will have to go to school like all the big kids. No more staying at home playing with mom, his siblings, Zoe or Meredith. (*Sigh*).

[anamoon63]

And here's Bradley, trying to bond with his half-brother Henri.

Sometimes it's not easy, (especially knowing that Henri and his siblings are the children of the woman who caused his parents' divorce), but he'll try, at least for the time he has left before going to college. He's trying hard to get along despite his grumpiness, and he's making some progress.
