A few hours and beers later we have dropped the theme of me and Violet and now they were telling me about their family. 
                          
"Aaron was mister popular at high school and he got an internship to go to Columbia to study Architecture." Brad tells me. "He met Brit on campus, she was studding French philology. So basically they started to French kiss. You get it? Cause she studied French."
                          
"That was really bad." I point out.
                          
"It was not! Anyways, they began to date and as soon as they finished college they got married. Two years ago, Mia arrived and now they are expecting a baby boy." He finished.
                          
"Then there is me. I was an average guy at high school, not cool like my brothers. I went to college in Columbia too and studied journalism. There I began dating Amber and we still together as you know. Nowadays I work for The New York Times." Leo tells me.
                          
"My sister works for The New York Times too." I say.
                          
"Right! You are Gemma's brother! That is why I knew you when I saw you!" Leo says in awe.
                          
"So you know Gemma?" I ask him.
                          
"Yes, she is a really nice girl, very hard working." He says.
                          
"She told me about this guy that works there, Ewan or Evan." I say.
                          
"Evan, yes." Leo tells me.
                          
"Is he a good guy? She told me they were going on dates." I say.
                          
"Oh yeah. He is a very nice guy. He has been a soldier for the US army but now he decided to stablish himself. He is a photographer for the paper. He is an amazing lad." Leo tells me.
                          
"US army? That sounds tough." I say.
                          
"Yeah, I don't know much because he doesn't like to talk about it." He says making me frown.
                          
"I will have a talk with him when Gem decides to introduce him to me." I say.
                          
"So this Gemma girl is hot?" Brad asks.
                          
"Shut up! Would you?" Leo says being annoyed.
                          
"I am going to piss, I will be back." Brad says sounding slightly tense.
                          
He got up and walked towards the toilets. I turned to Leo with a questioning face and he shook his head.
                          
"I'm sure Brad will kill me for this but I am going to tell anyways. Brad was very popular at school along with his girlfriend Laura. They were queen and king at prom and they were very happy together. But then they separated because Brad went to Brown to study medicine and she went to UCLA." Leo told me.
                          
He looked behind him to check that Brad wasn't coming before continuing the story.
                          
"Basically they decided to have a long distance relationship. It was hard to see Brad always calling her and thinking about her but she just didn't seem to care." He tells me. "But one day all of a sudden, she reappeared wanting to talk to him. God I still remember the day because we were all having dinner when the bell rang. I still remember how Brad's face fell when he saw that Laura was pregnant."
                          
"What?" I ask in awe.
                          
"She was 6 months pregnant and they hadn't seen each other for around 8 months. There was no way the baby was Brad's." Leo told me.
                          
"She cheated on him?" I asked in awe.
                          
"Yes, while my brother was having the worst time of his life because she was ignoring him, she was screwing someone else." He tells me.
                          
"Quite the story here huh?" Brad asks seating down on his previous seat.
                          
"Brad I am sorry." Leo says.
