Alexis' POV

I slurp my drink loudly, constantly stealing glances at the arguing power couple in front of me.

“So ya telling me, my ma, and your ma, share a ma?”.

I glance at Poppy and arch a brow, amused.

“My bad. I mean my mom and...”.

“Don't sweat it sweetie, I got the question” .

She smiles. I turn my attention back to her parents.

“So what's it like?”.

I look at Poppy.

“What?”.

“Having grandparents and aunts and uncles...”.

“And cousins?” I cut in.

I smile as I notice the curious look on her face.

“Pop, that's enough now” Mr. Emerson says, walking away from his elegantly dressed wife.

He was young and incredibly handsome. If Mia wasn't already married, I'm sure she'd pull one of her tricks to get him to kiss her.

“We're not going to the party anymore?”.

“No honey. Now let's be off. She must be stuffed”.

Poppy slightly pouts and stands up, smoothing her floral dress. She moves ahead of her father.

“What does that mean?” I ask confused. “Stuffed... what... what's that?”.

“Err... it just means you're tired” Mr. Emerson explains.

“Well okay then...”.

Poppy walks back and throws herself at me.

“Oh...!” I exclaim in surprise.

“I'm excited about having you as my cousin Alex”.

I smile and hug her back.

“Maybe you could be my dream big sister” she says.

Their parents exchange looks.

“Let's be off now flower” Mr. Emerson says, pulling her away from me. “Sorry about that” he whispers.

“Not a problem” I mouth back with a smile; my gaze fixed on the little girl.

“G'night Alex!”.

I shoot her a salute with my index and middle finger.

“Goodnight”.

“Shall we?” my aunt asks.

“Yeah sure”.

I rise up from the fancy couch and look for somewhere to put the paper cup. Everything was well waxed.

“Just leave it anywhere. One of the maids will take care of it”.

Okay...

I do as she says and follow her around the stairs. She shows me my room and I'm not sure if I should even step in. I hesitate.
