Orphaned at the age of 5, Aria Drakos is taken in by her parent's friends Charlie and Renee Swan. Shortly after, Renee leaves with their 4-year-old daughter Bella, leaving you with Charlie. But that is fine with you, since you not really 5 years old...
The whole next week was rainier than usual, and even had some ice a few of the days. Ivar surprised me each morning by picking me up and taking me to school, which because the weather was so bad I didn't mind not riding my bike. Alan took me to the dojo though and we hung out afterwards too with him and Lily, they had seen the new spidey movie and needed to geek out with me over it. Friday rolled around, marking the end of the school semester and the start of winter break.
Lily had been hanging out with us the last few days in the library, wanting to get to know Ivar more. They bonded nicely, which made me happy. Today she was satisfied with what she had learned from him, and went back to her normal routine of hanging out with her band friends or Alan.
"Ok, I'm ready. Tell me when a good time is to meet the other vampies." I told Ivar that last day of school at lunch.
"Vampies? Really? You make us sound so cuddly." Ivar teased me quietly.
"Have you seen Emmett? Or Alice? They both just look like they are ready to tackle me into hugs every time I see them. You can't tell me you aren't cuddly either, we are always touching." I point out to him, which is true because at this moment his hand is resting on my lower back as I'm working on my French worksheet.
"Can't deny it." He says with a grin then kisses my cheek. "What are you doing this weekend? You could come over and meet them."
"I'm free tomorrow." I say as I think about my plans for the next few weeks of break. "In fact, I'm pretty much free the whole break. My dojo classes are on pause because Sensei is visiting family for two weeks, and the same goes for my music lessons. The twins are going to be off in Seattle too, staying with family for the holidays." I inform him.
"Sounds like I will get you all to myself then, good." He says smugly to me, pulling me closer to him as he snakes his arm more around my waist.
"You still have to share with a few people, just less than normal." I tell him, thinking about the boys and Charlie. "For now, let's plan to meet everyone tomorrow."
"I will pick you up and take you to our home in the afternoon then." He says, and we go on with our day.
The rest of the day and next morning go as normal, and I'm getting ready to 'officially' meet the Cullen's. I'm dressed in a dark grey knit sweater, with dark blue skinny jeans and black ankle boots. Today I blow dried my hair out straighter than its usual wavy/curly tendrils, making it look a bit longer than it usually is. I do some makeup that accents my eyes and a neutral lip color, and I'm ready to go.

Charlie is home again this time when Ivar comes over, just relaxing and enjoying the day off. After I was showered and dressed, I was hanging with him out watching some old college football games that were on the TV, drinking some tea to relax and just enjoying the peace.
When Ivar came to pick me up, I invited him in to meet with Charlie again. They ended up chatting for a bit, Ivar admitted to him that we is not very familiar with American football, so Charlie invited him to watch the games with us tomorrow. It'll be good, it will just be the three of us, and will be nice to see the two men bond.
