The Register

Chapter 8

Hannah and I walked downstairs. Hannah left shortly to the kitchen but I had to go to the hall to see and greet the guests. As I was about to hold the door knob, I felt a light tap on my shoulder.
"Gosh, Awura"I widened my eyes as I whisper-yelled at her. She was stunning in a pink knee length gown that complimented well with her light skin. Her hair was tied into an advanced messy bun. A messy bun that was neat and formal but it was a messy bun. It made her look cute and silly. It was then that I saw John and Samuella. Aww I have beautiful siblings. Samuella's hair had been left but it was pushed to one side with some plaited hair adjusting to the flow to her hair. She was wearing a purple off shoulder gown. Her upper body too was greatly outlined and her Rosy cheeks stood out since she was light skinned. Then at John, He was wearing a blue suit with black shoes. Samuella's gown was long so I couldn't see her shoes. But Awura had a flat silver shoe. John walked and pushed me aside so that he, as the 'man' will lead the ladies inside. We all lined up with John Infront. I heard him knock and a 'come in' was heard from our father. John opened the door and we all entered. I lifted my gown a little so as to not fall when walking in. My head went straight up as we entered. We all stood at the centre of the hall with our head high as we looked around the hall. I scanned every face in the hall..eii like wow.
They were all Americans. Okay, I need to go into details. Daddy was sitting on the other side of the couch with mummy. Daddy had a wine coloured suit on. And mummy had a wine gown too matching them. They looked beautiful and handsome. Like royalties. I turned my head to look at three handsome boys. The first one, which I considered to be the eldest, had brown hair and blue eyes. He was handsome. No wonder Hannah gushed over them. The next one had a slightly blonde hair with light brown eyes, eyes so light that his pupil could be seen. And the last one, which I considered to be the youngest, had deep brown hair. It was really deep. Deeper than the first one. And he had deep brown eyes. Okay, they were all handsome from my point of view. And there was a girl on the other side sitting with...her mom? She had blue eyes and blonde hair. Beauty. She was incredibly beautiful. And her mom had blonde hair with blue eyes, just like her. They looked like twins as they sit together with the same expression.I turned my head slightly to see... their father? He had deep brown hair and light brown eyes. That's nice. This family literally screamed perfection.
"These are my children"I heard Daddy state proudly.
"Samuella, John, Emmanuella and Daniella"he said as he pointed at each one of us as he mentioned our names. We bowed and introduced ourselves politely. I gripped my dress tightly as I felt the blue eyed boy staring at me.
"Children, meet the Martinez family "daddy introduced us and they all got up to shake hands with us. Why do I feel like they are royalty. Or is it because of their dressing. The boys were dressed in suits, dark blue, red and violet. Their mother was dressed from head to toe in a silver gown and the blue eyed girl was dressed in a dark blue gown. Their father was dressed in a black suit.
"You can socialize with yourselves"Daddy announced and we all stoop up. I shook their mother's hands.
"Hi I'm Katherina Martinez. Mother of these kids."
"Emmanuella Agyapong. Nice to meet you" I shook her hands. She stared at me in admiration. I shook hands with the father too.
"Robert Martinez"He was so friendly.
"Emmanuella Agyapong. Nice to meet you"
My hands moved automatically to shake someone's hands and when I looked up, I saw the blue eyes guy. He had a little smirk as he seized me up and down. Jerk!
"Ethan Martinez"he spoke as he looked at me with those piercing blue eyes. I was already tired of this 'Martinez' name.
"Emmanuella Agyapong. Nice to meet you"I smiled.
"You are very beautiful"he complimented licking his lips. I will say this again.. Jerk!
"Thank you" I smiled forcefully and removed my hands from his hold.
"Alexander Martinez"the deep brown haired boy introduced with a cheerful smile. He looked friendly. I already liked his vibe. Unlike, erhm, what's his name again kraaa....Yes! Ethan!. Unlike Ethan's vibe that creeped me out.
"You can call me Alex "he whispered with a wink and I raised my brows at him.
"I wasn't going to call you Alexander anyway. "I smiled and he just chuckled.
"Nice meeting you"I said and I really meant it. I was about to go when he held my hand. I glared at him.
"No name?"he laughed. Right! I even forgot to introduce myself properly. I blushed with embarrassment.
"Emmanuella Agyapong"I smiled and left him almost immediately.
"Xander Martinez" he greeted with a stern expression. I shook the hands of the light brown eyed guy. He was handsome. Really handsome. But like seriously, whats with the stern face.
"Emmanuella Agyapong"I didn't continue with the 'nice to meet you'.
"Your face will really look better with a smile." I whispered. Stop! I couldn't help it. He looked like a young tycoon and argghh..it's  so someway bi.
I saw his expression increase to that of I don't know...maybe anger?
" Don't tell me what to do"he whispered.
"Suit yourself then"I rolled my eyes at him. Even Ethan was better than him. I removed my hands and walked to greet the last one.
"Andrea"she didn't add her last name to it. I was about to introduce my name anyway when she whispered
" I know you are bored because you've already heard a lot of Martinezes." She laughed and I joined in.
"I know right"
"But Andrea Martinez "she faked a strict expression making her laugh. Such a stupid girl! I already liked her.
"I'm Emmanuella. Ella for short"I chuckled.
"Nice and don't you think we look like princesses today. I mean our dresses. All men will be dying for our hands in marriage"she raised her head in a dramatic way.
"You bet"I laughed and she joined in too.
