"Aww, my little girl has grown up." Mom says.

"Mom, stop. Now that I'm an adult, I can tell you something and not get in trouble for it. I've been drinking since I was like 16."

"What?" She gasps and I shrug.

"Sorry mom, but there's nothing you can do about it now."

"Mom, she really thinks about this stuff. You might not think so, but she uses her brain. Only to be manipulative, but she still uses it." Frankie says.

"He's right." Justin adds.

I nod and take a sip of my wine.

"Where's Lexi?" I ask.

"She went to get Chaz."

"Oh. When did that happen?"

"While you were asleep. Do you realize that you didn't wake up until 10 am?" Justin says.

"I do."

"Oh. And you're not getting anything else to drink. Just so you know."

"Why?"

"Because you're crazy." I roll my eyes and empty the glass.

I feel something tickling my leg and look down. A bee crawls around on my thigh and I scream.

"What?" He says.

"There was a bee on me. I don't like bees. I don't like wasps. I don't like hornets. I don't like anything that can sting me. Honestly, I don't like bugs."

I cross my legs in Justin's lap and he wraps his arms around me.

"But it's so much smaller than you."

"I don't give a fuck. It can still sting, bite, and crawl. It's disgusting."

"Justin, there's no point. When Ari doesn't care about something, she doesn't budge." Frankie says.

"Look who's awake." Alexa says.

She walks into the backyard and I smile.

"Where's Chaz?"

"He went to steal your baby."

"Oh that's nice." She sits next to my mom and Chaz walks out with Jaycee.

"Hey bro. What's up?" 

"Nothing really. Just, you know, being a dad."

"Of course. She's adorable."

"That was all my doing." I smile and Justin shakes his head.

"She's delirious."

"No, Justin. She's right. Hey, Ari." He takes my hand and kisses it and Justin clears his throat.

"Dude, hush. Don't be mad that my awesomeness attracts everyone." I say.

"It does. Especially me."

"Aww, how sweet. Come on, Frankie. Let the young couples talk for a bit." Mom takes Jaycee from Chaz and walks inside with Frankie.

"Was that necessary?" Alexa says.

"She just wanted to take Jay. Now we have nothing to do."

"Would you like to play a game?" Alexa says.

"That depends on what game it is."

"I'm glad you said yes. Welcome to 7 Minutes in Heaven!" She says.
