The Maslow Relationship(Sequel to Thanks Fox)

Chapter 10

"Cathy?" A tall guy; as known as my favourite cousin, we're like brother and sister; looked shocked at me. He's 20 years old, 5'9ft, a fit guy, he has a trained body but not that much like James. He has a tanned skin, dark brown hair and dark brown/green eyes. In other words, kind of a ladies man.

James grip softened around my hand and he took Fox from me. He knew what would happen next.

"Andy!" I ran to him and hugged him.

He hugged me back. "I wasn't expecting you to come."

"I wanted it to be kind of a surprise." I smiled at him as we pulled apart. "Andre. This is James, my boyfriend. James, my cousin Andre."

"Nice to meet you." Andre stretched his hand out to James.

"Nice to meet you too." James smiled and shook his hand.

"Who's at home right now?" I asked Andre.

"Do I gotta answer that." He rolled his eyes.

I laughed slightly. "No. That means that the appartmen's almost full of people."

"Yep. I'll just check if the kids are in the bedrooms so that you can say hi to the adults first."

"Okay." Andre went inside and closed the door.

"You weren't kiding when you said that you two act a like." James chuckled.

"Yeah. Well I warned you." I winked at him.

"Everything's okay. They're playing." Andre said as he opened the door and James and I entered the house.

"Be quiet Fox. Okay?" I petted Fox's head. James was still holding him and I don't thinks he'll put him down.

We walked into the dinning room. There were six people. The usual ones that are at my grandmas house. I have a bog family from my mom's side. If I come around on christmas eve I can count with around 16 people including all my cousins but without my mom, stepfather and sister.

I knocked in the door's frame and hid. Andre entered the room.

"Why did you knock?" I heard a woman aske. I think that was aunt Elizabeth, Andre's mom.

"That wasn't me." He shrugged. He was playing along with me. He knew I would do this.

I looked at James and noticed that he understood that. Him knowing some Spanish helps a lot to understand Portuguese. I shot him an apologising look because he wouldn't be able to understand everything. He looked at me and gave me a smile that said that there was no problem.

I smiled back and then leaned on the door frame and crossed my arms.

"That wasn't him." I looked at them and then at Andre with an amused look.

"Oh my god!" My aunt Elizabeth shouted and ran to me to hug me.

I laughed as I hugged her. James was now next to me looking at me with a smile.

"Hey Aunt Liz." I smiled. I hugged her and then hugged the redt of the family that was in the dinning room. All my aunts were my mom's sisters. My mom doesn't have any brothers. My uncle Carlos,; funny coincidence huh? haha; is married to my aunt Liz. Then there was my aund Patricia; aunt Patty; and my uncle Paul that was married to her. And then my grandparents. I presented James to them and they started commenting.

"Good choice." Aunt Liz winked at me.

"Mine!" I said hugging James in a protective way and then started laughing as let go of him.

We talked for while and I explained them that James could talk some Spanish but he may not really understand us. Aunt Liz could talk some English and André could talk English pretty well, he simply had some problems with his grammar. The rest couldn't talk English.
