"I did it." I say, setting Alex down.
He rushes over to Nai and hands her the grocery bag.
"What baby sis?" She asks, curling up on the small couch with her coke.
"I gave a guy my number." I smile.
"Oh my god!" She claps her hands.
"My baby sis is going to get some!!!"
"Ahhhh shut up!" I blush.
"Nooooooo you're getting out there!!!" She grins.
"I guess so." I smile.
Sonny's POV
(This doesn't happen very much, just so ya know.)
"When do I text her man?" I ask Usnavi. It's been two days, is that too soon? Too long?
"I don't know, cuz." He shrugs, tapping the pen she used on the counter.
"Man she's so nice." I gush.
"Mmhmm." Usnavi hums, obviously bored.
"So why'd they move here again?" I ask.
"Their apartment burned down." He said for the third time.
"And the kid isn't hers?" I ask.
"Nah, he called her tía." [aunt]
"And she's my age?" I ask.
"Around there." Usnavi says.
"And sh-"
"You've asked me these questions twice already! Just text her, man!" Usnavi exclaims, shaking my shoulders.
"Alright, alright." I smile.
"What do I say?" I ask, typing in her number.
I hope it's her number, not a fake one.
"I dunno, just say hey." Usnavi says.
"Okay." I take a deep breath.
Back to Alexa's POV

I grin and set down my phone and head to Alex's room.
"What's got you all smiley, honey?" Nai aasks.
"Just going out with sonny sometime this week." I shrug.
She squeals, dropping Alex's toy cars and running to hug me.
"¡Mi pequeña hermana es toda crecida!" [my little sister is all grown up]
"¡Ay dios mio, sueñas como una mamá!" I laugh, pushing her off me.
[oh my god, you sound like a mom]
