"They say when your are missing someone that they are probably feeling the same, but I don't think it's possible for you to miss me as much as I'm missing you right now." - Edna St. Vincent Millay.

Above is Elbertina's dining room.

Alexander POV

I woke up really early in the morning something I've been doing since I got to Georgia. I walked into my bathroom and stripped my clothes and walked into the shower. I turned the nob to feel the cold water on my skin. I took a long shower so I could about a few things. I quickly put on some sweatpants and t-shirt. 

I walked to the kitchen to make something to eat. I made a few pancakes, eggs, bacon, and toast. I finished eating just after a few minutes of eating everything I made. 

  *knock*

"I need to talk to you!" 

My sister Francesca walked into my apartment. "Why even knock when you can just walk in whenever you want?" She walked towards me. "How you allow me to do something so stupid!?" She started pacing in a circles. I looked at her clothes and saw she was the wearing the same outfit from yesterday and her hair is a big mess.

"How am I responsible. When you did something stupid. I didn't do anything." I leaned on counter table and I couldn't resist a smile. She looked at me with these evil dark eyes. She looked at me like at just murdered her goldfish. Which I did when I was 6 years old and it was accident. I apologized to her and our parents bought her a new goldfish.

"You brought Liam here. You know that he dumped me on my 18 birthday. You also know its awkward between us." 

"Wow, I never thought you guys were awkward." I looked up and down at her outfit. "I would think that you guys are good friends." 

Francesca walked towards me and grabbed the colar of my shirt making me look into her eyes. "You listen here older brother and listen well. I. DON'T. WANT. TO. WORK. WITH. HIM! I don't want to see him after what just happen between us." 

I pried her hands off my shirt. "Is it because you just slept with him. Or is it because you have feelings for him. Which one please tell me?" I said with a small laugh. I was also intrigued which one she will pick. 

"I don't want to talk about that." She says looking up at me as I fix my shirt. 

"I can't do anything about him working on this hotel. He is more than qualified than anyone in the company. So I'm sorry Francesca that you have to work with him." She stomped out of my apartment and slammed the door. 

I looked at my phone to see the time. I have about three and half hours until I need to go to Elbertina's house. I have enough time to do work on some paper work.

three hours later

Should I get chrysanthemum or daisies? I can't pick which one to give to Elbertina. I'm at a local flower shop contemplating which flowers should I get for Elbertina. I haven't decided for about 15 minutes now.

After two minutes of trying to decide I picked a bouquet of lilac chrysanthemum. I bought the lilac chrysanthemums and made my way to my car. I looked at my watch to see the time and it's almost for me to be at Elbertina's house.

I made it to her house a little bit late, 5 minutes late to be exact. The door was already open and people moving things out of the house. Elbertina walked up to.

 "Your finally here." Elbertina said with a Spanish accent that caught me off guard. "Sorry, I was talking to my grandfather and we often talk in Spanish. Come in Alexander."  

"Here. This is for you." I said handing her the lilac chrysanthemum. "Do you like them?"

She held the flowers in her hands and also smelled the flowers. "There beautiful Alexander, also lilac is my favorite color." She looked up at me gave this beautiful smile, that was beautiful than the flowers. Her smile gave a little flutter in my stomach. 

I walked into the house to see boxes and bubble wrap. "What is going on? Are you moving?" Most of the furniture was already out of the living room.

"We're going to move to New York in a few days." She said while walking to the dining room, that already had food and drinks on the table. There were pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast, and vegemite

I looked at the vegemite jar. Why does she have a vegemite jar. If I recale none of her family members are Australian. I think? 

"Sebastian's mom grew up in Australia and my family are best friends with the his family. So my family are used to eating vegemite in the morning since we were kids."

"Plus Ellena's family are used to eating marmite." said Sebastian walking into the dining room with the Ben and Severo. Then followed two girls.

"Mommy! Now can you tell me who this person is?" Vera ran up to Elbertina, making Elbertina to lift Vera up in her arms. "I will tell you until your brother comes down for breakfast." Elbertina said when she gave her a kiss on the forehead. A few seconds later Adriano came running into the dinning room.

When everyone was now in the dinning room, we all sat down to eat. I sat down on the left side of Elbertina. She lend close to me. "Also I've told the twins that their father could never visit because he's been working abroad." She whispered in a small velvet voice. I nodded my head.

"Now can you tell us who this person is!" 

"Umm . . . this is Alexander . . . your father."

Once Elbertina said 'your father' the twins look surprised and shocked. I turned my head to see that Ben and Severo were also shocked by the two words. 

"Are you really our father?" Adriano said with a serious face.

"Yes, I am. I'm also very sorry I could never visit and I know it will take some time to get used to me being around." I said looking at both Vera and Adriano from across the table. Both of them stood up from their chairs. 

"What are you . . ."

"Are you going to stay in our life forever?" Vera said cutting my sentence. 

"Yes. I'm going to stay forever."
