Confusingly in Love

· Chapter 3 ·

I wake up to loud chatting, and I slowly open my eyes. I sit up rubbing the crust out of my eyes, turning to look at my clock. It was four in the morning.

I wonder what idiots are participating in this loud chat.

My door slowly creaks open. My aunt Claudia sticks her head in, checking to see if I'm woke. "Oh, you're awake? Or did I wake you?"

"You didn't wake me at all. I just heard talking that's all. Who's here?" I yawn, getting off of my bed.

She smiles at me, walking up to me, she wraps her arm around me. "The boys are here. Are you happy?"

My eyes widen. "They're already here? At this time of day?" I ask as I cross my arms.

Claudia sighs as she squeezes my cheeks. "No need to be a brat, mini Lia. Just go back to sleep if you want."

I sigh. "Okay, okay." I through my hands up in the air. I walk towards my bed.

She laughs at me. "Well, do you want some pancakes? I'm making breakfast for all of us." She says as she turns me away from my bed. She pushes me towards my door, opening it up slowly.

"Yes, please. I've been craving for them." I say as I feel her push me out of the room.

She lets go of my back, shutting the door back. "Okay, I'm gonna start making breakfast. Go introduce yourself first, then you can sleep." She says as she walks down the stairs.

I nod in agreement, walking down the stairs afterwards. I hear my mother's voice, I also hear a very deep and unfamiliar voice. I follow my mom's voice, and it ends up leading me into the living room.

There stood my mom, kissing a handsome older man.

Ew.

She turns to look at me. "Mari," She says surprisingly, smiling wide at me. About a second later, her smile vanishes. Her eyes now on my night dress. She glares, rolling her eyes. "Mari this is Dante. Dante this is my daughter, Mari."

He smiles at me, reaching his hand out to shake mine. "It is very nice to meet you, Mariana."

Dante had curly jet black hair, with a couple of little grey strands. But I have to say it looked pretty cool. He had light brown skin, hazel green eyes, and he was well-built.

"It is very nice to meet you too, Dante." I say as I grab his hand, shaking it slowly then I let go.

My mom grabs both his hands. "You can leave if you'd like to Mari. Matter of fact, you go and find Aidan. Show him around."

I nod as I begin to walk off.

"Make sure to change as well." She says in a irritated tone.

I roll my eyes, sticking my thumb up in the air.

I run upstairs into my room, walking inside my bathroom. I take a quick shower heading out. I walk into my room, putting on a black shirt with a red rose and some skinny ripped jeans.

I look at my clock, seeing that it's already 4:45.

Time goes by so fast.
