Can We All Just Get Along!

     "What the!?" I yell out.

An elegant older woman with long salt and paper hair stood at the car door waving at us. I roll down my window to address her.

"Hey aunt Lily, you startled me."

"I bet I did,"

she replies with a  smirk. She rests her hand or the car door. Her fingers are filled with gold.

I let out a slightly nervous laugh and tuck my hair behind my ear.

"Kai, hows everything?"

Kai clears his throat,

"everything is great."

"Yeah, looks like it,"

she says raising an eyebrow.

Kai squirms in his seat uncomfortably because of my aunt's sly remark.

''I think it is time for you to head inside Ava."

"Yes, ma'am,"

I reply quickly.

"Kai, it's always a pleasure seeing you. Say hi to your grandfather for me."

"Yes, ma'am I will."

"Kay, nite now."

"Goodnight."

I quickly got out of the car. I turn to close the door as I mouth to Kai that I was sorry. He smiles and nods. I turn and practically run up my house. Lily was already at the house door waiting. When I reach her I look her in her eyes and she seems normal. However, then again you never know with aunt Lily. I look away out of respect to not stare her too long. Once I get inside the house. I head to go straight upstairs to my room.

"Hum! Hold it right there Missy! Where do you think you are going?"

I immediately stop in my tracks. Slowly turn around. Can this woman make this night any worst?

"Yes, aunt Lily?"

I respond with a slight annoyance to my voice.

"I think we need to have the talk."

My eyes open so wide I am surprised they didn't fall out. I can not believe she was trying to have "the talk" with me, was this lady serious right now?

'"Did I hear 'THE TALK' which niece is it?"'

Says Wendy making her way from around the corner.

"Where did you come from?"

I blurt out at the blonde-haired woman who had a face mask on and wore a night robe. 

" The kitchen," she responds quickly

"I didn't expect us having the talk with Ava before Tatum,"

Wendy says to Lily.

"Excuse me? You do know I am  still standing right here?"

I questioned. Little that they know. They should have had them talk with Tatum a year ago.

"Haha, Of course, I do honey, it's just Tatum is more open and you are more shy and quiet. Well, I guess those are the ones to look out for huh Lily."

Wendy says nudging Lily with her elbow.

"Gee thanks,"

I respond with sarcasm. Aunt Lily just stares at the both of us with a stern look.

"Sooo, which one?"

Wendy asks me as if I understand what she means by it.

"What are you asking me right now?"
