When We Were Young(20)

Chapter 20:

Alicia :

Daisy and I walked out of the office laughing after catching up on these years. I showed her pictures of AJ and she absoutely adored him, and she hadnt even met him.

"Oh you have to bring him by the estate!" Daisy exclaimed, "He looked just like his father. God its almost scary!"

I chuckled, "Yeah, he's a spitting image. He's got my brain though, sharp as a nail."

"If he's anything like Alec then he will be hell as a teenager" Daisy shook her head.

I just smiled. I remember Alec as a teenager. He was loving, nice and maybe a little reckless but he had a good heart.

"Yeah he will be a handful." I grinned as we came up on Alec's office.

"Alec!" His mother hollered.

He came running out of his office. "Yeah mom?"

She crossed her legs and tapped her foot impatiently. "Why haven't you greeted your mother?"

He raised a brow at her, mimicking her stance. "Because when I went to say hello you zoomed passed me making a beeline for Alicia's office."

Daisy narrowed her eyes. "Don't get sassy with me boy."

Alec rolled his eyes. "You taught me the meaning of sass."

Daisy smirked. "And don't you forget it."

He rolled his eyes and pulled her into a hug. I smiled at the pair. No matter how much they rode each other they've always been close. Even when Mrs. H is a hard ass.

"Mommy!" I heard AJ's voice as he ran down the hall.

I caught him in my arms and lifted him. "Hey! What are you doing here ?"

AJ smiled. "School's over and I made the lady walking me home bring me here."

I rolled my eyes. "Miss me that much baby?" I teased.

AJ nodded so hard I thought he'd get whiplash. "Yeah, and I missed Dad too."

I looked over at Alec and Daisy to see Daisy's eyes brimming with tears.

"You want to meet someone new?" I asked him.

AJ nodded. "Sure."

I put him down and pointed over at Daisy. "This is your father's mother. Your Grandma Daisy."

AJ's face contorted into confusion until something hit him. "Oh is she the one that you said when you were pregnant with me she was a crazy old ba-" I covered his mouth before he said anything else.
I grinned sheepishly as Daisy narrowed her eyes. "No baby, she was the one that I took all the Christmas card pictures for. Remember ?"

"Yeah, I do now." AJ walked over to her. "You have very nice hair."

Daisy squatted to be at eye level with him. "Why thank you. You might just be my favorite grandson."

AJ looked at her curiously. "I have cousins?"

She grinned. "No but soon you will. And you'll still be my favorite."

AJ returned the grin and held out his hand. "Deal."

Alec just looked at the exchange and looked up at me. "I think our son just made his first successful business deal."

I smirked. "He's a natural. Just like his mother."
