Ari's Little Voice

Big Party

Aria POV

I sit in my circle living room chair and watch Lala grabbing last minute things. we are about to leave for her birthday party and i'm so nervous but she said she handled it, so i guess we will see.
"are you ready, cutie? you look so good!"
i smile sweetly at her and bounce a little, she grabs my purse thing and hands it to me. i keep my phone, money, extra paci, baby wipes because i'm messing, and usually a small stuffie just incase.
"off we go!"
25 minutes later we're pulling up in a small limousine to a beautiful big building. mans open both of our doors and we step out to see a pretty banner with her name on it
'LAYLA'
she comes over to my side and whispers to me
"don't worry, you can be small and quiet, no one will question you" she flicks a smile and then we're engrossed into darkness as we enter the venue.

Marco POV
My sisters party is guaranteed to top the last 18 years. Im sure, whenever the hell she gets here, she will love it. my mother comes to me frantically, doing so much at once
"your sister told us to make sure we all make her friend feel very comfortable, so when she gets here-" she looks around, hoping they'll arrive soon "-you be a gentleman."
me and my mother aren't very close, but when it comes to my sister, we have to choice to interact.
moments later while i'm making a small plate of food, the gala doors open and everyone turns. i can barely make out my sisters face an see her shuffling towards me and mother.
"brother! i've missed you" she ushers in to hug me, letting go of someone else. someone very small. once she pulls away i turn and look down to see the same little girl from the store. for a minute there i was speechless, standing there staring like an idiot
"earth to Marco-" my sister calls
i smile
"hello beautiful, nice to see you again" i await for a response before remembering what my sister told us. she was bringing a long time friend that was very shy and very quiet, as in she didn't speak at all. i was intrigued, immediately thinking back to my sweet little sight at the store. and now i'm pleased to see i was right.
she really does look beautiful though. she has on a deep purple dress to her mid thigh, with black pantyhose, and tall black boots to go with it. i notice rings on her fingers and a 'meow' necklace. also a cute diamond piercing in her nose. she's about a foot and a half shorter than me with an adorable little figure. i just want to squeeze her.

Aria POV

walking in with Lala is so scary. this place is huge and filled with people, i agreed not to bring any stuffies today so i have nothing but my purse to squeeze onto. she leads me to her family, her mother named Ms. Monroe and her brother, Marco. i'm so nervous for the introductions, what if they expect me to speak and these are my friends family so i want them to like me... hm-
this man has been staring at me for a long time. but i have to admit he is pretty, i wanna color him a picture
"earth to Marco" Lala calls.
"hello beautiful, nice to see you again"
oh my.
i recognize that voice. and he said again this is the man from the store! i just know my face has turned bright red. i want to sit down. i pull on Lala's hand lightly and point to a table
"would y'all like to sit? i'm hungry"
we all walk to a table and they tell the party workers what they want, she orders a salad for me and some fruit on the side. yum
i notice the man, Marco, has been staring at me all night and i feel uncomfy.. but oddly pleased?
