PHOEBE POV:
"Your son should really start learning how to respect others more and not interrupt when he is not being spoken to." Icily glaring at Federick, Alicia reprimanded him and Joseph.
"I doubt he's capable of behaving in any way other than his usual annoying self. Prying into people personal life, which doesn't even concern him, is pretty much his second nature by now... OUCH!! Alicia, it hurts. – It's not my fault your son is beyond infuriating and always riles me up."
"As funny as the bickering between the two of you are, there is a line you two should stop trying to cross." Finally leaving my ear alone, Alicia stood in front of us. "Now, if you guys are done being mannerless and interrupting me, I would love for you, Miss Phoebe Ziva Smith, to explain what is this whole going out and seducing different men every night the moment I stop checking up on you?"
Momentarily glaring at Joseph behind Alicia, I swore to get him back for this lowly trick. Returning my attention to Alicia, I instinctively rubbed the nape of my neck, my anxiousness level rising to a higher degree. "You are making me nervous, you know that right?" Intimidated by her full-on motherly side, I exclaimed with a hint of timidity and nervousness.
"Do I look like I care? – You better be spurring out the truth young lady, or I will be compelled to ground you and send you to your room for the rest of the night. It will be no going out for the entire week except for work at Archer Company." Staring at Alicia in disbelief, there was no denying she was damn serious. However, I also needed to do my job as Angel as this was my major priority.
"No fair Alicia- It is all a lie... Joseph was just getting back at me for the cheating joke. – I've been slaving away the whole week with barely any time for myself, much less time to lose on different men every day." Feeling like I was back in my teenage years, I passionately defended myself.
"You make a fair point, but if my memory serves me correctly I said nights, not days... did I not?" Scanning around the room, everyone other than Federick who was busy scowling at me, his eyes demanding explanation, nodded their heads in confirmation. Oh, those little shits! They were having too much fun seeing me in this predicament.
"It's just a vocabulary mistake, Alicia. You know how I blabber when I am nervous." I explained as casually as possible.
"I may not be your real mother Phoebe, but I am still your mom. So go on, tell me with whom you've been spending your nights. Remember, you have a lot at stake here."
"But... my sons are here." I tried my luck again.
"Oh come on Phebes! Who are you trying to fool? Everyone in this room except my son knows how you openly speak with your boys, without any sort of filter. I have no doubt they know how flirtatious and mischievous you are, heck they may even know all the gory details of your sexual life."
