The proposal

Chapter :7

Zander P.O.V

Alex this is my mom. Rosemary she owns a florist shop in town. It's called blooms and blossoms. Have you heard of it?
  " Ma'am ,nice to formally meet you"
She smiles and whispered when Lacey turned away." Good choice young man, for future references her favorite flower is purple roses they are rare and mean forever. " I kinda loved that she told the meaning of flowers it may come in handy in the future. She winked and hugged me " my billy, isn't here he's in Houston recruiting a new fighter . He will like you I have no doubt. Just remember he is just a normal man. Don't hurt my baby" I nobbed as she went help Victoria's grandma with the dishes.

The party was in full swing there was many traditional dishes the spicy sweet aroma made his belly rumble. Everyone laughter filled the air as the a burly gentleman strummed a ukulele and sang a ballad .

". It's about a man who fell in love with the islands ". Gram said next to Alex " he left his heart to the island . Every night the island weeps for his return" Alex came to realize gram always talked in riddles. She patted his shoulder and gave him a hibicus flower. "She was either the island crazy or the wisest woman he ever met "he said under his breath.

When Alexander came from the pit where the pig roasted where all the men congregated. His gaze met rosemary from across the crowd. Alex Had a hard to swallow . meeting the parents is nerve racking in itself . When meeting 265 lbs pure muscle mma fighter that can murder you without breaking a sweat. could be your possible in-law  takes the cake. Rosemarys earlier Threat rang through .it all clicked So that's why Victoria's male cousins looked like mma fighters they probably were.

Lacey's P.O.V
Zander looked pale when he met my mom so I thought he would like a cup of punch. Victorias younger cousins bombarded me near the punch bowl. Alina and Zoe gave me hugs they were Corbin copies of Victoria at their age.
"Later where gonna have a bonfire" they  squealed " where gonna play truth or dare" . Shook my head tit was so juvinile and childish but it's a traditions between the cousins to play every time we come home.

The last time leoni burnt his eyebrows off .  No mahito cocktails for him. A mahito cocktail is not a fruity drink but a flammable bomb. It's when you have a flammable liquid in a glass bottle then insert  a rag into the bottle . Set it the rag aflame and throw it to see it explode. Well he had it too close to his face and oust-a  la viesta baby ! No more eye brows. He had to pencil them in for about six months after that. ( please do not try this at home.its only for story purposes only!)

I laughed at the memory . it was a dangerous and immature thing to do. We all say "What happens at the bonfire stays at the bonfire".
My boyfriend isn't into that sort of thing they gave me puppy dog eyes" for tradition sake" . If victoria agrees I guess we will . They ran off to find Victoria .

The party was winding down as the sun set kissed the deep blue sea . I loved this place it has always been my place my heart belongs at.
A hand rested upon her shoulder Lacey thought it might be Alex .. no it was tadeo. My best friend always knew how to make me feel better no matter what. Should I tell him about what's been going on with Alex and I. No he would go into big brother mode and challenge him to a fight.
Tadeo was one of my dads prized fighters. Alex didn't stand a chance in a fight with tadeo. He had speed and agility where as Alex could have power and strength . Those broad muscular shoulders he mouth watered at the thought.

" flower ,what ya thinking about?" Tadeo asked as I licked my lips and stared into the waves. Praying they would answer all my problems. No answers came but a sounds of the wave crashing upon the shore gave my soul peace.

"You have changed since I last seen you!" Lacey stated . Tadeo transformed from a lanky teen to a handsome man. He had sun kissed skin deep brown eyes . Wavy mop of hair that's always wind blown. She never noticed that he had adorable demples. He isn't the tadeo she remembered this is the more matured tadeo.
He had a six pack that lead down a happy trail to well defined v.

She wasn't too into the athletic type due to being brought up in the ring . It was normal to see rippling physiques . A man with quick whit that she could hold a convesation with . Inticed her more on many levels.

Leoni set the logs ablaze and all the cousins and their friends gathered around. To my surprize James and Alex joined in. Leoni silenced everyone as he announced" welcome everyone to our traditional "aloha truth or dare " I won last year. No one could out do my dare it was aloha epic . Everyone laughed and clapped as Victoria filled everyone about leoni eye brows. "There are rules this year since where all mature adults here. "The cousins cat called her,booed ,and we laughed harder . Mature guys! Here the rules no fire . Zoe screamed out " I just ran out of eye pencils so don't pull a leoni" more laughter.

My gaze caught Alex's across the flames. It lite up his face giving it a warm glow.

Rule two no kissing cause we all ahona "family " that's just gross. Rule three no . I mean nothing to personal ...Hear me tadeo.

"Let's get dis started ". The 9 of us went silent as it gone to leoni main squeeze kiko. Kiko has a bubbly sweet disposition . She squealed it's me.. Victoria asked truth or dare.
Truth .
R u dating leoni ?
No but he wishes.., we busted out laughing she kissed him on the corner if the lips. "Oh my poor baby. " she cooed.
She  tossed to the coconut to tadeo
Truth or dare .
Dare ...he stared down Alex.
I dare you declare your love infront if everyone . He went pale as he stared out into the sea ... it stupid I'm not playing this childish game and walked off. 

Well, that was eventful let's keep this going.we played into the night. James let Victoria put makeup on his body. He looked like a three year old topographical map gone wrong. Soon we started passing around the coconut rum that's when it got introsting..

Readers I do not condone the making or using of the subject above. (Mohito cocktail)
