It was almost six pm and my parents were still not here anyways, I told them to be here at seven. Tim was conversing in a conversation about football with Angelo who had Ashley sat on his lap while Grayson typed away on his phone. I was in the kitchen with Cathy just making some few finishing touches to the dishes that we would later serve. Ashton was also playing video games not minding anyone. He had became an addict over the years, it took a while to get him to stop playing whenever he started. I still couldn't believe Angelo was here, when I woke up this morning, I didn't think this is how my day would go but so far everything had been civil and good.

"He loves you."

Cathy said out of the blue making me stare at her in disbelief. I could never get it in my head that Angelo loved me even if he said it with his own mouth. I just- i think I told my body, heart and soul to accept that he could never love me.

"Uhm-" before I could make up a proper sentence without stuttering. The doorbell rang, i immediately ran to get it. It must have been my parents when I opened my heart skipped a beat. I was so happy to say the least...

"Surprise." My brother Kyle opened his arms wide for me. I hugged him, not minding the fact that he was now a walking tree, so much taller than I was. This was my little brother and I simply adored him no matter how old he grew. He will always be the little boy that played video games while I was in Labour at the hospital.

"I thought you said you couldn't make it." I squealed with joy opening the door much wider for him.

"Well that's why I said surprise didn't I?" He said giving me a cocktail grin. "And this is my girlfriend, Lola Salda?a." I gulped down a bit just from hearing that name and I knew Angelo heard it too.

"Lola, this is my big sis Raina, you know the big shot lawyer, I told you about." He chuckled and I rolled my eyes.

"Don't mind him, he always exaggerates. Nice to meet you Lola." I gave her a hug she seemed taken aback. I wanted to be a better sister to all of Kyle's girlfriends, i didn't want to be like Alma Le roux.

I didn't

I could never see myself gaining pleasure from someone else's pain. "Come in guys." I murmured closing the door behind me.

Lola actually looked like a decent girl. She was definitely Latino, i could see from her olive toned skin and dark hair like mine. She was also dressed decently in a dress that looked beautiful on her and sexy but still covered all the essentials.

"You guys can take a seat." I gestured at the table in the dining room that had all the feasts like thanks giving except it included another cake. I always order two cakes one for the party and the other

didn't know how they would react to Angelo being here but he was their father so he had a right to be there and there was nothing I could do about it. We all sat on the dinner table, the twins insisted Angelo and I sat on the same side. Angelo blended with my family and friends so well when
