Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Okay. All I have to do is invite her. But why am I so nervous? It's not like I'm about to ask her to marry me.

Not yet.

"Shut up brain!" I scolded the tiny voice that spoke up in my head.

But what if she refuses?

She won't, just tell her your dad is the one that wants to have the dinner.

I was interrupted from my thoughts when my phone chimed. I tapped on the green button and place it against my ear.

"It's Alexis. I was wondering if you wanted to take Kylie out today?"

Right on time.

"No I'm busy today."

"Work?"

"It's a Saturday, why would I go to work on a Saturday?"

"Well I was just guessing. You always call me to ask if you could hang out with Kylie, but you didn't today."

I glanced at the clock it was ten to ten and I smirked. "In other words, you were missing me."

She scoffed, "Nevermind. I'm hanging up!"

"No wait!" I yelled.

"Do you want to have dinner tonight?"

She paused. "No, I'm busy."

"But my father is the one requesting your presence. Actually I put things out in the worst ways. The thing is that I was supposed to call you to tell you that my father officially wants to meet Kylie and so he thought having dinner with the both of you would be ideal."

"Oh..I see. What time is the dinner?"

"Seven."

"Okay then. We'll be there."

"I think you want me almost as much as i want you but something's holding you back."

"I'm hanging up now!" She quickly said.

Now to prepare for tonight.

A L E X I S

After I got off the phone with Kyle I realized something- I've not set foot inside that house since Kyle and Penelope.

Oh God! What is happening?!

"What's got your panties in a twist baby?" Sophie's voice echoced through the room.

"Kyle. His parents invited Kylie and me over for dinner and I just couldn't refuse!" I confessed.

"Aww baby," she started while stroking my hair. "I'm glad you didn't turn them down, Kylie needs to meet and know everyone in her family. But why's it's bothering you?"

"I don't know! Won't it be awkward? I mean, they know my real name is not Mackenzie Poiner and that Kyle and i had a relationship in the past. I just don't know what to expect there."

"Days have passed, that must have gotten used to it by now and besides the wedding is cancelled now and it's not like you  Kyle we're getting it on while he was engaged to Penelope right?"

I didn't answer so she continued.

"Even if you guys were getting it on, it's not like his parents ever caught you guys in the act, right?" Sure asked again and I still didn't answer.

Her eyes went wide.

"They caught you guys?!" She gaped at me and I silently cursed my luck.

"Not technically. His mom did see him in house once and it was really early so.." I trailed off.

"Early in the morning? So you guys had unprotected sex once again!?" Sure whisper yelled.

"Well, I'm not sure. We were drunk and..."

My sister buried her head in her hands while slightly shaking it. "This girl! The first you guys had unplanned sex, Kylie was brought into this world. I hope you-"

"What! No! No! I highly doubt."

"Was there pulling out?!"

"Sophie!" I yelled, slightly sounding like a scolding.

"Don't yell at me, I'm trying to know if I'll be an aunt soon again."

"Well no you won't."

"Like I'd take your word for it." She scoffed at me.

I ignored her and continued, "Back to what I was saying."

"Oh. Well just avoid eye contact with the lady. You know females talk with their eyes, so just avoid her gaze and it will all be fine."

"Thanks sis!" I smiled.

"Anytime girl." She smiled back.

"Where's Lili?"

"She's downstairs having breakfast and watching cartoons."

I nodded my head in understanding.

"I'll be going to Mark's in the afternoon and I'll be out all night. I am aware that your fashion sense has gotten a lot better than when you were in high school-"

"Please don't remind me!" I let out soon exasperated sigh and cover my face in shame.

I really wore long skirts, vests, sweaters with socks and black flats for no reason. It's no wonder Christina bullied me. I really burnt all my high school clothes while I was in college and well, I couldn't even find my glasses anymore, I decided to stick with contacts.

"Hello. Am I talking to myself?" Sophie's voice passed through my ears and was brought back to reality when I saw her waving her hand across my face.

"Sorry. I spaced out." I truthfully told her.

"I was laughing at your high school days. How I would tell you to go shopping with me but you would never."

"I still don't get why you even brought up my fashion sense from school." I hissed.

"Well I was going to say that since I won't be around to help you decide on what you should wear, that I could help you right now."

"Oh. Thank goodness you brought it up, you know how indecisive I can be sudden it comes to clothes."

"I know baby sister, I know." She smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"So what do you suggest?"

"Well since you're meeting your future in-laws officially, I think that black, long sleeved dress. It's not too revealing but not too nun-ish either. It's the right amount of sexy."

"Okay, I know the one."

"Then for Kylie, there's that blue dress that her father bought for her. Let her wear that."

I nodded.

"Hair. You should definitely curl your hair! You look amazing when your hair is curled then put Lili's hair in a ponytail."  She instructed.

"Yes ma'am." I gave her a salut and she left.

Time went by pretty fast today. Either that or I be was too nervous. Sophie had already left to Mark's and I was alone with Lili.

I put on the dress Sophie suggested and I decided to go for a natural look with the make-up. I curled my hair and I looked good, Sophie was right after all.

Is this too much?

I also got Kylie ready and it seemed we were running a little bit late. I hurriedly drove to casa de la Matthews.

As I pulled into the house, I could feel my heart beat faster.

Why am I so nervous? It's not the first time I'm meeting them.

I came out of the car and held Kylie's hand and walked to the front door. I rang the doorbell once but nobody answered, I rang it twice but nobody answered. I was a about to hit it for the third time as the door opened.

The face that opened the door was rather unfamiliar and I just stood in thought.

Could her be a serial killer?

Maybe he abducted the Matthews and was waiting for me to go in so they could add us to their hostage.

"They are waiting for you at the dining room." He announced bringing me back to reality.

My grip on Kylie's hand became firmer as we walked to the dining room.

"Daddy!" Kylie yelled as she yanked her hand away from mine and took off running to a figure at the end of the room.

"Kylie! Stop running!" I called out after her and increased my walking pace.

I awkwardly stopped when I saw everyone standing up on their feet while Kylie was in Kyle's arms.
