Alicia hugged Tuesday back. "Yeah! That's perfectly okay," she said with a nod. "Oh, urm, you can put your bags by the sofa." She pointed. "My dad or me will get them a little later. When it's not so... busy. Annnnd there's the doorbell."
"Lexi! Vanan!" she squealed happily, nearly tackling her to friends in embrace. The fifteen year old pulled back and smiled at her friend's younger siblings. "Hey Katie, hey Legend." She waved. "I want you both to meet my younger cousin Mackayla." Alicia looked over her sholder. "Kay. Come 'ere. Katie and Legend are here," she said, as her cousin walked over.
Mackayla shuffled over to Lic's friend's sibling's. At least they looked her age. And were probably easier to talk to than all the teenagers here. "Hi. I'm Mackayla," she said, managing to give them a small smile.
Garret chuckled. "Not a problem. I'm happy to have you all here," he said to Alex. Everything seemed to be in order here. Somewhat. It didn't look like they needed him "Massie, I'm going to go upstairs for a minute, make sure all the rooms are ready."
Alicia got the door as she heard another knock. "Hi," she said brightly to the two boys. "Urm, you're Tanceren and Jeremy, right?" she asked, hoping she was right. |
