Chapter 172 - It's My Fault!

"We are dating!" Martin said with a smile looking at Alexi and she smiled brightly at him.

"What?" Everyone shouted making Marti and Alexi turn their heads to them.

"Umm... Yes. We are dating!" Alexi answered nervously.

"From... When?" Lucy asked.

"Umm... It's been 20 days!" Martin answered scratching the back of his neck.

"And you didn't care to tell us?" Damon asked.

"Uncle Damon..." Robert cut off Alexi in mid-sentence.

"No, sweetie... We are going to be a family... It's not good to keep secrets in the family. Didn't this guy has common sense?" Robert asked as he walked towards Martin.

"Dad..." Robert cut off Johnson in mid-sentence.

"No, Johnson... Please don't talk. This guy needs to know that..." Alexi cut off Robert in mid-sentence.

"It's my fault!" Alexi replied and everyone looked at them.

"Huh?" Robert asked.

"I told him not to say to anyone until... I... I figured my mind." Alexi answered and Robert raised his eyebrows.

"We were dating but I was not sure that if we can be happy in our relationship or not!" Alexi said.

"Dating is common in Hollywood and for A-listers, it's just a plaything. I have seen many fake relationships behind the screen. I know, how bad relationships can get!" Alexi said.

"I was not sure at all... If we get along or not!" Alexi said with a smile.

"But... Martin made me change the view of the relationships." Alexi said looking at Martin.

"Yes... He was a playboy too... He was! But not anymore! He changed himself and I believe him... Sam said if you like someone then trusts them first and later, see if it's going well or not but it doesn't mean that I don't have to try... I need to give time for this relationship as he gave him!" Alexi said with a smile looking at Samantha and she smiled brightly.

"So, I will trust, Martin. He was the only one, who made me feel good! I was not in a relationship before and I was not interested too until I met Martin." Alexi said as she looked at Martin and he smiled at her brightly. 

"I was not sure too if I can reveal my relationship out or not! Because I was not at all sure that if this relationship works or not! I was not at all sure if I can give time to this relationship with my busy schedule. I was not at all sure that if I can accept a playboy as my boyfriend because as I said I was not in a relationship before!" Alexi said with a chuckle.

"But... I had a relationship 7 years before... It didn't end up well thought!" Alexi said and Martin looked at her. 

"Lexi..." Samantha said and Alexi looked at her. 

"It's fine, Sam! I am not going to say anything. I am not at all comfortable to say about this now!" Alexi replied with a chuckle. 

"You had a relationship?" Liam asked. 

"Yes, Dad!" Alexi answered making Liam sigh.

"Why do you girls kept this a secret away from us?" Cassandra asked.

"Mom, it's just was a relationship. We didn't end good and it's nothing more or less!" Alexi answered making Liam and Casandra sigh.

"Dad, trust us... If you think, we are keeping secrets away from you then it doesn't mean we don't want to tell you... It means we don't want to hurt you with things! We just want to give you happiness and that's all... You made us so strong and made us fight for things that we deserve to get! And that's what, we did!" Samantha said as she walked toward them.

"Sam... We are your parents. We want you girls to share everything with us. It doesn't matter if it hurts us or not! We just don't want you girls to get hurt yourself... Fine, if you are going through something, we want you guys to share with us... It gives you relief. Maybe, we can help you or not! But, we can be with your every step and can support you mentally." Cassandra replied.

"Mom, I understand you guys but believe us... There is nothing else we are keeping things away from you. We just kept 2 things away from you. One is my relationship with Leo and the other is Alexi's." Samantha said. 

"Dad... We can understand what you feel right now! But please understand us too... We don't want you guys to worry about us. We just want to see the cute beautiful smile on your faces seeing our achievements and we get succeed. What's good than seeing our parents smiling because of us!" Alexi said with a smile making a tear fall down from Liam and Cassandra's eyes. 

"Your girls are really great, Liam... " Thomas said with a smile.

"They really are!" Damon replied.

"You need to be proud of them, Man." Robert said with a smile as he walked towards Liam and the girls.

"I am really so happy that my sons choose your daughters, Liam." Robert said with a smile.

"Yes, we are!" Jessica replied as she walked towards Liam, Cassandra, and the girls.

"You really made your girls so strong that they are capable of doing anything in their life... They will not ever get scared of problems in their lives. They just know to face them but not escape from the problems." Jessica said with a smile as she caressed Alexi's hair and another tear fall down from Liam, Cassandra's eyes. 

Liam, Cassandra looked at Samantha and Alexi. Samantha, Alexi smiled brightly looking at their parent's faces, and nodded their head. 

"You made us know, how tough life can be. But even though, it's tough, you made us learn how to fight for the problems... And just like that, your daughters became strong today, Dad!" Samantha said with a bright smile looking into Liam eyes.

"Yes, Dad... Just please understand that whatever we kept the secrets away from you is just to not hurt you and nothing else! You don't have to feel guilty or sad about this!" Alexi said and Liam just hugged both girls at a time.
