"I miss you guys a lot." Alexi said as she wrapped her arms around Liam.
He laughed and hugged Alexi caressing her hair.
"We miss you too." Liam replied as he kissed Alexi's forehead.
"But Anna made it easier for us... Spending time with this naughty kid feels good for us." Cassandra said and Anna giggled.
"Yes!" Laim replied with a smile.
"Come... Let's sit and talk!" Cassandra said and they all nodded.
Samantha, Alexi, Liam and Cassandra sat down on the couches and Anna settled on Samantha's lap.
"So... What's going on?" Cassandra asked and Alexi shrugged.
"What do you mean by what's going on?" Alexi asked.
"I mean, how is your relationship going on with Martin?" Cassandra asked.
"Good!" Alexi answered.
"Are you troubling him with anything?" Cassandra asked and Alexi raised her eyes.
"Yeah... I am a small kid to troubling him right?" Alexi asked as she groans making Liam chuckle.
"No... I don't mean like that but I know that you know what I mean?" Cassandra asked and Alexi raised her eyebrows at Cassandra.
"You are a troublesome child. You have a lot of mood swings. You will not get satisfied easily!" Cassandra explained making Samantha smile sheepishly.
"Troublesome? Me?" Alexi asked and Cassandra nodded.
"Yes, you! You are a troublesome kid!" Cassandra answered.
"What? No... Not at all. When did I ever trouble you?" Alexi asked making Liam chuckle.
"Dad, say something." Alexi said and Liam nodded.
"No, you aren't a troublesome kid. You are a good girl!" Liam replied.
"Yes, I am!" Alexi said and Cassandra nodded.
"Yeah... A very good girl!" Cassandra replied and Alexi nodded her head.
"So... Tell me, how is your relationship with Martin? Don't tell me that you guys are fighting a lot." Cassandra said and Samantha laughed out loud.
Cassandra raised her eyebrows at Samantha as she laughed out loud and Alexi cursed Samantha.
"Why will we fight, mom?" Alexi asked making Samantha laugh more.
"Sam... Stop laughing!" Alexi said and Samantha nodded her head as she laughed.
"Why are you laughing, Sam?" Cassandra asked raising her eyebrows at Alexi.
"How would I know?" Alexi asked Cassandra.
"I guess, Alexi and Martin, fight a lot." Liam said and Alexi sighed.
"Fine... We do!" Alexi replied as she sighed cursing Samantha.
"Shut up now!" Alexi said and Samantha nodded her head as she controlled her laugher.
"You fight with him for what?" Cassandra asked and Alexi shrugged.
"Is there should be a reason to fight?" Alexi asked making Cassandra eyes wide.
"You fight with him just like that?" Cassandra asked and Alexi shrugged.
"Poor soul." Cassandra murmured making Samantha and Liam laugh again.
"What?" Alexi asked.
"Nothing, Love. Nothing..." Cassandra answered.
"You moved in with him?" Cassandra asked.
"I did." Alexi answered making Samantha sigh.
"Umm... Then, you both are not taking any next step in your relationship?" Cassandra asked and Alexi raised her eyebrows.
"Next step?" Alexi asked and Cassandra nodded.
"What do you mean by that?" Alexi asked.
"Umm... I mean... He didn't propose you yet..." Alexi cut off Cassandra in mid-sentence.
"Mom... We just got into a relationship and you want us to get engaged?" Alexi asked making Cassandra sigh.
"Mom, I am not like Sam or Johnson... They both have a mutual understanding between them. Of course, we have too... But I don't want to take our relationship to the next step so fast. They both are engaged because of you if not they would have taken time to think about it and would have got engaged... But look at these poor souls, they are going to marry in all 10 more days." Alexi said and Samantha frowned.
"Lexi, We don't regret anything... Yes, 3 months is so less time to get to know each other but its fine for us... Because we want to get married to each other as soon as possible too. We know we are made for each other and I thank our parents for making me get engaged and fixing the wedding in 3 months... If not they, I would have lost an amazing person like Johnson." Samantha replied.
"Sam, I am not telling you are regretting it. I know, Johnson is an amazing person. You both are made for each other and look so good with each other but It's not same with Martin and me... We both are so different from each other... I... I... It's hard to tell too... But, we are still not ready for anything. I am trying my best but... I don't know... I am still not sure about our relationship until I have clarity about what is going on in our relationship." Alexi said.
"What do you mean, Alexi? You don't love him?" Samantha asked with a frown and shocked face.
"I do... I do love him but... I am not sure about our relationship until we get engaged and I don't want to get engaged so soon... I want to take my time..." Alexi answered.
"I don't get you ever! You are hurting many people in this... Not just one... But many! Just don't waste his time if you don't want to settle down with him. He really has high hopes on you. I just hope you don't get back to the previous Alexi. Last time was much enough. I still don't want you both to argue in anything. Just think carefully when you think to do something silly." Samantha replied sternly making Alexi sigh.
"Girls... Stop! Don't argue about each other relationships. Just leave it... If you are destined to someone, they will come to find you wherever you are or whatever you do..." Liam said and Samantha and Alexi sighed.
"Alright... We are leaving for San Francisco tonight. Go take rest. I will wake you girls up when the lunch is ready!" Cassandra said and Samantha looked at her.
"I will inform Quency and will tell her to make arrangements..." Cassandra cut off Samantha in the mid-sentence.
"She already did, Sam... Don't worry. I talked with her." Cassandra said and Samantha nodded.
"Alright then!" Samantha replied.
"Let's take some rest?" Samantha asked Anna and she nodded her head and They both walked upstairs to Samantha's room.
