Feeling agitated, I shouted "what are you still doing Alex? How long will it take you to pick up gifts?"
She then came out wearing a navy blue short sleeved dress with grey boot heels and a small grey purse to match.
"I'm sorry. I had to take a shower and change my dress." she apologised and gave me her wrapped present. I put it in my backpack and we left the house by 3:30.
Patricia frowned when she saw us arrive. "You are late." she accused me.
"I'm so sorry Tricy, blame Alex for taking too long to dress up." I replied.
"What? That's a lie. I only took 20 minutes." Alex argued, "20 minutes is a long time Alex." I fired back at her and she glared at me playfully while the Russo's were laughing at the action.
"We missed you Alex, where have you been hiding?" Mona asked her.
"I'm sorry. I have been busy with school, that's why my presence had been scarce."
"Yeah, she had her brain get all wacky with designing." I said and carried Patricia on my arms.
"No I'm not." she stuck her tongue out at me. I scoffed "That's childish. What are you, a five year old?" I taunted her.
She rolled her eyes and towards Nate. "Who is he, Mona?" she asked Mona.
