Above is a picture of Christy's parents' house.

Christy's POV

As soon as Melanie and I stepped into the elevator, it was silent for a few seconds before Melanie broke the silence.

"Well Miss King, I must say those boys were very handsome indeed, what do you think?"

I giggled at her opinion on the Alexander brothers; yes that is what I am calling them.

"Well Melanie, I must disagree with you on that!" I said with a smirk.

"Oh! Miss King, how could you disagree, I would so go for one of them if I were younger!" She said with such a humorous tone.

"What about Mr. Hudson, Melanie?"

"Oh! Danny, I guess he's ok, when we were younger, you could say he was handsome but now he is just so annoying and he's jokes, God!, the neighborhood children call him Mr. Grumpy of Borington, because he loves to scare them and every time they walk past our house he will tell them the same old jokes from when he was a kid!" she said laughing at her husband. I must say they have a very good relationship, I remember one time, I had to go to Melanie's house to drop off something and the way they joke around with each other and laugh together, it is such a pleasant sight because after all these years, they were still able to keep that spark going and I admire them for that.

"But Miss King, I heard from the other girls in the office, that they are such playboys, all 5 of them!" Melanie said in a stern tone, like she was warning me.

"Well I will not be surprised, I am sure as soon as they stepped into the lobby, they made the girls at the front desk swoon over them!" I replied to her with an uninterested tone.

Finally the elevator reached the top floor and I made my way to my office and switched my laptop on and got to work.

2 hours later...

I finally finished planning the next meeting with the board members and head of each department regarding the current progress for the month.

I looked at the clock on the wall near the door and saw that it was time to go to dinner at my parents' mansion in Manhattan.

I waved goodbye to Melanie after telling her that she could go home, and then I walked to the elevator and pressed for the lobby.

The elevator doors opened with a ding and I stepped out. The people in lobby said goodbye and I waved back. I walked to the black car parked outside the entrance and Sam opened the back door for me and I jumped in. He jumped into the driver seat and asked where to Miss Christy? And I replied to my parent's house.

It took us about 45 minutes to get there from my office.

As I walked up the stairs and rang the doorbell, I was greeted by the welcoming smile of my sister Elizabeth.

"Chrissy!! I thought you weren't coming!" Elizabeth ran and gave me a bone crushing hug.

"I texted dad and told him, I was coming." I said while catching my breath after my sister's hug.

"Eli, who is at the door?" Isabelle asked while walking to the door to see who it was and started running towards the door when she saw who it was.

"Chrissy! I thought you were not coming!" yelled my over-excited sister Isabelle. You must be wondering about the name, when my sisters were young they could not pronounce the "t" in my name and started calling me Chrissy, so you can say that's my nickname.

"I told dad, I was coming" I am pretty sure that my father forgot to tell them or maybe just wanted to surprise them, I don't know.

I walked towards the living room and saw my father lying on the couch, watching fast 'n loud, on Discovery Channel, I walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek before going to the kitchen to find my mother.
