"Astraea" I heard my brother yell from right outside my room
"What?!" I yelled back as I got up from my bed frustrated when I heard no answer back. I head toward the door opening it just to be met with the ugly faces of my brothers.
Santi, Ares, and Atlas leaning on my doorframe impatiently while my second oldest brother—Mattias—was laying down on the floor throwing chips in his mouth.
"What do you guys want?" I asked again trying to contain the urge to roll my eyes at them
"You forgot?" Santi questioned
"Forgot what?" I raised an eyebrow confused
"The business dinner? The one Dad told us about yesterday during breakfast? Ring any bell?" The sound of my elder brother—Alejandro—was unexpectedly heard
"Right...That dinner. Well maybe I may, kind of have forgotten about it" I awkwardly chuckled scratching the back of my neck.
"Raea, go get dressed" He sighs "quickly" he added
"Fine, fine. But even Matty and Atlas didn't get dressed yet so it isn't just me" I tried to defend myself while pointing toward my brothers who were both wearing Christmas-themed onesies and fighting over chips.
He takes a look at them then shook his head in disbelief "Mattias, Atlas. Stop and go get dressed. Immediately" He hissed sternly making their movement instantly come to a stop.
They nodded and went to their respective room while I salute my brothers mockingly and re-entered my room.
I sigh walking toward my big closet trying to choose what to wear. My eyes drifted between the hundred of unnecessary cloth my family had gifted me—not that I wasn't grateful because I am but they spoil me a little bit too much.
My eyes landed on the cute, white dress Ma bought me when we went shopping a few days ago. The dress was stunning. It was shoulderless yet the huge sleeve of the dress was hugging my feminine and muscular arm perfectly. It wasn't too short yet not long either. The dress wasn't too slim and didn't show off my growing curves but it did highlight my figure beautifully.
I decided to wear it along with a pair of Nike shoes. Spraying a bit of my favorite perfume of the moment, I grabbed a random black bag and went downstairs.
"I'm done" I announced as entered the living room where everyone was seated
"Finally" Ares muttered making me glare at him
"You look beautiful princesa," Pa said aprrochubg me as he proceed to kiss me forehead
"Ahh, so stunning. My baby is growing up!" Ma exclaimed as she pulled me in a hug
"Thank you" I shyly muttered
"We are gonna need to fight a lot of bots tonight but you are gorgeous Hermana" Sandro added making the other males agree with him while I just rolled my eyes
"Let's go"

Entering the fancy restaurants I took a look around and it was empty. Pa and his business partner most likely rented the whole floor just for themselves. A young man in his early twenties let us to one of the huge tables in the middle of the room where we took our seats.
"What kind of food do they have here?" Mattias asked curiously
"I hope they have Italian or Indian food on their menu. I am craving those for the past few hours" Atlas commented
