Two hours later I'm sitting in the dining room along with all my siblings while we wait for the food and Alexander to enter. I'm still in my pajamas and some comfortable slippers.

After I was woken up from a really nice nap I didn't care for what I looked like but, I did comb my hair out since it was a mess. I heard from Santi that Alexander has something he needs to tell us tonight so I couldn't sleep through this dinner.

Unfortunately

I'm currently still in a daze from my nap and not fully awake. I mean I did just come down here like 5 minutes ago when Gio woke me up. Let's just say he's seen my grumpy side and if I open my mouth everyone else will see it as well.

I'm leaning my head on my hand just listening to whatever the boys are talking about, although like I said I'm in a daze so I'm not paying much attention.

"Nice pajamas Scar." Santi says laughing a bit as he looks at my Cookie Monster pajama shorts. I'm seated right next to him so he has a view of my pjs.

"Thanks." I say yawning a bit. I knew he was teasing me about them but I didn't have the energy to go on with it. God I need to wash my face or something. I'm sure if I don't imma smash my face into the dinner.

"You need to wake up Scarlett. You can't eat dinner half asleep and barley conscious." Sebastian says in a bland tone and when I raise my head to look at him he's looking straight at me.

In fact the whole table is looking at me. "Awe your so cute. He's right though Scarlett,  go rinse your face, dad is about to pull up." Gio says smiling at me like I'm the most precious thing in the world.

Sighing a little I nod and make my way to the restroom that's by the dining room. Turning on the cold water I quickly splash some on my face. When I'm done I grab an extra little towel from the sink cabinet and pat my face dry.

Walking back to the kitchen i sit back down right when Alexander walks in. He walks in with his regular blank and intimidating face. I swear I'm sure it's permanent on his face by now.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Let's eat now." He says as he sits on the head chair. Dude is so formal even to his own kids like at this point it's getting annoying. Anyways the cooks bring out the food in no time.

The boys look like their used to it though. And since I'm new here I'm not gonna say anything about it. How he treats his own sons ain't really my business no matter how bad I wanna know why he acts like this.

While we were in the beginning of eating Alexander decides to finally tells us what's up. He clears his throat and we all stop to look at him since the whole room was so quiet.

"So the importance of this dinner was to tell you- Scarlett...that my parents, siblings, their wife's, and your cousins will be visiting." Alexander says.
