Strings Of Fate

Chapter 73: Not there yet

Catching on Cherri turned to him. "Yeah, she's not really into the whole mansion thing. Says it's too much work walking around such a big place. Plus she kinda digs being out here away from the town." Shrugging Cherri turned to the door. "It helps her get inspired for new songs too."

"Songs?" Cherri didn't answer his comment, instead using the knocker on the door. They waited a few minutes, footsteps could be heard behind. Angel shifted his weight nervously, not just because this would be his first meeting with Cherri's aunt, but also because the others had arrived before them.

He'd discovered a little about Cherri's aunt here and there. From what she'd told him the woman was as independent and stubborn as Cherri herself. Though she was hardly a pushover too.

The door opened and Angel stared....and then he looked down. His brows raised at the short women standing in the doorway.

She perked up upon seeing Cherri on the porch. "Cherri darling! Oh its so good to see you!" She moved forward hugging the women's waist because that's all she could reach. "And here I thought you were sending me dancers just to bail and have fun on the town."

Cherri cheeks darkened at the innuendo. "Uh..Auntie.."

Her aunt laughed, lightly hitting her hip. "Oh I'm kidding sweetheart!" She continued to laugh. "Though they are quite the lookers, are you sure I can't have one of them?" Another laugh.

Cherri nervously laughed. "No Auntie there all taken."

Snapping her fingers her aunt shrugged, "oh well. I tried." She snickered.

Angel didn't pay much attention to her comments, taking them lightly. When Cherri had mentioned an aunt Angel had pictured an older woman. Like a grandma.

Though he wasn't expecting this.

She was a short plump woman and fairly young by the looks of it. Short curly blonde hair in a bobbed style. Pale skin and lively blue eyes. He was also sure this woman had makeup on with her lips red and eyelids coated in black. She wore a purple dress that extenuated her curves and bust.

It was one of those rare moments Angel was jealous of a women's appearance. Wishing he could pull off such a thing. But with this body? Not likely.

"Uh guys, this is my aunt Mimzy," Cherri said gesturing to the short woman. Both twins politely smiled.

"Hi! It's so nice t' meet you!" Molly was first joyful as ever to meet anyone new. Especially another female.

Mimzy smiled, brushing some hair away from her eyes. "It's very nice to meet you, Molly." She turned to Angel now. "And you must be 'Angie'." Mimzy chuckled.

Angel also did, but it was far more nervous. "Um..Anthony is fine." Mimzy extended a hand and Angel took it, planting a kiss on her knuckles.

"Oh? A gentleman." She snickered, "you don't have to do that dear. But thank you." She pulled her hand away. "Now, why don't you come inside? I'd hate to have you stand out here all day, as nice as it is."

"Thank you kindly," Angel answered it was just natural for him at this point whenever meeting someone new. Well, a lady more than men.

The inside of her home was just as nice as the outside. It held dark wooden accents and floors. They walked down the short hall to the living room, passing the kitchen along the way. Knickknacks-paintings, wall decor, and flowers- decorated the walls mostly for accessories.

Into the living room lay a fireplace. A large carpet in the center surrounded by chairs and a small love seat. On the left wall held grand stairs leading up to the second floor.
