"I hadn't told her about it yet, Taylor." He said with a small laugh. Taylor joined before shaking her head.

"Sorry to ruin the surprise. But you two wouldn't mind if I brought her along, right?" She asked.

"Of course not. The more the merrier." I said smiling.

"Great! It'll be so fun, Willow. And you'll get to my parents and maybe a few of my cousins." Taylor said as she and Willow began to walk towards what I'm guessing is the kitchen.

"She's nice." I said before looking up at Tristan. He shrugged before looking down at me.

"How long do we have to stay?"

"However long Taylor wants us to." He rolled his eyes before nodding slowly.

"These people must be rich or something." Me and Tristan both turned around hearing Austin. I was glad to see that they had all finally gotten out of the car.

"Oh look, the rest of you have finally made it." Taylor said as she and Willow came back into the room.

"You must be Willow. Taylor has told us a lot about you." Brandon said smiling. Willow looked at Taylor and giggled.

"Are you bragging about me?" Taylor blushed before she nodded.

"Maybe just a little bit." She whispered before looking at the guys.

"That's Brandon, Austin and Nick."

"Lovely to meet all of you. Come on, the food's out back." Willow said before grabbing Taylors hand and leading her down the hall. We all followed behind them as they headed outside through the backdoor.

There were a few people wandering around, talking, drinking, eating, all the things. The sight of kids running around and adults enjoying each other's company made my heart swell. It's been a long time since I've been in an environment like this.

"Oh, these are my cousins Leo and Talia. They're siblings." Willow said as two people walked over to us.

The guy was tall and slender, brown hair buzz cut, with brown eyes. The girl looked almost exactly like him but her eyes were dark blue and her hair came down to her shoulders. They both felt very familiar to me, but I couldn't place it.

"It's nice to meet you." Leo said sweetly. Talia stared at me as if she was trying to solve a puzzle or something. It was freaking me out.

"Don't pay attention to my sister, she's not much of a people person." Leo said as nudged Talia's shoulder. She looked at him and glared before turning the opposite way and walking away.

"She's a bitch to be honest." Willow shrugged.

"It's ok. We have one of those." I joked. It seemed to lighten the mood because they all laughed.

"Please, grab something to eat or drink."  Willow said before she pulled Taylor off to the side.

"If you guys need anything don't hesitate to ask." Leo said before smiling and walking away.

"I don't like these people." Nick grumbled. I rolled my eyes before turning to look up at him.

"Don't start Nicolas." He glared at me before mumbling something under his breath.

"She called you Nicolas." Austin laughed before punching Nick's arm. Nick moved his arm to hit him back but I quickly macked his hand.

"We're not doing this today. Act right." They both looked at me weird before they smirked.

"I love when you get all bossy and shit, baby. It's so damn sexy." I sighed before I looked up at Tristan and Brandon.

"I'm gonna go talk to Willow and Taylor. Keep these two out of trouble please." I said before I walked over to Taylor and Willow. They stopped their conversation and smiled at me.
