It All Started With Hello [Book One In The Hello Series]

Chapter 33- Princeton's Birthday Part 2

"Well, I like you, Artemis. I'm Anna. Princeton's older cousin. You are so beautiful." Anna said.

"Thank you." I smiled shyly.

"She's fine with me. Nice job, Jake." On of his boy cousins winked. Princeton laughed as the atmosphere became fun and relaxed.

"Jacob, why did it take longer for me to meet Artemis then it did Bella?" Miss Teresa asked as she pulled Bella, Prince, and I away from the rest of the family.

"Well, when I went back to New Orleans last month to surprise Artemis, I dragged Bella along." Princeton answered.

"I really wanted to see New Orleans, Auntie Teresa. I didn't even know about Artemis until we went to her house and they kissed each other." Bella laughed as Prince and I blushed.

"Nice job, Jacob." Miss Teresa said. She hugged me then whispered in my ear, "No puedo esperar hasta que se aparte de la familia ."

(I can not wait until you are apart of the family)

I looked at her and smiled.

"Me neither." I said. She smiled.

"Now leave the family alone, Jacob, Bella, and Artemis. Go talk to your friends." Miss Teresa instructed us.

"But I never get to see you." Prince said as he hugged his mom. I smiled at the sweet scene. Prince always talks about how he gets homesick and misses his mom. I feel homesick just being here for two weeks without my mom and sisters and brothers.

My smile turned into a frown.

"What's wrong, Artemis?" Bella asked me. I shook my head as Prince and Miss Teresa looked at me.

"Nothing. I'm fine." I smiled.

"Mmhmm." Prince cut his eyes at me. I hate how he can read me like a book.

"She's homesick." Princeton said. I glared at him-- giving him my best death glare.

"I felt the temperature drop a few degrees in the room. Who's my Twin glaring at?" Ray asked.

"Me." Prince laughed.

"Another time I shall ask why, but right now. Greek Goddess, come meet a friend of ours." Roc said. He pulled me, Bella, and Isis over to some dudes.

"Aye Diggy. Twist. Jacob. These are our girls." Roc said. The boys turned around and I almost fainted. Diggy Simmons, Lil Twist, and Jacob Latimore stood in front of me. I almost screamed. The boys know how much I love Diggy and Jacob.

"So these two must be Isis and Artemis. And you must be Bella-- Prince's cousin." Diggy smiled. Oh my God! He knows my name! He knows my name!

"H-hi." I stuttered. Everyone laughed at me.

"Starstruck much?" Babydoll laughed as she passed by.

"I'm Diggy. It's nice to meet the girls that make their heads turn." Diggy smiled and kissed our hands. I almost fainted.

"Hey ladies. I'm Jacob, but its Big Daddy J if you down." Jacob smiled and hugged us. We all laughed.

"Lil Twist." Twist nodded and hugged us.

"Hi. I wish Jari, Brittany, and Juno were here." Isis smiled then sighed.

"And who said we weren't?" Juno asked behind us.

Isis and I spun around and squealed. We hugged Juno, Jari, and Brittany tightly.

"It feels like forever since we saw you!" I said as we did a big group hug.
