"A fan girl crush," I add.

"What about now after talking to him?" Mitch asks.

"Okay I like him more than an average fan girl crush, but come on it's not going to happen," I tell him.

"You never know," Mitch responds as he sits next to me on my bed.

I smile as I rest my head on his shoulder. "Do you think he'll be mad at me if I did move on though?"

"Kristine Micheal would want you to be happy again," Mitch tells me. "I know you have your heart set to be like your grandma, but it's too early for that."

I laugh. "Fine I'll keep an open mind about it, but me liking Avi stays between us."

"Good now come on I'm hungry and need your famous mango margarita," Mitch says.

I laugh as we make our way out to the living room. Where I see Chinese food party size sitting on the table.

"You guys," I say with a big smile on your face.

"Make the drinks," Kirstie tells me.

I nod as I make us all different favorite fruit margaritas.

"Well id like to make a toast for this family is once again whole. We are so happy to finally have you here Kristine and I know you said you'd think about joining Pentatonix," Scott says.

"Oh Scott I actually thought about it," I speak.

"And?" Kevin asks.

"Yes, Id love to join," I tell them.

"Now it is truly a celebration," Avi says as he makes eye contact with me smiling like tomorrow which was my cheeks heat up as I couldn't help but smile.

"Cheers," Kirstie says.

We all clinked glasses as we all take a sip.

"Our bartender is back," Mitch comments.

I laugh as we all started to eat. Before we knew it the party was over seven margaritas later. Everyone was a sleep. Scott and Mitch crashed in Kirstie's room. While Kevin crashed in the extra guest room we have for this occasion.

I on the other hand was still awake cleaning up. I look around not sure where Avi went. Once I finish I see him sitting in front of the bonfire pit we have outside. 

I smile as I made us some hot cocoa, grabbed us a blanket, and my speaker. I make my way outside joining him in the patio couch hut we have.

"Hey," I say as I hand him his cup.

"Oh thank you," Avi says as he holds mine while I wrap the blanket around us then placing my speaker playing a little music before taking my hot cocoa. "This was sweet of you."

"It's nothing. It's an instinct of mine I guess you can say," I tell him.

"Do you do this for your boyfriend?" Avi asks me as he takes a sip.

"I don't have a boyfriend, but I used to do it all the time for my ex Micheal," I respond.

"Please tell me how he let you go?" Avi asks with a little laugh.

"Umm he didn't mean to leave," I reply.

"What do you mean?" Avi asks with a very concerned face.

"Micheal he died almost two years now," I respond.

"Oh I'm so sorry," Avi says.

"Thanks, but it's okay he's not in pain anymore," I say as I feel someone wipe something off my face.

I look at Avi to see I was crying.

"Sorry," I say as I wipe the tears.

"Don't be," Avi responds.

I smile as I look up at the sky.

"You know I was going to ask you out to coffee and this cute concert in the park that they're having next Saturday, but I think I'll wait," Avi says. "I'll wait till next week to ask you."

"Thank you." I respond as I give him a kiss on the cheek and caressing his face before he got up walking inside.

"Goodnight Kristine."

"Goodnight Avi."
