What's taking them so long – Alexis POV

What's taking them so long? Even the newspapers are all over him… or them. He should hurry. Since that article, even my teachers are harassing me to get his number. And I don't think 'bachelorette nr. #3 is the best match for him.

I'm more mature then most of my age. More mature then my parents and my grandmother even. But that's not too hard. My dad's childish, my mum's a shopaholic, and my grandmother's a drama queen. And that's why I love them. They are my family, after all, and they are so much fun to hang out with. But I'm avoiding the point here.

Being more mature has a lot of advantages. For example: I notice more things. I notice how my dad feels about detective Beckett, or Kate, to be less formal. After he first started shadowing her, he had been happier then I had seen him in years. He got over his writers block - which he had tried to keep a secret from me. But of course, I noticed – and the first Nikki Heat novel had been an absolute bestseller!

Of course, I'm scared as hell sometimes. My dad doesn't always listen to her, which may put him in danger. And when he stopped working at the precinct…… Well, I don't think I've seen him sadder before. Luckily, he apologized, and everything went back to normal. He kept teasing her and vice versa, and I'm doing… whatever it is I do. School, mostly.

But he hasn't told her how he feels yet. And that when they've been involved with each other before! Not that my dad knows I know. I notice such things, but I keep quiet about them. I'd wish he'd hurry though. I already approve, and so does gran. She told me when she dragged me upstairs after Kate arrived. She hoped my dad would finally have the guts to tell her, but she was wrong. I do think they've grown closer, so I'm sure it'll come in time. But I would appreciate it if they hurried up a bit. All this tension, it's driving me crazy!
