"So are you excited for your dinner tonight?" Daphne asked
"Honestly, no. I'm kind of scared" Alex said walking over to her iPod pausing the music
"Darling why?"
"Well, what if they don't like me?"
Daphne laughed "Your family is the nicest people in the whole town, well with the exception of Rumple and your mother that is."
"Really?"
"Yah! Your uh... What is it... Step sister Snow, I think or half-sister? Your family tree is so confusing" the blonde said massaging her temples "Anyways she is probably the happiest person ever"
"I would think so" Alex teased, "Tell me about my mother's boyfriend"
"Robin Hood?"
"Yah"
Daphne sprawled across of her bed while Alex sat on the edge of it.
"What's he like?"
"Well, he is such a great guy. He's super good at outdoorsy things as you can imagine, uhm he is very good with kids. He does have a son after all" Daphne said
"He does?"
"Well, yah from his old wife Marian"
"Oh"
"You didn't meet him yet?"
"Well, I've been in my room unpacking since I got here and all that type of things, I barely met Robin let alone my potential brother, Having a brother would be cool"
"But you already have one" Daphne said sitting up
"What? My mother had another kid?"
"Well, no. She adopted your niece Emma's kid, Henry"
"What?" Alex said confused
"Regina adopted him not knowing that he was her step daughter's daughter's child" Daphne said laughing, she loved the confused look on her best friend's face
"Uh, am I related to everyone in this town?" Alex asked
"Pretty much, just the charmings, golds, and oh peter pan is Henry's great grandpa" Daphne smiled
"Uh, god. So I have two brothers Henry and Roland when my mom gets more serious with Robin" Alex said confirming her relationship ties
"Yes" Daphne said nodding
"Well I went from having no family to having a whole village" Alex smiled
"Exactly" Daphne said sitting next to her. "You'll meet them all tonight, it'll be fun!"
"Sure" Alex said rolling her eyes, she wasn't a fan of socializing. She glanced at her watch, "It's almost time for dinner, I'm sure everyone is arriving. We should change don't ya think?"
"Yup" Daphne walked up to her closet and opened the door. Her jaw dropped to the ground "Why do you have so much clothes!" she shrieked
"Well when I was in art school I got offered a modeling contract they said I could keep the clothes" Alex laughed at Daphne's screams
"Fashion show NOW!" she screamed
"Were going to be late!"
"I don't give a crap!" Daphne said, she walked towards the speakers and started playing September by Earth, Wind & Fire. Blasting it as loud as it could go, everyone could hear it but she didn't care, She danced her way towards Alex and pulled her up, they both giggled and tried on every single article of clothing they could get their hands on. Daphne decided to wear a simple yet elegant white dress that ended above her knees, it had thick straps, she let her long blonde hair cascade down her back. Alex decided to wear black, her long sleeve dress ended above her knees as well, the dress hugged her body, she sported a little cleavage in the front. The back of her dress was the reason why she loved it, it opened up just above her waist and was crisscrossed and tied in a little bow at the top.
"Man do we look hot or what?" Daphne said admiring her dress in the full length mirror
"Indeed ladies you do" Sebastian said leaning against the door, he wore a three piece vest suit like ones you'd see in a 50s movie.
"I must say Mr. Ace you do clean up well" Alex said smiling
"Well, I'm hungry so goodbye you two" Daphne said winking at Alex who immediately blushed, he smiled showing off his dimples. So close by Jon McLaughlin played in the background, He walked closer to her and turned the music down just a little, he grabbed her waist and hand. Her breath hitched at the contact, he continued to smile and started to move, they danced gracefully. As the song started to end he dipped her, his face inches from her face, too close for her comfort.
Shit he's going to kiss me she thought to herself, his lips barely brushed hers. She panicked, standing up and walking to her bed staring at the ground. He frowned and sat next to her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"No, it's fine. I shouldn't have led you on like that" Alex said tracing the patterns on her bed with her perfectly manicured nail. He grabbed her hands and met her beautiful brown eyes
"I like you a lot Angel, the minute you walked into school I had to accidently close your locker to get your attention and –"
"I can't do this Sebastian" she stood up and peered out of her window watching as more guests entered her home
"Why?" he asked standing behind her
"Because, I can't have my heart broken again" she said, letting a tear escape her eye
"You think I'd do that to you?"
"I know exactly how guys like you are, you jump from girl to girl and not worry about what happens to her in the end and –"
He immediately crushed his lips onto hers, she responded immediately she felt like melting to the ground. His lips felt so good on hers, it was magical. She pulled back when she heard a thump on her door, she walked over to the door and opened it. Robin stumbled back and fell to the ground with Regina on top of them.
"Mom?" she said in complete horror
"Nice Robin" Sebastian said laughing, Alex turned around and pushed him
"What Angel?" he said teasingly, Robin helped Regina up. Alex shook her head
"Your worst then teenagers" Regina blushed and smiled a little
"What were you two doing up here?" Robin asked smirking
"Nothing that concerns you" Alex said pushing past them and headed downstairs, Regina raised an eyebrow at Sebastian before heading downstairs as well.
"Alex, wait" Regina said grabbing her arm
"What Regina?" she snapped back, yanking her arm away from her grip
"Why are you so against Robin and i?"
"Because you act as if you don't miss my dad" she yelled
"Hey!" Regina yelled back "Of course I do, not a day goes by that I don't. Robin is my second chance at love. Just give him a chance Alexandra"
Alex sighed, "Fine" Regina smiled and hugged her daughter, "Nice dress you got there Hun"
"Why thank you" she said smiling "Now, let's go meet the rest of the family" Regina said leading her into the dining room
"Okay, Alex this is Snow and David"
"Hi" Alex said smiling
"My god you are just breath taking, you look exactly like Regina" Snow said
"Thank you" Alex blushed
"Hi, I'm Emma their daughter"
"Hi, Emma" Alex said hugging her
"I'm Neal, Emma's boyfriend and Henry's dad"
"Okay, Neal and Emma equals Henry" Alex said under her breath. "Okay got it"
"Next we have the Gold's" Regina said ushering her to go meet them
"Hello, Alexandra. I'm belle"
Inside Alex just wanted to scream, her favorite Disney princess was Belle. This was kind of a dream come true. She had to take a breath before talking to her. "It's such a pleasure to meet you Belle" Alex said smiling way to big, Belle laughed
"I'm Rumplestiltskin but call me Rumple" he said kissing her hand
"These are our children Laura and Louis" Belle said smiling
"Very nice to meet you" Alex said
"That's hook over there next to Tink and Daphne, Daphne's dad" Regina said pointing at the three at the table. "Now that everyone is acquainted why don't we start this dinner?" Regina said clapping her hands together. The dinner lasted a good 4 hours and people still lingered around the house. Alex collected the dishes and stepped into the kitchen to clean them, of course Sebastian was right behind her.
"Hey, uh we need to talk" He said leaning against the counter, she leaned in and kissed his cheek
"There you are baby!" A voice said from behind them, it was Laura.
"Baby?" Alex said watching Laura kiss him, he pulled away and looked back at Alex
"Sebastian, Robin needs your help" Regina said leaning inside the kitchen then disappearing
"I'll be right there" he yelled, "I'll be right back, don't go anywhere please" he said jogging out of the kitchen. Alex immediately turned to Laura who saw the whole kissing of the cheek incident.
"I'm so sorry I had no-"
"Save it Princess" Laura snapped
"Uhm" Alex said
"Listen here, you stay the hell away from my boyfriend or else" she opened her palm and a small fire ball appeared, Alex took a step back. Laura smirked and walked out of the kitchen, Sebastian walked inside looking at her, he grabbed her hands "Alex, please let me explain"
"There is nothing to explain, you lied to me. I trusted you with my heart and you managed to break it within a couple hours" She said wiping her tears from her face
"Stay away from me" she said flicking her wrists, she vanished leaving him standing there alone.
