At La Boulaie
As they were in the living room chatting, they heard the door opened all they heard were four loud voices as they walked into the living room "Daddy they movie was awesome." Megan said as she ran to Cole "yea I'm glad you like it princess." "I must admit for a kid's movie it wasn't as lame as I expected." Sam stated, "Yea it was fun." Jack said as he went over to give his mom a kiss. Lexi was very preoccupied with her phone she had a huge smile and everyone else couldn't help but noticed it, her mom then went up to her "Lexi are you ok what's that huge smile about?" "Nothing mom I am just happy that I start college this fall." Langston was not convinced but she let it go for now. Everybody said their good byes The Thornhart's left along with the Rivera's and Jack left was the last to leave.
Langston and Markko
Langston was talking to her publisher on the phone who wanted to set her up for her next book tour. She hung up and Markko then walked into the bedroom "Honey did you notice something different about Lexi today?" "No she is always the wild spunky girl she has always been for the past eighteen years just like her mom I might add." "Something is different about her she was so preoccupied this evening ever since she came back from California she has been acting weird." "Well I haven't picked up on that." He then went over to her and pulled her into his arms "I knew that I would regret you being raised by Dorian some day because it's beginning to rub off on you." "What is beginning to rub off?" She said with a puzzled faced. "That overprotective look that you have in your eyes the one that Dorian usually get before she starts to ruin one of her children's lives." At that statement, Langston got up and pushed Markko away, Markko then regretted making the statement. "I am concerned for my daughter that's all, I am not planning to ruin her life I just want what's best for her." "Babe I not saying you were going to ruin Lexis's life, I just want you to be careful, we have had the pleasure in raising a very smart girl who has her head on her shoulders, we have never had a major problem with her apart from the typical teenager stuff." Markko then walked over to her turn her to him looked into his wife's beautiful eyes "One of the many reasons why I married you is because you have always had good judgment, and that is something you have past on to your daughter. I love you; don't worry so much, I'm sorry about the whole Dorian remark." He then kissed her and soon it became a passionate kiss after a while they broke apart form each other "that's one of the many reasons why I married you." Langston said as she pulled him closer. Just then, they heard a knock on the door both looking a bit disappointed "Come in." Langston said Lexi opened the door and walked in "hi guys I am spending the weekend at Kate's we are going out tomorrow and its easier to leave from her house." "When will you be back sweetie?" "Sunday evening." "Wow." Langston stated "Mom you have to get use to me not being here what's going to happen when I start college?' " Your right sweetie have fun, be careful." Lexi was surprised at her mom's answer Lexi then gave her parents a kiss and left "Wow honey I'm impressed." Marko said "What?" "You know what." He said as he wrapped his arms around her "Not giving your daughter the third degree and just trusting her that is good." "Your right about what you said earlier and she's a good kid." "I know makes me want to have another one." Langston then looked surprise "Mr. Rivera, are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting?" "I believe so Mrs. Rivera and we have this place to our selves for the weekend." With that said, they started kissing.
