Letty woke up to her aunt opening her blinds.
"Aunt Maria!" Letty yelled covering her eyes.
"Up! Breakfast is waiting for you, we are leaving in a half hour you'd better be ready." Maria told her niece before leaving the room to go and bother her husband before he left for the day. Letty laid in bed for a few minutes before getting up.
~~~~~~~
"So what about this?" Maria asked Letty holding up a dress.
"That ones nice." Letty observed, she was never into the whole shopping thing. Mia would be having the time of her life right now, when Mia came down for a visit she knew her best friend and aunt were going to become shopping buddies.
"Oh Scarlet! Just like your mother!" Maria said referring to her older sister whom died years earlier in a car accident with Letty's father.
"Aunt Maria. . ."
"Yes dear?"
"I'm hungry." Letty whined, Maria laughed and nodded.
"Let me borrow your phone and I'll call that misfit cousin of yours. He'll be more than happy to treat you to lunch." Maria said, Letty happily handed her aunt the phone. Maria dialed the familiar number.
"Yeah?" Matty's voice came through the phone.
"Is that anyway to talk to your mother?" Maria asked jokingly.
"Oh! Sorry Ma what's up?" Matty asked sitting up straight as if his mother could see him.
"Scarlet is hungry." Maria told her son.
"I'll pick her up." Matty said
"I know that's why I'm calling you dear one." Maria said sarcastically, causing Letty to laugh.
"Where are you guys?" Matty asked rolling his eyes.
"Where do you think?" Maria asked, Matty nodded and stood up from where he was sitting in the bar.
"Okay Ma be there in five." Matty said hanging up.
"Five more minutes of shopping Letty, we'd better hurry." Maria told Letty, her niece only groaned.
~~~~~~~
"So why we gotta be pickin' up your cousin?" Johnny asked, Chris rolled his eyes at his cousin's stupid question, Taylor turned around in his seat and glared at Johnny for a reason no one could quite figure out.
"Because dumbass she's my cousin and I love her, she's hungry so we're gonna get her somethin' to eat. That alright with you?" Matty asked sarcastically just like his mother would.
"Sorry I asked." Johnny said holding his hands in the air.
"You'd better be." Taylor muttered, Matty looked at his in the corner of his eye.
"You say somethin'?" Matty asked, Taylor just sat there and Matty took that as a yes, but I ain't tellin' you answer. In exactly five minutes there were at Maria's favorite store, Matty watched as Letty dragged his mother out of the store with a smile on her face as she saw him. Matty got out of the car and walked up to them.
"I've come to your rescue." Matty told Letty giving his mother a kiss on the cheek.
"She didn't need rescuing." Maria argued. Letty watched as Johnny and Chris got out of Matty's new SUV while Taylor stayed in the front seat watching her. Letty swallowed hard and turned away from his prying eyes.
"I'm hungry." Letty whined to her cousin. Matty laughed at her and they said goodbye to his mother. Walking back to the SUV Letty watched Taylor get out of the front seat and held the door open for her to take the seat, carefully she walked between him and the door and got into the seat. Turning back to him she stared at him for a few seconds while he stared back.
"Were we leaving?" Matty asked glaring at Taylor. Taylor only glanced at Letty once before making Johnny move into the middle of the seat so he could sit.
"Where to?" Matty asked Letty.
"Where do you think?" Letty asked, Matty groaned and started toward his family owned bar in the city.
"So Letty why you here in the city?" Johnny asked, he was quickly shut up by his three friends telling him to shut up in unison.
