Chapter 2:

It was now Friday and Evelyn had managed to get the house as clean as she could while the boys went out to go play some hockey. She was so excited that Alex would be coming today and reinforced it to her boys to be on their best behavior once she had gotten there. It was 4:00 in the afternoon when she heard the doorbell ring. Evelyn excitedly rush to the door and opened it to seeing a tall young woman standing at her doorstep. "Alexandria!" Alex smiled at her aunt and went to hug her.

"Auntie Evie!"

Evelyn immediately wrapped her arms around Alexandria and hugged her tightly. "Oh sweetheart its so good to see you! I've miss you so much dear!" Alex giggled as she released her aunt. "It's so good to see you too Auntie Evie it's been way to long." Evelyn sweetly smiled as she took a long look at her niece. She was absolutely beautiful. She had long dark brown wavy hair, piercing blue eyes, porcelain skin and a beautiful figure.

Evelyn then immediately knew that her boys were going to have a hard time having Alex around. However, she dearly hoped that maybe Alex would be a breath of fresh air for her boys, showing them that there are women like her out there who don't care about who they are or what they came from as long as they have a good heart that was all that mattered.

"Alex I swear you have grown into such a beautiful young lady please come in, come in before you catch a cold."

Alex smiled as she walked into her aunt's house, she saw how completely roomy it was and placed her bags down near the couch. "Aunt Evie I love what you did to this place it's an absolutely beautiful home." Evelyn grinned at Alex as she walked further into the living room.

"Well thank you sweetheart. How was the trip down here? You must be exhausted."

Alex shrugged as she pulled off her black leather jacket and placed it in the coat closet that was near the entry way door. "Not really the drive wasn't too bad to be honest." Evelyn nodded as she went to take Alex's backpack. "Well that's good dear, why don't I show you to your room and you can get yourself settled. The boys are out playing hockey and should be back soon. Once they get here I will start making dinner." Alex then quickly shook her head, as she grabbed her backpack from her aunt.

"Oh Aunt Evie come on now you don't have to do all that! Tell you what how about I get myself settled in and make some dinner for you and the boys? That way I won't feel like I'm so in the way."

It was then Evelyn's turn to shake her head. "Alex I insist you are here to rest, not wait on hand and foot for my boys and myself." Alex then started to laugh as she grabbed her suitcase as well. "Honestly Aunt Evie it's really no problem. I find it honestly relaxing when I can cook for a group of people. Especially since I don't do it that often. Plus it will give you a chance to relax as well; you've been working all your life and deserve some special treatment." Evelyn smiled at Alex and gently shook her head.

"I take it that you're not going to take no for an answer huh?"

Alex then gave her a large beaming smile and nodded. "Yup!" Evelyn then started to laugh, placing her hands on her hips. "Well alright then! Let's get you to that room so you can unpack and then you can start making dinner." Alex then grinned as she followed her aunt up the stairs.

"Sounds like a plan! Can I ask what meal do you and your boys really enjoy"

Evelyn then looked back at her niece and smirked as they both then climbed up the stairs.

"Bobby I can't believe you busted that guys nose! You're lucky he didn't call your ass on the cops!"

Jerry yelled, as they all walked into the house. Bobby scoffed as he pulled off his black leather jacket and threw it on the couch. "Shut the hell up Jerry that fucker had it coming!" Jerry rolled his eyes while Jack and Angel walked in.

"Hey Ma we're back! Dinner smell's really good!"

Bobby shouted, not noticing that Evelyn was sitting in the living room. "Good! I'm glad it does!" The boys looked surprised to see their mother not in the kitchen and in the living room instead. "Ma why aren't you in the kitchen?" Jack asked curiously, Evelyn chuckled as she nodded at her boys to follow her.

"Come with me there is someone I would like you all to meet."

The boys all looked at each other realizing that Evelyn's niece was probably here and decided to follow her. As they all walked into the kitchen they saw a young woman with her back to them crouched down in front of the oven checking over the meal she was making for all of them.

Angel had allowed out a low whistle once they all saw her, as she stood up closing the oven door. She was wearing a black form fitting long sleeve shirt, with a pair of boot cut blue jeans, and a black beanie that was sitting snugly over her head. Evelyn noticed the way her boys were staring and couldn't help but smile. Especially when she noticed the way Bobby was staring, she was really hoping that those two would get along.

"Alex sweetheart I have someone for you to meet."

Alex immediately turned around and allowed out a large smile once she noticed that all the boys were home. "Oh hi! You all must be Aunt Evie's boys it's so great to finally meet all of you." She said happily as she walked up towards them. Jerry was the first one to react and allowed at a sweet smile. "And it's really nice to meet you I'm Jerry. Ma talks about you so much it seems like that we already know you." Alex laughed. She noticed him hold his hand out to shake and arched her brow.

"And she talks about you all, all the time as well! But Jerry come on man what's this! We're family! And families don't hand shake! They Hug!"

She smirked, as she walked up to him and gave him a large bear hug. Jerry chuckled as he smiled over to his mother. "I like her." Evelyn and Alex giggled as she released her hold on him and looked over at the younger boy.

"And you must be Jackie. Aunt Evie told me that you're quite the musician. Think you can play me some songs sometime soon?"

Jack gave her a shy smile and slowly nodded. "Yeah I think I can. Do you play?" Alex then nodded. "Yeah well kinda. My friend and I used to do this small little band thing and I used to sing and play lead guitar but that was about it." Jack looked at her wide eyed and grinned. "You play guitar?" Alex then nodded. "That I do. Maybe when I get some free time I'll show you what I got if you show me yours." She said with a wink. Jack excitedly nodded, completely surprised that this College Girl knew how to play music.

"Definitely!"

Alex giggled and then looked over at the other man standing before her. Alex knew who he was immediately and gave a sweet smile and saluted him. "Angel Mercer Sir!" Angel couldn't help but smirk at her and nodded his head. "At ease soldier!" Alex laughed and gave Angel a warm hug.

"So Angel Mercer you're what everyone calls the pretty boy of the group."

Angel gave her a smug grin and shrugged. "Eh I guess I would have to agree with them on that one!" Bobby scoffed, while Alex laughed. "Well I'm not going to lie. They weren't lying." Angel couldn't help but be flattered by her comment while she turned her attention finally onto Bobby.

"So that must mean that you are Bobby Mercer."

Bobby smirked at her with his arms crossed over his chest and nodded. "Yup that would be me sweetheart." Alex nodded as she walked up to Bobby and gave him a warm hug. Once she and Bobby embraced she noticed that Bobby had pulled her into him much tighter than the other boys did, he also held onto her much longer as well.

Once Alex had broke the embrace, she felt Bobby's hands slowly moving down her sides to her waist. She couldn't help get lost into his eyes, she was always a sucker for dark brown eyes and man did he have them! However, the rest of the group noticed the little staring contest that they were giving each other and Jack ended up clearing his throat causing them both to break from their trance.

Alex immediately tried to recover, giving him a shy smile. "So I hear you're a huge hockey buff." Bobby gave her a closed mouth smile and nodded. "You would be right. We um actually just got back from a game." Alex smiled, crossing her arms over her chest. "Yeah I heard. I was wondering would you guys mind if I tagged along next time to watch you guys play? I'm a huge hockey fan too and would love to see you guys out there." Jack then immediately nodded.

"Yeah of course! We need a Ref what with the way Bobby plays!"

Bobby then glared over at Jack. "Shut up you stupid fairy." Evelyn then immediately looked over at Bobby reprimanding him. "Bobby!" Bobby looked over at his mother and sighed. "Sorry Ma." Alex laughed, while she started to walk back towards the oven. "Well why don't you guys go have a seat while I get dinner ready for you all." Jerry smiled and started to wave his hands.

"Alex you really didn't have to make dinner for all of us."

Alex looked back at him and shook her head. "It's alright I wanted to. You guys have been out in that cold for a while now and I figured that you all might be hungry so I decided to make you guys and Aunt Evie some dinner." Jerry couldn't help but be impressed with Evelyn's niece Alex seemed to not be what they all thought she was going to be. Alex had this very sweet and caring demeanor about her but he almost wondered if she had the same fire that her Aunt had.

The boys watched Alex pull out the meatloaf that she had made and continued to stir the vegetables. "I hope you guys like meatloaf. If you all want to go take your seats go right ahead. I already had set the table for all of you and dinner will be ready in a few more minutes." Jackie then immediately spoke up. "Would you like any help?" Alex laughed and slowly looked back over at him.

"Nah sweetie go have a seat, dinner will be ready soon."

Jack nodded and looked over at his brothers, giving them all a smirk due to the fact that she called him sweetie and immediately rushed over to the table along with the others. Once Alex had finished up, she then started to carry her dinner items over to the table. She noticed that Evelyn had sat at the end of the table while Bobby had sat in the other end. Jerry and Jack were both sitting on the side while Angel sat next to Evelyn leaving Alex a seat next to him and Bobby.

As soon as Alex had placed down the last plate she then smiled at everyone and clasped her hands. "Do you guys want anything to drink?" Evelyn then immediately shook her head. "Alex that is alright sweetie the boys can get their own drinks." Alex frowned over at her Aunt.

"Aunt Evie it's really alright these guys are probably exhausted from their game so why not let them just hang out and relax for a bit."

Bobby smirked over at Alex, he actually liked the fact that she was waiting on them even if she was the guest it showed him that she didn't want to take advantage of them or his mother and that showed him a lot of good character.

"Alright sweetie, but after tonight you are going to relax you need this time to rest and just have some fun."

Evelyn said warningly, Alex laughed as she walked over to the fridge and pulled out a couple of beers and walked back and handed them to Jerry, Angel and Bobby. Once Alex handed Bobby his, Bobby smiled up at her taking the bottle from her hand, his fingers gliding against the soft skin of her hand. Alex smiled back at him as he fully had the bottle in his hands.

"Thank you sweetheart. Now pop a seat so we can get to know you better."

Alex chuckled as she ran real quickly to grab her, Evelyn and Jack's drink and then finally sat down in their seat. Once everyone was completely seated they all held hands and said their prayers in thanks for their food. As soon as the prayer has finished everyone released their hands from one another except Bobby. He unknowingly held onto Alex's hand and this didn't go unnoticed to Alex. Alex gave Bobby a small smirk and quietly cleared her throat causing Bobby to realize that he was still holding onto her hand. He immediately released his hold on her and took the platter from Jerry while everyone took their plates.

"So Alex tell us something about yourself."

Angel asked, while everyone started to eat their dinner. Alex took a quick bite out of her food and looked over at him curiously. "What would you like to know?" Angel then smirked at her. "Anything like do you have a boyfriend? Or something?" Alex couldn't help but laugh while Evelyn glared at him. "Angel!" Angel looked over at Evelyn innocently and shrugged his shoulders.

"What? Just wanted to get to know the girl"

Evelyn rolled her eyes while Alex continued to laugh. "It's ok really Aunt Evie. And to answer your question Angel no I don't have a boyfriend." Angel grinned at her, while Alex smirked back over at him. "So what about you stud? Do you have a girl?" Bobby then snickered as he took his bite from his food.

"More like a psychotic lunatic is the more appropriate term for it."

Angel glared over at Bobby while Alex smiled over at him. "Really how so?" Bobby then started to laugh. "Trust me when you see her you'll understand." Alex grinned over at Angel, while Angel was still giving Bobby death glares. "Shut up Bobby!" This caused Bobby to start laughing even harder while Alex looked over at him innocently. "How about you Bobby do you have a girlfriend?" Bobby then shook his head.

"Nope! Why waste my time with having a relationship when I can just have fun whenever I want."

Alex arched her brow at him; she knew that he was completely full of shit. "So… you're saying that you don't want to come home to a wife, maybe a kid or two and have her take care of you in all sorts of ways?" Bobby slowly smirked at her; he liked the way she thought. "I wouldn't mind that. But the question is where am I going to find the girl who will do that for me?" Alex shrugged as she took a sip from her drink.

"Seems to me that you're still looking and that's why you're so cynical on relationships. I think what you're doing is that you're making fun of your brothers relationships because you want to be in one and can't seem to find the right one. And well to be quite honest it's pissing you off."

Bobby glared at her while the boys snickered. "What are you some kind of psychiatrist or something?" Alex then started to laugh. "No… But I did take a psychology class once. It's just the vibe I get off from you. You think that you're better off alone and the only way you can prove to be a complete man is to be the alpha and not have any distractions. In all honesty I really respect that. It's a sacrifice most men don't want to take." Bobby stared at her for a moment while Evelyn smiled at the two of them, she really had hoped that Alex and Bobby would get along and felt that in a way that they both were good for each other. Bobby was strong, and was a fighter while Alex was loving and caring two qualities that the other needed and Evelyn wanted so badly for them to at least become friends who could depend on one another.

Jerry on the other hand decided to change the subject figuring that it was getting way to intense. "So Alex, Ma has mentioned that you're going to school to be a doctor." Alex then broke her staring contest with Bobby and looked over at Jerry and nodded. "Yeah I'm actually glad I have gotten as far as I have to be honest I really thought I wasn't going to. This program has been kicking my butt since I've started but it's just so rewarding ya know? To know that I'm going to be saving someone's life just blows me away!" Jack then looked over at her curiously.

"So what kind of doctor are you going to be?"

Alex then shrugged. "I'd like to be in the ER, or maybe Cardiac Surgery. I haven't really decided yet." Jack nodded while Jerry smiled over at her. "How do you like life at University of Michigan?" Alex shrugged, taking another bite out of her meal. "It's alright. I stay at a house with a couple of my roommates and it can get kinda crazy sometimes." Evelyn gave Alex a slow smile, while arching her brow.

"So what are you roommates like?"

Alex rolled her eyes and started to laugh.

"Crazy. Each one has their own way about them like Cordy she's the partier she loves being the center of attention and goes out with any guy that walks on his two legs, Amy is really shy sort of like a book worm but she can be funny but doesn't realize it, Marli on the other hand though is the one I get along with the most. She's pretty low key but is a lot of fun. However, everyone says I'm like the mom at the house and Cordy is always insistent that I need to go on her blind dates with her just to make sure if the guy is alright… Which also means that she tries to hook me up with a blind date that is so far off kilter on what I go for that the night ends up being a bust anyways."

Evelyn chuckled and gently shook her head. "You sound just like me when I was your age! My friends used to do the same things with me." Alex scoffed. "It's crazy! Cordy always goes out with these losers who thinks their God's gift to women and I always end up sitting there listening to this bozo talk about his daddy's money it just gets old after awhile. Oh! And this get's good she had me go out with this one guy who made an entire life plan for he and I. He figured that since I'm going to be a Doctor that I would add into his life plan perfectly." Jack scoffed, carrying a disdained look upon his face.

"He sounds like a real tool."

Alex nodded animatedly, and continued on. "Oh he was. And when I broke it off with him he told me that I ruined everything and I would probably end up with some dirty old car mechanic. And my response to that was well at least if my car ever gives out on me at least he'll be able to fix it unlike him who would need to drop about 500 dollars to some hot shot mechanic to fix it for me!" Bobby snickered, slowly shaking his head.

"I bet he loved hearing that huh sweetheart?"

Alex shrugged. "I don't care I hate idiots like him who look down on people who do real honest to God work for a living."Angel snickered as he looked over at Alex. "Damn girl talk about being a spit fire!" Alex started to laugh as she played with her food. "Well what can I say sweetie… I know what I want." She smirked; Angel smirked over at her noticing that Bobby was glaring at him. 'Oh yeah he has it bad for her' Angel thought to himself. 'Better be careful with this one'

"So Alex what kind of band did you play for?"

Jack asked curiously, Alex then looked over at Jack and smiled. "Oh it was just a small band that Marli and I had set up. We played at a couple of bars but it was nothing to big. Once we both got further into our Premed we kinda just dropped it and concentrated more on studying." Jack nodded, placing his fork and knife down. "You said you played lead vocal and guitar?" Alex nodded. "Yeah, I do a bit of piano too." Jack then automatically grinned. "Did you have someone teach you how to do all those?" Alex then shook her head. "Self trained. I've always been that type that can listen to the song and play it right back without looking at the sheet." Jack just eagerly grinned at her while Evelyn smiled.

"So Alexandra what are your plans for your winter break?"

Alex shrugged, finishing up her meal and starting to pick her plate up. "Honestly Aunt Evie I have no clue. Cordy, Marli and Amy are close by so I figured I could hang out with them but I really wanted to spend some time with you and the guys that is if you all aren't busy." Evelyn gently shook her head and pointedly looked at all of her boys.

"No dear it wouldn't be a problem at all we would love to spend some quality time with you as well and your friends are more than welcome to come visit if they'd like."

Alex grinned at her Aunt and nodded. "Great! I'll let them know! Just so you all know though that Marli's fiancé will probably be with her a lot since they don't get to see each other that often. So she might or might not be around most of the time." Evelyn immediately grinned once she heard about Alex's friend.

"Your friend is getting married?"

Alex nodded as she started to take the empty plates from the boys. "Oh yeah and she's extremely excited about it too. They've been together since I could remember. Mark's a really nice guy too, very sweet." She said softly, as she went to take Bobby's plate. "I got it; you need help carrying the rest into the kitchen?" He asked, while everyone looked at him as if he grew a second head. Alex smiled at Bobby and gently shook her head.

"Nah that's ok if you want I heard that there's a Wings game going on tonight if you all want to shuffle into the living room I'll take care of all of these and meet you all in there."

Bobby then shook his head, now rising up from his seat. "How about I help you with all these and that way you can watch the game along with us when it starts." He offered, while everyone was wondering who was this man and what did he do with the real Bobby Mercer? Bobby liked the sweet smile that Alex was now giving him, he could tell that she was somewhat shy but she had a strong head on her shoulders. It was something he admired, and in a way she reminded him so much of his mother.

"Well if you insist it's really alright."

Bobby then shook his head. "Nah I insist it's not fair that you made dinner for all of us and then have to clean up after us as well. I'll help you out so you can come relax and hang out." Alex then gently nodded, picking up another plate. "Well alright then. Thank you Bobby." Bobby nonchalantly shrugged, placing his hands in his pockets.

"It's no problem sweetheart."

Alex gave him a slight nod and then started to carry the plates to the kitchen. Once she was out of sight, Jack immediately whipped his head towards Bobby who was staring at the path that Alex headed to go into the kitchen. "I don't even know who you are anymore!" Bobby immediately broke out of his trance then glared back over at Jack.

"Shut up you stupid fairy."

Angel and Jerry then snickered as they rose up from their seats. "Annnnd he's back." Jerry commented, Angel laughed and then looked over at him. "Man do you think you can be more obvious?" Bobby then immediately turned his glare over to Angel who was grinning from ear to ear.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Angel then sighed. "Come on man! Oh Alex don't you worry! I'll help you with those heavy dishes so you can come watch the game with us! Come on man! You never cleaned one dish since I've met you!" Bobby then clenched his fists, starting to get even more angry. "Fuck you Angel! I'm trying to be nice to our guest like Ma asked us to!" Evelyn then immediately spoke up.

"Bobby what did I say about your language?"

Bobby sighed and looked over at his mother apologetically. "Sorry Ma." Evelyn nodded while Angel continued on. "I'm just sayin man. You've never acted like that to any of our other guests why is this one different?" Bobby grounded his teeth, getting more and more irritated. "What the hell is wrong with me trying to be nice to Alex? She's done all this nice stuff for us and not one of you even fucking said thank you or told her that the meal she made all of us was good! And you all are sitting here busting my balls because I'm trying to show my appreciation? No offence but Fuck you all!" Evelyn then once again spoke, laughing at the fact that Bobby was getting so upset over this.

"Bobby honey I'm your mother and even I know that, that's a load of crock!"

Bobby immediately looked back at his mother, innocently. "Ma she's your niece, which mean's she's my cousin why would I have the hot's for my cousin." Evelyn smirked, gently shrugging her shoulders. "Probably because she's not your cousin in real life." Bobby looked at his mother incredulously and immediately shook his head.

"Ma!"

Evelyn started to laugh, as she rose up from her seat and walked over to her son. "I'm going to be honest Bobby. If you have an interest in Alex it wouldn't bother me." Bobby then arched his brow. "What?" Evelyn slowly shook her head and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Well let's just say that I was hoping that you two would get along. I think the both of you would be good for one another." Bobby gave her an awkward look while she continued.

"Alex is sweet, caring, and charming. You are strong, witty, and powerful. I think that in a way you two both need those traits in order to survive and in what better way would that benefit the two of you if you two started spending some time together?"

Bobby thought over Evelyn's words and kinda like the idea of them. He allowed out a long sigh as he started to pick up some of the plates. "Look I am just being nice all because you idiots think I have something for her can all go to hell! Alex is sweet but she's not my type." He tried to pull off in front of his brothers, but they all knew better.

"Meaning she's not the type you can usually get."

Jack snickered, Bobby rolled his eyes and started to place his middle finger against the bridge of his nose and started to move it up and down. "Oh yes the fairy decides to speak about something he would have no clue about! What a wonderful way to prove that he's not gay at all!" Evelyn sighed, she knew that Bobby was just upset because he was caught but she really needed to work on him with that language. She watched Bobby take the remaining plates over to the kitchen and almost wondered if maybe Alex would be able to have more luck in that department than she did.

Meanwhile, Alex was busily cleaning the dishes while Bobby walked in. "Hey sorry about that." Alex looked over at Bobby and smiled. "It's alright. So Bobby I take it you're the oldest?" Bobby nodded, as he placed the plates onto the counter and then leaned against it. "Yeah… Gotta make sure those assholes in there don't do anything stupid." Alex laughed, and gently shook her head. "Assholes huh?" Bobby looked at her for a moment and started to laugh.

"Yeah… Look Alex we rag on each other a lot so don't be surprised if some of that goes right towards you. It just means we like you."

Alex laughed as she continued to scrub. "That's alright Bobby I'm kinda used to that kind of stuff already." Bobby smirked at her, as he crossed his arms over his chest. "So why haven't we met till now? Ma's had us since we were kids and this is the first time I've ever met you." Alex sighed, placing the dish on the dish rack. "My mother and I didn't have a lot of money to travel. She worked two jobs while I worked one and went to school. Which meant that we didn't have much time to travel." Bobby nodded, but then looked at her curiously.

"I thought your dad was some business tycoon. At least that was what Ma said once."

Alex laughed and gently bowed her head. "He was… but after he died he decided that he would leave everything to his mistress and their supposed kid." Bobby scoffed, rolling his eyes in the process. "Fucking jackass." Alex nodded and gave him a closed mouth smile.

"Yeah. But that's all the motivation I needed to make sure that I do something with myself and never ask for anyone's help. You know after my mom died I just felt this constant pang like this complete and utter loneliness and when Aunt Evie came to the funeral she helped give me the strength I needed to pursue with school. I was getting ready to go to U of M when she died, not really knowing what I wanted to do but when it all happened I realized that I wanted to help people, I wanted to save people from tragedy, I wanted to give people a second chance."

She then looked over at him and smiled

"After all everyone deserves a second chance."

Bobby grinned at her, for some reason he found her very endearing. "Yeah well my philosophy was always shoot first, ask questions later." Alex snickered, handing him the wet dish as he took a towel to dry it. "Honestly… Not really surprised by that was Michigan Mauler." Bobby looked over at her and smirked. "How the hell did you know that one?" Alex deviously grinned at him and placed her attention back onto the dirty plate.

"Did I forget to mention that I'm a very avid Detroit hockey fan?"

Bobby chuckled, taking the plate from her. "I think you did earlier." Alex then continued. "Also when Aunt Evie told me that one of her boys was trying to take up the sport I decided to look into it, maybe try and catch a game or two when I got the free time but then you got kicked out so that made it difficult." Bobby smirked at her, he really liked the fact that she looked him up and figured that maybe he should push his interest in her a little bit more.

"So uh… Ya wanted to come watch me play huh?"

Alex giggled and gently nodded her head, not rising her eyes to look at him. "Yeah I did…" Bobby nodded, that smirk still on his lips as he placed the last plate down. "Well I wouldn't want to let a fan down now would I? So how about you sweetheart come watch us play tomorrow?" Alex immediately grinned up over at Bobby and nodded.

"That sounds great! I'd really like that."

Bobby then took the towel he was using to dry his hands and then walked over to the fridge to grab a beer. "Great. Now come on the games about to start." Alex then followed Bobby into the living room to see everyone sitting in their seats getting ready to watch the game, while Evelyn was upstairs. Bobby noticed that there was only one seat left and gestured for Alex to have it. "Here sit by Jackie I can sit on the floor." Alex then quickly shook her head. "No, no that's alright I'm fine with sitting on the floor." Bobby then glared at her as if she had lost her mind.

"Just sit on the couch alright? I said it was fine!"

Alex looked at Bobby completely surprised by his response and slowly sat down next to Jack. Bobby then nodded in approval and then sat down on the floor resting his back against the couch between Jack and Alex's legs. Jack looked at Bobby as if he had grown a second head, while Jerry and Angel were smirking at each other. "So Alex who's your favorite player?" Jerry asked, Alex looked over at him and shrugged.

"Oh um I would have to say some classics such as Steve Yzerman, Brendan Shanahan, Darren Mccarty, Sergei Fedorov, and Chris Osgood."

Bobby smirked and slowly laid his head back looking at her upside down. "Good choices." Alex looked down at Bobby and smiled, she had to admit that Bobby looked really adorable just now. She could tell that he was the leader of all the brothers and that they respected him and looked to him for their answers.

But she could tell that Bobby could really be a hot-head too and that was something she needed to look out for. She then heard Jack starting to speak and realized it was directed towards her. Alex then quickly looked over at him apologetically. "I'm sorry Jack what did you say?" Jack smiled at her and repeated himself.

"I wanted to thank you for dinner Alex it was really good."

Alex couldn't help but give him a large smile and leaned over to ruffle his messy hair. "Awww it's no problem Apple Jack I'm glad that you enjoyed it." Jack was grinning from ear to ear while Bobby snickered. "Apple Jack. We usually call him Cracker Jack." Alex laughed and smiled over at Jackie. "I like that! I'm going to have to start using that." Jack frowned and then glared over at Bobby.

"You had to tell her that didn't you?"

Bobby snickered, keeping his attention on the game. "Well you can look at it this way Jackie boy. She can either call you Apple or Cracker Jack. OR! She could call you by what you really are which is a little flaming fairy who tries to hide in the closet but if failing miserably." Jack's glare grew even harder, while Alex looked at the both of them completely confused. "I'm so lost right now." Angel then snickered.

"Don't even try to figure it out baby girl it's Bobby's way of pissing Jackie boy off."

Alex nodded and continued to watch the game. Throughout the rest of the night they all had to listen to Bobby scream at the TV when something went wrong. Alex couldn't help but laugh as he ranted and raved. She thought that his passion for the game was very amusing and she could tell that his passion is what driven him whether it was good or bad. Once the game finished, the guys were channel surfing and Alex decided that she was going upstairs to visit with her aunt.

Once Alex made it to her Aunt's room she gently tapped upon the door. "Come in!" Alex heard her say, so she then opened the door and walked inside, closing the door behind her. "Hey Aunt Evie." Evelyn looked up from her book and smiled over at Alex who was slowly walking into her room. "Oh hello sweetheart! Getting tired of listening to the boys argue over the TV?" Alex laughed and gently sat down on the bed beside her.

"Nah I'm used to it with my roommates."

Evelyn smiled as she closed her book and shifted herself to face Alex. "So tell me sweetheart what do you think of my boys?" Alex shrugged, giving her Aunt a warm smile. "Jackie is very sweet, Angel is hilarious, Jerry is very nice and Bobby… Well Bobby seems nice as well." Evelyn laughed when she mentioned Bobby and nodded her head.

"Bobby is a hard one to figure out. But I can tell he's quite taken with you."

Alex arched her brow at her Aunt, not really knowing what she meant by that. "Why's that?" Evelyn shook her head still laughing. "Well let's say Bobby is never the first one to offer to help clean dishes, or lets the guest take his own personal seat to watch the game and let's just say the way he looks at you I have a feeling you're going to have to watch yourself with him." Alex scoffed, rolling her eyes in the process.

"I highly doubt that he's interested in me Aunt Evie. He seems like the type of guy who sees girl, sleeps with girl, dumps girl and never calls her again."

Evelyn started to laugh, sure Bobby was known to be that type but for some reason the way he was looking at Alex told her something otherwise. "Yes that is somewhat true with Bobby but to be honest Alex I'm going to tell you a little secret. He does have a sweet side and when he cares about someone he genuinely gives his whole heart out to that person. His loyalty will always lie with the people he cares for. And if you end up in that category I have a feeling that he won't walk away." Alex arched her brow at her Aunt, a smirk forming on her lips.

"Aunt Evie you're not playing match maker are you?"

Evelyn shrugged, giving Alex a secretive smile. "Well it's like you said sweetheart you're not seeing anyone and Bobby isn't seeing anyone what can it hurt?" Alex snickered and gently shook her head. "Well I'm kinda not seeing someone." Evelyn arched her brow while Alex continued.

"His name is David and we're kinda on again off again. We're in a really complicated relationship."

Evelyn nodded, giving Alex a skeptical look. "How complicated?" Alex shrugged, giving her a sad smile. "Well let's just say that he cheated on me and for some stupid reason I keep coming back to him like he's the only guy I could ever get." Evelyn frowned, taking Alex's hands into hers.

"Sweetheart you deserve better than that but I can see why you're hesitant to get out in the dating world again. But promise me sweetheart that you're not going to go back to that David. If he's hurt you before then he doesn't deserve you."

Alex gave Evelyn a small smile and gently nodded her head. "It's hard Aunt Evie I think I love him but I just can't be with him not after what he's done but when he comes back and begs me to forgive him for some reason he just melts all that heartache away and makes me want him all over again." Evelyn nodded, now rubbing Alex's back gently. "Sweetie you don't deserve that. You don't deserve someone to treat you that way. You're too good for that." Alex sadly smiled over at Evelyn and nodded as she rose up from the bed.

"I appreciate that Aunt Evie but I think I'm going to stay away from relationships for a little while. I really need to just concentrate on myself and school. Then I can worry about being in a relationship."

Evelyn chuckled and slowly shook her head. "Whatever you say darling." Alex chuckled as she opened the door, slowly making her way out. "Night Aunt Evie." Evelyn smiled at her niece as she picked up her book.

"Good night sweetheart."

Alex gently closed the door behind her and headed towards her room, seeing Bobby standing at the door to her bedroom, waiting for her. "Sorry if we scared you away." Alex looked at him curiously then realized that she never really had mentioned that she was going to go upstairs to just visit with her Aunt. "Oh you guys didn't scare me away just wanted to visit Aunt Evie is all." Bobby smirked at her, resting his frame against the door with his arms crossed.

"You know I think it's best if I should warn you. Jackie is a little fairy which means he's not into girls so don't bother trying on him."

Alex arched her brow at Bobby but then realized that he didn't like the attention she was giving to Jack. "Well considering that he's only 16 and I'm 22 that would make things somewhat difficult." Bobby chuckled, bowing his head down.

"Yeah guess that would."

Alex laughed, crossing her arms over her chest as well. "You know I think it's cute that you're so protective of Apple Jack. You know not wanting an older women screw with his heart that's rather noble of you." Bobby scoffed, shifting his body away from the door.

"I'm not being noble I just don't want any competition baby."

Alex gave him a dark smirk and slowly walked up towards him. "Competition huh? Well that's interesting because I always looked at Competition as a very reliving… satisfying… pleasurable feat… especially when you overcome the competition. So tell me Bobby. Are you the Alpha or the Beta?" She whispered seductively, moving closer to him. "Are you the wolf or are you the hare?" Her body was now mere inches from his, Bobby smirked down at her as she seductively smirked back at him.

"The hunter or the hunted? Tell me Bobby… which one are you?"

She whispered, as she leaned her lips over his ear. Bobby allowed out a shallow breath as he placed his hands on her hips as she looped her arms around his neck and giggled into his ear. "I'm whatever you want me to be baby." Alex darkly chuckled as she pulled away from him.

"Pity because I was really hoping that you would say that you're the wolf. I guess you're not as dominant as you think you are Bobby Mercer."

Bobby looked at her completely surprised as Alex turned the knob to her door. She then turned around to look back at him and gave him a sweet smile. "Have a nice evening Bobby I'll see you in the morning." She said loving the fact that Bobby was completely speechless.

Bobby looked at her for a moment and slowly nodded, while Alex shut the door behind her. Bobby stared at the door for a quaint minute still not totally understand what was going on. However, the realization came to him when he realized that she was screwing with him, and she screwed him good.

Bobby had allowed out an irritated scoff as he placed his hands into his pockets and started to walk away from Alex's room.

"Fucking Tease."

He mumbled and began to head back to his room.
