Chapter 6- unexpected news

James's P.O.V

A few weeks later my mom returned from her business trip and announced that there was go going to be an executive party in 5 weeks. My mom invited me and Lexi and everyone including Lexi's mom, sister and brother. Later on that same day Lexi and I were invited to a cook out/ camp out on the lake hosted by Kendall and Jo.

When we got to the lake Carlos was already in the water splashing both Logan and Kendall. As soon as the three of them saw us they ran out of the water and Carlos grabbed Lexi while Logan and Kendall grabbed me by my arms and legs as Carlos was already at the edge of the dock with Lexi and he carefully threw her into the water as she gave out a little scream of enjoyment. A second later her head popped back up for air. "I'm gonna get you Garcia"! She yelled trying not to laugh. "Bring it on"! Carlos called back sticking out his tongue out at Lexi taunting her. I shook my head as Kendall and Logan placed me carefully back on the deck. Carlos should have learned by now not to taunt Lexi because even though she looks innocent she really can kick his butt anytime she wants. Kendall, Logan and I quietly walked up behind Carlos and when we were close enough Logan nodded his head and with that Kendall and I reached out and grabbed Carlos by his arms and lifted him in the air and then carefully threw him in the water. One second later his head popped back up and got splashed by Lexi. I decided that those two were having too much fun so I did a canon ball and jumped into the water and when I resurfaced the next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face with water. When I opened my eyes to see who it was I saw Lexi laughing so I quietly swam under the water and right when I was in back of her I resurfaced and I lifted her up into my arms and gently kissed her. She smiled and kissed me back with a little more passion and then we went back on to dry land to get dry off and eat before Carlos takes all the food. After we all ate we sat around the campfire and looked up at the stars. Lexi rested her head against my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around her and I softly kissed the top of her head as we continued to look up at the stars while Carlos made his special smores. Soon everyone was tried and went in their tents. Lexi was pretty exhausted by then so I carried her bridal style to our tent. As soon as her head hit the pillow she was fast asleep.

The next morning I rolled over and I woke up and Lexi was gone. But when I went outside she was sitting on top of the picnic table drinking coffee starring out at the lake. I walked over to her after grabbing myself a coffee and I sat down next to her. She looked up at me and smiled. "So I've been doing a lot of thinking and I think it's time we started looking at dates for our wedding". She said as she took a sip of coffee. I didn't know what to say so I gently took the coffees and put them on the table as I grabbed Lexi and spun her around and then we started kissing almost fully making out when we heard loud clapping and whistles. We turned around to see the guys and their wives laughing. Lexi's phone started ringing so she walked away from the group. When she came back a few minutes later I could tell that something must have come up because when she came back she looked a little annoyed.

when I followed her into the tent she told me that he uncle had called a Dupree Family Meeting and her family invited me to come as well. That cant be bad right?

Lexi's P.O.V

My uncle just called a Dupree Family meeting today at the last minute. I wanted to spend the day just James and myself to discuss some wedding stuff. But the only good part about going to this family meeting was that James was invited to go. When we got to my uncles house I was surprised to see my mom's car parked behind my Cousin Charlie's car. When we got into the house my dad's brothers and their wives were in the living room talking about the latest gossip no doubt. Soon my Uncle EJ (Eugene Jr.) called for everyone's attention and I quickly sat down on a sofa chair and James stood behind me. "Thank you all for coming but before I continue I would like to congratulate Lexi and James on their engagement". "So with that being said I've called you all here because well as you know next month September 6 will be at least 15 years since Rebecca Dupree passed away and as she stated in her will that when the grandchildren were all grown up and entered adult hood we would all look at the will ".explained Ej looking at all of us and then my grandmothers Lawyer Mr. Jones sat at a table that my uncle had ready for him. Then he began stating the items my grandmother had left each of her children (accept my father) and her grandchildren. Finally after sometime they came down to my name and James placed his arm on my shoulder knowing that whatever my grandmother left me was going to be a new responsibility for not only for me but for him as well. "And for my only Granddaughter Alexa Margret Dupree I leave you my Home on Orchard Street. I remember how much fun you had each time you came over and by now you are either starting a family or have a family so I would like you to have my house" read Mr. Smith as everyone looked over at me as I just sat there not blinking.

I must have stayed like that for at least 5 minutes because James was patting my hand concernedly. "I'm okay sweetie". I said giving him a genuine smile but inside I was freaking out. James took me back to his house. The car ride was very quiet. When we finally got to his house we went inside and went into the media room as James closed the door so we could have some privacy. He sat down on the couch first and then I lied down resting my head on his leg. "I can't believe we got a house before we even made any wedding plans". I said. "I know so what are we going to do"? James asked as he kissed my forehead. "I don't know Babe I don't know "I responded.

What were we going to do?

To be continued.
