Soon they heard their aunt calling everyone to come out in the garden. So guests had arrived and it was time for her aunt and uncle to give their welcome speech.
"Everyone Welcome to our house warming party."
The perfectly well arranged crowd gave a lovely round of applause to them.
"We are glad today to have you hear in our new home. My family and I want to use this opportunity to welcome you to our lovely Paradise this afternoon and we are grateful to you all for coming and joining us to celebrate this wonderful moment in our lives. You are welcome, please let us all enjoy ourselves, there is lots food, drinks and wine and soft drinks for everyone and even dessert. Thank you all so much and have a wonderful time at our new home," Judith said with her husband by her side holding onto her and smiling.
Glasses were raised up and they made a toast and everyone clapped for them and all cheered to a good life.
"Come in guys, we will go to the kitchen and have lots of food and snacks there," Patrica said.
So they went into the kitchen, where lots of food, cookies, cakes of different variety and colour.
"Jerry serve yourself my Darling," Pat said.
Jerry was excited he came and took as much as he liked as far as his sister gave him the go ahead to do so first.
Patricia served her and Alexa two plates of chocolate cake and chocolate cookies as well. It used to be their favourite in college and took some chilled soda from the huge refrigerator inside the kitchen.
As soon as they were done, two kids ran inside the kitchen. It was Patricia's cousins Joseph and Joanna.
"Hey Joseph stop running after yours sister," Patricia yelled her Joseph.
"She came into my room and unplugged my video game while i was having fun. She just like to ruin my fun time," Joseph said.
"He does not want to play with me nor teach me so I can play with him," Joanna said.
"Please teach her, is it not boring that you are playing alone?" Patricia said.
"She is a girl, she would not understand the game," Joseph said.
"I would," Joanna angrily replied.
"OK you two it is enough, you are supposed to be celebrating with your mom and Father but instead you keep causing trouble and you can not say hello to these guest that you both can see. Or are you two now blind?" Patricia said.
"Hello....." they both said casually.
"Hello..." Alexa and Jerry said.
"Which game where you playing?" Jerry asked.
"Need for speed," Joseph said to Jerry.
"Which?" Jerry asked.
"Payback!" Joseph replied.
"Cool....." Jerry said smiling.
"Wanna play?" Joseph asked.
"Really?"Jerry said shockingly.
"Sure man, At least you should be more fun than my hotheaded sister," Joseph said.
Alexa looked at him, giving him her consent to go have fun.
So they went up to Joseph's room. Jerry took his food with him too. Joseph room was built like a secret lair. it was huge and had lots of gadgets and superhero pictures on his war.
His bed sheet had the wallpaper of star wars printed on it and it was so cool with the Air condition on and not too Bright but just the way Jerry loved the sunlight entering his own room at home.
"Hey Joseph, your room is cool man," Jerry complimented.
"Thanks, here is your pad let's play and you can be comfortable too," Joseph replied.
So they played and had fun while his sister went out to the garden when she heard her friends had come.
Meanwhile Alexa and Patricia had a moment to themselves and so they went up to the room that Patricia was staying while she was here visiting.
"So tell me Alexa, how have you been. How is your mother?" she asked.
"My mother is fine, she is doing much better," Alexa replied.
"The last we talked back then, you told me she had to carry out surgery for her liver. That must have been so hard for you girlfriend. I wished I had cash then I would have assisted you." Pat said.
"It is OK dear. You sent me money back then for her drugs and I will always be grateful to you for that," Alexa said.
"Oh stop it. You are my sister and your mom is like my mother as well so I am here for you," Pat said.
"So what about the surgery? how do we raise the money. I ams very sure it a huge amount of cash and on top of this that jerk Richie broke left you." Pat said.
"He wanted me to do all sort of wild things and have almost wanted to force me to have sex before he helped me again. I was not too comfortable with the idea of knowing that my boyfriend wanted to sleep with me just because he wanted to help me with little money." Alexa said.
"Pat it just felt so wrong you know" Alexa continued to explain and became sad remembering all Richie said to her on the phone that day at work when she called him and even at the hospital.
"Hey..there there...he does not deserve you, I had always told you. Even while we were in school I told you that you should go out with amazing guys I do not know why you decided to settle for a stupid guy like him. He is a Coward and good riddance to his ugly ass," Pat said.
"Patty, you know he was not ugly," Alexa said looking suspiciously at Pat.
"Well he was a little bit cute and stupid as well. You will meet cuter guys and I am sure now you are working in that Amazing company, you will meet a very handsome elegant bachelor that will sweep you off your feet," Pattie said. They both laughed and raised their glasses and cheered to love.
