She pressed further "please Alec"
"Don't bother begging me because it won't happen" If he actually gives the phone to Raquel then the call would not end today.
"Fine!" Erica gave up "actually I called you for another reason also"
"Which is?"
"Guess!"
"Erica I thought you were already older than this? Are you going to say it now or should I end the call?" His voice carried a hint of boredom.
"Geez! and the award of the most grumpy man of the year goes to... My dear brother Alec!"
"It's not year end yet sis and you are already giving me an award, are my that talented?" He chuckled.
"Tell me, do you actually get paid for being so grumpy and uninteresting?"
"Maybe.. about 90 dollars each day? I don't know"
"How about you ask for an increment? Prolly 200$ or something? They might agree to it, considering the fact that you are very good at the job!"
"I would have asked for it, but I'm not broke so thank you" he seemed like he was considering it for a second before shrugging.
"Damn you!" Erica cussed at him
"I love you too"
They both both erupted in soft laughter.
"Alec who do you love?" Raquel's voice suddenly sounded as she walked into his room, sweating like she just ran a marathon.
"Who is that?" She asked again and stood crossed arms Infront of him with a pout.
"Someone is jealous" Alec smiled
"I'm not jealous"
"Yeah whatever"
"Alec is that my sis in law?!" Erica's excited voice could be heard over the phone.
"Sis in law? Is that.. your sister? You have a sister?"
"No I don-"
"Yes, yes he does! I'm his sister! Alec you are unbelievable, switch to face time now c'mon! I want to see her"
Alec rubbed his temple and switched to face time, he could already feel a headache coming.
The face of a pretty lady with deep blue eyes and curly golden hair came into view and a soft smile tugged at his lips, he hadn't seen his sister for a year now and she was glowing and looking very healthy.
He was happy to know that her husband was worth her going against their parents for and is taking good care of her.
"Hi I'm Raquel"
"I'm Erica, Alec's senior sister, and you're so beautiful!"
"You too!" Raquel beamed
"You don't have to flaunt the fact that you are older than me" Alec rolled his eyes.
"Oh my goodness look at Alec with same ugly and boring face!"
"Boring? most certainly but ugly? no, not at all. Your brother is one of the most handsome men I've seen" Raquel disagreed with her statement and Alec nodded at her, feeling proud but he suddenly froze.
"One of the..? Who were the previous one's Fair?"
"Not your business" she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Woah! Alec don't usually respond to my remarks but now someone is standing up for him, I'm so touched. It's good to have a wife" she wiped her non-existent tears.
Alec's lips twitched and he said "Erica you look to have added more weight now, I can see you are really good over there"
"Yeah, Justin is a good man.. and I also called you to tell you that.." she was stuck between laughter and tears ".. that.. I'm a mother now! a mother of twin girls. I gave birth to two beautiful girls earlier this morning!"
"Congratulations!!" Raquel exclaimed in delight.
Alec was really surprised this time and it showed on his face "Y-you did?!"
"Yes! you have little pretty nieces now"
A warm smile spread on his face as she showed the two little cute creatures sleeping soundly in their baby bed.
"I'm so happy for you sis, congratulations to you, now I am very convinced you made the right choice for yourself by following your heart, no wonder you are glowing"
"And I'm going to inform mom and dad about this, forward me their pictures and you need to tell me where you are because we might be coming to see you"
"I'm not sure about mom and dad though, but I'm definitely coming" Alec assured her.
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"Thank you, I'd appreciate your presence in this joyful time!" She said sincerely.
"Expect me also!" Raquel wasn't about to get left out.
"Most definitely! My sis in law is my vip guest!"
They all laughed.
