It's been two days since I talked to Sebastian. And the way I left things, I doubt we'll be talking again... for a while.

Theo asked me if I wanted to meet his family and for some stupid reason I said yes.

I told Alice everything and she thinks I should break up with Theo and run off with Sebastian like in some messed up fairy tale. So I think I will continue looking for mental asylums for her.

But either way, here I am, standing outside Theo's parents house.

'Alexis,' I snap back into reality. Theo's ushering me forward from the front step. 'They're not going to murder you. I promise.'

I laugh and smile. He gives a smile back and kisses my cheek, takes my hand and knocks on the front door.

The door swings open revealing a nine year old girl with a great big grin.

'Hey Thia!' Theo says

The girl runs up and wraps her arms around his waist. I smile.

Theo pushes her off him, bends down and holds her still by her shoulders. 'Thia I want you to meet my girlfriend,' He looks up at me before standing up. Thia turns to look at me. Her blue eyes gleam and a small smile spreads on her face. 'Alexis.' He carries on.

Then he turns to me. 'Alexis, this is my sister, Thia.'

Before I can reply, Thia steps forward and gives me the same warm hug she gave her brother.

I hear a woman shout from inside the house. I can't quite make out what she says but Thia looks up, lets go of me and runs inside. Theo follows her and holds the door open for me to come behind him.

'Alexis, we're so happy to have you here. Theo's told us so much about you.'

I look at Theo, then back at his mum. 'I hope it's all been good.' I say with a laugh.

Then his dad pitches in. 'Of course.' He stops and laughs a little. 'It was so good we are almost convinced that the two of you will be walking down the aisle by the end of the year.'

I look at Theo and watch as a deep red blush rises to his cheeks.

'Dad.' Theo says, shaking his head.

'What, it's true,' His dad says laughing. 'Even your sister thinks so.'

Thia giggles across the table and then shrugs. 'I want a sister. You're boring.'

I laugh. 'I'd love to be your sister Thia, I really would.'

She gives me a great big grin.

'Really?' I hear Theo ask beside me.

I turn to look at him. 'Yeah, I would.' I say quietly with a nod.

Lie.

I mean don't get me wrong, Thia is one of the sweetest girls i've ever met. Ever since I stepped into Theo's parents house they have been nothing but friendly and loving to me. Especially Thia, so I would love to be her sister. But I think what Theo was asking me is if I really wanted to marry him.

Before Sebastian, I might have said yes. I would've said yes. But maybe Alice has a point when she says that I shouldn't go for the safe option. Settling will never make me happy.

Plus I don't think my parents would be jumping for joy if I married into a working class family. My dads got his sights set on me marrying some rich dick in the middle of nowhere. First, he just has to persuade me to come home and so far he has failed. So I suppose that's the main reason I would prefer not to be fired from my job.

'Well, Alexis. We'd be more than happy to welcome you to the family.' Theo's mum says with a great big smile on her face.

I smile back. 'Thank you.'

Well. At least I've got a backup plan.
