Claiming His Page 14
His business now spans a few countries and he has hundreds of employees working for him. I did a little research on him online and was surprised to find out just how successful he’s become.
The last picture I saw of him showed a brother I didn’t really recognize. He looked the same in the face, but he’d been clearly hitting the gym and was covered in tattoos.
I wonder what my mom is going to say about that.
All day I’ve kept my ears perked, waiting for him to show up. Finally, just before dinner, there are heavy steps on the front porch. My mom and I lock eyes over the table and Julie and Lance both look up, too.
Liv has never met her uncle, and she looks a little nervous.
“Hello?”
It’s Alex. My mom and I both scramble to get out of our chairs as quickly as possible and to be the first one to the door. I beat her and throw it open, squealing as I launch myself into my big brother’s arms.
“You came!” He picks me up easily and swings me around on the porch before putting me back down and stepping back so he can look at me. My eyes widen as I take him in.
This is not the guy I remember from when we were younger. Pictures did not do him justice.
He’s taller than I remember, and broader, and has on a tight t-shirt that shows off all of his muscles. He’s absolutely covered with tattoos, but when he grins, he’s the same old Alex.
“What did you do your body?” I shriek, whacking him with my open hand.
He rubs his arm and smiles. “Got some art along the way. I’ve been busy.”
My mom leans around me and gasps. “Alex.”
He turns to her and holds out his arms for a hug. When she does, he grins at me over her head.
Finally, I can relax. I hear Liv, Julie, and Lance coming out onto the porch behind me.
“Alex, this is Liv, your niece,” I tell him. He lets mom go and drops down to his knees to be on the same level as her.
“Liv, you are just as pretty as in the pictures your mom has sent me.” He reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a box. “I brought you a necklace from Italy,” he tells her.
She squeals and opens the box. “Italy!”
“I’m glad you’re home. Thanks for coming.” Even as I say the words, I still can’t believe that he’s actually here. I’ve been through so much and I have missed him terribly, but having him home now for my wedding makes it all worth it.
“Baby sister, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long, but I’ve had a lot of things going on. Why don’t we go in so you can tell me everything.”
“I want to hear everything, too,” I tell him, and he grins at me.
Right now, standing on my front porch, I have everything. Tomorrow I marry the man of my dreams, but tonight I get to spend with my whole family.
It’s perfect.
