Aidan just got home from a gig and walked into the kitchen, seeing Alfie stuffing his face. “Nat cook again?” He joked, opening up the fridge to grab some leftovers. “Yeah, Nat cooked.. I can tell.” The leftovers looked authentic to the leftovers his Grandma gave him. “A British guy eating Puerto Rican food. Really embracing the culture, aren’t you? One bite at a time.” They were colliding cultures in Australia. Aidan popped the leftovers in the microwave, letting it cook for a minute. In the meantime, he pulled out his tips from the night. “Here..” He set down a wad of cash in front of Alfie. “Go and get Nat something nice, eh? Least I can do.”

“Ha, yeah she did!” Nat was definitely a superior cook in Alfie’s mind - much better then himself. “I don’t know what it is she puts in this stuff, but it’s bloody good.” Alfie replied, swallowing the last bite of the leftovers Natalia had made the night before. The gesture of money from his brother in law was a surprise. “Oh come on mate, it’s no biggy, you don’t have to...” It was there, he got an idea. “How ‘bout we both go look for something for her? Give her a surprise to cheer her up? I’d like to think we probably know her better then a lot of people.. Shouldn’t be too hard, eh? Whatd’yah say?”

“Hey Alfie.” Alexia saw him in the opposite room. This whole deal with him and Natalia had deterred any chance of bringing a child into the world. There were complications; it led him and Natalia into depression. Maybe Alfie playing and interacting with Raphael would cheer him up. Raphael took his book over to Alfie, tapping his leg. “You want Alfie to read to you?” Lexi smiled, seeing how her son was interacting with everyone. “I think he’d like that, Raphael.” Her son attempted to climb on the sofa, almost falling off. Lexi got up from the sofa in the opposite room, walking over and took Raphael in her arms then sat down next to Alfie. “Okay, go my son. Crawl.” She let him go, laughing softly.

“Alexia! Good to see you!” Alfie had made a stop in from London to Australia to come visit Natalia. Nat had wanted to see him, and he had very much wanted to see her. It was worth it. Besides, the family reunions he was having back in London were enough for a while - not that he didn’t like it, he just missed Natalia. “He’s adorable, Alexia...” Alfie spoke with a grand smile. He knew things were going to be a struggle for himself and Natalia to start their own family, but his faith was strong that it’d happen for them - even if it was to be a different way then the conventional. “My Spanish is pretty rubbish, I will say. Don’t know if it’d be the best idea, but hey - anything is worth the shot! Mm, what do you think Raphael?”

“Yeah, I got really involved in Art.. it translated into makeup and hair.” Aidan pursed his lips, “I did play Hockey in the NHL for awhile. I had done it for a year. Some are doubting whether I am coming back or not. I might consider it.” The tone shifted to a reflective moment. “I know the UK isn’t known for that kind of sport. Mostly for Soccer or Football.. Cricket..” He tried to keep it simple conversation. “You must’ve played Soccer, Alfie. That’s the only sport I can see.”

[britishism-blog]

“Hey, it’s kinda like painting when you think about it. Instead of a canvas, a face becomes, well, your canvas.” It was a fair analogy. “You gotta do whats best for you man, whatever works for you, whatever makes you happy.” He nodded in confirmation of Aidan’s guess. “Yeah, I did. Up till when I was 16. Almost got trialled for a club in the Premier League but I got a back injury. Was told I couldn’t play anymore a couple months before my 17th birthday. It wasn’t too bad though, my parents decided to organise a vacation away for my family and I ended up meeting your sister out of it. Guess there’s a silver lining in every choice we make, right eh?”

[rxcklessmartinez-deactivated201]

“No, she’s not..” Now, the twins were grown up and everyone in between. “I made her look more beautiful than me. It’s what I do. You looked really handsome. She had her true Prince charming.” Aidan was relaxed when talking to Alfie. He had to grow up a little faster since he left home when he was 19. During that time, he didn’t have contact at all with his little sister or Alfie. “Makeup is so versatile. You can really do a lot if you have the skill to do it. It took me a couple years to master it. I have always been into Art so.. it was a little easier for me to retain knowledge.” 

[britishism-blog]

“You definitely did a job on her. She looked like a right Cinderella...” Aidan’s kind comments were taken in with an appreciative nod.  That was what he hoped, that he could be her Prince Charming. “That so? That’s pretty sick. I never really got into Art at school. Wasn’t really that good at it. Kinda wished I had’ve been better at it. Sport was more my thing... Natalia told me you used play sport and all, right? Hockey or something? Sorry, it’s not very much a thing in the UK...”

“Guess your sister ain’t around, is she mate?” She was probably off busy with work, that made sense to Alfie. She was the most dedicated person he had met. “You made Natalia look amazing at the wedding, even more beautiful then she does already, I don’t know how people do all that stuff with make up, it’s insane.” He figured he could use the time to catch up with his now, brother in law.

“I bet it is.. We do know what you both feel for one another. It’s a matter of now turning that into a long, beautiful marriage.” Aleks poetically put to Alfie’s comment. “We have to understand fame is a label. It doesn’t define us as a family. Me and her Dad told the kids we don’t care about being famous. It’s something that we think is unrelated to how they grow up.” There was nothing more rewarding to hear from her future son-in law that he got what Natalia’s life was like. 

[britishism-blog]

“Well I can only hope we’ll be so lucky to have a long, beautiful marriage. I definitely wouldn’t of seen myself wanting to get married at 21, but it was just something when we first met. It clicked. Strange in all the good ways of course.” Alfie was never much a real believer in the lovey-dovey stuff - and then he met Natalia. That changed a lot about him. “I definitely think that’s stuck with her. The whole, fame isn’t the be all and end all to her life. She knows she comes from a famous family, but to her, her family is just that, her family. Another else is simply work..”

britishism:

“It does and also the two of you have to be able to see those ups and downs.” Being married before, Vi had a lot of practice in that area. Unfortunately, the years of being married are a blur. “I can say you are doing a great job with her Mum. I am so focused on other things that I am in and out of the loop. Are we still planning the wedding? Or is it ready to go for the big day” She didn’t know the exact date of the extravaganza. “I have to get my dress.. Dirk has to get his suit.. That’s all we have to do.”

[britishism-blog]

“Definitely have seen a lot, of ups and downs. But we’re still here. Still going strong.” It was a key aspect to being in a relationship, through the ups and the downs, if you really loved each other - you’d fight for them to stay with them. “Yeah, it’s all really ahead to go. Natalia’s just wondering about Aidan. It’s been a while since she’s heard from him so she’s a little worried about things. She refuses to let anything happen until she knows what’s going on with Aidan. I told her he’ll be there, but y’know - she sticks to what she wants. Hard to change that girl’s mind. As soon as she knows, it’ll be on board moving.”

alfie the first time he met aidan alone ;) xDDD

britishism:  

“You’ve convinced me..” Aleks stopped him before he went on a long, Shakespeare rant. “Both of the twins are driven people. It will be much harder for her father to let her go but we wish nothing but the best for your life as a married couple.” She liked Alfie but never said it aloud, well, not that much. It was hard for anyone to get acknowledged that she liked them. “She chooses to keep her life private. She doesn’t want to be in the spotlight. I think that’s what makes her a catch.”

[britishism-blog]

“Well... that surely is settling. I’m just glad you two both know how much I really do care for her and love her.” He always had a hunch inside he never let on that he knew Aleks was accepting of him, he just didn’t know how to say it - nor really was sure to. “It’s definitely nice to have that privacy and all. I know she gets stopped here and there for photos and all, occasionally we get photographed together, but nothing that isn’t a bit of trouble.”

[laetusdraco-deactivated20150710]

britishism:

“… Good idea. Sorry, I got stuck on it and my mind went all the way.” Vi listened closely to what Alfie was saying. “You are certainly doing well by her.. I am hoping you keep going.. moving forward.” She was showing her shy nature. Her body language told that tale for sure. “The only person you have to convince is Natalia’s mom. I mean, Nikolas is protective but he warms up right away. He trusts you and sees how much you love his daughter. Her mom has a bit harder time trusting. Do well with Natalia and her mom will come around.” 

[britishism-blog]

“That’s the plan. I know we’ll have our ups and downs, but isn’t that what constitutes a relationship? Makes it what it is? Makes you wanna move foreword.” Alfie was, wise beyond his years - to say the least. “I think I’m doing pretty well with Aleks, well I’d like to think so. She seems like she gets what I feel for your sister, for her daughter. I mean, I’d like to think that she does at least considering she’s letting me marry her daughter.”

[laetusdraco-deactivated20150710]

britishism:

“I don’t know why you couldn’t just say.. how maternal you are feeling..” She was sort of confused about why Alfie had to say clucky. “Is that something in relation to chickens? A mother hen deal.” Vi was showing her playful side; it was adorable. “I can see you have good moral and value in your life. That’s great to have now, especially when kids come around. I haven’t been to a wedding since my own a few years ago.” 

[britishism-blog]

“Yeah it’s just... How about we forget the whole clucky business confusion hey? Everything is cleared up now.” It was quite the becoming confusing topic between the two. “I’m glad someone can see it. Makes me feel a bit, self assured especially when it’s coming from your fiancé’s family. I just want to do well by her, that’s all I want. I can’t ever even think of doing her wrong... Well, on that - I hope this one sets a good, standard of sorts for you, leaves a good impression!”

[axstralianmetale-archive-deacti]

“Fine, fine. I will eat them later, Alfie. You are turning into quite the gentleman and the man we want to marry Natalia. It’s great to hear you are going to be there for her.” Aleks was a little harder to impress than Nik. Especially, when it came to their kids’ future. “I was in your shoes .. her Dad and I were going to get married young but our careers and lives at the time didn’t permit it. But then when we actually got married, it was well worth it. I think we instilled those values in our kids.. never give up on what your dream is and who you want to spend the rest of your life with.”  

[britishism-blog]

“Like I’ve said, and I’ll say it till my dying day, I’d go to the ends of the earth for her. She’s, she’s my perfect match.” The devotion Alfie and Natalia had to each other was truly something special, a rare thing to see in a couple so young. “I definitely see that in Natalia. She’s so driven, so enthralled by everything she can do in her life. It’s just one of the things about her that I fell in love with. I hope the same will come for us when we’re parents. All I want is to just spend my life with her.”

[laetusdraco-deactivated20150710]

britishism:

“What.. clucky? Is that a British term for.. sexy or aroused?” Alfie had his share of terms. “You know what you want in life.. what you want from this marriage.. That is beautiful.” Vi thought she knew what her husband wanted from their marriage. “My first husband didn’t value marriage as you do. I have to laugh thinking back. He lied a lot..” The compliment caught her off guard. “Oh thank you! I missed my little brother’s wedding and I have to redeem myself. That cheered me up.”

[britishism-blog]

“Ahhh, not exactly.” That made Alfie laugh a bit. “It’s just like, how maternal someone is feeling and how ready they are to be parents and all.” It made him a little embarrassed but he didn’t show it. “Well, I came from a good family with good values. I guess it just, passed onto me. All about that good connected family life, that’s why I’m glad for her that you were able to make it down here.”

[laetusdraco-deactivated20150710]

“A lot is riding on these two years. I hope you keep your word.” Vi knew he would; it didn’t hurt for teasing. She was happy as ever. “I am going to hit that stage in a few months. Hockey season is going to start and my beau will be gone. My schedule picks up then as well.. surprise, surprise. I actually had to request time off to come down here for the wedding. It was killer!” Her contract only stretched so far then the rest of it she had to fight tooth and nail for. “You will spend the rest of your life a happy man. Natalia’s a special girl and a soon to be special wife.” 

[britishism-blog]

“A bit will be on Nat and how ‘clucky’ she’s feeling. I mean, whenever she’s ready I’ll be ready that’s for sure.” He definitely saw himself with kids with Natalia, and even though they were quite mature for their age, they both knew they wanted a few years to settle into a married life together. “I’m pretty sure that I can speak on behalf of Natalia saying that it probably means the world to her that you’re here. I know how much she loves her family, so having you here for the big day - I don’t even have to think twice about how much it means to her.”

[axstralianmetale-archive-deacti]

“No, I insist.. you should be able to eat them. You will leave like three in the bag.. why waste them..” Aleks was content with the outcome. Alfie would enjoy her snack; she would indulge in one of his favorites. “Does this mean I can eat your favorite snack?” It was only fair. How he described his relationship with Natalia made Aleks smile. “You are a great addition to her life. You deserve her. I never knew how much you two meant to each other till you asked her to marry you.. I saw it then.” 

[britishism-blog]

“Ah yeah! That’s cool! I’m willing to make the sacrifice. Go have at it, Mrs Martinez! It’s only fair.” Alfie had a bit of a laugh to his words as he emptied out the last of the packet. Even despite he had known Aleks for a while, he still couldn’t help but call her otherwise from her name. “She means, everything to me. I know I’ve met my match in her. I promise I’ll do whatever I can to make her happy.” Natalia and Alfie really would go to the ends of the earth for each other - they had the tightest knit of connections that couldn’t be put aside. “The thought of being without her, that’s one I don’t ever want to imagine.”

[laetusdraco-deactivated20150710]

“You and Natalia telling me you are trying to have a baby.. That’s what will be next.” Vi joked, sitting back to give the vibe to Alfie she was calm and collected. “You know, that movie is timeless. I am having to it bring back sometime.” The story of her little sister’s romance came out of a fairytale. A higher power brought them together. “So you met all because of a dog? How heartwarming. Your kids will hope for that later on.” She was very happy for them. Her humour was light-hearted. Could this have been a sign Vi was being rebuilt? It was! “You and her have been through a lot.. your love holds no boundaries..” 

[britishism-blog]

“Mm, true, true. Give it a couple of years.” He knew he’d settle down and have a family with Natalia one day, but he was willing to wait till the two of them felt 101% ready for it. There was no denying it’d definitely happen. “You sound like Natalia, she always says that.” He had surely seen that enough with her. “It hasn’t been easy, the long distance thing when it started, but what relationship doesn’t have the tough moments? If you can get passed that, then you know it’s a relationship worth keeping in. She just, she makes me happy. There’s plenty a reasons why I want to spend my life with her.”
