She nodded, "Then you should know to get across streets as fast as humanly possible, New York drivers are crazy."
She nodded, "Then you should know to get across streets as fast as humanly possible, New York drivers are crazy."
Matteo let out a shout of laughter. "I know. At least some of them speak Spanish. The three of us don't look Latino exactly, mainly because Dad' not full Latino."
"See, I can't understand spanish, I'm terrible with foreign languages." She shrugged, "I wish I had some different blood in me, I'm very Northern European, and Irish."
Matteo smirked. "Bueno, entonces no tendrás idea de lo que estoy diciendo en este momento."
"Hm?" She tilted her head to the side slightly and looked up at him, "This isn't going to be something you do if you don't want me to know what you're saying, alright?"
"No sabrás mi respuesta de ninguna manera."
"Stop it." She pushed him lightly and glared non threateningly, "The only words I know in spanish are the colors, some numbers, and some very basic sentences."
Matteo picked Alex up and threw her over his shoulder. "You're adorable when you're trying to be threatening."
She squeaked and hung onto his shirt for dear life, "Put me down Matteo," She said, squirming around even though she probably looked stupid. She tugged her crop top down a little since it had rode up and she fixed her shorts as well.
"No, I like you on my shoulder," Matteo said, turning a corner. "Besides, you're really light."
"Oh shut up," she laughed lightly and smacked him on the back of the head as a joke, "I don't like being on your shoulder unless you let me sit normally, or give me a piggy back."
"And what makes you think I'll do that?" Matteo asked, smacking her lightly on the bum as a return. "I like you here."
She squeaked and felt her face heat up, "Matteo!" She let go of his shirt and smacked him on the head again before covering her butt with her hands.
"Oh, you're so adorable," Matteo cried out as he turned the corner onto the path headquarters was on.
"I am not adorable, I could beat you up quicker that you could say 'magic'." She scowled at the ground and grabbed onto his shirt again, not trusting him to hold onto her tight enough that she wouldn't fall.
Matteo smirked. "But you love me to much to do that."
She continued to scowl at the ground, "You're lucky I like you.." She muttered, fiddling with his shirt and tracing designs on his back.
Matteo opened to door to headquarters to find Hailee and Gabe playing Mario Kart im the next room.
Alex glanced over her shoulder and glared at Hailee, squirming as she tried to get down from Matteo's shoulder and slap her.
Matteo picked Alex off his shoulder and let her stand on the floor, pulling her towards him.
"Let me slap her Matteo," She said lowly, tugging against him but leaning into his touch at the same time.
"Not right now," Matteo whispered. "Let her beat Gabe first. Then you can destroy her happiness."
Alex sighed and pressed herself closer to him, "I don't think I can wait that long, they look like they'll be a while."
"Ah, Gabe usually rage quits. He's kinda bad at this."
She laughed quietly, "Alright then, I suppose I can wait a little longer."
