A Mistake Mate novel Chapter 17

"Thanks for the ride." I yelled to Seth and Lela as I exited the car. They both smile at me before driving away. I walked up to my door before throwing it open and strutting inside. As soon as I entered I heard multiple voices coming from the family room so I quickly made my way there. When I entered the room I saw two strangers standing in the middle of our front room. One was Perrie and the other was a older woman who closely resembled her.

My mom turned around and smiled at me. "Paisley I want you to meet your Aunt Adrianna and your cousin Perrie."

Damn.

*Paisley's POV*

My mouth slightly hung open and a thousand thoughts were running through my head as I stared at the two people standing in front of me. I had always known that I had an aunt and I had also always known that my mom and her never got along. So that left the one big question in my head, what was she doing her?

My mom cleared her throat and looked at me expectantly. I plastered on a fake smile and took a step towards aunt Adrianna. I stuck my hand out for her to shake but she ignored that and pulled me right in for a hug. I was startled at first before I cautiously put my arms around her and hugged her back.

"Oh my! You have grown so much since I last saw you! Look at you, all grown up!" She exclaimed as she pulled away from me. I honestly don't remember ever meeting this woman in my life but I decided to go along with it.

"Ha, ya." I replied with a smile. I looked to see Perrie smiling at me happily and it made me want to scratch somebody.

"It's nice to see you again Perrie." I said with a fake smile. Perrie smiled at me largely before nodding her head.

"I had no idea that you were my cousin!" She exclaimed happily. My mom let out a light laugh and stood next to my dad.

"How did you guys meet?" She asked. I sighed before answering.

"We bumped into each other in the lunch room, that's all." I quickly replied. At the moment I wanted nothing more then to leave the room and try to forget about my newfound cousin. There was an uncomfortable silence that lingered in the air for a few seconds before my dad spoke up for the fist time.

"Paisley, your aunt Adrianna and cousin Perrie have decided to join our pack and they will be staying with us until they find a house to live in." Dad stated with a tight smile on his face. My dad didn't like aunt Adrianna one bit, I have never been able to figure out why but I knew he didn't.

"Hello?" I spoke quietly into the phone.

"Hey!" Came Lela's chirpy voice on the other line. I slightly chuckled at her enthusiasm before speaking.

"What's up?" I questioned. Lela let out a sigh before continuing.

"I just wanted to call and tell you that Seth and I can't give you a ride to school tomorrow because were going to be running late." She said apologetically. I sighed and ran a hand threw my hair.

"It's okay, I'll just have my mom take me." Was my simple reply.

"Okay. Sorry about that again we just have some family stuff to take care of, nothing big." She said. I suddenly heard her moms voice from downstairs yelling at her.
