[indent][indent]There was hardly anything that was going to turn this dinner around after that unfortunate, unfiltered, rant that Ava had dropped Miranda’s way. The Mossos’ all -- most of The Mossos’-- shared the same grievances about how she represented them. Even after Elizabetha had since moved the conversation, as well as the dinner to a speeding end and subtlely, though obviously forcefully, moved the gathered families and guests to the drawing room for dessert. She was smart to do that because everyone saw the way Ava was looking at Miranda and let’s just say that it’s not North Korea that the US would have to worry about being the cause of World War Three.

As the families were moving from the dining room and to where Audrey’s mother had led them, Audrey would sneak Alexandros away from the fray just long enough to apologize to him for her grandmother’s attitude. Well, it was more than just her grandmother. She apologized to Alex about her entire family. Alexandros did what most guys in his position would do: let the female finish before opening his big mouth. He could tell that Audrey was really fearful about what her grandmother would do. Truth be told, the thought of a physical altercation crossed his mind as well. He knew Ava was scrappy, but Miranda didn’t appear to have the patience to indulge the childish antics of someone who simply was “scrappy”. No, that seemed like child’s play. Miranda Priestly wasn’t a child. 

[color=dodgerblue]“God help us all if there’s a round two,”[/color] Alexandros mused, collecting himself. 

He rubbed the area between his temples as if trying to both think about what he, as big brother, needed to do and to balance out the stress he was getting from just this day. If this was what he had to look forward to as boyfriend of Audrey Mossos, he might need to pop a few of the Xanax pills his father has shipped in every month. 

[color=dodgerblue]“You know what the problem is? Ava hasn’t gotten laid in six months.”[/color] Alexandros casually revealed. [color=dodgerblue]“I think the last person she told me that she did it with was some chump.”[/color] He probably didn’t realize what he was saying, but he looked at Audrey with a serious look. [color=dodgerblue]“You know that little shit, Jackson Drake, right? He’s the one always trying to start fights. I don’t get it, but he and Ava are apparently tight as any two people could be. Anyway, she said something happened to where an ex of his picked a fight with Ava and they [i]broke up[/i]”[/color] Alex did the air quote hand gesture. [color=dodgerblue]“If you ask me, he’s one mistake away from landing in juvi. He’ll end up there before I do.”[/color]

He knew he was rambling on, but anything to get his mind off of what had just transpired. Alexandros knew that they would have to get back at some point, but part of him didn’t want to. Was it proper for them to linger around? Probably not, but this has gone from bad to decent to we’re fucked, so no one couldn’t blame him if he just wanted to distance himself from it for a while. Plus, it wasn’t so bad hanging with Audrey. He might even go as far to say it felt nice. Talk about a shocker, but stranger things have happened.

[color=dodgerblue]“So, was it just me or did my brother and your cousin seem like they were high as Snoop Dogg?”[/color] Alexandros asked out of the blue, breaking whatever silence had formed.[/indent][/indent][/color]
