Zoey parked her car on the Butterfield Park parking and got out of her car. She walked around her car and opened Alexia’s door.
“Why don’t you go play on the field while I talk to aunty Daphne?” Zoey suggested.
“No, I want to come” Alexia pouted. “I want to ask her myself”
“Okay” Zoey said, raising her hands. “As you wish”
She took Alexia’s hand and walked to the restroom. She knocked. “Daphne, you here?”
“Go away” Daphne said.
Zoey opened the door and walked in.
“I know you got an invitation, but I would think you’d understand I don’t want you here today” Daphne sinabi a little upset.
Zoey rolled her eyes and covered Alexia’s ears. “Bitch, please, I’m not here for you” she mumbled. “Alexia wanted to come”
“Why? Sure you told her how awful and crazy aunty Daphne is” Daphne said.
“She needs to ask you something” Zoey said.
Daphne turned to Alexia and conjured a smile. “What is it, sweetie?”
“I want to be bulaklak girl” Alexia said. “Please?” she added.
The smile on Daphne’s face vanished. “Oh, I wish that were possible, but I’m afraid it’s not. I already have two girls. I’m sorry, sweetie”
“Okay, aunty Daphne” Alexia sinabi sad.
“Alex, honey, why don’t you go play on the field outside while aunty Daphne and I talk?” Zoey said, looking sharp at Daphne.
“Okay, mommy” Alexia obeyed and she left the room. Once outside she almost collided to Meg.
“That wasn’t very nice of your aunty Daphne, now was it?” she said. “Would you like to do something for me?”
“What?” Alexia asked suspicious.
Meg searched her pockets and conjured a cassette tape. “I need you to play this during the vows. I’ll ipakita you the music installation”
“Why can’t you do it?” Alexia asked.
“Because I need to help Emmanuel” Meg sinabi obvious.
“You’re his friend?” Alexia asked. “Does he know about this?”
“No, it’s a surprise for him” Meg whispered. “So, you’d be a really good girl if you could help me with it”
“Hmm, well, if it’s for uncle Emmanuel I’ll do it” Alexia agreed.
“Good girl” Meg smiled.
