"Ah there they are!" Ayanna said as she waved at Al and his group as they arrived in the mall.
"I thought we agreed not to close down the mall just to shop." Al groaned as he gave his mother a hug.
"Well, we couldn't let a young lady be stuck with you picking out clothes and furniture, you have no taste." Christina mocked, making Al roll his eyes at his cousins.
"This is too much." He grumbled as he stalked over to where Cara was standing.
She was chatting with Emilio, Andres, and Angelica while Christopher walked up and nudged Al.
"So what's the deal between the two of you?" He whispered to his cousin.
Their aunts were all too busy fawning over Eric, they hadn't seen him in over a year since Katerina Chan's last job took her far away.
"We are just friends." Al hissed.
"So she's the target you got too close to? She's cute." Christopher added as he ran up to his siblings, laughing.
