A gorgeous lady with medium-brown hair walks over to me with a warm smile. “With a name like Trinity, I knew you were going to be stunning.”
Leo stops behind me when she pulls my body into hers. She squeezes the daylights out of me. I say nothing though because I can feel the happiness in her hug.
Pulling away from me, Athena gives me the biggest smile I’ve ever received. Just like Leo, she looks somehow relieved. Strange but in a good way.
“You’re going to love my daughter.” She looks over at Leo. “Go call your sister and brother down, please.”
Another son and a daughter? How many kids has this lady birthed?
Seeing siblings has always made me sad. I’ve never had someone to call my brother or sister. I used to beg my parents for one, but they would say one kid in their lives was enough.
“Seeing that you’re an only child, love, you can come here anytime you’d like,” she states while running a hand through my hair.
I nod at her with a small smile. Her offer means a lot. I don’t think I’ll be able to be around Leo every single day. I know he’s the typical bad boy with a bad attitude, just by looking at him and seeing the way he holds himself. The tattoos that are inked on his fingers prove my point. Just being in his presence for two minutes makes me feel like I’m on fire.
Athena gives off a good vibe. She somehow makes me feel welcome, and I just got here.
I take the glass filled with iced tea she offered me and take a seat at the kitchen table. My mom takes the seat on my left, which leaves the chair to my right available. I pray to God that Leo doesn’t sit there.
Not a second later, Leo walks back into the kitchen, but this time, he’s with a girl and another guy by his side. The girl is breathtaking with blonde hair falling below her shoulders. She’s tall but not as tall as me.
A smile graces her face. Her eyes light up once they land on me. Squealing, she runs over to me, roughly pulling out the chair beside me. She gives me a relieved smile. “Hi. Gosh, you’re pretty. I’m so relieved that you live here. I thought I’d be stuck alone here with those two doofuses for months.”
Her smile brightens the room. She’s exactly like her mom. Just as beautiful, kind, and warm.
“One of you is enough,” Leo grumbles and rolls his eyes at his sister.
She rolls them back and gives my shoulder a light punch.
“You’re lucky you’re an only child,” she mentions, looking around the kitchen and only seeing me and Mom.
I want to argue and tell her she’s wrong, that it gets very lonely, but I keep my mouth shut once again.
She scolds, “I have to suffer every single day. Do you know how long they take in the bathroom? You would think they were secretly girls. Not to mention how I have to fight for dinner. It’s ridiculous!”
I wish I had those problems.Want to trade lives?
“That doesn’t seem that bad. It sounds entertaining.” I shrug while tracing the tip of my finger on the edge of my glass.
Her mouth drops open.
“What?” I ask, confused by her expression.
“We’re triplets,” Leo notes to me.
Damn, that must have hurt Athena.
My eyes widen as I take in the three of them. I stop for a slight second on Leo and Amelia’s brother. He looks like both of them combined. He must sense my gaze on him.
“Elijah.” He introduces himself with a friendly smile.
Smiling back in his direction, I freak out inside.
I’m going to be living beside triplets? I mean, what’s the worst that can happen?
My mind screams at me,Everything.
THREE
