Anabelle's POV
I couldn't help but feel sorry as the day wore on about having to leave. When my final shift was over, I gradually packed everything out of my locker. I said good-bye to everyone. Madi offered me a warm embrace and good luck wishes. As soon as we arrived at the bus station, we boarded the bus and rode to the park. Belle, you are aware that the park serves the best ice cream ever. As soon as we arrived at the park, she asked, "Can we have some? Well, I guess she just loves it here because of the ice cream. "Ana you will have the mint with chocolate chips right," I said, but I already knew the answer because that is her all-time favourite flavour. So I got us both ice cream and spent an hour talking and taking in the beautiful day. I guess I should have taken my Polaroid camera with me when I left this morning. I always have a Polaroid camera on me in case I want to record special occasions like this. I simply adore capturing those moments. Not that I'm going to forget those times, but it's just a method to preserve them, I suppose. Whether that makes sense. In fact, I have a box full of my own photographs. every single priceless memory. That is how I keep my memories safe.
Ana was so exhausted when we arrived home at 5 in the afternoon that she dozed off in the bus. She has an angelic appearance. After tucking her into my bed, I went downstairs to prepare dinner. I was reminded to watch John, the neighbor's child, by a letter that was stuck to the refrigerator door. I went to my laptop and did some studying there. I'll have to get Ana up so she can eat before John gets here. She might become pals with young John. Never do we know.
The doorbell rang abruptly. John is here, cool. Mrs. Ross greeted Anabelle while still clutching John's hand. I said, "Hello Mrs. Ross, how are you doing?" She handed me the bag and said, "I'm fine, Anabelle. I've put his yoghurt in the bag. He still needs to eat dinner. I'll be back at 8." I caressed John's hair as he giggled and replied, "Of course Mrs. Ross. You don't have to worry at all." She gave John a small kiss on the cheek and murmured, "Thank you Anabelle. You better behave little man," John said, "Yes, mommy," and entered the house. Then we said goodbye to his parents and entered the building. I asked him while he was sitting on the couch, "So buddy, what do you want to do?" He said, "Can I draw?" and I nodded. I said, "That's fine buddy, we're going to have dinner as soon as you're finished," and he nodded. That young guy didn't even glance at me since he was so preoccupied with his sketching, but he is so adorable. I sent him off to sketch while I went in search of my younger sister. I whispered in her ear, "Hey princess wake up. We need to eat dinner," and she moved. She gently stood up after that, and we proceeded into the kitchen.
John was greeted by Ana, who appeared delighted to have a playmate. I overheard John say, "I'll call you Bell because Anabella is too long." She said, "No, you can't call me that. My sister is Belle," but I was too busy preparing food to hear what they were saying after that. I chose to prepare a quick and simple dish. I'm preparing spaghetti with my signature sauce. I am aware of Ana's ardent affection for this. I used to make that frequently for her back home, and she never gets tired of it. When I prepare food for my little princess, I feel very pleased.
John's parents arrived a little while later to pick him up. He had previously been fed and bathed by me. He was a very reserved young man who has grown to be Ana's best friend. Since he left, she hasn't stopped talking about him. She looked at me with those puppy eyes and said, "Belle, can I play with him tomorrow?" I couldn't possibly refuse this face. I questioned, "I will ask Mrs. Ross, is that fine Ana?" and she squealed. She is insane. I stood up and answered the door after hearing the doorbell suddenly ring. I asked myself, "Who could it be?" As soon as I opened the door, a large bouquet of gorgeous roses was laying in front of me. Wow, those are gorgeous. For Andrea, they must be from Leonardo. I took it inside by removing it from the threshold. Oh, I should have reminded you. Andrea's boyfriend is Leonardo.
They very recently got together. At Andrea's parents' charity event, they first connected. Yes, Andrea is wealthy, and her parents are owners of large hotel and restaurant businesses. Nevertheless, she is a modest young lady. She is kind by nature and never brags. By now, you must be aware of that. One of the causes I am friends with her is because of this. She truly is great. I vividly recall the assistance she provided when I left my parents' home. She was really helpful. She is my best friend, and I am incredibly lucky to have her. I now possess Leonardo as well. Despite the little time I have known him, I feel like a brother to him. When we first met, he was attempting to win me over in order to please Drea, and it made my heart melt. I want to see them get married one day since I can tell how much work he is putting into their relationship. My little sister's comment, "Wow for whom are those flowers Belle?" shocked me out of my reverie. They are a perfect match, and I can be sure that they will always be there for me. "I believe they belong to Drea. I put the flower vase on the table and asked, "What's a boyfriend? Maybe from her boyfriend."Ana, a boyfriend is a boy whom you feel comfortable to be around and possibly would like to stay with you and help you when you are sad," I said, trying to think of the best explanation I could think of. "Oh so I have a boyfriend too," she said, moving closer so she could smell the wonderful fragrance of the flowers. No Princess John is your buddy only okay, she shouted and grinned, looking so adorable, but I quickly grasped what she had just said. This kid is impossible. "Okay Belle when I will grow up I will ask John to be my boyfriend," she said and returned to her drawings. "It's too early for you to have a boyfriend," I tried to correct what I almost messed up.
Drea eventually returned home with dessert after some time. I really adore this girl. I said, "Oh Drea, Leon sent you a flower," gesturing at the vase. As she grabbed the flower and inhaled its incredible smell, her eyes glowed. She then picked a tiny card and began to read it aloud. She smiled at me and said, "To The Woman of Ocean Gaze. I assumed those were for me but they are actually for you.
That person referred to you as a woman with ocean look, very romantic. Ah, very adorable. judging you by the attractiveness of your eyes. I asked her, "Are you sure Drea, I thought it was for you from Leon," and then I walked to her and accepted the card. In our house, only I have blue eyes, and Drea has hazel eyes. Who is that A.M?
Actually, this was for me. Wow, I smiled to myself, wondering who it might possibly be. As she entered her room, she remarked, "Oulala, you have a hidden admirer. I sighed and started the dishes while attempting to identify the sender of the flowers.
Following dessert, Drea and I made the decision to watch a movie as Ana dozed off on my lap. I thought as I stroked her hair that she truly does look like an angel. I swiftly turned in the direction of the clicking sound after hearing it. Drea was there, holding a photo and my Polaroid in her hands. She muttered, "Wow that came out good," and handed it to me. It was incredibly lovely. I had my hand in Ana's hair and was looking down at her as she appeared to be sound sleeping in the photo. I remarked, "Thanks Drea, it's lovely," as she reclined on the sofa. We kept watching the movie as Drea grinned at me. After a while, Drea and I started to feel drowsy, so we both went to bed because tomorrow would be a hard day for both of us.
My alarm went off, which isn't the best way to wake up in the world. Since Drea will be watching over Ana today, I got up without waking her up because she was still fast sleeping. Oh no! My last day working at the cafe is today. I was suddenly saddened by that thinking. Although I enjoyed my time there, my work schedule and my internship timetable conflict. In addition, I'll have to focus solely on the internship. Thank God, I will continue to make money from the occasional babysitting.
However, if I don't move quickly, I'll be late for my last day of work. It's going to be challenging. I hurriedly dressed and left to take a shower.
I hurried downstairs to see Drea cooking when I got there. She is superior. Making me breakfast is she. She really does save lives. I said, "Good morning Drea," and sat down at the table. She said, "Good morning Belle," with a beaming smile on her face. She approached me and gave me a cheek kiss. Wow, she seems to be in a nice mood today. I questioned her, "Drea, are you sure you don't mind taking care of Ana for the day?" Of course not, she replied. "My brother will be taking care of the job today. That is the benefit of being the boss's baby-sister. I shouted, "Drian is back from vacation," and Drea laughed at me. Adrian is Drea's older brother. Along with the family business, he also owns several other businesses. Yes, as I've already said, they are extremely wealthy. Drea is now employed by Adrian because she does not wish to own her own business just yet. When her brother was away from the country, she filled in as CEO. Let me add that Adrian and Andrea have been best friends ever since they met. He is the domineering older brother. Belle, you lost focus, she remarked, staring at me in shock. I exclaimed, "I'm just really excited to see Drian," with excitement. She is aware of my need for Adrian. I looked at my phone and said, "Anyway, it's time for me to get going if I don't want to be late."
Drea yanked a tiny, adorable box out of her bag and said, "Oh Belle wait, I have something for you." She added, "This is for you. Open it once you are outside, okay," and I nodded. I took my luggage and headed outside. I noticed a stunning Audi R8 parked in front of the driveway as soon as I entered the door. It is whose car, who? It looks fresh. As I moved slowly, I opened the box and discovered a note. I pulled out the mail to discover car keys. Holy sh*t. I opened the letter and began to read.
First of all, Belle, happy birthday. You were going to have forgotten your own birthday, I knew that. Who, after all, ever forgets their own birthday? Anyway, Adrian and I decided to give you this gorgeous beast as a birthday and congrats gift. We are very grateful that you are a part of our lives. On my worst days, you were there for me. You supported me during my darkest hour, and despite how obnoxious I am all the time, you are still here today. I appreciate all the times you've come through for me and made me happy. I'm grateful that you are the sister I never had. BELLE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
From the best and only the best,
Andrea
Also Adrian but mostly Andrea.'
They are the best folks. How was it possible that I forgot my birthday? On my phone, I looked up the date and discovered that it was indeed my birthday. I ran back inside and gave Drea the biggest embrace I could muster. As we departed, I exclaimed, "Thank you so much Drea. You remembered and I didn't even remember my own birthday. Gosh you are the best. I love you." I got a wink from her as she said, "Aw honey you know that I am the best." I no longer have to arrive early at the bus stop in order to catch one now that I have a car. That is very incredible. My morning was wonderful, and the beast gave me a gift. I kissed her on the cheek and said, "You just made my day, Drea.
