Love has no expiration date

Chapter 5: "Weekend with friends 2/3"

Secrets:

   We are all sitting at a table. Emma at one end, Arantxa at another, Sofi and me at one side and Abi with Nana in front of us.

"Well, what is all this?" I ask, since we have been sitting for 20 minutes and nobody dared to speak, which is tiring me.

   My sister looks at me for long seconds and apparently decides to speak, since as she knows me although not so much she knows that I do not have much patience.

"Do you remember that mom was called Irina Collins?" Arantxa asks me; And of course I'm going to remember my mom's name so I nod my head quickly so keep talking. "Well, Emma is mom's sister. Their relationship was not very good, but the two were informed of each other's children".

>> "So when I came to live here, Aunt Emma contacted me right away and well, here we are. I come to visit her quite often - now I understand why her name became known to me".

   So mom and Emma were sisters, if she's my aunt then ...

"Are we cousins?" asked Sofi, Abi and I at the same time.

   Arantxa and the new "aunt" Emma agree. The three of us started screaming like crazy. It was not the reaction they expected the truth, no one, not even I expected to react like that in a situation like this.

You have cousins.

   I have cousins.

Wait wait...

   We have cousins.

"Let's go to my room," says Abi excitedly.

   When we start to climb the stairs you hear my sister say "if I knew they would take it that way, we would have told them earlier." Of course they should have told us before, we are family, but that's it.

You took it too calm, too calm.

   Because it reassures me and makes me happy to think that I have more family than my grandparents, and that without knowing that they were family I already liked them.

   Abi's room is purple, lilac, and white. Her bed is two-seater in a shade of gray and has a very nice window. A white wardrobe in the corner of the room and next to the bed a white and purple nightstand.

   Now we are in Sofi's room, which is old pink, her bed is also a two-seater with fuchsia, pink and white covers. It has a white wardrobe at the end of the room and next to the bed there is also a fuchsia and white nightstand. It has a large window with a door and exit to the balcony, also a very comfortable armchair in which I am sitting now, Sofi and

  Abi is in Sofi's bed.

"Girls, what do we do now?" I ask.

"I don't know, what do you want to do Izzy?" Sofi asks.

"I'm hungry".

"But we already had dinner".

"But I'm still hungry".

"Come on Bella, get up Sofi. Let's go for the NUTELLA".

   The three of us looked at each other and ran at the same time, bumping everyone and everything. We heard someone say "be more careful" but we didn't pay enough attention to know who he was.

   When we get to the kitchen we see that there is the Nutella with lactal bread next to it.

Oh my god Nana I love you.

   Roberta, I agree with you.

   After eating 10 slices of bread with Nutella, we went up to Sofi's room since we will sleep there. A sleepover, I haven't had one in a long time, I miss my friend Emma.

And talk to her.

   Yes, I'll do that, I'll talk to her later.

"Girls, do we see any movies? Tomorrow is Sunday so let's go for a walk or to the beach" says Sofi.

"Yeah, so Bella knows everything".

   So we put "The Perks of Being Invisible", even though we fell asleep within minutes of it started.

   Tomorrow we are going to visit the city, will I meet someone?

Maybe yes, probably not.

   As always, a pleasure to have you Roberta.
