" So what do you want to do with your life?" " I don't know, leave me alone please" " You're hurting yourself, why don't you go there and explain" " She will not listen to me." " And how can you be sure" I can't say anything else, I don't know maybe I hurt her so much with the thing she thought I'm doing. I'm not guilty because I didn't really do it and besides she's my sister for god sake. I got up, went to shower, and realize that I really have to go there to fix this. " Change your clothes, we're going" " Where?" " New York" Andrea didn't say anything she just went to the shower smiling. I went down and found that there are lots of foods on the table, I smiled and grab everything I like, well! all of it actually. My sister is a good cook because she spends so much time with mom that they do all day is cook and they know my favorites. They made me they're taster, critic if they have done well and comment on those I really love. " Love it?" " Yup, good thing to start a day" " So let's go?" " You don't want to eat?" " No I'm full" " So where will I put all of this" " Where else, of course in your sub zero refrigerator" I put everything in there and went to the car, we drive and drive and had fun in the car. Andrea tried to keep me smiling by telling me stories about different men that walk in and out of her life. She told me that she just broke up with her former boyfriend for 8 months just because she is going home. " Do you love him?" " Yeah, but not that much, maybe he is not for me" " How did you know?" " When I kiss him lately, I don't feel anything for him anymore" " Hmm, so you broke up" " Yes" " How about you, did you and Ira have some arguments?" " Yes sometimes, we argue about her going to law school, she doesn't want to because she said it will be just a waste of time and money" " And why she would think about something like that?" " I don't know" After that, we became silent well that made me realize that she doesn't want to go to law school because it's a waste of time and money. Is there something wrong that I don't know about Ira. Well I have to find it out. We arrive at New York and went to the dormitory where Ira lives. I knock. There is no answer. I knock again, and there is still no answer. " Ira, are you there?" I heard some rumbling inside " Is she there?" " I don't know" Then the door opened, I saw Ira drunk and gave us the look of the day. " What are you doing here? And I see that you bring her also" " Look Ira I think this is not the time to talk about this, you're drunk" " I don't care if I'm drunk or not and ... what are you doing?" I drag her inside and Andrea followed us and then I sat her on the bed, while Andrea is getting a cold compress for her. I wipe it around her face and arms to feel the cold and get some effects of alcohol out of her. " So what are you doing here?" " I just want you to know that I love you so much" she just looks at the window and I saw that she is crying. " And I also want to introduce to you the girl I'm with" I signaled Andrea to come over " Ira this is Andrea Missoni. My sister." Her face returned to face me and her eyes are now full of tears, I don't know if its joy or she is still hurt. Then she hugged me very tightly and said something to me... " I thought I will not see you again, I thought you don't love me anymore and I don't satisfy you and I thought we couldn't be together as long as I live" " Honey what are you talking about, I'm here and I'll never leave you, I love you too much to do that" " You know what happened last night is a complete misunderstanding" Andrea said " You never told me you had a sister" " Well now you know, she just came back from some place and decided to come home after 5 years" " And the thought that you call her Love alarmed me" " I call her that since we are little, my mom call her love so I just imitate her, and now we don't have a mother I even more insist to call her that." " Hi! Sorry if I thought about that, by the way I'm Alejandra Nicole Smith." " Nice to meet you, and I'm Andrea" " So what can I do to you, I'm so sorry I just got drunk" " Why don't you sleep for a while and we'll check out the city, then we'll pick you up to dinner" " Good! So see you then" " Bye Honey, sleep tight." " Gabby I love you so much, thank you" " Thank you for what?" " For being here and making me happy" " Welcome and I love you too, go on rest" " Bye" That night was so wonderful and I admit that I love being there with her, just seeing her happy and knowing that she loves me so much gives a smile to my face. The night ended and we hugged and kissed each other before she went to the dormitory. Andrea and I checked in a hotel room and slept. The next morning we returned to California and went to Hollywood Studios. " I'm so happy it worked out for the two of you" " Thanks, maybe you should start dating again since you'll be here with me much longer" " Yeah, why don't I do that" " So let's check in a bar tonight, let's invite Chris and Toby" " Sure I would love to" I called Chris and invite them to go out tonight and they said yes, in fact he ask apologies on not coming that night and he will make it up for her this night. " Do I look good with this dress?" " Love you'll be able to get more than you expect for tonight I promise" " What about you?" " Oh no, I'm taken and I love her so much, this night is your night and everyone who will approach me will be coming up to you, you're more beautiful than I am and I admit it" " Liar" " I'm just telling the truth" " Come on let's not keep Chris waiting" We arrived at the bar, where we usually hang out and manage to get in easily. Andrea catches the attention of everyone else so I was very happy. Then Chris and Toby came up to us. " Well, well, well the tandem is here. You two look gorgeous it's like all eyes was turned at the two of you" " And they kind of approaching us right now" Andrea joked " Well if that's what you want lets pretend to be, but first I'd like you to meet my love Toby" " Hi! I heard you're a model" " Well I'm just lucky" " I like you" " And I like you too, this is gonna be a long night" " Thank you" " So what are we waiting for shall we?" Andrea took the arms of Toby and they went towards the dance floor. " Since they are having fun, why don't we" " Thanks" I smiled and Chris took me to the dance floor Andrea wears a tube top with a poncho and a flare pants in a nice black and white combination. I wore a ruffled off shoulder hanging top and a leather pants. Our hairs are moving freely on the dance floor and our partners are good dancers and we keep teaching each other the moves. " Why don't we get some drinks" Andrea and I approach the bar still dancing the way while the two are still dancing. " So what are you having beautiful ladies" said the bar tender " Love what do you want?" " Andrea!" " Kyle! What are you doing here?" " Who is he? He's cute!" " He's Kyle my assistant, he's with me wherever I go. Hi Kyle what brings you to this world?" " Nothing I just got bored from taking a good look at this place, so who are you?" Kyle face me smiling " Hi I'm Lea" we shook hands and then he ordered for us. We had a nice time and we excuse ourselves to the ladies room. " Love where did you get him, he's great!" " I know, I've been in love with him since we are together but I guess he doesn't notice me" " Everyone will fall in love with you, if you're not my sister I'll drag you to bed right now!" " Shut up! That is not true, you already made two lies this evening" " Why don't I bet that, that guy after this night will follow you from every corner of this city chasing you and make you fall in love with which you already do, and by the way he is welcome in the house anytime" " You really can't get enough are you Lea?" " Well if that's what can make you happy, so let's go, let's not keep your husband waiting." The two talk and talk that night and when it's already 3 o' clock in the morning we decided to go home but I went home alone unfortunately... ******************************************** It's Saturday morning and I'm very excited because Ira is coming home, so I cooked everything she loves and finally before lunch came I managed to finish everything. Then the door opened and I saw Ira walking towards me smiling and smelling the food I cooked for her. " That smells good" " Welcome home Honey! I just made your favorites" " I can say they are delicious, where's Andrea?" " With Kyle" " And who is he?" " Her Boyfriend" " Really!" " Yes and they are partners in making photographs" " So what did you do when I was gone?" " Nothing just watching the two of them play by the beach. God I've missed you" " Me too!" We kissed and hugged then finally we stop because we are both hungry, she sat beside me, as in beside me no gaps in between. And we are both giving each other food; it's like we are in paradise. After we eat, we go to the beach and chase each other in the water and then we took a bath together and spend time cuddling each other. Ira stands up walk to the terrace and lean beside the door frame facing the sea and inhaling the breeze of cool air the sun already sets and the sky now is dark blue. I approach her and gave a hugged behind her, she leans her head on my shoulder, and she looked very serious. " Do you remember the time I came up to you in your room crying when we just met." " Yes, the night before we flew to France, I thought you don't want to talk about it" " And do you also remember the thing we argued about me not going to law school because it's a waste of time and money. And I also insist that I don't want you to buy me so many clothes." " Yes what about it?" " Maybe I need to tell you the truth, that day that you accepted me in your office I already gave up everything, my clothes, my apartment, I really sold them because I don't have a place and my parents dying gave me a more sorrowful concept of my life. We are really close to bankrupt before my parents died in a car accident, they spend all their profits for me and unfortunately after I got off they crashed." " And why are you telling me all this?" " Because I need to tell you that I'm just spending my remaining time loving you and feeling you in my arms because you are all that I have" " What do you mean?" she can't tell it to me, I'm shaking about the things she's trying to say but then she got herself together and fill her lungs with the cool air and face me. " I'm sick Gabby, I'm dying" Comments. Havenantoine@hotmail, chow!
