"Woah it's so sunny outside today after it was snowing hard," I say out loud as I walk to the window. "Hey you, stop right there," I notice Rosaline try to tiptoe past me. She stops and stares at me innocently.
"I didn't do anything wrong! I only twinned you with Alejandro is all"
"Ok, I wouldn't say anything if you just matched us up with something unnoticeable but you twinned us with the color desert pink and a Tommy Hilfiger denim jacket" She giggles "No wonder you said you wanted to pick Alejandros and my outfit"
"Now come with me" Rosa drags me to the bathroom.
"What are you doing?" She sits me on a chair and adds light red lipstick to my lips. She uses eyeliner to eyeline the bottom of my eyes. Once she finishes she turns the chair around to face the mirror.
"I know you hate makeup but just once in a while. These are new products for my makeup company and I wanted to try them on. You inspired me for this color since it's your favorite color"
"I guess I will let it pass this time" We leave the bathroom and join the others in the dining room.
"You look beautiful, Nuna," Alejandro says after Akio stands up from his chair. He called me older sister. But to him, could it mean more than frie-
"She twinned you two?" Ross laughs. "That's why you asked me what cute outfit would fit on a couple"
"Yeah I did" Rosa shrugs her shoulders as she sits down. Rosaline mouths something to Alejandro but he just covers his face with his hands. I have my coffee and start eating too.
"What are the plans for today? Because let me give you my thoughts, go to the statue of liberty so we can take pictures" Alejandro smiles leaning back like he solved a problem.
"We can go to that shopping mall first?" I say
"Hmm..." Azul starts "We can go to the statue of liberty first and maybe walk around there and got to the little museum there. We have to take a ferry so that would be cool. After that, we can do what Jane said and go to that Brookfield Place and then..." Azul doesn't seem to have an idea.
"What if we just go back home?" Hunter suggests taking off his jacket. "It is getting a little hot for me," He laughs but Azul frowns.
"Does that mean that...we are not going to see each other for a while?" Azul has a sob in her throat while she speaks.
"No I live in Virginia, I am not sure if you still live there..." He puts his arm around Azul.
"The same house in Springfield with my parents, but they built me my own house on the farm"
"Same here, they built me a house but all of our houses are separated well so we have our place and grow independently" Akio interrupts.
"I live in Washington D.C. which is where I got my job...maybe when you all go back I can go with you and you can take me to your parents..." Hunter leans in "...I heard from Gwen that your mom loves me" He chuckles and my eyes open wide knowing I have been exposed. Azul looks at me.
"Hey I didn't do anything wrong, I was telling the truth" I have no guilt. Azul turns back to Hunter.
"Yeah, I would love that" Azul blushes.
"Alright people. No more lovey-dovey" TJ says stuffing his face "I'm trying to eat in peace not throw up"
"Ann Marie you did well in making some of the food" I compliment her eating the food.
"Thank you, I learned from the best" She bumps Alejandro's shoulder. He smiles at her making me feel a weird feeling...anger.
"We should get going soon. It is already 10:20 a.m" Rosa says as she looks at the big roman numeral black clock behind me.
