Ambre, Mon Coeur

Emma. That was the sweet little girl's name. She gulped down her milk hurriedly. I couldn't contain the little chuckle that bubbled in my chest. She laid her head back on my chest and fell asleep. I followed suit.

Time-lapse: 4 hours

I woke up when I heard the intercom come on and the smooth voice of the flight attendant started speaking. " French: Mesdames et messieurs, bienvenue à l'aéroport de Laguardia. L'heure locale est 16h00. Et la température est de 69 degrés. Merci d'avoir volé avec AIR FRANCE! // English: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Laguardia Airport. The local time is 4:00 Pm. And the temperature is 69 degrees. Thank you for flying with AIR FRANCE!"

It was time for us to leave.

AMBRE

I sat up when I heard the intercom come on. I was still a little melancholy from before but I wasn't going to allow that to get to me. After all, I was going to be rich now. Aimee, Anais, and the twins single file out of the airplane. Bright smiles plastered on their faces. Mr. and Mrs.DeRose followed behind us closely. " Come on guys we had your luggage collected and it's on its way to the car. Come one! You're going to love your new home!" Mrs. DeRose clapped her hand's excitement lighting up her eyes. I began to feel excited as too. All was going to be well.

EZRA

We exited the airplane. Little Emma buried her face in her mom's neck. " French: Monsieur merci beaucoup. Je ne peux vraiment pas croire que vous soyez si gentil avec moi. Que Dieu te bénisse! // English: Sir thank you so so much. I really can't believe that you are so kind to me. God bless you!" Emma's mom grabs my hands and I involuntarily flush. She pulls me into a deep hug and leaves a big kiss on my cheek. I think I blush even more.

"We are in America!" Anais and the twins snapped pictures left and right. their eyes were bright and excited. Aimee hopped excitedly next to me. We were in a whole new world. 4,000+ miles away from France! This was our chance to blossom. Aimee holds my hand and I chuckle at her bubbly energy. I was jet-lagged. Maybe I should have pumped my stomach full of sugar as well.

I'm walking close behind Mr. DeRose when I unconsciously look behind me. My blood bristles when I see him. Hugging. Her.  I looked away quickly. It wasn't anyone's fault but mine anyway. To assume he was single or that he liked me in any way. He has only seen me twice and neither more than 30 seconds max. I get pulled away from my thoughts when I hear Anais and the girls screeching. But they're not bad screeching. Their screeching in excitement. Mrs. DeRose smiled brightly as she pointed to a long sleek limo. My mood lifted immensely.  "Oh My God! A Limo!?" An uncontrollable grin plastered itself on my face. We all filed into the car. This is going to be great!

EZRA

"Ezra!" A huge smile made its way onto my face when I hear my little sister calling me from the doors of the airport. Happiness filled my heart. My mom's blond bob popped into my view. "Ezra baby how are you!?" She pulled me into a tight hug. Daisy, my little sister runs up to me as well. She smiled a gap-toothed smile and hugged me tightly around my waist. I had missed them so much.  "I love you both so much! I missed you!" My mom and sister beamed at me. Affection was written all over their face.

The driver was dressed sharply in a black suit his Ebony skin shone in the afternoon sun. I suddenly became shy, which never happens. I smiled a small smile and tried to meet his eyes. He smiled a pearly white smile and winked at me. A deep dimple showed on his left cheek. I felt my face go hot as I struggled to keep my eyes on his face. He lifted his eyebrow slightly as if he could notice the effect he had on me.  An amused look polished his features. He stared deeply into my eyes as I did his. I wasn't going to look away. Not first. I held a sigh of frustration when I realized he was taking me up on the competition. We are forced to look away when Mrs.DeRose clears her throat. Giving us a knowing look.

"Girls this is Nelson! Nelson this is Anais, Aimee, Alizee, Aliane, and Ambre!" Mrs.DeRose pointed to us as she said each of our names. Nelson looked at each and every one of our faces. He mingled on my face a lot longer than my other siblings. Without thinking I averted my gaze from his eyes and looked away. But I caught a look of mock amusement on his face before I completely looked away. Aimee settled next to me and started talking. I acted as if I were listening but I couldn't bring myself to. I had just found out so much. The bus guy is taken and the limo guy seems to be having some kind of fixation on me.

I stole a look at the rearview mirror in the front and realize my mistake all too late. My pulse quickens. This guy, Nelson was looking at me hungrily. He was looking at me as if I were something to eat. I couldn't help the surge of pleasure that tore through my body. I became flustered. I struggled to look away. I was scared but at the same time, I wanted to feed into the feeling. I wanted to know what he was thinking. He suddenly smirked at me. As if he knew what I was thinking. Then he winked and then turned his gaze back to the road. I pulled my gaze away when I heard Aimee ask me a question. "Will we go to time square? Will we go to Disney world? Will we go to 6 flags?"

I smiled at Aimee. " Of course Aimee. We will go where ever you would like to go!" Aimee jumped in my lap and clapped excitedly. She placed a big fat kiss on my cheek and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back happily.  I looked out the window and watched as the tall buildings passed by. Manhattan. What a beautiful place. It was only the afternoon but buildings had lights emitting from them. Aimee gasped next to me. I smiled at her reaction.

Time-lapse: 50 minutes

Nelson stopped the limo in front of a huge building. It was so tall we would have to step back to see all the way up. This was going to be amazing.
