Dolores Storytimes

Storytime 7

"La la la la.." I was quietly humming to myself while helping Isabela with some flowers and plants in her beautiful garden. "Dolores, you don't have to help me, you know," Isa said, walking towards me. I place the pot I was holding down onto a table, and turn towards her. "Oh, Isa. I'm doing this because i've got nothing to do, and I just wanna help you because i'm a good cousin!" I say, folding my arms. "I am so grateful, Dolores." Isa says, giving me a big smile, then hugging me and walking off into another part of the garden. Isabela's garden is in Colombia, but sort of away from Castia. It's behind Casita, covered by tall trees and bushes of all different colors. I love going to Isa's garden as much as my other quiet places. It's so nice and peaceful, a great place to get away from everything and relax. "Lores, I've got lemonade," Isabela said, quietly, as she walked into the part of the garden I was in. She's holding two glasses of fresh lemonade. "Come on prima, let's take a break and relax. Girls time?" she asked. I smile and nod, while taking the glass of lemonade from her hand and sitting down on a bench. Isa sits on it beside me and we just hang out and talk about stuff (Prob gossiping about Camilo and Mirabel) and just having a nice girls time together as the eldest grandkids. "I know right? Like why is Mirabel so ______" Isabela says, rolling her eyes and taking a sip of her lemonade. "Mhm like Camilo is such a _____" I say, laughing. We both start laughing, almost spilling our cold drinks. "You know Dolores, I wish we'd always hang together like this. It's so much fun being with you!" Isa says. I nod my head in agreement. "Isabela!" Julieta calls. "Mami's calling me, gotta go!" Isa says placing the glass down and starting to walk away. We say our goodbyes (even tho we live together) and part ways until she gets back from whatever Tía Juli needs from her. Isa's right. We should really hang out more, it's fun without our younger siblings. Later, I walk back to my room and chill.
