she's quiet, shy and a good girl. he's much older, manipulative, ethereal and fills the void of her absent father. what Happens when he turns out to be her professor?
☆ not romanticising this relationship but actually showing how easily young girls...
My mother eventually came back home after being away for a while. She wanted to visit her parents during the weekend, I haven't seen my grandparents in so long. I loved them so much and I remembered being so excited when we had to visit them for vacations. They leave in this huge mansion all by themselves with thousands of goddamn maids. My mother has always been distant with them. I heard from relatives that they disowned her when she married my dad, but when I was born they had no choice but to accept their marriage. My mother abandoned everything for my father, her family, her country, everything.
I hoped it wasn't going to be awkward. We arrived there at 4p.m. nothing changed from when I was little, a few new plants maybe but that bricked wall stayed the exact same. A wave of nostalgia had hit me and it automatically reminded me of my father. Everytime we'd go there I'd sit on his shoulders and I remember how excited I felt. It's sad how time changes
"Aaaahhh amore mioo!! Look how much you've grown principessa" I immediately recognised that voice. It was my stunning nonna (grandmother) She screamed as she opened her arms to hug me, I was so happy to see her.
She turned to my mom "how are you mija?"
"Sono una brava mamma" (I'm good mom) I haven't seen my mother smile in a while.
"guarda quella ragazza grande" (look at that big girl!") I heard from afar and as I turned my back as I saw my grandfather. I felt like a little kid again and I loved it. They welcomed us inside and again nothing changed. That same ol' warm and familiar sent kicked in, the smell of boiling pasta, expensive wine, cigarettes and my grandfather's old Italian songs that he always blasted
"passare la notte mija" (spend the night) my nonna said to my mom as her maid served us drinks.
"Oh I don't know mamma.."
"Cmon ma, just one night" I insisted as I wanted to spend more time with my grandparents.
"Okay fine but one night only!"
My grandfather went upstairs and it was just my nonna, my mom and I.
"So, amore tell me! We have a lot to catch up. How's the fidanzati?" (Boyfriends)
I laughed "oh nonna trust me, I try to stay as far as I can from them"
"You're right mija, ragazzi sono fottutamente stupidi" (boys are fucking dumb) I didn't realise how much I missed my grandma
"So mamma, how's the business going?" My mom asked
"va tutto bene grazie a dio" (everything's going well thank god) a new neighbour just moved in, ed è così sexy (and he's so sexy) She said as she lit up her cigarette
"Mamma!"
"Cmon ma, you can maybe get a new boyfriend" I laughed
"If only he can handle your mamma's temper" nonna winked. "Oh there he is guarda!"
My mother and I both turned our heads in sync and I couldn't believe my eyes.
