Chapter 19 - Wasn't Ready For That

The sudden sound of knocks on the front door, and Aster barking caught Monika's attention. She opened the front door to a strong embraced, almost knocking her down. Once Monika had her balance back she noticed Isabel in the front door, and Felisa hanging from her waist.

"Hey," Isabel said.

"Oh, hi," Monika replied moving out of the way as Isabel walked in.

Isabel looked around, "where's Julia?"

Monika immediately pointed to the couch, Isabel glance over to see Julia sleeping on the couch. "With all of her online school and working she's completely ruined she sleep schedule," Monika explained.

"Well she agreed to hang out with us today," Isabel huffed. Isabel then proceeded to poke and smack Julia's face, to only fail at waking her up.

"Let me," Monika said pulling Felisa off her. Monika walked up behind the couch, sliding both her hands under Julia's waist, Monika then pushed flipping Julia off the couch.

Julia's head flung up from the floor in a confused daze, "what?"

"Isabel and Felisa and here, let's go," Monika said.

"Could've you woken her up a bit nicer?" Isabel asked.

"That is nicer," Felisa replied, knowing first hand what it's like to be woken up by Monika.

"I love it when the park venders come out in the summer," Felisa said as the four girls walked through the park, Felisa then took another bite from her ice cream. "Want some Monika?" Felisa offered, to which Monika accepted, leaning down and taking a bite. Then blushing when Julia and Isabel started making a big deal about how cute they thought it was.

Monika then cleared her throat, "so Felisa how was the weekend at your relatives?"

"Huh?" Felisa asked giving a confused look. "Oh, I didn't go, neither did Luciana, only Isabel went."

Monika turned around to see Isabel and Julia both shaking their heads trying to get Monika to not go any further. However in the mix of distraction not a single girl saw the person walking towards them. It wasn't until Monika slammed into him, falling down, that the girls noticed.

"Oh man I'm so sorry," the man said. The four girls looked at the familiar voice to see it none other than Daniel, holding his hand out to help Monika up.

"It's alright," Monika said as she accepted the help up.

"Hey Daniel!" Felisa greeted.

"Whats up Felisa," Daniel greeted.

"You two know each other?" Monika said surprised.

"Daniel use to babysit me when I was little," Felisa explained.

"Of all people to run into," Isabel mumbled thinking Julia would hear her to only realize that Julia wasn't next to her any more, but behind her. As Isabel felt an arm wrap around her neck, before Isabel could make a sound she was dragged away.

As Daniel and Felisa were conversing Monika turned to notice Isabel and Julia heading into a patch of trees. Monika only shrugged turning back to Daniel and Felisa.

Once they were away Julia let go of Isabel. "Meidra Julia," Isabel wheeze as she tried to get her breath back, "was that necessary?"

"You never told me that Daniel use to babysit Felisa," Julia exclaimed grabbing Isabel's shoulders.

Isabel pushed Julia off her, "you never asked, besides why do you care?"

"Hey guys!" Felisa exclaimed before Julia could respond. "When Daniel left we noticed that you two were gone, but it was alright cause Monika said that you were over here! Why are you over here?"

"They probably needed somewhere to talk as to not disturb our conversation," Monika lied knowing her sister was probably freaking out.

"Yeah!" Julia exclaimed, "Come on let's go."

On the way home Julia asked Felisa about Daniel, while Monika and Isabel walked behind them, rolling their eyes to everything Julia asked.

"He never really talked about you," Felisa said as they walked into Monika and Julia's house. "There was this one time he mention going on a date with you, but he also mention some girl he called hot, I think her name was, Sofia."

As the name was said the three other girls eyes widen, however before a single word could be said Monika picked Felisa up by her waist the throwing her over her shoulder.

"Come on that's enough," Monika said as they walked away, "you're going to help me make lunch."

"Yea," Felisa cheered just fine about how Monika was carrying her, "I love cooking with you!"

Once the two were in the kitchen Isabel turned to see Julia's shocked expression turned to anger. "Um, Julia." Isabel mumbled.

"That whore!" Julia exclaimed, "I'll murder her!"

"Why she didn't do anything," Isabel defended, "besides I thought you were over him."

"I am!" Julia argued, a raised eyebrow from Isabel was the only response Julia got. Julia sighed dropping onto the couch. "Hey, Isabel, how was you mom's?" Julia asked trying to change the subject.

"Same as always," Isabel said as she took a seat next to Julia, "an awkward pain in the butt."

"Did she ask about Felisa and Luciana?" Julia asked.

"Every single time, and every time I give as little information as I can and try to change the subject."

"She really wants to see them huh?"

"Yeah but Abuelita always refuses to let her see them."

"If she didn't want them then why should she see them now," Julia commented.

"Thats what Abuelita says but, with a lot more cursing," Isabel laughed.

"You're over eighteen, you don't have to see her every month," Julia pointed out.

"I only do so Felisa and Luciana won't have to, if I stop visiting she'll try to see the others, saying she has the right to see them," Isabel explained, "once they're both eighteen she'll have no power over them."

"Didnt Luciana turn eighteen not that long ago?" Julia asked.

"Yeah and she already decided that she wants nothing to do with our mother."

"Thats good."

"Julia, I'm afraid for when Felisa turns eighteen," Isabel confessed.

"Why?" Julia asked.

"She'll be able to see our mother. Julia, she has no idea about why she didn't raise us. Abuelita couldn't bring herself to tell her, none of us can, poor girl's to sensitive."

"She'll have to learn soon, you don't want her making that kind of decision obviously," Julia said.

"Yeah, I know," Isabel mumbled.

Before either of them could continue Felisa walked into the living room, "hey, lunch is done, come and eat," Felisa announced.

"Yeah, okay" Isabel said as the two girls got up and walked into the kitchen. Before Isabel walked in she stopped in front of Felisa, quickly pulling her in for a hug.

"What's this all about?" Felisa asked.

"No reason, I just love you," Isabel replied.

"I love you too Izzy," Felisa said returning the hug.
