Racing dream

Chapter 7 - Surprise

The last days in Brazil were amazing. Without problems, we got to enjoy completely our last days there. Lots of hours spent at the pool and the beach, some shopping and some cool tours around the city. It was a really needed holiday for the three of us, before coming back home and their routine.

We got ready to leave the hotel and get to the airport to return home. It was a short flight, thankfully, but there was a crying baby in our flight, so I was really moody when the plane arrived in Buenos Aires. When we got home, David cooked some pasta for dinner. I went to unpack to my room, and my mom sorted the clothes that needed to get washed.

"Dinner's ready, Sarah. Come downstairs."- My dad shouted from the kitchen, so I went downstairs to join them at the table.

"It was really nice to go on this holiday. I really enjoyed Brazil."- I told my parents.

"You're right, Sa. These past days were amazing, but I have to return to my job tomorrow. No more Mojitos for me."

"By the way, we wanted to tell you something, dear."- My mom talked this time, looking at my dad. "Your dad's friend is going to stay with us for a few days. He's coming on Tuesday, so I want you to help me get the spare room ready tomorrow."

"Oh, that's great. There's not a lot to be done in the room, though mom, I can do it myself. How long is he gonna stay?"

"5 days. I couldn't ask for more days off at work, so you're gonna have to show him around. He's a cool guy, don't worry too much about it."

"You'll need to speak english to him though, he doesn't know spanish."- My mom added. Of course, I speak English, but it wasn't perfect. I'd mix both spanish and english, so it gets a bit of a mess. I really hope that this guy can understand me. Otherwise, I'll hide in my room the five days he's staying.

We continued with our dinner, talking about whatever it came to our minds. Also, my dad told me his friend is vegan, so as soon as he dropped him home from the airport we got to go shopping for some food. They told me a bit more about Lewis, so it wasn't that awkard to meet him since I missed the opportunity back in Brazil.

On Monday, while my parents were working, I got the spare room ready. We usually didn't use it, so it was more of a cleaning task and get some stuff to my room or the living room. I spent the afternoon with that, listening to music through all the process, and the room looked better than mine in the end. So I cleaned mine too, before going downstairs to watch a movie and have something to eat.

At dinner, my dad told me he's going to get his friend from the airport and bring him before going back to work. My mom would be back from her work in the afternoon, so I have to go get errands done and prepare some decent lunch for us.

Lewis' POV

I was on a plane to Argentina. It felt surreal to think that I was going to my best friend home after all these years, and most importantly, I was meeting my goddaughter again. All I could think about was Sarah. The last time I saw her, she was a 2 years old baby, and today she's 20. I really hope we can get along, and it's not uncomfortable for us now.

I got off the plane and texted David that I was ready. He'd be waiting for me outside by his car. He sent me a selfie to help identify his car and what he was wearing. Once I saw him, I started walking with my luggage to him.
