Thalia couldn't have been happier that all of her kid were headed to Barcelona. "I'm so happy!" The blonde woman exclaimed while carrying a large cake to the backyard. It spelled CONGRATULATIONS in bold blue letters. "All of my boys and girls going to Spain. That's so exciting."
Odessa invited everyone over for a pool party at her house to celebrate their win. The only people that weren't there was Oliver and Demetri. "Thanks, mom, but it doesn't feel right without the boys here." She said, standing by the table with her. "You know Oliver loves to party."
"Oh, baby, I know," Thalia said and twirled the end of her blonde ponytail. "Why don't you try calling him again? He listens to you more than anyone."
Odessa looked at her friends. All of the boys were playing basketball in the pool while Hailey, Tory, and Sam were sitting on the lounge chairs talking. Her dad exited the house with a pitcher of lemonade. "Got room for one more?" He yelled at the boys.
"Come on, Mr. Beaumont! I need someone on my team!" Grayson yelled at the man.
"No, be on mine! Robby sucks at this!" Eli shouted.
Robby objected and splashed him with water.
Christian smiled at the girls. "This was a great idea, Dess. They're having a blasts." He told her and sat the pitcher down by the cake. They watched him run and jump in the pool, making the group of boys cheer.
Thalia smiled. "He's happy," she observed, Turing her eyes to her daughter.
Odessa smiled lightly, watching her dad toss the basketball over Miguel's head into Eli's hands, and he dunked it into the net. "I'm glad he's happy."
"What about you? Are you happy?"
For the first time in a long time, Odessa wasn't hesitant to answer. "Yeah, I'm happy," she answered and smiled at her mom. "Really happy. I'll text Oliver."
Thalia held up a knife. "I'll start cutting cake."
Odessa grinned and took out her phone to text Oliver.
