The sky was a pale pink orange as dawn gave way to the sun. Arabella was sitting at her old tarnished wooden desk putting the finishing touches on her powerpoint presentation for her A.P. English class. She looked over at her California King size bed with green cotton and silk bedding on top of it and smiled at the little bundle of joy that was there. She was wrapped in a pink blanket, her hair was all over the place and she had on a cute yellow onesie. She was perfect, a reflection of everything right with the world. Arabella was proud that she would be responsible for molding her neice Annabella into a young woman. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she looked forward to the challenge.
Saving her work to the jump drive, she grabbed her clothes and ran into her personal bathroom. It had granite counters, a marble tiled shower/bathtub and a stainless steel sink. Her toilet was a bidet (the toilet that shoots water.) She was indeed a blessed girl. Her mother and father turned teenaged pregnancy into triumph. They weren't the typical story. They graduated from highschool, college and professional school. Her father was an engineer for Boeing and her mother a corporate attorney for Whole Foods.
Bella hopped into the shower and grabbed her loofah and lathered her body in her favorite dreamcicle and strawberry body wash. She hopped out of the shower, dried off and wrapped her towel around her. She then cleaned off the mirror from the fog to see her reflection.
She had long thick dark brown curly hair, she had dark carmel skin, and pretty Hazel green eyes. Her nose was perfect and she was toned. She had shapely long legs, a nice waist and an ample butt. She was stunning, but not arrogant about it. In fact, she hid it, and hid it well. She wore baggy clothes to school, her hair in a messy bun and huge hoodies. She was more athletic than anything and she cared more about her grades then some boy. She was popular though.
Her brother Andrew was the captain of the boys basketball team and co-captain of the football team. They were twins and shared most of the same features except where her eyes were hazel green, his were stone cold gray. He had short cropped curly hair and was one of the, "It men" on campus. They were both seniors in highschool and would be 18 in two weeks.
Their Older sister Annalisa had passed while giving birth to her daughter six months ago. Leaving Andrew, Bella and their parents as her primary caregivers. Her brother-in-law Tyler couldn't bare to be around his daughter who was the spitting image of his deceased wife. So he left, and noone blamed him. He was hurting and needed time to heal in order to become an effective father and leader of the church his father had left him to pastor.
"Bella, come on! If you want me to drive hurry your ass on girl." Andrew said
"Shut up fool, I'm coming."
"You don't look like anything at school, so it shouldn't take that long, besides we have to drop Anna off at daycare."
"I know Drew, I have to brush my teeth!"
Annabella woke up crying to her uncle Drews loud outburst.
"Drew!!!!!!!!!!!!! You woke Anna up!" Annabella 's chubby rosy cheeks were warmly nuzzled by her aunt.
"Sorry, I didn't know she was in the room with you, I thought that she slept in mom and dads room last night." He said guiltly
"Uuhhhhh" she huffed as she hurried out of the bathroom to the her bed where her wailing neice lied.
"Awww did noisy uncle Andrew scare you pumpkin? TT is so sorry my angel. Uncle Drew is so stupid sometimes, he dosen't think." She said cooing the baby.
Once Arabella spoke her neice calmed down.
"Drew, grab her bag from mom and dads room. I bathed her early this morning, we're ready, I'll meet you down stairs."
