"You're moving with the Robinson family."

We're in the car, going to my new house.

"Okay," I say madly.

"They're a good family. They always hold children in their family."

"That means that there are other children? I ask.

I knew there would be other children.

The thing is that I didn't know that they would be adopted too.

"Yes, of course."

I look through the window.

This is a new neighborhood.

New buildings.

With a big swimming pool.

"Look, good views right?"

I nod.

I see that she parks here.

"We've arrived."

I jump out the car.

The house is incredibly enormous.

And I think my family is outside waiting for me.

Two men.

Wait.

Two men?

Oh, cool.

Guess they're gays.

That's why they always adopt...

"Hello, you're Eleanor right?" the blond hair men receive me with a hug.

"Yes."

"I'm Richard, and this is my husband Luis."

"We're so happy to have you here, with us." The other declares.

"Thank you." I smile.

"C'mon, let's show you the house."

We enter, and OMG.

It's bigger inside.

They're rich probably.

There are stairs.

"This is the living room, and that's the kitchen." They point them out.

I don't know what to say.

"Do you want to see your bedroom?"

I jiggle.

We go upstairs.

First door, in the left.

I open it.

BIG WINDOWS.

PRINCESS BED.

ENORMOUS WARDROBE.

DESK.

LAMP.

I can't believe it.

"Is this really mine?"

"Of course."

"Do you want to leave here the things first and take a shower? You look tired." Luis says.

"It will be great."

"Okay, we're going to the supermarket, but we'll be here soon."

"Bye."

"Bye honey."

...

The hot water goes from my hair to my feet.

I feel warm.

But only in the outside.

In the inside I only find ice.

I finish and I start to change my today's clothes to my pink pajama.

I tie my wet hair in a single bun.

When I finally open the door, I notice that someones are on the other side.

Richard?

Luis?

Or maybe it is a thief.

My heart pounds wild.

What can I do?

Without thinking it, I take the brush from the sink and I'm prepared to fight with that thief.

I open it.

And guess what.

It's not a thief.

It's worst.

I scream.

He screams too.

"What are you doing here¡?" I shout.

"You're the one who Richard and Luis were going to adopt?"

I shut the door in his face.

I calm myself.

Those blue eyes, that bad boy pose, that accent.

Lucas, the other child of this house?

No.

No, please.

"C'mon Lea, it's not that bad."

I open the door again, but without looking at him I go to my new bedroom.

"It's not bad for you. But for, me, It's, going to be a nightmare."

"Oh, better say it's going to be a dream babe." He follows me.

"Stop calling me that." I advise him as
he grabs my arm.

"Let me go," It tells him.

I turn around, and our faces are only inches away.

"But first I have to tell you something." He says seriously.

"What?¡" I'm so angry...

"I'm going to explode If I don't tell you."

"Then do it, but quickly."

I observe that he's moving nearer.

My heart beats hard.

My cheeks get red.

I swallow.

"I love your pink and full of unicorns pajama". He whispers in my ear.

I'm trying to not punch him.

He laughs.

"Darling, I wasn't going to kiss you."

I can't speak.

"Maybe tomorrow, If I feel like it." He affirms.

I go away from him.

"No thank you."

"Oh, yes, I know you wanted to." "I'm irresistible."

I laugh sarcastically.

I see him walking away.

"Hey, Lea,"

"What."

"Welcome to my kingdom."He lifts up both of his arms.  "I've finally found my princess" He smiles.

The thing is that he said that without any of his ironic ways of talking.
