Unexpected

Chapter 12.

The door opens and I'm completely surprised. I wasn't expecting this at all.

"Good evening Emily!" Ellen says as she opens the door.

"Good Evening!" I politely say. I'm so shocked. What is Albert's mother doing here? Sophia said that she would move only on the next week!

"It's so good to see you again, Emily! I heard that you are being an amazing student,"

"Thank you so much," I'm blushing. I know I am.

"Come in, dear,"

"Thank you." I say with a smile.

"Emily!" Sophia says and hugs me.

"Hi, Soph!" I say.

"I'm sorry. I tried to call you but you didn't answer the phone.." She whispers.

I instantly try to find my phone on my purse but it isn't there. I left my phone at home.

Shit.

"That's ok." I answer to Sophia. It's definitely not okay!

"Emily this is my dad!"

"Good evening Mr. Fernandez! How do you do?" I politely ask.

"Hello Emily! I'm fine and you?" He says. Sophia is a lot alike him.

"I'm fine thank you."

"Hello everyone.." Albert says opening the door and my hearts is hammering inside my chest.

"Emily," He says with a surprised expression closing the door while looking at me.

"Hi Albert, how-how are you?" I stutter nervously. Calm down, just breathe.

"I'm fine and you?" He says with a smile.

"Fine." I'm clearly not fine. Breathe!

"I didn't expect to see you here,"

Believe me. Neither do I.

"The dinner is ready!" His mum call us from the kitchen.

We seat on the table. I seat next to Sophia and Sophia's father and Albert is in front of me next to his mother. He's in front of me.

"So Emily do you know what you want to do when you're older?" Ellen asks.

"Yes! I always wanted to be a lawyer," I say with an excited tone.

"Oh that's wonderful dear!" Ellen congratulates me.

"Thank you," I answer with a smile.

"Albert never had a specific ideia of what he wanted to be in the future.."

"I think he's just not a big fan of planning I suppose.." Albert is looking at me.

"Yes dear, I think that's the problem!" Ellen laughs.

"Well Sophia doesn't like to plan either.." Sophia's dad says.

"I like to plan. I just never thought about what I want to do for the rest of my life. It's to much pressure," Albert says with an annoyed tone.

"It's too much pressure but you have to decide. You have fifteen years old, son."

"And if I don't want to decide?" Albert says with a harshly tone.

"I think that you'll have to, sooner or later."

I look at Sophia and she looks at me. We are in the a blocking silence.

"I'm done with this conversation." Albert says and leaves the table.

"I'm sorry, Emily." He says looking at me and then he turns around to leave the dinning room.
