Lucia's POV
I slowly open my eyes and look at my surroundings. My head is still laying on Ethan's chest. I almost forgot that he is here.
I continue to lay there and just listen to his heart beat through his chest. It calms me.
I feel him move around a little, and he starts stroking my hair. I look up at him, and he smiles at me.
"Good morning" I say while getting off of him.
"Heyyy, come back. I like it when you lay your head on my chest" he pulls me back.
"Ohh, I thought you wouldn't" I mumble into his chest.
We lay there in peace, and he continues to stoke my hair gently. I love it when he strokes my hair.
"Let's go on a dinner date tonight" Ethan says soothingly.
"A date?!" I say worringly.
"Well it doesn't have to be a date. It can just be you and me hanging out together, if that makes you feel better" he breathes lightly.
I sigh in relief.
"Okay, but why are we going out to eat dinner tonight?" I ask.
"You said you'd let me get to know you. The real you, remember?" He reminds me.
"I want to get to know you" he lifts my head up.
We stare at each other for a while. His eyes are memorizing.
Knock knock
I quickly jumps off the bed and push Ethan into my closet. The door swings open and reveals my mother.
"Lucia, get ready. We're all going to spend the day with Hope" my mom looks at me with disgust and closes my door.
I lock the door and let Ethan out of the closest.
"I'll see you later tonight for dinner. Remember, you're enough. You are always good enough" he hugs me and crawls out my bedroom window.

"Why do I have to be here" Rick complains.
We're all currently in the nail salon because this is what Hope wants to do.
"Shut it" my mom snaps at him.
My dad is away for a few days visiting his uncle.
Rick keeps on complaining while us girls are getting our nails done.
"You can get a pedicure with us" I suggest.
"No. Never" he says defensive.
"Fine then. Suit yourself " I sit back in my chair.
---
We're going shopping at the mall, and my mom offers to buy Hope anything and everything she wants.
"Ohh, Auntie Pam, I can't let you do that" Hope declines.
"Trust me, I can pay for everything. Don't you worry" my mom insists.
"Yeah, because she never spends any on me" I mumble under my breath.
Rick hears me and laughs.
"It's okay. Mom doesn't buy me shit too" he comforts me.
"Hurry up you two" my mom yells at our slow pace walking.
We all just follow Hope around because my mom's making us "accompany" her.
---
"Thank you Auntie Pam" Hope thanks my mom.
"Of course sweetie, anything for you" my fake mother replies.
My mom would never do this for me. She'll never plan a day to hang out with me. She'll never do any of this for me. My mother is a fake a.ss b.itch, and I hate her. I hate my mother.
Yes that sounds harsh, but I do. How can you love someone that's never loved you? I don't remember the last time I've felt loved by my parents or anyone.
---
As soon as we get home I run to my room and get ready. I don't go all out, but I make myself look presentable.
Just as I'm about to put on my shoes, there's a knock on my door.
"Tell me why Ethan is here asking for you" Rick barges into my room.
"We're going to eat dinner" I finish putting on my shoes.
I walk downstairs and see Ethan waiting for me.
"Let's get going" I open the front door.
"Wait, is this a date?!" Rick closes the door.
"What?! No" I say immediately.
Rick glares at me and then Ethan.
"Trust me Rick, it's not a date. We're just hanging out" I reassure him.
"Fine" Rick huffs and opens the door for us.
---
"So where are we going" I ask him.
"I would say that it's a surprise, but I know how anxious that'll make you. I'll just tell you. We're going to a little sushi place downtown" he looks over at me and smiles.
How the h.ell does he know I get anxious easily?
---
We walk in the adorable restaurant and get seated.
"So tell me about yourself" Ethan begins.
"Uhh, I don't know. My favorite color is pink" I state.
"Tell me more" he sincerely smiles.
"There's really not much to me" I shrug my shoulders.
"There's so much more to you" he insists.
"My favorite animal is a dolphin, I believe in unicorns, I don't have any friends, I eat a lot, and I love the rain" I finish.
"See, I told you there's more to you. I thought Mya was your friend" Ethan says confused.
"We're acquaintances" I state.
"Tell me about you since I told you about me" I change the subject.
"Well I am a twin, my favorite animal is a cactus, I love the season summer, I love sushi, and I love going to the skatepark" he smiles.
Man, he smiles a lot. Not that I'm complaining, I'm just not use to seeing people smile.
The waiter arrives with our food, and we begin to eat.
"I forgot to ask. Do you like sushi" Ethan giggles in embarrassment.
"I don't mind. I just prefer not to eat anything raw" I look at the plate full of raw fish.
Ethan orders sushi that's not raw for me to eat.
"Thank you" I chuckle.
I eat my sushi as Ethan eats his, and we get to know eachother. We share the basic information you would with someone you want to get to know.
