Still not knowing where we are. Maybe once we get off this plane, I'll know.
Once the ride was over, I slowly walk out the plan and went over to the baggage claim area.
I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Bebe...Bebecita.."
Haven't heard that voice in years.. I turn around.
"Abuela?"
I run up to her and hug her.
Algee soon caught up.
"What are you doing here abuela? I haven't seen you since last year in...."
I check the signs.
"We're in Puerto Rico huh." I tell Algee while smiling big.
"Surprise my love. Hola mama." He says while giving her a hug.
I smile. I haven't seen my grandma in a while, let alone be in Puerto Rico.
This was a dream.
— Algee
We were back at a hotel unpacking some things. Our room was beautiful and had a great view of the ocean.
"Wait so you planned the whole getting my grandma to pick us up situation with my mom?"
"Yeah she always says how much you miss her and that your grandma can make some bomb food. Speaking of that I promised your grandma that we're gonna be at her house for dinner tonight?"
She giggles. "I don't mind, I can't wait to feast on some Arroz con gandules y lechón."
"What is that?" "Yellow rice with roasted pork! I made it for you one day."
"Oh yeah that was hella good. Think she can whip it up better than you?"
"Of course she can, she's my grandma."
We both laugh.
"Also I Kind Of wanna get to know your family out here. I wanna know more of your culture, beautiful " I tell her as I pull her in for a kiss. "Hmph there's a lot, I can tell you that."
"I don't mind. Family is family."
I then let go of her and turn on the tv to see the 'My kind of beautiful' music video is on.
"Dang we international baby! Woo!" I scream as I pull out my phone.
She does the same. "This is amazing! They love you out here."
"No.. they love us."
My lips then felt hers again.
This was going great.
—— Later that night.
Bianca
"How do I look babe?"

"Gorgeous, as always" Algee says after we take pictures. We then were on our way to my grandmas house for dinner.
- *Moments later* All my aunts, uncles and cousins on my moms side were all eating dinner over at grandmas house. Everything felt right. I felt like a little girl again. Being with all my family, eating good food, singing songs. And it was even more special having Algee here with me.
'Mija, ¿Podemos hablar por un minuto?"
I nod my head, and rise up from the table and follow my grandma onto the balcony.
"So your boyfriend... algae?"
I laugh.
"It's Algee"
"Yes yes, he seems like a great guy."
"He is. He's amazing."
"I can tell. Your mom always calls me saying good stuff about you two."
I smile.
"You being a beautiful model like your father wanted you to be and him being a successful singer and an actor? You guys are powerful together."
"We are huh?"
"Yes mija. Now within my intuition I feel like he's the one for you."
Tears start welling up.
"I know about the whole situation about the old boyfriend, mija your mom and I were scared for you. I prayed and prayed bebe for you to find the right one and to be happy and Algee is that person."
I smile while salty tears began to run down my cheeks.
"And you look like you've been hiding something.."
I soon got scared. My grandma was very spiritual but I swear I always thought that she was a psychic because she seemed to find out anything and everything.
"What do you mean?"
"Mija are you pregnant by this man?"
I start crying then I nod my head.
"Yes mama, and I'm scared."
She smiles.
"Why?"
"Because we're both kinda young still, developing our careers and I don't wanna have a baby and mess up everything. And we're not even married! What if he gets scared to ask and..."
She soon pulls me in for a hug. I started crying deeply into her shoulder.
"He is not the type of man Mija and you know that."
"People change grandma"
"Oh no. If anything he's gonna be a great father and will be there for you. I promise. Does he know?"
"No he doesn't."
"Then talk to him about it. Whenever your ready."
"Okay..thank you mama."
"You're welcome mi amor. And enjoy! Your birthday is tomorrow!" She says while doing a little dance.
I smile.
My grandma really knew how to cheer me up.
I then look back through the balcony doors and see Algee dancing with one of my aunts and just celebrating with the family.
I wipe my tears and took a deep breath. I should have the courage to tell him already.
