Grownup Life of Mariana & Callie

Chapter One

Seriously?! All I can say about Brandon's rash decision to get married to Eliza in Turks & Caicos.

Mariana quizzes why made I say that?!

"Are you still have some feelings for him?" Mariana asked. We're alone in the hotel room while Jude with Moms in the other room, Jesus is staying with Emma in other and other room for Brandon & Eliza. The rest of other family members are staying at other resort nearby.

"What?! Why are you thinking that?! Brandon is my brother, we went through a lot together. Nothing could make me having some feelings for him. No way!" I explained.

Mariana sighs as she sat down on her bed next to me on my bed like the old times. "I believe you. Okay. I'm just wondering what are you thinking about Eliza? I mean do you like her?"

Quietly... I'm thinking deeply before I answer. "Hmm. Eliza surely is a great person. She's more likely bubbly but secretly loves to go as energetic teenager girl. You know. Like our old high school days. Just like Talya, his old ex-girlfriend. Clearly we're too old for that. So she's getting married to our brother. There is huge opposite in them. Brandon could be fun going but he has old sixty years old self trapped in 23 years old body." (Laughs).

Mariana enjoyed our talks as she got the point from listening my point of view as she grew on agreed with me. "Damn. You're right. I got why I struggled to accept the fact that they're going to get married. I just keep that to myself as I was trying to figure out. I likes Eliza but why did Brandon made the rash decision. Honestly that's not him at all."

"Hmm..." I sat with my legs crossed. "I think I got the why that he want to marry her, you knew since his former girlfriend, Grace died. Brandon supposed still in grieving phase. I think he's not thinking clear. What are we supposed? But damn he's so happy with her. I don't want to ruin that."

Mariana looked me in my eyes as she agreed with me that there's no point for us to ruin their happiness as she's typically Mariana suggested that we should get our bikinis & covers on while we're exploring Turks & Caicos and checking out at the beach.

I'm wearing a cute pink, purple and teal boho chic pattern tube top with teal coloured bikini bottom. When I saw those pieces makes me thinking about Aaron. He's special to me as I'm still holding the love I has for Aaron. As I'm standing with bikinis and cream lace swimsuit cover on in front of the mirror.

"Cals, are you okay?" The familiar voice cuts in. I turned to see Mariana in adorable two pieces of hot pink swimsuit with black swimsuit cover.

"I'm... I'm fine. Okay." I replied.

Mariana still stay still with the worrying look on her face. "No you're not! I'm your sister. I knew when you're okay. What's going on in your mind lately. I've been noticing that you're not yourself since few days. C'mon I'm your sister. You can literally tell me everything! And I promised that my mouth is zipped up."

I cuts in before Mariana lectured me about how I'm important to her and everything. "Actually I'm thinking about Aaron... He's. I'm... I'm not over him. I'm still not over him. Ever since he and me. You knew. I confronted him but he told me that is wrong time. He's still with that damn Amanda!" I broke down into tears.

Shushed that's all I can heard Mariana trying to calm me down.

"Aaron, he's making the stupid choice obviously. Aaron and you're making adorable couple AF! You're brave. I'm promised that you will have your happy ending with a true love in someday. You're deserve much better than that. Okay. We're in T&C right now. Let have fun and forgot about boys!" All Mariana's words are true and those are calming me down. Help a lot.

An hour later,
Mariana and I exploring T&C by our arms crossed as we pointed to some booths that we would like to check out later.

"Hey guys!" A familiar voice nearby yelled. We found Jude with a friend of his beside the resort pool a few miles away, we're walking towards them.

"Hey!" We said in unison.

Jude asked us to join us to the beach with his friend, Taylor. Of course we accepted and thrilled to have them come along.

We went to the beach which thankfully only five minutes of walking from the resort to the beach. We're getting some rest laying on the sand and enjoying our few hours before the family dinner at the resort.

Taylor is the one who began our conversation, "I'm pretty sure that our week of here will be splendid of fun and surprises!"

I laughed and replied back "Pretty funny. Anyone who would want make other rash decision. I'm gonna think that our Moms are going to have heart attack if any one of us decided to get married here just like Brandon."

We laughed in unison as we went quietly while enjoying the beach view in front of us.

We went up to go to our resort to dress up clean for the family dinner.

"Callie! Callie! You're gonna see this!" Mariana yelled from familiar place nearby... The resort's merchandise store. Like typically Mariana does. I turned to walk towards Mariana but I felt someone held my eyes as I cannot see the someone who did that. My eyes went blank as I heard Mariana laughed as familiar voice called, "Callie. It's good to see you!"
