Finally Preston caught up to me right when we got to our rental car.
We pile our luggage, and get into the car.
"Next stop to our hotel", I said smiling
When we got to our hotel it was night so we decided to just go to bed, and leave our adventuring to tomorrow.
"I can't believe this is where I'm from", I thought as I woke up, it's absolutely beautiful.
Being the eager person I am, this morning I had woken up bright and early so I wouldn't miss a single thing.
*Preston's POV*
I woke up to the sounds of birds chirping, and Marla singing lightly.
I need to tell her, I thought.
This is the perfect time, although I don't want to overwhelm her, for the first time she's visiting her home country, this is the first time I have seen her this excited, and I don't want to ruin it.
Ok, I like my best friend.... I mean how could I not, with her gorgeous brown hair, and piercing green eyes. The only thing holding me back from telling her was ruining our friendship.
"Preston come on get up so we can go!", Marla said breaking me out of my thoughts
"Ok ok", I said laughing
---------------
After a full day of sightseeing, going around to little cafes, and having a great time we decided to go back to the hotel.
---------------
"Hey Preston I have an idea", I said
"And that is?", he said
"I mean since we're here what do you think about going to visit the orphanage I was adopted from", I asked
"Marla I don't know if that's a good idea", Preston said
"Why?", I asked
"I'm not sure all I know right now is that I'm exhausted and we should go to bed.", he replied
"Fine", I said kind of irritated
Why didn't he want to go there, why is it a bad idea, I'm just curious about my past, since my parents always refused to talk to me about it.
I grew up knowing that I was adopted from Italy, and that's about it, or that's all I was told.
----------
*Preston's POV*
I didn't know If going to visit the orphanage Marla was adopted from was a good idea, because I don't want to see her get hurt, something could happen, I understand she really wants to know more about her past, but is visiting the orphanage necessary?
I'm willing to do that only if it makes her happy, but I'm still very cautious.
----------------
"Preston, wake up", I heard Marla say
"What?," I say groggily
"I called the orphanage this morning.."
"Marla I told you that's not a good ide...", she cut me off by saying...
"They said they had no record of a Marla Marie there ever", she said quietly
I could see tears forming in her eyes.
"Marla that makes no sense", I say still half asleep
"Preston....", she whispers
"Yes?"
"My parents said they did something in Italy"she says quietly
"What is that supposed to mean?", I question
"I don't know, the morning we left I heard them say they did something in Italy"
"Marla I'm sure it's nothing, and we'll ask your parents about the orphanage later, but for now let's go get something to eat", I say
I can still see the hurt on her face when she agrees to get something to eat.
It kills me to see her upset and confused, but to be quite frank I'm confused as well.....
