Mary was still waiting for her mother to show up. Alice was supposed to be at the caff'e by 2pm.
She was anxious to know the so called good news from her mother. Her thoughts were cut of by her mother's presence. The tall italian looking man by her side appeared to be the so called news.
Mary, my daughter this is Sebastian Mauri my new boyfriend. said Alice looking nervous between the other two people.
Please sit down, you don't need to be standing. Said Mary motioning to the chairs in front of her. Nice to meet you Mr. Mauri. she said offering her hand.
Please, i feel old with the mr. thing, call me Sebastian. Answered the smiling man taking her hand in his.
So Alice what are the news that you had for me? looking to her mother.
I needed to talk to you about Sebastian and David. As you know your father and i are no longer married. We , Sebastian and me, decided to marry in 4 months from now, and we were hopping that you could be my maid of honor. Francesco, Sebastian's son, would be his best man.
said a very nervous Alice.
As long as Brook, Rachel and Grace can attend to the marriage. Brook has to be known as my girlfriend. answered Mary.
We don't have anything against that. answered Sebastian.
Will David be there? asked Mary.
With John by his side. answered a smilling Alice.
Sooo, what are your intentions with my mother. asked Mary with a fake stern look on her face.
The best intentions that a man can have for his women. I intend to make her the most happy women on earth with all the love that i have in me. answered Sebastian throwing a loving look to Alice.
I see that. said Mary smilling to the goffy looks in her lunch partners faces. You said that you had news about David, i'm still waiting. looking curiously to Alice.
Actually, it is about David and John. They are about to adopt a baby girl and they want you as her godmother.
wow, i didn't knew that David wanted children. said a surprised Mary. I'm honored, but i have to think about it. she said seriously
So, tell me about Brook. I don't see that girl in a long time. How is she and Rachel. asked Alice.
Brook has her own bookstore. Rachel is almost 3 years old. I think Brook is IT for me, you know? She is my bestfriend and so much more. said Mary with a dreamy look on her face. Rachel is like a mini-Brook, she reminds me of Brook when we played together.
And Grace? How is she? asked Alice.
Grace is being Grace simply. You remember how she was before, she is still the same just a little older. said Mary making the group laugh.
You know that you will be old someday too, don't you? asked a teasing Alice.
Me and every person on this planet is getting older by the minute. We have to make it worth it. answered a smiling Mary.
Ditto. Said Sebastian. So you find yourself happy with your girlfriend and her family?
I think i wouldn't change it a bit. I wouldn't have it in any other way. said a smiling Mary.
