The Summer of Love ♡ Benny Rodriguez

12. Sleepover

"Mama!!! Mami!!!" I yell running downstairs. I look around and see Luna and Cole watching TV in the living room. I giggle and then look to see Claire and Rob at the dining room. I roll my eyes and see my mom coming from out of the kitchen. I catch Claire looking at Benny and I but mostly at Benny. My eyes go down to our hands, we were still holding each other's hands. I slowly let go and Benny just looks at me and also let's go. 

"Natalia." She says. "No vas a saludar?" She asks. Translation you may ask... She technically asked if I was going to say hi.

"But ma—" I stopped talking because I noticed her giving me a glare. I groan and I hear Benny chuckle.

"Hi Rob." I say, looking at Rob and he says hi back. I look at Claire and  she was looking at, Benny. "Hello Claire." I say.

She looks at me and had a blank expression. "Oh hi." Is all she says. I go up to my mom.

"Feliz?" I ask and she just rolls her eyes and laughs.

"Now what do you need to ask me?" She questions me. I go to Benny and stand beside him.

"You see ma, Timmy and Tommy are throwing a sleepover at their house and I wanted to ask if I can go?" I asked her in the sweetest way possible. Before she could say anything I give her the puppy eyes.

She sighs. "Fine. In one condition though." She says.

"Uhm... Okay. That is?" I ask very confused. She does to Rob and looks at Claire. Oh no... Please no.

"You have to let Claire go with you too." She says.

"What?" Claire and I look at both our parents and say at the same time.

"Now that Luciana and I are together you both need to get along with each other like sisters would." Rob says.

"Daddy but I have to go out with my friends tomorrow. We all agreed that we were going to the movies." She whines to Rob. "Anyways, I don't have any clothes."

"Ha exactly so she can't go." I said pointing at my mom.

"That won't be a problem because you can borrow some of Natalia's clothes." She says. My jaw drops and I look at my mom. "Natalia take her to your room."

"Ughsh... Fine." I groan. I look at Benny.

"I'll go home and get ready. Meet me at my house when you're ready." He says. I nod and he leaves. I go upstairs and Claire follows behind me. I can't believe my mom. Claire borrowing my clothes... Later when she gives it back I'm going to have to bleach it or not wear it anymore and throw it out.

We reached my room and I opened the door. I go to the closet and move the boxes away. I lay the stuff I'm going to take on my bed.

"There. Pick whatever you want that's in the closet. Remember, this isn't the mall so don't expect me to have things that you would buy there." I say. I hear her giggle and she goes to the closet. I grab my mini backpack and start putting my clothes in there.

"So are you and that boy dating?" She asks me. I didn't wanna look at her because I felt my face get warm.

"No. We're just friends nothing more." I say. Benny is just my best friend and I don't see him in any other way.
