Anastasia's wishes

Chapter 17 -Australia-

"ANA!" I hear my cousin's voice.

"BREE," I run to her and hug her. My eyes are immediately watery.

"Hey, come on now Ana. This is your new life now, Carla."

"Yeah, this is my new life now. Thank you for picking me up at the airport. Let's go!"

Goodbye, Nathan.

"Do you want to go home or do you want to buy lunch first?" Bree asks me while she drives us home.

"Can we just go home and cook at home?" I ask her.

"Yeah, sure. Just like old times, right?" She winks at me. "Remember when we forgot to turn off the stove and almost burnt the house down?"

"By we you mean you, right, Bree?" I ask her.

"Hey, you supposed to remind me. And you didn't. You were busy on the phone with that Adam boy. I wonder why you liked him though. He has a big nose. Well people say that the bigger your nose, the bigger your dick. Does he have a big dick?" She makes a joke.

"I will pretend not to hear that," I answer her.

"Oh come on."

"You are a crazy lady."

"I'm just horny. I haven't got laid for a long time."

I close my ear and then start singing. I know she's just trying to make me forget about Nathan. I don't want to think about anything now. I just want to sleep. I'm not just tired from the long flight. But I'm emotionally exhausted too.

We arrive at a small house near the beach. You can actually just walk to go to the beach. It reminds me of The Smith's beach house. It's much bigger than Bree's house. But the beach is similar to this. I remember when Nathan and I... No. No. No. No more thinking about him.

I walked into the house. It's a nice home. I can see Bree's arts around the house. I see some of her paintings and potteries. I know my cousin is talented. I hope that more people will acknowledge her work.

"This is a nice home, Bree."

"Thank you, Carla. It's your home too, now."

"For a while. I'll find my own home as soon as possible. I don't want to become troublesome."

"Nonsense. No more of that. My niece/nephew will live here. And I will be a doting aunt. I will teach her how to use make up, styling hair, make him understand the importance of condoms." She says blatantly.

"You will not teach my kid about s-e-x." I gasp.

"Cute, you think I can't spell sex? Come on, it's called sex education. You need to teach your kid about sex as soon as possible. Otherwise they will learn it from the internet. And it's bad. Do you know that since fifty shades of grey, people are suddenly into BDSM? Last month I heard kids talking about it. They are like 15 years old. Come on, it's not right. I didn't know anything about bdsm when I was that age. I was busy going through first base with Tom while trying to do homework. Kid nowadays are scary."

"You are scaring me right now, Bree."

"Come on, let's make some food. I already made choco lavafor dessert." The devil is laughing now.

That makes me cry. It reminds me of Nathan.

"Oh, come on now. I don't cook that bad."

"It's not about you cooking, Bree. It is Nathan's favorite."

"Okay, okay. No more about Nathan. Stop with the water works. Let's just order pizza and then watch some porn. It reduces stress quickly."

I gasp again.

"Kidding! We can go to a party after this. Let's have some beer pong games. I used to be good at that."

"I'm pregnant, you crazy girl!" I toss a pillow to her face.

Bree is the craziest person I have ever known. But she's actually sweet. I know that she's messing with me to reduce my stress. I get to see around her house. It's not so big but it wasn't small either. It has 2 rooms at upstair and two rooms downstair. She says I will take one of the room downstair and we can turn the other room into nursery room. She stays upstair and the room next to hers is her art room. She paints, makes some pottery and other art things there.

We finally decide to order pizza and then I'm going to have a nap. I'm kind of tired. Being heavily pregnant and sitting on an airplane for hours are killing me. My back really hurts.
