Chapter 13:Seeing Uncle Mateo and Aunt Julia Again

(The next night)
Valentina's POV:We Just pulled up to The Hotel were I see Mateo and Aunt Julia in front of it. (Mateo and Julia are in the media) We get out and Me, My mom, and Sofia walk over to them. Aunt Julia. Hugs my mom tightly. But I hear what she whispers.
Julia:" i'm sorry,I'm so so sorry. I shouldn't have to defended him." Mom hugs her back tightly. Even though aunt Julia is younger. She was always my moms Friend. And my aunt no matter what. Mateo came over to me and Sofi smiling. Him and aunt Julia have been together for sometime now.
Mateo:" hi girls, you probably don't even remember me. I remember you begging me to read you a bedtime story because you liked my accent." He said looking down at me. I laugh remembering six-year-old me. I always did love him reading the stories because of his accent. Back then it always made it sound funny. He still has his accent. I smile as I hug him tightly.
Me:" hi Uncle Mateo!!! It's been a while, even though I remember your first name. I can never remember your last name." He chuckles as we pull away from the hug,
Mateo:" it's Levy." I smile as he crouches down to Sofia.
Mateo:" when you were a baby you wouldn't even let me touch you. Stubborn little girl." Sofi giggles as he picks her up. I walked over to Mom and Aunt Julia. Aunt Julia looks at me with tears coming in her eyes. We hug.
Julia:" you look just like Abuelita Santiago. I was just on the phone with her. Telling about how you girls are coming to stay with us. She wants to see you all three of you." I smile at what she said. I haven't seen Abuelita Santiago. In a long time she got her visa and moved out here when I was 2. The first time I saw her. She told me her goal was to get her visa before my third birthday. What nobody knows is that on my father's side. I come from a really rich family. The last time I saw her was a week after my dad left us.
Me:" that sounds nice, let me go when it started on getting our bags out." Before I could walk away aunt Julia pulled me back.
Julia:" you don't have to, just pop the trunk we can have the Bellman Bring your stuff up. I want to catch up with you girls." I smile as we walk in. To the hotel with uncle Mateo and Aunt Julia. Mateo hands Sofia to me. Smiling before kissing both of our heads.
