"i still can't get over the fact that you're moving" adelia sighs as she folds one of my dresses and places it in my suitcase. "you can come visit me anytime. i'll even buy your ticket." i bribe her making a laugh leave her mouth. "or you could just stay?" neels suggests, looking away from the tv and over at us while we do all of the work. i smile some at him and shake my head. "i wish, but i can't" i answer with a sigh. "i sign on the seventh. i miss my hometown" i tell them honestly. i miss everything about it. the longer i was there the more it made me realize how much i've missed it. i've missed the people, the smells, the basic scenery i hated all while i was growing up, and my family. i thought spain was something that would last forever but it's coming to an end and part of me is thankful that it is. i'll miss everyone i've grown close with here, but i feel more at home in omaha.
"speaking of friends... did you see jack?" adelia asks me, not caring if neels was in here. i glance over at him to see if it affected him but he was still focused on the tv. it reminded me of the conversation latrelle and i had... the guy was neels. we dated but felt more like friends, which we are now. the best of friends actually. i couldn't be more thankful it turned out that way, but i still feel a little awkward talking about exes or any guys i've liked or like in front of him. "i wouldn't even call us that" i answer honestly as i shake my head. she furrows her eyebrows as a stifled laugh falls from her mouth. "what makes you say that?" she asks me quickly, practically begging me to tell her every single detail.
"any time we'd see each other it was either awkward or him being a complete dick to me. i mean maybe i deserve it but some of the things were a little much. i tried to compromise and see if we could get a long at least but that obviously didn't work." i start out, my mind wandering to every time we saw each other. it felt good to see him, despite the over due on the awkwardness, i've missed talking to him. no matter how much i choose to deny it, i have. we had a good friendship before we dated and it'd be nice to have it again. it could take some time but i feel like it'd save us from a lot of stuff we'd have to be put through, especially with this vacation coming up. "he's probably just not used to seeing you." she winces, knowing she didn't have a clue of how to reply.
"he saw me almost everyday, he's got to be used to it by now. on top of that we're going on vacation."
"the group i mean. not just jack and i" i laugh, correcting myself so she doesn't get the wrong idea. "he will be there though." i add with a small sigh. "then why don't you try to talk to him about it?" she tells me like it was an easy thing to do. "that's going to be hard. he'll probably barely have any alone time with his new girlfriend being all over him" i practically gag at the thought of it. she was all over him at lunch the other day, it was actually kind of gross. we were in public, sophia was there and there were more families around us. she shouldn't have done half of the things she did. the more i think about it the more i get upset over it.
"she sucked on his finger at the table." i roll my eyes, trying to get the image out of my head. "you could tell she had to make sure i was watching too, she kept looking down in my direction." i add making her laugh some. before she could say anything i speak up again, "in private is one thing but in public? there was a baby at the table."
"and there was also you." she finally gets in making me pull my eyebrows together, wondering what she meant by that. "she was obviously doing it to get a rise out of you, and look at you... it definitely worked." she laughs, looking me up and down as the words come out of her mouth. "she didn't get a rise out of me... more so a gag. it was so gross addie." i whine. she laughs again and shakes her head. "or maybe she got some jealousy from you to show" she tells me making my mouth fall open some and my head to shake immediately. "you're ridiculous!" i laugh at her, knowing she's joking with me.
"i'd love to listen to you go on and on over how his new girlfriend was all over him in front of you, but we have business to take care of." she teases me. i throw the shirt that was in my hand in her direction and laugh. "shut up"
just a small filler chapter for her time back in spain.
