Havana, Cuba is what dreams are made of. We grab our suitcases and head out to find Adrianne's aunt Jessie

"What kind of car does she drive?" Leslie asks, setting her bags down on top of each other

"Hell if I know" Adrianne shakes her head, "I haven't been here in a few years"

"Call her" Aria shakes her head, sitting down on a bench

"I will, I will" Adrianne pulls her phone out then walks away, assumably to call her aunt

"Have you told your lover that we arrived?" Leslie asks me, poking my side, "I haven't seen you take your phone out since we got here"

"I haven't yet" I shrug, "I will tell her once we are settled at Jessie's house"

"Ahh okay, I thought you was mad at Anissa or something" Leslie shrugs, "I was trying to be nosy"

"Fucking Leslie" I roll my eyes, poking her back, "I could never be mad at Anissa"

To be honest, I haven't texted her yet because I don't want to over-text Anissa. I want to give her space because I feel like I'm smothering her. I've seen her almost every day this week, yesterday included. She hasn't asked for it, but I want to give it to her either way.

"You say this until she pisses you off in two months" Aria grins

"Lay off, Kace", I tease

"She's here" Adrianne walks over, grabs her luggage by the handle, and starts walking toward an old school black Ford

"Sweet! A classic" Leslie stands up and grabs her bags to follow Adrianne. Aria and I follow suit, walking over to put our bags near the trunk. Jessie, an average height woman with deep brown eyes and dark black hair, gets out of her car to greet us

"¡Hola familia!" Jessie smiles, kissing each of us on the cheek, "let's get your bags put away!"

She opens her trunk so we can pile our luggage into the back of her trunk

"¿Mami and papi are with abuela, no?" Adrianne asks, climbing into the front seat

"Si" Jessie nods, "we're going to the house because it is late, we will see them tomorrow"

We climb into the car, one after the other, and ride until we reach Jessie's home. The house is beautiful, it's an pale blue, 1800s Spanish style home, with a white roof and door that brings out the beauty of it even in the dark.

"Your rooms are through that hallway and to your left, the bath is in the middle, and everything for bathing is in there already!" Jessie tells us, pointing everything out in the house

"Gracias, Jessie" Adrianne kisses Jessie's cheek, " buenas noches"

"Buenas noches" Jessie smiles, going off into a room and shutting the door

"We're in Havana, Cuba!" Aria whispers, squealing a little

"Right!" I smile, walking to the room that Jessie pointed out to us, "this place is beautiful!"

"I have to show Emmie this" Leslie pulls her phone out to take a few photos

"Of course you do" Adrianne laughs











The next morning we all wake up exhausted, jet lag kicking our asses for a little bit. We eat breakfast, talking about what we should do to explore Havana for the day

"I vote we go see some of the Museum of the Revolution!" Aria chimes in, looking down at her phone

"Or we could see the Castillo De Los Tres Reyes Del Morro" Leslie shrugs, "I would love to see that"
