WOMAN - H.S

3.

My mom and I had watched the sun rise before my dad had called her worrying about where she was. 

She said she had felt like a spontaneous teenager again, and laughed about how much trouble she was in. 

"Maybe I should pack my bags and run to the nearest playground" she said as she walked out the door. I bellyached laughed with her all night. "Don't" I said before giving her a hug and telling her I would see her in an hour at breakfast. 

The morning was mellow, Some more family members arrived as well.

Olive and my mom had reunited. They hugged each other as they jumped up and down like school girls being told they could have a sleepover. 

My mom had insisted she take Olive and I out for a late lunch since Andrew and Jay and my dad were going golfing for the day. 

"So this is the Jay you were telling me about?" my mom had asked Olive. "yeah" Olive nodded smiling. "He's handsome, and funny, I see what you meant though" she said making both of us laugh. 

"Anna, you never told me, have you met anyone?" she asked. I shook my head as I took a sip of my lemonade. "no, but I'm not looking either" I said shrugging my shoulders. 

"You're never looking" mom said smiling. 

"That's because men are gross and mean. After Charles I thought about going gay" I said truthfully. "I don't blame you" mom said. "second that" Olive said before taking a drink of her soda. 

"Did you tell your mom about that hot guy at the coffee shop a few years ago?" Olive asked raising her eyebrows up and down. My mom perked up at this. "What was his name? Harry?" my mom asked. "Mhm" Olive hummed nodding.  

My mom and Olives eyes were glued to me. 

"I haven't seen him since" I shrugged. "He's not even from here he had a British accent. He's probably in England." I stated. My mom pouted at my statement. 

"Have you met Andrews Bride?" I asked changing the topic. 

My mom nodded. "Yeah her names Tasha, she's really sweet,  She's got really pretty blonde hair too. I'm going to take her into the salon next time I go and show the hairdresser I want her hair." She said making Olive and I playfully roll our eyes. 

My mom and her hair. 

Tasha and her mom are flying in tomorrow. 

"Her mom is really nice too, but she doesn't have my humor. I might have to accidentally not inform her about the family gatherings" she said slowly. "Mom!" I said while Olive bellyached laughed at her. "That was mean!" I scolded her trying not to laugh myself. 

"I'm kidding" she said holding her hands up in defense. 

When we went back to the Hotel Olive and I took a walk around the building with my mom so she could get her steps in, to find out they have a tennis and a basketball court.

It will keep us entertained, so we went to go into town to get a basketball, while my mom went to go have a bath.

Now I am watching Olive play 'Ennie Mennie Miney Mo' with them.

"Olive it's just a color" I laugh at her wanting a yellow ball instead of the normal brown color.

"Yeah but...it's unique, I think we should get this one" she says holding up the yellow ball.

"Okay" I agree smiling at her.

"Yay" she says jumping up and down with excitement. I couldn't help but join in with her as we both laughed.
