City

Lucia POV

We drove back through the same path we entered down to the city. I looked out the window and saw birds flying in the air. Some of them would land on one of the big trees making me smile at how beautiful it is.

I admire the beauty of nature and felt so excited about how beautiful every tree and green grass is. Nature is something cool and beautiful, it gives off a fresh feeling.

I remember back at home, I would go out at the back of our jard and lay down on the grass when things were getting just too much for me. I enjoy the wind blowing past my face and through my hair and it makes you relax and feel better. I pull down the window and let the fresh air of the wind blow pass my face and right through my black hair.

I inhale the fresh air letting it all in, as I felt goosebumps arise on my skin but somehow make me feel excited about life and make me forget about problems. I love nature, God did a great job creating earth,everything is just perfect and incredible.

"I'm happy to see you enjoy the view my baby. ``Mom told me.

"Isn't lovely mom, I really do enjoy it here, it's beautiful." I told her with a smile on my face.

"It is honey, nature itself is beautiful. God knew what he was doing ,when he created it all. It's perfectly made just for us to enjoy it. That's one of the reasons I love it here ,nature gives us peace of mind, it changes us. ." she told me smiling at me and looking back at the road.

" I just don't sometimes know why people wanna destroy it", I sight.

"Because they do not know where it came from, that's why they have found us a place to eat?" she asked me.

"Oh no, I have forgotten mom, I'm doing it right away " I told her and grabbed my phone and searched for a restaurant.

"Mom, why don't we just search the location of Mac Donald's or do you want to eat at a restaurant? I asked, smiling at her.

"You see the thing with you teenagers, you don't check what you eat, so I don't think it's a good idea to go there. A restaurant will be nice, it's more mature." mom told me.

I stick my tongue out at her not believing her, it's not like she didn't eat junk food before," mom junk food is the best. "I squeal, making her laugh.

" What? '' she asked, hearing her chuckle .. "please don't make me laugh, have you seen your body, that's all because of that junk food of Mcdonald's honey." she told me, making me gasp.

She got me off guard, but I felt sad about what she just said. I stop searching for a place to eat and put my phone down on my lap and check out my body and glance back at mom. I just couldn't see anything wrong with my body right because I'm sitting.

"Mom", I said looking at her.

"Yes darling", she responded looking at me for just a second and back at the road.

"Are you saying I'm fat? I asked her on a serious note seeing a smirk cross on her lips.

" Darling all that I have said was, have you checked your body".. .. "Mom don't please, just spilled it out already.

" Yes you are, you have gained a little weight dear." she told me through giggles making me groan.

" Do I look that bad? I asked her lifting up my black coat to do a fine check hearing her laugh.

"Darling, that can wait for when you get home to check yourself, but no you don't look that bad."She told me, putting her hand on my lap caressing it.

" You just said it to make me feel better, I already feel off, thank you mom, just thank you."

" Come on now, did you find a place? "she asked me still giggle at me. I just rolled my eyes and grabbed my phone.

" Since you don't wanna go to Mac Donald's, I found The Hussar Grill Kimberley, it looks nice and we can believe what we see in the picture, but let's go. I'm just going to put the location on the GPS." I told her.

"Okay, '' she said and looked at my phone to follow the location. I don't think that's too far,'' she said as we waited for the robot's lights to change so that we could go.

The town here wasn't so nice as ours back at home and it doesn't look bad either. It's not so busy around here as it is back at home. I checked on the GPS and saw we were driving now through Belgravia street and we can see the board saying The Hussar Grill.

"We found it." Mom said "it wasn't as hard as I thought." she told me, smiling. She looked around for a place to park. She found one and parked the car.

"This is so nice", I said and unbuckled the seatbelt and climbed out. I open the door and grabbed my coat with my both hands holding in close to me when a freezing cold wind suddenly blow in my face making scream.

"Darling, are you fine there? mom asked, looking at me.

" I don't know where that cold wind suddenly came from. "I told her," I don't think I'm going to like it here in winter", I said and climbed out of the car.

"You will be fine and we will get used to it, it's not like it's not so cold back at home." she told me throwing her arm around my shoulder when I reached her. We walked inside the restaurant together.

I'm glad I have my coat on because it is so cold. I miss home now, at least it is summer there. I sulk again. I'm going to die from this coldness. My hands are freezing, I believe my nose and cheek are pink now.

I tried to put my phone in my pockets when I bumped into someone as my phone fell out of my hands, luckily not broken. I bent down to pick it up without checking who I had bump into.

I was about to pick up my phone, when my hand touched the same person's hand who just bumped into me. "I'm sorry, I should have watched where I was going." I heard a woman's voice.

" No, no it's fine, I'm sorry I should have also checked where I was walking, instead of trying to put my phone in my pocket." I told her,watching my phone in her hands.

I stop looking at my phone in her hands and look at this person's face who I'm speaking to. I looked into the most beautiful ocean eyes, it held me captive at the moment making me feel so stupid to stare,without knowing that I'm staring at her for minutes now when e she clear her throat showing me my phone.

"Here", she said, giving it to me with a smile on her face. How could I be so stupid, she saw me drooling at her . Nice move Lucia, I thought to myself.

"Thank you." I told her and took my phone from her when our hand touched. a spark suddenly ran down my hand and up to my arm. That's strange.

"It's okay and I'm sorry again about that." she told me but all I did was look into her beautiful eyes. I find it so attractive to look at and she is beautiful too.

"Darling is rude to stare. "I heard mom's voice pulling my eyes away from the woman as she just laughed and walked away from me.

I was embarrassed, I just hope she doesn't think bad of me. My cheeks are burning which I find strange." Do I blush oh no. "I hide my face with my hands and walk up towards mom where she waits for me.

" Yes you do blush, young lady, are you going to tell me what happened there? "Mom asked me.

" Mom please, stop it."I told her when the waitress showed us to our table not far from the door.

" I didn't know women can make you blush. " she exclaimed, making me choke.

" I didn't know either", I added looking elsewhere just not at mom, who looked at me like I didn't know.

I really felt awful, what was that and that spark I felt when our hands touched. I couldn't stop thinking about her. It's like her face was printed in my mind. Her eyes isn playing a big role in my mind. It was so beautiful, looking like the blue sky above us. How could someone be so beautiful?. I asked myself.

"Lucia, I heard mom call my name.

" Uhm, I answered her shortly after looking at her but my mind isn't here really. That woman I don't even know but why can't I just get her out of my mind.

"Where's your mind honey, since you bumped into that woman you just otherwise, are you okay?" mom asked me.

"A, uhm sorry, no mom you don't know what to talk about. I told her.

" I know, I wasn't born yesterday."she said looking at me with furrowed brows making me sight," I saw how you drool at her." She told me.

" Mom!please, '' I said a little harshly, a laugh escaped through my throat looking at her. Me drooling, no mom you didn't look right."

" I'm just telling you what I see." she told me as she looked through the menu.

" I know I wasn't", I said while also checking out the menu.

We ordered our food and I must say they know what they are doing. Everything is beautiful, the view of this place and the service is good. The food was delicious and now we wait for the bill and then we go to buy some food because mom doesn't think it's a good idea to eat out everyday which is true.

We had a nice talk, but she would now and then tease me about my conquests with that woman making me just smile at her. She told me not to worry about her, rather focused on finishing school and going to university. I know she will get over it even if it is not now, she is a strong fighter and we will make it somehow together through the storms.

We will have to move on without dad, but I know it will be hard for her to get over dad because I Like the wise words said, "it takes a lifetime to forget someone you love. I will be with her very step of it.

We talked about many things and I told her that I want a part time job and she was happy about it, but she just hoped it wouldn't interfere with my books. I give her guarantee that it won't happen.

"I found a school and they said they have a place for you there." she told me as we drove back home after eating out and doing groceries shopping.

"Is it a nice school?"I asked her while sending a message to Chrissy and a few picks I had taken.

" You will be the judge of that." she told me, smiling.

" I really wish it was nice mom, I'm not in the mood for a boring school and boring teachers. "I told her.

" It's going to be fine darling, you make it fine for yourself too, I know you can."she told me as we drove into the garage.
