Chapter 3: City
Lucia POV
We drove back through the same path we entered down to the city. I look out the window and saw birds flying in the air, some of them will 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's give 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 to much for me. I enjoy the wind blowing pass my face and through my hair and it make 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 goosbump 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, is 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 give us peace of mind, it changes us.." she told me smiling at me and look 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 have find us a place to eat?" she asked me.
"Oh no, I have forgot mom, I'm doing it right away" I told her and grabbed my phone and search for a restaurant.
"Mom, why don't we just search the location of Mac Donald's or do you want to eat at 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 matured." 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 chuckled .. "please don't make me laugh, have you seen your body, that's all because of that junk food of Mac, Donald's honey." she told me making me gaspe.
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'am 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 gain a few 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 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 find The Hussar Gril Kimberley, it look nice and we can believe what we see on picture, but let's go. I'm just going to put the location on the GPS." I told her. "Okay, she said and looked on my phone to follow the location, I don't think that's to far shesaid as we wait for the robots lights to change so that we can go.
The town here wasn't so nice as ours back at home and it doesn't look bad either. Its not so busy around here as it is back at home. I checked on the GPS and see we driving now through Belgravia street and we can see the board saying The Hussar Grill.
"We find it." mom said "it wasn't so hard as I thought." she told me smiling. She look around for a place to park. she find one and park the car.
"This is so nice", I said and unbackle the seatbelt and climb 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 you fine there? mom asked looking at me.
"I don't know from where that cold wind suddenly came from. "I told her," I don't think I'm going to like it here winters", I said and climb out of the car.
"You will be fine and we will get used to it, is not like it's not so cold back at home." she told me throwing her arm around my shoulder when I reach her. We walk inside the restaurant together.
I'm glad I have my coat on this place is so cold, I miss home now at least is summer there. I sulk again. I'm going to die from this coldness. My hands is freezing, I believe my noise and cheek is pink now.
I try to put my phone in my pockets when I bumped into someone as my phone fell out of my hands, luckily not broken. I bend 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 bump into me. "I'am sorry, I should have watched where I was going." I heard a woman's voice.
"No, no its 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 face who Im speaking too. 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 taking my phone from her when our hand touches. a spark suddenly run 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 do was looking 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 voice pulling my eyes away from the women as she just laughed and walk away from me.
I was embarrassed, I just hope she doesn't think bad of me. My cheeks are burning which I find it strange." Do I blush oh no. "I hide my face with my hands and walk up towards mom where she wait up 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 show us to our table not far from the door.
"I didn't know woman's can make you blush. " she exclaim making me choke.
"I didn't know either", I added looking elsewhere just not at mom, who look at me like I don't know.
I really felt awful, what was that and that spark I felt when our hands touches. I couldn't stop thinking about her. It's like her face were 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 called my name.
"Uhm, I answered her shortly looking at her but my mind isn't here really. That woman I don't even know but why cant I just get her out of my mind.
"Where's your mind honey, since you bumped in that woman you just otherwise, are you okay?" mom asked me.
"A, uhm sorry, no mom you don't know what talking 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 harsh, a laugh escape 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 meun.
"I know I wasn't", I said also checking out the menu.
We ordered our food and I must say they know what they 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 don't think it's a good idea to eat out everyday which is true.
We had a nice talk, but she will now and then tease me about my in conquered with that woman making me just smile at her. She told me not to worry about her rather focused on finish school and go to the university. I know she will get over it even if it is not now, she is strong a 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 like the wise words said, "its takes a life time to forget someone you love. I will be with her very step of it.
We talk about many things and I told her that I want a part time job and she was happy about, but she just hope it won't going to interfere with my books. I give her guarantee that it won't happen.
"I find you a school and they say they have 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 have take.
"You will the judge of that." she told me smiling.
"I really wish it is 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 drive into the garage.
