Barbie Dolls
After breakfast Ana went back to her apartment much to Christian's dismay. He missed her already and she just left! Ana let herself in with her key and walked in and saw Kate sitting at the island working on her laptop. "Hey, how's it going?" Ana asked Kate innocently. Kate stared at her sister and sighed really big.
"It's going good, I guess. I am having to totally redo this article about Big Brothers Big Sisters though. I know, I know it's my own fault." She grumbled as she typed on her laptop. "Are you going to be staying with Christian every night? If you are, I may get another roommate." She said defiantly.
Ana stared at her. "First of all, that is none of your business and secondly this is my apartment. If you don't like what I am doing, then you can find your own apartment and pay for it yourself." Ana said defiantly back. "I am going to change my shoes and put these things away and then head out." Ana said as she walked away from Kate and went into her bedroom and shut the door a little harder than needed.
Kate watched her walk off in stunned silence, then wiped a tear away. "That's not how I thought that would go." She mumbled to herself under her breath.
Ana came out a few minutes later in her yoga pants and an oversized t-shirt wearing flip flops. "I will be gone for a while, I am taking Isla to have a Spa Day." Kate stared at her blankly. "My Little Sister Isla?" Ana said trying to jog Kate's memory. Kate just shrugged and kept typing. "Okay, see you later." Ana said with one last look at Kate and walked out of the apartment.
Sawyer was waiting for Ana when she exited her apartment. "We are off to the nail salon and then to the cupcake place." Ana said happily. They went downstairs to the parking garage and got in the car and drove over to Isla's house. This was the first time Ana would meet Isla's dad and brother and take Isla somewhere. They pulled up to the modest apartment complex and Sawyer parked the SUV and came around and opened Ana's door. They walked up the front door and were buzzed in and Ana rang the bell for Apartment 405.
Isla answered and excitedly told Ana to hurry on up. They went up the elevator in amused silence. Sawyer got off the elevator first and Ana followed. They no sooner got off the elevator then Isla had her apartment door open and was running down the hall towards them. "Ana, you came! I am so happy to see you!" She exclaimed and threw her arms around Ana in a big hug. "Come meet my daddy and brother and I want you to see my room!" She chattered happily to Ana as she pulled her towards their apartment door that was standing open. Her dad was standing just inside the door holding her brother John John.
"Nice to meet you Ana, I'm John Matthews." He said shaking her hand warmly. He looked at Sawyer, wondering who he was. "Is this your boyfriend?" He asked.
"It's nice to meet you too Mr. Matthews. This is my personal protection Luke Sawyer. He goes where I go." She tried to explain it as simply as possible. "I had some incidents on campus last year and my dad and my boyfriend insisted I have a bodyguard." She said quietly. "And who is this young man?" She said as she smiled at John John trying to change the subject.
"Ana, this is my little brother. Remember, I told you all about him?" Isla questioned Ana seriously. Ana smiled down at her.
"I remember you telling me that. Did you want to show me your room before we leave? We have an appointment to get a mani pedi in 30 minutes. We don't want to be late." Ana explained to Isla as she took Ana's hand and led her into her room. It was an explosion of Barbie Dolls. "I didn't know they made this many Barbies." Ana said as she walked around Isla's room and took in the vast amount.
"Daddy started buying me Barbies when I was still in my mommy's tummy!" Isla said proudly. "I have 124!" She took Ana's hand again. "I'm ready for my Spa Day!" They went back out to the living room where Sawyer and Mr. Matthews were standing waiting.
"Sir, here is the address of the Nail Salon and we will be there about an hour and a half then we will go to The Cup and have cupcakes and milk. We shouldn't be gone more than 3 hours tops. Is that okay with you?" She asked as they walked towards the door.
"That is fine, Ana. I have your phone number and I feel better after talking to Sawyer. Isla, come give daddy a kiss and hug before you go." He asked his daughter. She came running over to him and hugged and kissed him.
"Bye Daddy, bye John John. I love you!" Isla blew them kisses as she took Ana's hand and walked out of the apartment. "I can't wait to get my nails done in a salon! My daddy usually paints my fingernails and toenails for me. He said no bright colors or black!" Isla repeated back to Ana what her dad told her to say.
"Got it! No red or black or purple or green then!" Ana teased her Little Sister. She laughed a cute little girl laugh.
"I want us to get matching colors! I love you Ana! This is so much fun!" She was jumping up and down now. "I can't wait for my daddy to see my mani pedi!" She said excitedly.
"We will take a selfie and send it to him so he can see right away." Ana said. Isla hugged her hard.
"Oh thank you, thank you!"
