A HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO THE AMAZING SIMZ1990 ! OUR CONVERSTAION HAS TO BE ONE OF BEST I'VE EVER HAD :D
HERE IS THE NEW CHAPTER! (JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS, THE CHAPTER STARTS OFF AT THE CARNIVAL AND THEY ARE GETTING READY TO LEAVE)!
We headed to the exit with a handful of snacks and toys we all won. I turned back to Carlos and smiled hugely seeing candy stuffed in his mouth. He laughed with me, almost choking on the cotton candy that shaped the inside of his mouth. I turned back around to see GiGi glaring at me, but it was only for a spilt second, because she then turned to James and laughed at something he said. I was confused for a moment, but shook it off, thinking it was nothing.
The guys had to leave because they had a hockey game tomorrow and they needed to be well rested. I walked home with Jo, Amanda, and GiGi and we talked about the night. GiGi didn't speak a word to me the whole walk, but when Jo and Amanda stopped at their houses, it became very awkward. I fiddled with my thumbs for a while, then I got the guts to speak up when she interrupted me.
"Why were you with Carlos with each other tonight?" her eyes narrowed towards me. I shivered as my soul was burned by her eyes.
"Well, we all paired up into two's. So Jo and Kendall went together and me and Carlos."
"What would have been wrong with going with Kendall?"
"I don't know, Jo wanted to hang out with him. You need to ask her on that one." I laughed nervously, but GiGi didn't follow suit. I looked at the floor and bite my thumb nail. I couldn't meet her eyes, they were too painful.
"Just so you know, Carlos is mine. And if you steal him from me, I would have to take action." She stepped closer to me, our noses only inches apart, her evil stare making her whole appearance green with envy.
"Listen, I didn't know you liked him. There is nothing going on between Carlos and me. We are just friends."
"Then explain the cuddling on the Ferris wheel!" my eyes grew larger, and she noticed. "Yeah, that's right! I saw you two ka-noodling in mid-air! Don't pretend you didn't!" she waved her finger at my face to show empathies.
"I can explain!" I tried to convince her.
"Save it, just realize something. I'm always watching you." then she turned to go back to her house, and the chills started to form all over my body.
I woke up Sunday morning to the smell of fresh tomatoes being cut. I rolled out of bed and walked zombie-like towards the kitchen. I rubbed my eyes so I can see better, and I found my mom and Nonna making fresh sauce. My Nonna instantly ran over to me and hugged and kissed me to death. I accepted it and hugged and kissed back. I never really get to see my Nonna; she lives in Italy and only comes about twice to three times a year. So whenever she's here, I try to clear my schedule so I can be with her as much as I can.
"Oh, my beautiful Alexa! You so big! And beautiful!" she cried to me, I just smiled and nodded my head.
"Grazie (Thank you) Nonna. Why are you making sauce, we have a whole can of it in the cabinet."
"It's-a always better fresh!" she said in her cute Italian voice. I smiled at her and turned to the huge contraption next to me. I gave it a weird look, then turned back to my mom and Nonna when the doorbell rang.
"I got it," I said to my mom. I walked over to the door and opened it to find the guys standing at my doorway. I quickly slammed the door in their face and ran to grab the blanket on the couch. I slowly opened the door to reveal their confused faces.
"Did we do anything?" Logan asked, and everyone nodded their heads.
"Sorry, it was reflexes. Please, come in." the guys all walked in and were hit with the smell of tomatoes instantly.
"What are you cooking?" James asked, holding his nose. "The smell is so acidic!"
"My mom and Nonna are making fresh tomato sauce. However, they decided to not tell me!" I yelled into the kitchen. Nonna walked into the living room, where we were, and smiled at the boys.
"Oh, are these the boys that like you?" my face looked like it was supposed to be with the other tomatoes in the bin. "Oh, Alexandria, is he the cutest?" she pointed to Kendall. And now, my face invented a new shade of red called "I'm Going to Kill My Nonna" shade.
"Ok, Nonna, tempo di lasciare (time to leave)." I pushed her out of the living room and back into the kitchen. I soon walked into the living room to apologize to them about my Nonna's immatureness.
"I'm so sorry, she doesn't know what she is talking about. She just came here from Italy and she's…"
"Your name is Alexandria?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah, it's the longer version of my name. The longest version is Alexandria Capri Filippa Rosalina Giuseppe." I said in my thick Italian voice. All their mouths dropped to the floor. I giggled softly and looked away. "Sorry, I grew up in an Italian family and I learn a lot over the years."
"I haven't heard a longer name since Carlos'!" Logan joked, and Carlos elbowed him in the shoulder. Logan flinched and started to fake cry. Everyone laughed, but we instantly stopped when Nonna walked into the room again, I turned and gave her a look and she just smiled and waved it away.
"Nonna, hai intenzione di dire qualcosa di stupid (are you going to say something stupid)?" I asked in Italian. She shook her head no and I let out a breath of relief.
"But, I did realized how strong these boys are. And I was wondering if they wanted to help with the making of the sauce." I looked over at them, trying to find out what they were going to say.
"Sure, we would love to," James said for all of them. I smiled and ran upstairs to but on an outfit. I decided on something comfy, yet fashionable. So I chose a neon pink giant tee shirt and a dark pair of jeggings. I threw on the slippers I wore yesterday and applied a small amount of make up. After a few minutes, I walked downstairs to find James, Logan and Carlos were wearing aprons and gloves. But I couldn't find Kendall anywhere. I asked Logan and he said he went inside, but he didn't know exactly where he was.
I had to go to the bathroom, so I went to the nearest one by the dining room and opened the door, after that, everything was a blur. All I remembered was Kendall shirtless. He scrambled to grab his shirt and I covered my eyes. But I tended to peak every once and a while.
"I'm so sorry, Kendall. I didn't know you were in here!" I apologized.
"It's ok, I should have locked the door. I just thought they would have told you I was in here."
"Logan said he didn't know where you were! And I have to pee!"
"Oh, ok, I'll just leave." I opened my eyes to see Kendall's bare body. His abs were flawless, every line was shown, separating every eighth of his abs. he even had a solid V-line and a "happy-trail". I found myself staring, and I instantly looked away.
"I'm gunna go now," he said.
"Ok," was all I could say. He moved around me, our bodies touched for a spilt second. But it was enough for my heart to soar.
After I was done peeing, I washed my hands and went back to kitchen to help with the others. I sat next to James and started cutting the tomatoes into fours. We both started talking about random stuff, starting with T.V. and ending with Martin Luther King Jr. Carlos and Kendall were both in charge of peeling the basil, and Logan and my Nonna were in charge of squishing the tomatoes with a special machine. So they had the easiest job, the machine did most of the work.
After a half an hour of cutting and peeling and squishing, I asked if we could take a walk around the block. My mom agreed and we walked out the door. I was in between carlos and james with kendall and logan on the outside.
We walked for what seemed like 10 minutes, but when we came back to the house, my mom yelled at us for being gone for almost an hour! Well, time flies when your having fun. We were talking about what happened yesterday, then I told the guys about the evil GiGi. They looked at me confused, but ended up believing me.
"So, GiGi likes me, and she was upset that you were hanging out with me?" Carlos asked, and I nodded my head.
"She said that I was flirting with you, and I told her that we were just friends!" I saw Carlos' face drop a bit, but it immediately lit up when he came up with an idea.
"What if we were flirting?" Carlos asked.
"But that's not true." I stated, but he shook his head.
"We will flirt with each other whenever she is around, she gets jealous..."
"And, what? There's no solution to it!" I explained.
"I hate that idea!" Kendall pointed out, I blushed slightly and turned to Logan and James.
"How was she when you met her? Was she a bitch?" I asked.
"No, she was sweet. I guess when she saw you and Carlitos together, she must have exploded." Logan explained. I nodded. 'Great,' I thought, 'I made Cinderella become the evil step mother!'
"Don't feel like your the reason," James said to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. "She just had a green little monster in her, nothing you should worry about."
"Should I worry that she said 'I'll be watching you'?" I asked.
"Well, that's when you have to worry."
"You think she is going to kill me for being friends with Carlos?" I joked.
"Well..." Kendall thought and my heart sank. "I'm kidding! She isn't going to do anything, I promise." His warm smile lit up his face, making me feel warm inside.
"Ok," I said, believing him. "Let's get back home and finish the pasta sauce." We walked back home after that.
That was before, now we were all sitting on folding chairs, cutting more tomatoes. It was me and Kendall chopping them in one corner, while the others were someplace else.
"I didn't know you spoke fluent Italian." He said.
"Well, it isn't something that I thought you all would be interested in."
"It's very interesting, it means you're very smart!" I blushed a deep red color.
"Thank you,"
"And, your full name is beautiful too. Again, why didn't you tell me, uh, us?" He covered up.
"Again, I didn't think it was that special. I don't even like my name. It sounds like the name that Estavan in Suite Life of Zack and Cody had."
"Well, I think it's beautiful, like you." I turned to him confused. But I still smiled widely.
"Thank you, Kendall." I said. I guess my Nonna was right about what she told me a couple of years ago.
"Love is looking out for your friends. But true love is looking out for someone that doesn't need any help at all."
