I sat next to Fabian and I have to admit the mood was a bit awkward around us. Yeah sure we kissed but we're not official at all... texts from UK to USA and vice versa are expensive so we barely talked. We did skype a little and talked on facebook of by email but I guess that not being face to face, it ws harder for both of us to make the first move... When I arrived I thought that maybe, we were still just friends but he took my hand the minute he saw me and was about to kiss me when Jerome came in, complaining as always. Sinc that moment it's been a little awkward but I guess that it's not for long.
I smiled thinking about him while unpacking. This year I'm staying with KT, she really seems nice! And she's form the US, that's homey, even though the Ohio and Pennsylvania's accents are quite different, it's always nice to have something fmiliar around. I'm also sharing with her daugther, which I first found odd but the kid is a sweet and KT swore to me she was really quiet so I guess it won't hurt.
"So how's it like, being surrounded by english guys?" KT asked while making her bed, with Xaya holding tightly onto her left leg
"Well, charming by boys, weird by bad people and just different by friends" I joked finishing my work and seing how KT was only half her way done "do you need help?" I walked closer to her finding her perfume quite pleasurable (I so hated Patricia's...).
"Yes please! Xaya honey please get off me" She begged to the little girl who pouted but stepped back sitting on the floor "Could you just help me with the clothes please?" KT requested putting her hands together like she was praying. I nodded giggling and took from her smaller box a tiny shirt laughing at it and laying it on the closet, doing this a few times before realizing the box was empty and moving to the other one as so did she.
"Thanks, I can do it now, I was just having some trouble with the bed" She smiled at me and got from a bigger box a picture with her, Xaya, a woman looking like both of them and a guy, not like the others, white, smiling to the picture. "I miss them already..."
"I know how you feel... I miss Gran so much"
"And your parents?" KT chuckled as if I was joking around.
"They died, in a car accident, i don't remember them" KT gasped and raised her hands to her mouth.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know! If it makes you feel any better, my parents travel all the time, I was raised by my aunt" She then pointed to the woman standing next to her on the picture "and her boyfriend" she then gestured the white man smiling on the corner.
"We have more in common then I thought" I sadly replied, running hand on my durty-blonde hair as i watched you settle the picture on yourbedside table
"Mommy, I'm tired" Xaya rubbed her eyes with her tiny fists, and KT picked her up, laying the baby girl on her own bed, placing a kiss on her forehead and whispering on her ear "take a nap" if I got right, before covering Xaya with the blankets smiling. I watched her as she rolled down the shutters, placed her finger in front of her lips and took my hand leading me outside the room an closing then the door gently.
"Wow that was fast, she really is quiet" I admitted, letting go off her hand
"Yeah, I guess so" She smiled walking to the living room as I followed her "So where are you from?"
"Ohio, you?" She gave me a toothy grin sitting down on th dining table
"Pennsylvania"
"God, it's great to have an American girl in the house!" I admitted "I mean, Eddie is cool but you get me" I giggled as she nodded
"Yeah! 'Do! I'm just a little creeped out Xay will get this accent" KT laughed, and I joined her
"What do the inicials K and T stand for by the way?" I asked after the laughing had stopped
"Kara Tatianna... I know, terrible names, blame my parents!"
"Kara Tatianna? It's actually pretty! Sounds like an Egyption old name or something"
"I hate it, but thank you"
"Hey ladies!" greeted Jerome, taking a bite in an apple noisely and taking a chair between KT and I, as I saw her bitting her lip and playing with her hair, I try my best to hold down laughter.
