Saturday morning Tori woke up with a smile on her face. Her grandparents were here from her old hometown. She slipped on UGG slippers as she walked down stairs to see if anyone else was up. She heard Spanish singing coming from the kitchen as she got closer she saw her mom and her grandmother singing in tone.
Her mother started to pick up the language back when she first started dating David. Ever since then she would sometimes use it around the house but Tori's grandmother, Lina, would call monthly to check on her grandchildren. Tori would talk for hours, trying to communicate with her grandmother in her second language, when Trina would just yell a quick hello and goodbye.
"Tori, mija, why don't you come and help us fix breakfast?" Lina asked her granddaughter. Tori nodded and walked over to them.
Lina saw her beautiful granddaughter. She definitely picked up her genetics from her father side of the family. But Lina frowned when she saw behind the façade that Tori put on. Her eyes weren't shiny like they usually do whenever she's genuinely happy.
Lina made a note about it to talk to her later on the day. The three girls began mixing the pancake batter as they sand and danced like fools. They heard two different male chuckles coming from the living room. The girls stopped and looked their way. They had mix on their faces and some even in their hair.
"Don't stand there. Fix the table." Lina said as she wagged her finger at her son. David came over to the girls and gave them all a kiss good morning. Tori hugged her grandpa Luis and gave him a cheerful 'buenos dias'. He returned her hug and gesture as he helped David with the table.
They were all putting the food down at the table when a grouchy Trina came downstairs. They all looked at her as she mumbled a few words at them. They shook their heads as they already knew what to expect from the older Vega.
When they finished breakfast, Lina decided to pull Tori aside and ask if she wanted to take a walk with her. Tori nodded her head and rushed upstairs. She slipped out of her pajamas and dressed into some cut off high-waist shorts, and a loose fitting crop top. She slipped on her white Toms and ran her fingers threw her waves. The sun looked bright so she didn't bother with make-up. She grabbed her sun glasses and met her grandmother in the living room.
They said their goodbyes and started their walk.
"So sweetheart, how's school going?" Lina decided to start off slow before asking her what was keeping her from being really happy.
"It's different. I have five friends who I hang out with everyday. Cat is a wild, red head. And by wild I mean the color of her hair. She actually like a child stuck in a teenager body. But I adore her. Andre is my best friend. I helped him out with the showcase and we have this musical chemistry. Robbie's different. He has a puppet named Rex who is like his alter ego. Rex is more outgoing and straight up were Robbie is shy and sweet. Then there's Jade and Beck. They're inseparable and two different people. Jade's coldhearted and mean. Beck is sweet, caring, and yeah, he may look like a bad boy but he's a sweetheart. He's the one that encouraged me into trying out for this play." Tori rambled on and on about Beck.
That's when Lina noticed that sparkle in her granddaughter's eye. This boy, Beck, is the reason for her happiness. She smiled and nodded at the things she was saying about the boy.
"So, what's stopping you?" Lina asked as they reached the park Tori had been with Beck a few days ago.
"He has a girlfriend and daddy wouldn't accept him. You know how he can be," Tori said with a sad smile. The life in her eyes were going away replaced with frustration.
"Well, he can't love two people but he can fall out of love and find a new one," Lina said with a bright smile.
Tori laughed as her grandmother suggested that he could fall in love with her.
"What about dad?" Tori said doubting herself and her grandmother.
"Who cares? Tori, listen I know you've never broken any rules or whatever it is your parents tell you not to do, but you have to live a little. Sometimes going behind someone's back isn't that bad. I was a teenager once too. I snuck out to see papa. My father would have never allowed him to step anywhere near me or the house." Lina admitted to Tori.
"How did Grandpa Manuel allow you two to get married?" Tori asked.
"I begged and begged him to give him a shot. And when that didn't work, he caught me sneaking out a few times. No matter how much trouble I was getting myself into, he finally realized that grounding me wasn't going to stop me from seeing him. So he finally asked me to bring papa Luis home from dinner. Grandpa Manuel saw what a gentlemen he was and finally approved." Lina said with a small smile.
Tori nodded as she smiled widely, making her cheekbones pop up. Tori and Lina continue to talk about random things and as the weather started to pick up they decided it was best to head home.
"I want to see him this weekend, grandma." Tori said as she turned the corner.
"Then go see him mija." Lina encouraged.
"But dad will ask who I'll be going to see and I can't tell him Beck. He already doesn't like him." Tori explained.
"Tell him a little white lie, it won't hurt. As long as its for a good cause."
"He promised me that he'd help me with some lines from the play."
"Well why don't you go after dinner? Your parents are planning to show me and papa the city. You were supposed to stay home with Trina."
"I'll ask if I can go to Cat's during dinner." Tori said with a smile as they arrived home.
Tori went up to her room to change into something more comfortable and texted Beck the plan.
Tori slipped on some dark washed skinny jeans with a floral print top. She put her hair in a messy pony tail and applied a small amount of make up. She slipped on her Toms again and walked downstairs for dinner.
As they were all seated Tori found the appropriate time to ask.
"Daddy, may I go over to Cat's house when we're done with dinner?" Tori said with a slight pout.
"For what, sweetheart?" David asked her daughter as he spooned some mash potatoes.
"She's helping me rehearse some lines for this play. The auditions are this Monday." Tori half lied.
"Sure, but I want you home, 10 sharp." Tori nodded her head, happily as she said thank you a hundred times.
The table returned to their casual conversation. Trina went on and on about how unfair it was that she couldn't audition because the teacher didn't teach her grade. Everyone tried to sooth her and comfort her as they finished their food fast. They were sick of her complaining.
"Alright, we're taking the grandparents out for some sight seeings. Tori, would you like a ride to Cat's?" David asked.
"No I'm going over in a little bit. She's still having dinner." Tori said smoothly. This lying thing was easier than she thought. 'Maybe I could make a good actress'.
They said their goodbyes and walked outside. Tori waved them goodbye from a window. When she was sure they were gone she sprinted upstairs to freshen up.
"What are you so excited about?" Trina asked her while leaning on the doorframe of the bathroom.
"I'm going over to Beck's." Tori admitting with a slick smile.
"Woah, princess Tori lied to our dear parents? In front of our grandparents? Someone call the police, there's a maniac on the loose." Trina joked.
Tori rolled her eyes as she brushed past her.
"Please don't tell, grandma knows." Tori said as she picked up her leather jacket off her computer chair.
"Grandma helped you with this? How come she doesn't help me?" Trina whined.
"I'm her favorite." Tori smirked as she ran downstairs when she heard a honk.
Trina gasped when she saw Beck in the drive way. Trina always thought Beck was a hottie even though he's a year younger. Trina was always jealous of Tori. She was the perfect child and got all the attention from her parents but I guess that wasn't Tori's fault, Trina was a little rebellious.
Tori got inside the car and waved to Trina.
"Hello." Tori said with a small smile. She would have walked to Beck's house if she knew were he lived.
"Hey, how was your day?" Beck asked as he took a quick glance at her appearance. She looked breathtaking. She was a girl that didn't need a lot of makeup. She had this natural glow. And those cheekbones!
"It was good. I really enjoy my grandparents company. Its nice to see them in person and talk to them face to face. Its weird to talk to them over the phone." Tori vented.
"Yeah, I wish my grandparents visited." Beck admitted.
"I'm sorry." Tori apologized.
"Don't be." Beck smiled at her.
The car turned into a different street and soon parked at an average sized home with an RV in the drive way.
Beck opened the door for Tori and placed his hand on the small part of her back, leading the way into his RV. Tori thanked him as they walked in.
