Summer Love (Hessa) - Part 1

Once I got in this plane, my summer started. My last summer before starting college on the other side of the country. Spending my summer with my father and his new family, sounds awful, but I'm already bored by my life in Seattle, so Los Angeles was a good idea for summer holiday.

My parents are divorce for ten years already and this is the third wife of my dad. Mom was first, but the things between them didn't work well when I was nine, so they decided to get a divorce. A year after their divorce, dad moved to Portland and he married a rich woman, but that didn't work too, so they divorced a few months later after marriage. Then, dad took a few years off and he traveled around the US until one year ago when he met Abby in LA. And today, I'm going to meet his new family. His wife and his half-daughter.

When they got married, I was in New York for my admission exam, so I couldn't be there for him. But he suggested to spend the summer with them and I couldn't say no to this. I want to see how his new wife is and how my half-sister is. Maybe we will get along well.

The plane landed 15 minutes ago and now, I'm going to collect my bags. As soon I get them, I walk to the exit where I found my dad.

"Look at my beautiful girl! You're really beautiful, honey!" He drags me in a tight hug.

"Thanks dad."

"Let's go home. Abby and Sara prepared your room and they are excited to meet you."

"Then let's go."

He takes my luggage and we walk to his car. I'm glad I packed a lot of thin clothes, dresses and shorts because the weather in LA in the summer is killing you. It's really hot and I can't wait to spend my days on the beach. After a 20 minutes ride, dad parks the car in the front of a nice house. It's not too small, but not too big either. It's just perfect. As he parks the car, I see two blondes standing in the entry way and I can say that they are his new family. We get out of his car and we walk to the entrance.

"Wow, Richard! You have a really beautiful girl."

"Thanks, honey. Girls, this is Tessa. My daughter. Tessa, these are Abby, my wife, and Sara, my half-daughter."

Sara: "Nice to meet you!" She drags me in a hug. Okay... As I know from movies and books, the half-sisters are rival, but my half-sister seems to like me.

Tessa: "Me too."

Abby: "Sara, please, help Tessa to take her stuff in her room."

Sara: "Yes, mum. C'mon, Tessa."

Sara takes my huge luggage and we walk up the stairs, until we arrive inhe front of a door. She opens it and we enter in a big room.

"So... This is the guest's bedroom. You have your own bathroom, a pretty big bed and closet. And..." She walks to the big door on the other side of the room. "A really nice view of the ocean."

"Thanks, Sara." I smile.

"My room is two doors away and if you need me, just come there, okay?"

"Yes."

"I will let you alone. But... Me and a few of my friends are going to the beach tonight. Wanna join us? If you are not tired after the flight."

"I will think about it."

"Good. I'm leaving around 8pm, I will come here to see if you're coming or not."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

She leaves and I take out my phone, so I can call my mother. I dial her number and she picks up after a few good minutes.
