    School was absolutely dreadful today, it was very boring, if not for the fact that Carolina was in all my classes I would be dead by now. Anyway,I got home, my brother was already there.

  I went into the kitchen to say hi to my mom before going up to my room.
"Holà Mama," I greeted swiftly placing a kiss to her cheek. She smiled.
  "Hi sweetie, how was school today?" She asked while chopping some onions. I shrugged her way before asking...
  "What are you making?" peering over her shoulder.
  "I'm making your dad's favorite otherwise yours too." She laughed.
  "Haha, very funny, where is Papa isn't he back yet?" I said sipping on the glass of whatever beside her.
"Si, Mija he's in the study" she smiled. God she's still in love with him, just her smile says it all but I wouldn't blame her my Papa's pretty good looking.
  "Okay, I'm gonna go say hi to him." I said as walked to my dad's study.
  I knocked on the door a couple of times and when I didn't get a reply I opened it and walked in. I found my dad sitting at his desk and facing down  at his work .

"Holà Papa how are you?", I sent round his desk to hug him.
  "I'm fine sweetheart, how was school?, it was your first day back, right?" He said softly running his fingers over my hand and placing a chaste kiss to my hair.
  "It was okay Papa and it was my first day". I walked back to sit on the white next to his desk and just stared at him until...
 
   "Mija, where's your brother?"

  "In his room, I think."

"Oh ,I didn't hear him come in,would you please go tell to come for a bit." He asked.

  "Sure" and with that I left his office and went upstairs to call him before I went up to my room.

  I went into my closet, took off my uniform and wiped off my make up then changed into a dark blue crop top and high waisted ripped baggy jeans but they weren't exactly baggy because of how big my butt is.
  I plopped down on my bed, I don't really the energy to go describing my room right now, all is that its painted with pastel colours and has king sized bed with purple covers, a floor length mirror next to the door and dresser with another mirror on it.

I took out my phone, deciding to go through for a while before dinner came around.

   I eventually got bored of the damn thing and decided to go out for a stroll.

   I ran downstairs to the kitchen to tell mum I was going out. "Hey Ma, I'm gonna out for a bit, okay?"

   "Sure sweetie, but be back before six, si?", She turned around and smiled at me.

    "Gracias,Mama", I muttered walking out the front door. I walked down the driveway and turned left towards a little coffee shop down the street which I was very familiar to me.
  I walked in and almost immediately Miss Valenti ran up to me and engulfed me in a massive bear hug causing me to yelp.
  "Oh Hi Miss Valenti, Como estas¿"I asked her.
  "Muy bien!," she answered.
  She led me over to a table in left corner of the shop. I took a sit and looked up the menu.
  "What would you like to have?," she asked.

  "Oh you know the usual."

  She went away to bring out my order which was decaffeinated latte with two sugars. Miss Valenti came out soon after with my order.
  "Gracias," I muttered.

  "It's nothing sweets." Then she waddled off.

   I was sipping on my coffee when the door chimed signaling that somebody entered the shop and by instinct my head jerked up to see who walked in...
   
   And just when my blue eyes saw who walked in my heart literally stopped and started palpitating.

  Mauricio just walked in and he was speaking to Miss Valenti, in Spanish.

  Miss Valenti was saying some stuff back to him smiling and he smiled, then she smiled back and pointed over to the side of the shop I was sat at. He turned around and his eyes landed on me, we kept eye contact for approximately three seconds before I looked back down at my coffee.
   I heard him murmur his order and then he left the counter and walked over to my side. 
    He was coming to my table.

   Wait what!?, why is he coming over here?, he's supposed to find another sit. God, I'm not ready for this, I don't want him to sit in front of me ,uurrggh, who am I kidding, of course I want him to sit here, I love him.

  I heard the chair screech across the tiled floors, I looked up and sure enough he was sitting in front of me and looking at me expecting me to say something. I saw his mouth move but I couldn't register anything he was saying, I was to busy watching his precious pink lips move.

  I snapped out my daze and looked up at his hazel eyes"Hm?," I asked.
  "I said, Hi" he said, sweet baby Jesus his voice is amazing.
   "Oh. Hi!." I said a little to enthusiascticaly.
   "Yeah, I've seen around before, do you go to Prescott?." He asked with a little smile.
  Ouch, I thought maybe he'd recognise me, at least as Mario's sister.
  "Yeah, I do go there."
  "Oh ok, what's your name?, if you don't mind my asking."
   He wants to know my name, play it cool Miranda, play it cool its just your name. Say it.
   "Um..., it's...it's, Miranda, Miranda Calderon." I stuttered out.
   He looked me in the eyes as if studying me, his eyes along my face, down to my chin and back to my eyes.
  "Ok, is Mario by chance your brother?."
    "Yes, my twin brother." I took a sip from my coffee.
  He was about to say something when one of the shop's waiters came to give Mauricio his order then he left leaving us alone again.
    "So I'm guessing you don't know my name yet," he smirked.
   Oh but I do, I know everything about you. Sorry, that sounded creepy.

   I simply nodded at his statement.

  "Fine then, I'm Mauricio Lopez."
  "Oh". I said and he chuckled. It sounded amazing.
    "Hermosa" he whispered but I heard and I think I wasn't supposed to hear it.
  He called me beautiful!! Oh my Dio!!.
   I glanced out the window out and saw it was getting dark already and we were dinner soon. I hurriedly stood up from my sit.
  "Where are you going?" He asked standing up also.
   "Oh. I have to get home".
  "Alright then, bye Miranda." He grabbed my hand and brought it up to his lips placing a light kiss on it.

  His lips are a godsend.

  "Bye Mauricio." I retracted my hand and left.
  I'm never washing this hand ever again.
