Lara Narrando
When I wake up, I realize it’s already afternoon. I glance at my phone’s clock, just to confirm it; at least I woke up feeling energetic. I get up, grab some clothes, and head straight to the bathroom, where I do my morning hygiene, take a shower, and then go to the living room, where I find Vitoria sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Finally awake, sleeping beauty. It’s almost lunchtime" Vitoria says, and I sit down beside her on the sofa.
"It’s almost lunchtime, and the lovely one is drinking coffee?" I ask.
"It’s never too late for a cup of coffee" she replies with a smile.
I raise an eyebrow upon realizing that it’s still early for her to be at home.
"What are you doing at home at this hour?" I inquire.
"I called work and told them I had a terrible headache, and they let me stay home. Did you really think I wouldn’t say goodbye to you?" she feigns offense, and I hug her.
"Thank you, friend" the doorbell rings, and Vitoria shouts that the door is open as Bryan enters.
"Why didn’t you tell me you’d be home today because you’re unwell? I came to take care of you" he says, sitting on the sofa on the other side of Vitoria, making her sit between us.
"Because I’m not unwell, I just stayed home today to say goodbye to Lara, who’s going back to Brazil today" she explains and puts on a sad face for me.
"You know I can fire you for that, right?" he asks her.
"You’ll fire me?" she replies, staring at him.
"I’ll let this one slide!" he responds.
She winks at him, and he smiles back.
"You’re going back to Brazil for what?" Bryan asks me.
"A long story that Vitoria will tell you later" I reply "How is Enzo doing?" I ask.
"He’s fine, I think. He moved back to his apartment, and now I only see him at the office. He hasn’t been going out much; he must have gotten his act together after you left him" he answers, shrugging.
We continue chatting about various topics, and I receive a message from my dad saying he’s coming to get me. I quickly pack my bags with the help of Bryan and Vitoria. When my dad arrives, I say goodbye to my friends, but they insist on walking me to the car. My dad puts the bags in the trunk while I bid farewell to Bryan and Vitoria.
"I’m going to miss you; message me every day" Vitoria says, almost in tears.
"I promise, I’ll tell you everything that happens there" I tell her, then turn to Bryan "You take care of my friend" I say, and he gives me a hug.
"You don’t even have to say it; take care in Brazil, Lara. Come back to visit us" he says, releasing me.
"Bye, guys" I say.
We say our goodbyes, and I get in my dad’s car, sighing as I look at them through the window. I fasten my seatbelt, and we drive away.
"Goodbyes are horrible" my dad comments upon noticing I’m sad.
"They are" I reply, still gazing out the window.
When we arrive at the airport, we board a small jet with the name 'CLIFFORD' printed on it. We get to know each other during the flight, sitting close together and chatting for almost the entire trip.
Hours later, we arrive in Brazil, and it’s already afternoon. We stay at the Angra dos Reis airport before heading to their home. When we arrive at the house, Gael takes me to a huge room with a closet, a bathroom, and a beautiful balcony.
"Make yourself at home; this is your room. Take a shower, try to rest. I’ll go find the girls so they can meet you" he says.
"Okay" I agree, and he leaves the room.
I look around the room to get familiar with it, head to the closet filled with clothes, shoes, and jewelry, and check everything out. Then I go to the bathroom and take a long, relaxing shower. After my shower, Gael appears in the room and calls me to meet the family.
Elena is the eighteen-year-old; she is very beautiful, with long, curly hair, brown skin, and hazel eyes mixed with amber. She’s of medium height, about 1.70 meters tall.
Agatha is seventeen years old and very beautiful as well. She is short, probably about 5'3". Her hair is short, shoulder-length, wavy, light brown at the roots and with very light blue and purple tips. She has fair skin and her eyes are green.
Amanda is the name of my mother; she is quite beautiful. I look a bit like her, but not too much. She is the same height as I am, her hair is straight, and her skin is lighter than mine.
My father is very tall, standing about 6'1", dark-skinned, and quite handsome. He has a muscular build, but not overly so, I'd say he is average.
Jose is my mother's father, my grandfather. He is a very sweet old man, walking with the help of someone beside him.
When I come down the stairs, my grandfather immediately comes walking toward me with a bit of difficulty. He approaches slowly and runs his hands over my face, looking at me as if he were analyzing me in detail.
"You are identical to your grandmother; it's incredible. You are as beautiful as she was. You can call me grandpa" he says before turning back to the sofa.
Agatha walks up to me and gives me a strong hug.
"I was eager to meet you" she says with a smile and steps back.
"I was too" I reply with a smile.
Elena approaches as soon as Agatha steps back; she hugs me tightly.
"It's going to be so nice to have you here; I can't wait to get to know you better" she says excitedly.
"Me too."
We sit on the sofa, and the girls start asking a variety of questions about my childhood, how I found out I was the daughter of my parents, and many other things.
