Summer 6
Love story
In Emma's house, Emma sat at the kitchen table and fell silent while watching her mother cook dinner.
"Is Vanessa still upstairs", she asked her mom after a long silence.
"Yes. Why are you so quiet", Mrs. Summer asked while giving her a glass of cold water.
"Mum, I have a question for you. Did you like dad before dad said that he likes you", she asked Mrs. Summer. Mrs. Mendez just smiled.
"Yes", Mrs. Summer said as she sat across Emma in the kitchen table.
"What did you feel when you've realized that you liked dad", Emma asked.
"I feel happy when I'm with him, I smile uncontrollably when he smiles at me and I can't take his face out of my mind when I am going to sleep", she said.
"Does my daughter felt the same way to a guy", Mrs. Summer asked but Emma didn't answer.
"Is it Daniel", Mrs. Summer asked again.
"What?! No, no. He's just my friend", Emma said half-laughing. "Besides, he only arrived this morning", she added.
"Oh, she still denies it."
Vanessa appeared from the stairs grinning. She dragged a chair beside Emma and sat on it.
"What do you mean she still denies it", Mrs. Summer asked.
"I think Emma - ", Vanessa stopped as Emma kicked Vanessa foot under the table.
"Ow", Vanessa whispered loudly as she massages it under the table.
"Uh, mum, could I talk to Vanessa alone", Emma asked eyeing Vanessa angrily. Vanessa caught Emma's eyes and smiled uncomfortably. Mrs. Summer nodded and Emma and Vanessa went outside.
"What made you say that", Emma asked after slamming the front door shut.
"What? I'm just joking", Vanessa said half-laughing.
"Well, that wasn't a good joke", Emma said loudly. She put her arms crossed at her chest.
"Never again say that to my mother or someone", Emma said after seeing Vanessa's guilty stare.
"Okay", Vanessa said. She opened the door and went inside before Emma. Emma followed and headed to the dining table where Mrs. Summer was preparing the food.
"Is there a problem between you two? You seem to be going a serious fight", Mrs. Summer asked.
"No, no, Mrs. Summer. Emma just told me something", Vanessa said half-laughing.
"Okay, then. Will you two help me prepare dinner? Your father will be here any minute now", Mrs. Summer asked as she handed Emma the plates and Vanessa the glasses. As they ended up putting the plates and glasses in the perfect place, Mr. Summer arrived. He kissed his wife in the cheeks and after that, Emma and Vanessa kissed him in the opposite cheeks at the same time.
"Mmmm, that looks delicious" Mr. Summer said and sat at the chair. Mrs. Summer, Emma and Vanessa sat around the table after Mr. Summer and the four of them start eating.
"Mrs. Summer, sorry to say this again but I really love your cooking", Vanessa said after a few moments. Mrs. Summer smiled.
"Did you already pack your things", Mr. Summer asked Emma and Vanessa.
"Yes dad", Emma said while Vanessa only nodded because her mouth was full.
Emma and Vanessa finished first so they put the empty plates and glasses at the sink and went to Emma's room upstairs.
'Where did you go after throwing the garbage? You're gone for too long", Vanessa asked. She lay down at her bed and faced Emma who was sitting at her bed holding her cell phone.
"Are you going to call or text someone or are you waiting for someone to call you or text you", Vanessa asked suspiciously.
"No. I'm just holding it", Emma said.
"You didn't answer me yet. Where did you go after throwing the garbage", Vanessa asked again.
"I spotted Dan throwing garbage. He said he's going for a walk and asked if I could walk with him. I thought that it's been a long time since I walk with him so maybe I could", Emma said still holding her phone as if she was waiting for someone to call and to discuss an important matter with her.
"Then what happened", Vanessa asked.
"So we walked and met Christine and Hadey and - and Sabrina along the way -", Emma said then sighed. "-- and still Sabrina shot me an angry look with her chinky little eyes", Emma said.
"I really hate that girl! Why can she be like her cousins, Christine and Hadey? Ugh", Vanessa said annoyingly as she sat up.
"You didn't mean that", Emma asked.
"Yes! I mean that! She even insulted me in front of Rico saying that I'm a friend of a man-stealing girl and that means you", Vanessa said angrily.
"She said that? Oh, how ridiculous! I don't know what to do with her to stop messing around. Every time she saw me with Dan, she always started to act that I'm stealing his boyfriend", Emma said with great temper.
"I hope she doesn't screw up our friendship with Christine, Hadey, Nicole, Matt, Rico and Dan", Emma hoped.
The conversation about Sabrina ended and starts another conversation about Nicole and their other friends.
"I'm guessing that Nicole's summer party will be a lot of fun like her last summer party", Vanessa said excitedly.
"And Rico's coming", Emma said imitating her tone and action.
"Is there something wrong about that", Vanessa asked dreamily.
"He's not - well - he's not that handsome and besides Matt is more handsome than him", Emma said.
"I don't like to steal Nicole's crush. Nicole might stop talking to me", Vanessa said.
"Then perhaps you find another guy who is more handsome than him", Emma said remembering Daniel's face.
"Like Daniel", Vanessa said imitating her tone.
"I didn't say that I meant Dan", Emma said loudly.
"Is Vanessa still upstairs", she asked her mom after a long silence.
"Yes. Why are you so quiet", Mrs. Summer asked while giving her a glass of cold water.
