Aella POV
Here we go again traveling from New York to California I'm not on a field trip or something. We are here to attend our family's reunion. This happens every two years where our relatives from different sides of United States, and world will go at our Grandparents' house to celebrate this event. It’s a one day celebration but we're going to be there for one week. All of my relatives residing in New York including us had the same flight, and now we're in a van. Actually, we're using three long vans to accommodate every one of us. My relatives, and I don't usually see each other because they're living on a different planet, they're like a different species, we're human, and they are.....vampires. Ha! Ha! Ha! Oops! It's not a vampire story; I just wanted to make fun of myself. So back to reality, as I was saying, we only see each other every two years.
Oh by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Melody Aella Moore, 27 years old, and I'm working as one of the Managers of the Golden Luxury. Oh it's not a jewelry store or something. It's a club for people with deep pockets. Yeah, those kind of people--- the rich, and famous
I've seen, and assisted Paris Hilton, the Jenner sisters, Selena Gomez, and others. They're very Professionals when they're talking to me. Of course
I was deep in my thought when I exclaimed because my mother talked, and offered me hotdogs. I smiled, and get it. "Thanks!" I said.
I am excited to see my grandparents from my mother's side, and the pool, and the garden. It’s very refreshing. It’s like I'm in another world when I’m there.
But at the same, this event makes me nervous, and anxious every time.
"We're here!!!” shouted my niece, Christina. She's now a teenager, and an honor student. She's been offered as a scholar at New York's University, and with allowance per month. Meaning, we won't be paying for anything when she entered college next year.
"Yeah…" I said as the Van entered my Grandparents' premises. It’s actually a big house, and enough for us but since it’s a reunion, some of us need to sleep at the living room because that's how big our family is. The rooms upstairs are only for our parents, and guests. Why we didn't rent a room in a hotel? That's because our Grandparents don't want us to do that.
Since it’s California, my niece, and I brought out our sun glasses that we bought yesterday. She gave me a high five.
"Let's go, Aunt Aella." She said, as she jumps out of the Van, and ran like a little child inside shouting, we're here!!! I shakes my head.
When we entered the house, it looks modern, and refreshing because at the back of the house is where you can see a beach. Yes, a beach. My Grandparents are rich. Here, we have our own pool; it has a rectangular sized pool, and a small round pool beside it for the children who would want to swim.
"There you are!" I heard my Grandmother say. I approach her, and gave her a warm hug. "You look beautiful in that dress of yours." She said.
"Thank you GM." I replied to her, and yes I call her GM. Why? Because we don't feel like calling her Felicidad or grandmother because that is too long so my cousins, and I came up with a solution, and that's why we call her that.
"My friends’ children heard Nancy called me GM when we were having some groceries, and they asked if that Gm means group message." She said, laughing.
"What did you told them”? I ask her as we walk towards the resting area at the corner, beside her garden.
"I told them that it’s good mother." She replied, giving me smile.
The table in the resting area has fruit’s, and other sea foods like crabs, shrimp, fish, and others. My parents are sitting, and admiring the view, and eating. They're very sweet.
"Oh? Where's GF”? I ask my parents.
"He's at the airport." They replied, and I nodded.
"Aunt Aella?!!!" Christina shouted, and I turn around to where my talkative niece is.
She changed her clothes to a swimwear.
"Let's go swim." She said as she ran towards me, and pulling me to get up.
"Fine fine fine" I said as I saw my parents, and GM, smiling.
