The Private Academy: Lumity story

28. Ew- rain... welcome spring I suppose

" you look adorable herm-"
"Rose please it fits this form better mami"

My heart melts gently

" you look really cute rose.. those freckles make me wonder where they came from.. hmm.. mrs. Luz over there seems the perfect candidate"

Looking at luz she smile and says giggling,

"I never liked my freckles but I can't get rid of them they're everywhere, like I'd be more comfortable with just a few not ten bajillion"

Sticking out her tongue playfully she chuckles lovingly at me, lifting rose out of my lap her legs wrap around luzes middle. Slipping out of the car I close the opened car doors and head inside with luz, sitting in an open booth facing a patch of woods Luz slides rose into the seat next to me. Trying to flatten her wild hair for a moment she starts using her sleeves to have a silent conversation with her two hands, luz chuckles slightly as I look at her.

"I used to do that too mi hija when I was younger... glad it passes on"

Looking up at the waitress putting menus in front of us she says kindly

"Good afternoon ladies I'm joyce, anything I can get for you three girls?"

"Iced tea unsweetened please"

Looking at luz pretty much still wondering how on EARTH I like unsweetened drinks she replies

"Coke"

Pulling on my sleeve I look down at rose, pulling me down to whisper in my ear I say for her since she's pretty shy

"And a lemonade too please"

Joyce chuckles gently her eyes smiling at the shy mess pressing into me

"Lovely little girl you have miss.. how old is she"

Rose picks up the courage to say it herself

"Almost five! Mi mami is SUPER TALL so I'm younger than I look"

Laughing gently at her I look at luz who absolutely adores rose at this point, joyce smiles gently and pulls a tiny coloring book out of the clipboard and a small package of six crayons I know rose will get bummed at.

"Here you go darling have a little bit of fun, I'll be right back with your drinks"

Back in her shy mood she nods and hands me the package to open

"It's too difficult mama.."

Flipping over the tiny package when I see the tape I open it for her, immediately taking out the green one she gets irritated that the color isn't sticking well, but is soon getting over it. Pulling out the pink when she asks me to join, I shade the bottoms of the clouds pink and many other pink required things. Tapping the paper in front of me I look over at the menu as does rose, she mouths quietly 'burgers?' And smiles when we both nod. Walking up to our table joyce sets our drinks in front of us,

"Anything else I can get you?

Smiling kindly to her luz replies as me and rose continue to doodle on,
