"So, are you going to be going to school with us? It will be really cool if you did, you could meet all my friends. They will love you!"
Sarah being herself was babbling ever since she came and woke me up from my beautiful sleep. At first I freaked out, no one ever enters my room and I wake myself up but then when I noticed it was Sarah I wasn't really surprised. I was about to go back to sleep when she snatched my blanket away and refused to let me get back to sleep saying that she planned the whole day for us.
"I'm not sure about school right now, I might take a year off until some things are cleared. Anyway, where are we going I need to know what to wear."
"Its a surprise, I'll just pick out something for you." Sarah said with a wink. She pushed me away from the closet and started going through my clothes, by the time she has decided on what was suitable for me to wear most of my clothes were scattered all over the room.
"This outfit is HOT! You'll be attracting many guys believe me!"
She placed the clothes on the bed, there was a beige tank top and under it a patterned green mini skirt that I didn't even know I had then she tossed the beige miu miu bag I've begged my dad to get me on my fifteenth birthday.
"Umm, Sarah... isn't that skirt a bit too short, I mean I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it and if we stay out late it might get cold so I think I'll just chose another outfit."
She gasped was so loud its as if I've spilled a bucket of ice onto her . "Non-sense you are going to wear this and I bought you this skirt last week when we went shopping don't you remember?"
After an hour I was standing in front of the mirror wearing the outfit Sarah chose, I tried arguing with her then convincing her that its not a good idea to wear this but she wouldn't take no for an answer. She said I'll either have to wear it willingly or she by force. I didn't even want to know what she meant by force so I picked the first option.
"Okayyyy, time for makeup!" She squealed!
Oh God I must seriously like this girl or else I wouldn't even spend a minute with her non stop talking self! I thought to myself.
"I'll do my own makeup thank you very much," I said before she even had the time to suggest otherwise.
I never really was a girl that put on make up, actually I never put makeup unless on celebrations so my makeup was pretty simple. I had a light shade of eye shadow on and eye lined the top of my eye. I then put on some blush and finished with a light pink colored lipstick.
"You look beautiful! I'm jealous." Sarah said then pouted.
"I'm sorry to say this to you Sarah but you are practically one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen and you shouldn't be jealous!"
Sarah was wearing high waist pastel pink shorts and a white top with a floral kimono that matched my skirt. Her hair was tied up into a high bun and her eye make up was gorgeous. I seriously don't get what she's jealous of!
We ended up going to this café for breakfast then Sarah dragged me to her secret hide out. It was beautiful to say the least, it was a cave on the mountain which had the view of the beach and the whole town. I was mesmerized. We spent all our after noon talking and talking telling each other stories about our childhood, it was really fun. I learned she had a brother who was the definition of the bad boy and was never nice to anyone but was overprotective of her in a discreet kinda way and that her dad owned part of Adam's apples and that they were neighbors with the other owner of Adam's apples, John Adams.
We stayed till sunset until we decided we should probably head back to the motel before dinner. When we got there, there was a really expensive looking car parked with a driver sitting inside. Weird. I thought I would go tell Mr. Green that we're back then help Mrs. Green with dinner.
I noticed that the door to the office was closed which is weird cause its always wide opened, I was about to turn away when I heard my name. I was going to open the door thinking Mr. Green knew I came back and was calling me to come in but then I heard someone else's voice and I realized the other man in there was having a conversation with Mr. Green. About me.
I've been told many times when I was younger that eavesdropping isn't good manners, but I just couldn't help it, I had to know why they were talking about me!
"She's only sixteen, still a kid, her brother left her here alone." Mr. Green said. Who on earth is he talking to?!
"Yes, I've heard Sarah talk to her mother about her, listen Richard maybe I can help out, summer will be over soon and she'll have to go to school I know you won't be able to give her a good education."
He knows Sarah! who is he?
I guess I didn't just think that but I said it out loud because the next second the door was opened and an old man maybe in his mid fifties was standing in front of me.
"You must be Rose, I've heard so much about you and just had to come see you myself!" He said sticking out his hand for me to shake.
I politely shook his hand but I still didn't know who he was, "I don't mean to be rude or anything but who are you and why were you talking about me?"
He chuckled and just said, "Oh I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself, I'm John Adams."
John Adams, I've heard that name before...
"Uncle John! What are you doing here? I thought you were having dinner at my place today." Sarah said while giving John a hug.
"Well after you told us about Sarah, I came to give her a preposition." He said smiling at me.
"What preposition?" I asked feeling a bit uneasy.
"Let me quickly get to the point then I'll explain everything if your answer is yes. I heard you're here in the country all alone with no family so I wanted to adopt you. I've always wanted a daughter but unfortunately I couldn't have one due to difficult circumstances."
I think he kept on talking I wouldn't know because I was stunned. I want to adopt you. The words were repeated again and gain in my mind. I never thought anyone would want me after Luca left me and to tell you the truth I was happy but I don't know anything about this guy what if he's some serial killer or a psychopath. I grabbed Sarah's hand and ran out of the room.
"Ohmygod! I can't believe he wants to adopt you! Yay! We'll be neighbors!"
"Sarah, I still didn't say yes what if he's a bad person or he keeps me for a few months then thinks I'm not the girl he wants and just throws me back to the streets, I cant sleep in the streets again its horrible." I could feel my eyes watering at the mention of sleeping in the streets I wouldn't ever want to experience that again.
"Babe don't worry, that's John Adams in there the most generous man in Canada he wouldn't ever throw you out, if he asked to adopt you its because he loved you from all the stuff I've been saying abut you so don't sweat it and get back in there and give him an answer!"
I went back to the room and realized that Mrs. Green has joined the two men, when she saw me she gave me a genuine big happy smile that told me not to worry about anything and if I must say, that smile was mostly the reason of the words that came out of my mouth the next second.
"Yes, you can adopt me."
