Snippets

Mauve and Silver (Part 1)

Everything went blank for Reyanna. She stared at her phone which showed her a picture of a baby picture of Rylen, her and Roman along with her parents, but no notifications. Reyanna took the remote and switched off the TV as her Abuela called her and her Abuelo again.

Her Abuelo gave her a worried look, but she shook her head and motioned for them to go and eat. The dinner was peaceful. Her Abuela told Reyanna and her Abuelo about what she posted on the blog today. They were talking and so was Reyanna. There was no difference in her attitude. The dinner was delicious as usual. Reyanna helped in cleaning the table after dinner and went to her room after biding her grandparents good night.

As soon as she closed the door of her room, Reyanna looked at her phone which showed nothing, but a message from her bank giving her a discount cashback. Reyanna threw her phone on her bed and went inside her washroom.

Is that why he didn't reply to her message? Was he proposing to someone? Of course, he would choose a royalty like him. They were like-minded people.

Suddenly a feeling of loneliness came over her. Reyanna felt like she didn't belong here anymore. She wanted to leave London and go back home. London was charming, but she wanted to go home, to her safe place.

Her phone's shrill tone broke her thoughts and Reyanna ran to her room and pounced on it only to see it was her Abuela Natasha.

"Hola, Abuela," Reyanna greeted her grandma in Spanish.

"Hola, mija! How are you?" She asked.

"I'm good. Just missing home," She told her honestly.

"Aww. We miss you too!" She heard some commotion in the background.

"We? Are you with Daddy and Mama?" She asked.

"Yes! Even Rylen and Roman are here!" She told her.

"Ugghh! I want to be there too!" Reyanna whined. Now she wanted to go home even more.

"I know, I know. Come online. We can webchat," Natasha suggested.

"Give me a second," She said and called her Abuela via her tablet.

Suddenly her Abuela, parents, and siblings appeared on the screen of her tablet. With them was a surprise. Manolo Juan.

"Hey, guys!" Reyanna grinned seeing her family. God, she missed them. The screen seemed so small. She wanted to be there, in her Mama's lap, her Daddy's protective embrace, fighting with her siblings.

"Hey there, princess!" Her Daddy waved.

"You look so pale, sweety!" Her Mama looked worried.

"It's the cold, Mama. I'll be fine as soon as I return," She assured her mother.

"You look fat!" Roman added.

"Piss off, Rom," Reyanna rolled her eyes, but she was grinning.

"Ooh looks like someone learned new words," Rylen commented.

"Whatever Ry! Hey, Manny!" She greeted him using the name she called him by when they were together.

"Hi, Reya! How are you?" He asked. He still looked the same since she saw him a year ago.

"I'm good now I have talked to you all!" She told them excitedly.

"How is everything there?" Manolo asked.

"It's brilliant! Do you know they are expanding the London Library! It was huge enough, but they are renovating it. And the London eye is so much prettier than I last remember! The wedding preparations are going smoothly as well," She told him.
