After the talk with my dad I actually feel like everything is going to be alright. I'm so glad that we're on speaking terms again. I'm going to enjoy the little time I have left with my family. I'm in the mood to celebrate and I know just the perfect thing. I reach for the ice cream box, a bowl, and strawberries. As I chop the strawberries I can't stop myself from singing. I haven't sang in a long time it's not like I can sing but I enjoy it. "Wow what's going on here?" Sam walks in. "Eating ice cream do you want some?" I reach for another bowl knowing her answer already. "Okay so either the talk with tio went really good or it went really bad" she says. How does she know I was talking to my father is beyond me. I swear even tho this house is huge news travels fast. "It went really good" I smile. She claps her hands together "Finally we can go back to normal".
I feel sick to my stomach. I still haven't told her the news. I thought the hardest part was telling my father but I was wrong. "How about we go outside on the patio and have a little girl talk" I say. "Okay lets go" she snatch her bowl out of my hands.
"So how are things with Raul?" I ask as we take our seats. I love sitting outside the view is just beautiful. The sky is always light blue it resembles the ocean and the patio is full of different flowers and roses. It makes me feel calm and peaceful. Dubai really is a beautiful place. "We're doing fine" she shrugs it off. I know there is something wrong just by the way she answer. "What's wrong?". She looks down to her bowl as she plays with her ice cream "How do you know when you are in love with some one?". Just the fact that she is asking me that question let's me know that she isn't in love with him. "Well when you're in love he is the first and last person you think of every day, every time he is around you get these butterflies in your stomach that makes you feel sick but the good way not the bad way if that makes sense, your heart beats so fast that you're afraid that it will pop out of your chest, and most importantly there is no doubt in your mind that you're in love".
Well that's what Gabe makes me feel anyways. My heart and body is aching for him. I want to see him but I want to spend as much time as I can with my family before I leave. "Well I guess I'm not in love with Raul but I want to be" she says sadly. I'm so glad she isn't in love with him but I hate seeing her so sad. I reach for her hand to give her comfort "Sam you can't force love if it's not there than it's not meant to be". She nods understanding what I am telling her "But he has been so good to me I feel bad for not loving him". I'm starting to think that the only reason why Sam wants to love him is to pay him back for being there for her when she needed some one. The only reason why he has been this good to her is because he knows if he fucks this up my uncle will have his balls, literally. She needs to get away from him maybe I should take her with me. "I have something to tell you," I squeeze her hand for her to look at me "I'm going back to New York in a week and I want you to come with me" I rush it out before she can interrupt me. She pulls her hand away from mines "You're fucking leaving me again?" she ask pissed off. I try reaching for her hand again but she slaps my hand away "I want you to come with me we can start-"
