Arriving at the airport, we waited for the flight from Chicago. I turned on the phone and my heart skipped a beat when I read a message.

"Aren't we supposed to meet today?"

Yeah, finally we could spend some time together but, because of my dear sister, I can't go out for two days.

"Unfortunately I was put in detention, I can't go out."

"Sin! I had something ... 'special' in mind. "

My eyes sparkled with emotion. Something special? What did he have in mind? My line of thought was interrupted by a voice calling me.

"Selene! Hi Marika! "

Ginevra immediately embraced us in a warm embrace. I meet again happy to see her. When we were little we spent most of our time together then, unfortunately, my uncle had to move to Chicago for work and I hadn't seen her since I was ten.

"Hi uncle, hi aunt."

"How are you dear? Everything good?"

"Yes aunt, dad said to tell you they will arrive in three weeks, as soon as they have finished arranging all the papers."

"Oh dear don't worry, we still have your old room."

"Yes ... about this ..."

His words were interrupted by the arrival of a tall and slender boy, with a beautiful smile that lit up his face. She looked really charming with those hazel eyes and her pointed cheekbones.

"Hi, I'm Richard, a friend from Geneva, my parents have to come here to manage a branch of their company and Ginevra told me you could host me but if you can't ..."

"Absolutely. No problem, you will stay in Ginevra's room and she will sleep with Selene. "
Ginevra winked at me and I returned with a smile. I liked the idea of ​​sleeping with her, it made me think back to when we went on vacation and spent the night awake to tell each other scary stories or pillow fights. In the meantime, my mother suggested that we go to a restaurant for something to eat and everyone accepted with enthusiasm.
After touring the whole city looking for a decent one, we chose the best one. When we entered we were greeted by a young woman with a high ponytail and hands behind her back, welcoming with a smile and making a deafening noise in her heels.

"Good morning! Welcome to the Magnifico. "

"Hello, we would like a table for 6, thank you."

"Sure, please, follow me."

She led us into a large room with red walls and huge plants next to the tables, in the centre of the table there was a vase with fragrant flowers. He brought us the menus and we began to leaf through it. I had a knot in my stomach, I was not hungry, I felt very strange. I didn't feel like eating, I just wanted to get home as soon as possible.

"Have you chosen guys?"

My father asked, resting his chin on his hands.

"Yes we chose uncle. I'm very hungry. "

"I believe it after all those hours of flying. Did you eat something on the plane? "

"A few snacks but nothing special."

"Was it a good trip?"

"Yes, a bit tiring maybe madam."

"Oh don't call me lady, call me Alessia."

"Thanks so much."

"You, Richard, what school do you attend?"

Obviously my sister Marika immediately went on the attack, she certainly saw him as a new prey to conquer.

" I'm at the fourth year but I should make the fifth, unfortunately last year I went badly..."

"Oh ... I'm not on good terms with the school either ..."

I had to watch my sister's ridiculous attempts at seduction all the time, drawing circles with my fork on the empty plate. Ginevra looked at me worried even if she didn't say anything, she gently touched my arm. When the courses arrived I barely touched the food, staring at the slut with no lost eyes.

"Hey Selene, are you okay?"

"Yup..."

"Come on, I know you too well, there is something troubling you."

"I have to tell you things ..."

"Okay at home you tell me everything huh?"

I nodded disconsolately. I was sad because for the first time I could see Ares and he wanted too. Tears were about to fall but I tried hard to treat them. Guinevere looked at me all the time with a troubled face. I felt watched by the new boy my cousin had brought. He looked at me with a smile on his face as he stared at me out of the corner of his eye. After lunch we got into the car and went to our building. We helped Richard and Ginevra carry their suitcases into the house. Our apartment was certainly not huge but it was very spacious and comfortable for two adults and four teenagers. I locked myself in my room, throwing myself on the bed and reading the latest message from Ares 'I had something special in mind'. I sighed disconsolately, certainly that evening I could not have found out.
The door opened slowly and a frail figure appeared in the doorway.

"Do you want to tell me what happened to you?"

"Today I was supposed to go out with a boy but mom put me in detention and I can't go out."

"No wait, a boy? Are you going out with a boy? "

"Yup..."

"Oh my god, congratulations!"

He held me tight, happy with the news.

"Look, I don't care, you're going to go out with him."

"How?"

"Simple! Get out the window, it's not high. "

He said, leaning over the sill.

"That's how I got into trouble."

"This time it's me. I cover you with aunt. Forward! Get ready!"

I picked up the phone and wrote to Ares immediately.

"There are."

"Where do we meet?"

"At the beach, see you there in an hour."

I received no response but I opened the wardrobe and chose the most beautiful dress I owned.

"Come on, I'll do your hair and then you'll tell me everything. Ok? "

"Yup."

I rolled my eyes as she tamed my curly hair into a bun, leaving two curls falling down my face.

"How am I?"

"You're perfect. Absolutely perfect. "

She looked at me satisfied, clapping her hands happily.

"Oh it's late go, otherwise he'll get angry, you know what men are like, don't you?"

I gave her a kiss on the forehead and climbed out of the window.

Arrived at the meeting place I set off where I knew I would see him, my body shaken by a thousand electric shocks.
