"Oh my Goshhhhhh!!!!" I said jumping up and down, in front of everybody.
"Ella please calm down." my mom laughed looking at me.
"Okay okay I'm sorry." I said and stopped jumping.
We arrived, finally we are here, we were waiting for our luggages, and I was so happy just knowing that we are here in London makes me so happy, I can't wait to get out and feel the cold air of London, see the lights everywhere, seeing the people, it's stupid but people here are really different from France.
All I do is talking about London but don't worry now that I'm here I won't be talking about it that much.
"I think we got all our luggages, Ella you got your 3 luggages?" my dad asked.
"hmm yes I got them all." I said smiling, excited to finally go out of this airport.
"Okay then we are good to go to the hotel so we can freshen up and get ready for the restaurant." my mom said.
We went out of the airport and as I said previously even if we're only the 5th September I can feel the cold air and it's like I'm living again. We took a cab and went to the hotel, we entered the suite and it's just amazing and enormous.
"Ella darling, your room is the one over here, and there's a surprise in there." my mom smiled cheekily.
"A surprise eh?" I asked opening the door.
I enter and see nothing, by the way the room is huge and amazing I can see the London eye from my window when suddenly,
"BOOOO!" someone screamed behind me, and I couldn't help but scream at the top of my lungs until I turned to see who it was, and my mom was right, it was a real surprise.
"Oh. My. God. Amalia." I said shocked and gave her a big hug.
"Hey Bella Ella." she said hugging me too.
Little note, Amalia Jones (Amal) and I have been best friends since forever, we know each other since we were born, when I moved to France we kept in touch, she always came to France on holidays, we always made everything to never forget each other we were like sisters, we are both only child, so we were the sisters we didn't have. Amalia doesn't have parents, I mean she does but they passed away when she was young and she was given to her grandma who passed last year so now she's alone. I know I said I didn't have any friends but I did say I didn't have friends in France, she's the best and I've missed her so much, this couldn't get any better.
"Oh my gosh I can't believe I'm back here and I'm with you this couldn't get any better, I've missed you so much how are you?" I asked her not letting go of her hand and going to sit on the bed.
"I can't believe it either this is amazayn like for real." she said wiggling her eyebrows at me.
"Oh gosh I haven't heard 'amazayn' in ages." I laughed.
"I know right? and well I'm fine, not married to prince Harry yet but I'm fine." she teased.
"Oh darling don't worry he'll ask you the day he'll meet you." I laughed.
"And you how you've been Bella Ella?" that's the nickname she gave me since we know each other.
"Well I'm fine all I have been able to talk and think about is London and now that I'm here and I'm with you I feel complete for real, and ohhhhh you'll never guess." I said wiggling my eyebrows.
"Tell me." she said looking at me with her big green eyes.
"I've been accepted to the University of Cambridge." I said super happy.
"Oh my god no way!!!!" she got up.
"Yes way." I said getting up too.
"Oh my god and guess what?" she said looking at me with a smirk.
"Tell me?" I looked at her.
"Well I might have been accepted in the same university as you." she said screaming the last part.
"NO WAY I'M SO HAPPY." I said hugging her and both making a happy dance.
"YES WAYYYY, GO GIRL, GO GIRL!" she said as we kept dancing.
"I see Ella that you've now got the good news?" she said smiling.
"You knew!" I said not dancing anymore but with a smile on my face.
"Yes I knew, and I'm happy to tell you that not only you're going to share the same University, but you're also going to share the same penthouse." she said to us handing another key to the penthouse to Amalia.
"Oh my lord," I said completely shocked.
"Best friends, sisters, roommates, can this keep getting better?" Amalia said as we look at each others.
"Nahhh I don't think so." we said at the same time.
"Mom? can Amalia come eat with us?" I asked.
"Course darling I already called the restaurant saying we would be 4." she smiled.
"Thanks mom, you're the best." I stated kissing her cheek.
"Now if you girls will please come to the living room we still got a surprise....or two."
We look at each other, and start running to the living room. My dad looks at us and go greet Amalia.
"Oh dear Amalia it's so good to see you and have you back with us." he said.
"It's so good to see you too, thanks for having me." she said smiling shyly.
"Now girls, as you know this family is a family of 3 but Amalia we always considered you as one of ours, and one of mine and Louise's daughter, so we wanted to say again that we are really sorry for the loss of your grandma and we would like to know if you'd like to be an official member of this family." my dad said.
We both looked at each other not really understanding.
"I think we are a bit confused dad, what do you mean by 'official member of the family'?" I asked confused.
"Well.." he started, taking my mother's hand, which she responded with a big smile,
"Amalia, would you like to be part of this family ," he started.
"We've thought a lot about it and we really would like to adopt you, or at least take care of you as one of ours if you don't feel like being 'adopted' by us." my mom finished.
"Wow," she started, tears running down her cheeks.
"You have always been my family and in a way I've always liked to think that I was a part of your life and now hearing that, it's just, (she sighed) it's just unreal, and of course I'd love to be adopted by you, I feel blessed, I'm so happy thank you so much." she said hugging the three of us and by now me and my mom were crying too, my dad the man he is never cried in front of anybody, but I think I saw a tear, anyway I HAVE A REAL SISTER!
"I'm beyond speechless, I'm so happy." I said.
"Well tomorrow then I'll call my lawyer so we can make all the papers for the adoption." my dad said whipping, the one tear I saw coming out, away.
"Wait Michael we still have a surprise don't we?" my mom said happily.
"You guys, are going to make me have a heart attack with all your surprises." I laughed.
"Well if you want to we can keep the surprise for us." she said.
"NO," me and Amalia said at the same time, then laughed about it.
"Well then, these are for you." she handed us a little box, mine being white and Amalia's being black.
"Does the color mean something about the surprise or it's just normal boxes?" Amalia asked.
"Well the color of the box defines the color of your gift." my dad said.
"Well white's my color so I'm good." I laughed.
"Now open it." My dad said, while my mom had her Iphone in her hand recording, I suppose, our reactions.
"No way!" I said opening the tiny box.
"Gosh I'm gonna faint." Amalia said.
"You girls will need cars to come home from Cambridge for the weekend and holidays so we thought that those might be handy." my mom said while my dad had his arm around her.
In the tiny box was a key, but not any key, my key was a Porsche one and Amalia had a Mercedes key.
"You guys bought us cars?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes Ella, we bought you cars, one for you and one for Amalia." they said.
"Jesus Crist, gosh this is way too much money." Amal said.
"Do not worry about that girls, we love you, now let's go see your babies, and then go eat because all this made me hungry." my dad said happily and smiling.
We left the room already taking our coats because we will then leave and go to the restaurant. We were in the elevator waiting to reach the parking lot level and me and Amal couldn't take our eyes off of our car keys with the big Porsche and Mercedes logos. When we reached the parking lot level, Amal and I screamed a bit, then the doors opened and it was just amazing both cars were there, my white Porsche and her black Mercedes.
"Pinch me I'm dreaming!" I said as Amalia pinches me.
"Eyy! I was joking this hurt." I wined but then forgot about it, pressed the unlock button of my car and when it opened I understood it was real and mine, I ran to my parents and hugged them super tightly thanking them again and again.
"Now let's roll ladies." said my mom entering in my car.
"I'm going with Amal." said my dad.
"See you at the restaurant." I screamed.
We both started the cars and the sound of the car was music to my ear, I looked at my mom, smiled and then we drove off.
