1 The Arrival

It was a Monday morning, I had just woke up and went directly to my computer. During the past week I received an e-mail saying there was a family interested in me. I opened my e-mail box and saw the e-mail I was waiting for.

'We marked an interview with your family next week. During the current week will be sent to you two plane tickets.'

Two days later I got my tickets, I had only 2 days to prepare myself and my sister.

The day finally arrived, as soon as I put my feet on the airport I felt the well known air of the United States.

A man was waiting for us, he drove us to the hotel and then we went to the meeting point. The AFS delegate was already there, but my family haven't arrived yet. We waited a few minutes and then I saw her, the woman who was going to be my mother for the next 10 months. I already knew her, but she didn't knew it.

- Hi, I'm Constance! — She introduced, giving me a kiss on the cheek.

- Hello, I'm Ana.

Constance started to talk about herself, she was not married, but was living together with a man, Jack. She had two boys, both around the 40's, but I knew it already. She lives on a big house on the suburbs of the city, she even brought pictures of it.

An hour later the AFS delegate asked me what did I think and I vigorously answered 'When can I move in?'

School was starting in two weeks, so we agreed that I was going to stay there now and my family were sending my things during those weeks, so two days later I was moving in with my single bag and my acoustic guitar, that I bring to everywhere.

In front of the house was parked a convertible that I had already seen on her younger son's pictures.

The house is big, and it has a big pool on the backyard. My room is on the second floor, I have a double bed, which would be really good if I wanted to sleep with someone. I also have a TV, a big closet and some shelves.

I was unpacking my stuff when Constance entered the room.

- Do you need some help?

- No thanks. — I smiled — Thank you very much for letting me stay here.

- It's okay, my boys are old enough to have their own lives and I missed some action around the place.

She smiled, a few wrinkles started to appear on her eyes. Despite that, she has no signs of her age, just like her boys. I picked my guitar and tried to find a place for her. Constance smiled. 'You play?' She asked.

- A little. I had lessons, but the store closed. I like to bring her with me whenever I'm staying away from home.

- My younger son plays it too. The older one is a drummer, he also plays guitar, but his thing are drums. They have a band, I really don't know where they are right now. — She sighed.

- Somewhere in Europe, I guess. — I whispered.

- What darling?

I looked at her smiling 'I Was just talking to my buttons.'

Who would have told that I was going to spent 10 months on my celebrity crush's mother house?!
