Chapter 2 (Alexia)

Santa Monica is too beautiful, we park in the parking lot of the bookstore and get out of the car.

- Do you want a picture in front of the bookstore? Granny asks me

- Yes\, why not\, but with the books in hand would be even better you don't think grandma.

- You're right\, so come in proposed

When we enter it is total wonder, the interior is very pretty.

- Now you can take a picture of me\, I say\, turning to Grandma.

- Very well said\, smiling\, when your mother is gone I will offer you something\, in a tone that piques my curiosity.

- All right

She takes a few shots, and we go through the rows of books until we find the young-adult section. And a few steps not far away is the romance category of the section. There are a lot of books that look interesting. I take out my phone and do quick research on the ones that interest me. Finally, I choose to take the Off-campus and Briar U sagas that I had originally planned to buy, and add Mr. Popular and I, Alice Wells' love lessons, a saga called Another story of bad boys, and a saga called With me, and a saga called A counter-sense - fortunately the bookstore has a small shopping cart like the supermarket to put the books. I can't resist going to see the addictive books and I find my happiness with the book Dark man in love. All I'm going to buy 21 books.

- Wow cariña you took a lot\, and how do you know you're going to enjoy them? Granny asks still amazed by my purchases when I'm paying them at the checkout

- Basically I just came to buy these seven books\, but the other books looked as exciting\, so I did some research on reviews of romance readers\, and they are much advised.

- The technology evolves a lot as I see it a little confused - she is rarely confused\, she is a very fashionable granny who does not seem to be 62 years old but rather 40 with her coloring.

- Alas\, but it's still convenient enough to choose better intervenes the saleswoman. Thank you for your visit and to the next she said as she pulled herself together.

- Yes I'm sure I'll come back I said I

- No\, wait mademoiselle each of the books we sell have a custom page mark to the theme of the story we interrupted the saleswoman before we walked through the door.

- Oh\, really? I can help you? Given my many purchases did I kindly propose to the saleswoman who comes out of a closet behind the counter of the boxes that each have a book title written on it.

- Don't bother I have a very specific organization\, if you could just quote your purchases?" she said\, smiling.

- I took Off-campus: The deal\, The mistake\, The score\, The goal; Briar U: The chase\, The risk\, The play.

Mr. Popular and I; Alice Wells' Love Lessons ; Another story of bad boys: tome 1, episode 2, the final; She’s with me, Stay with me, Still with you; In the opposite direction:Noah, Nick, Jealousy, Trust, Promises, The final; Dark man in love I say without stopping for a second, and I'm stunned

- Where are you going to find the time to read all these books? Asks me the saleswoman

- I don't have to read them all this summer\, at least thank you for the page brands.

- Can she take pictures in front of the bookstore? Granny asks.

- Of course and don't forget to tagger our Instagram responds to us the saleswoman by handing me a brochure.

- I won't forget\, good goodbye

We leave the bookstore and I take a picture with my shopping bags, other pictures to make a book haul. After we decide to go to lunch in an Italian restaurant. While we wait to be served, Granny and I take the opportunity to chat.

- This is where your grandfather took me to dinner when we weren't officially together yet. Our relationship was very secret since your grandfather was one of my brother's best friends. Where are you going to go now that you've finished high school? She asks me

- I have sent my application to Yale and UCLA\, and normally they will email me to respond to my application.

- Do you have a boyfriend? Asks

- Unfortunately I never had one\, yet I recommend Amelia with her crushes. That's a funny idea\, isn't it? I don't know anything about guys\, I say with a sad smile.

- You're only seventeen\, you shouldn't be so sad\, she comforted me.

- How old did you get to Grandpa?

- 18 at a birthday party of a friend of Yves (granny's older brother) whom I begged my brother to take me.

- And you're in love right away?

- He was very sexy as a guy\, you know\, so there was only a physical attraction between him and me when we first met. When Yves introduced me to his friends\, he warned them not to try to go out with me\, or he would kill the one who dares. And that's exactly what he almost did when we revealed our relationship in the eyes of all.

- So when are we going to visit your friend? I ask

- When your mother is no longer around\, that is\, Sunday. After lunch\, do you want to go to the beauty salon? Propose

- Yes why not\, I'd like to do a manicure and pluck my eyebrows

Our food arrives, and we eat with laughter from all the

anecdotes I have to tell about what has happened in my life over the last three

years without coming to see it.
