*Click* *Click*
I think it's a bit odd I need a little improvement for this
I lean forward bent down my knees and *Snap*
I take a look at the result
"Perfect"
I took another shot but from different view this time
*Click* *Snap*
"How's your side?"
That's my older sister who went with me to Milpitas California to take various of photos for the competition I enter
"Still not enough"
"We'll be staying at Uncle Jordan's place, you better hurry up we just took the flight"
"Alright Alright you don't need to tell me that, I know your such an impatient person sis"
We just arrived and I'm already taking pictures instead of resting for a bit
"Let's go, Uncle's here!" My sister grabbed me
"Wait a moment this is it!"
I saw a better viewing, I shouldn't miss this
I lean closer to my camera and steadily capture the view
And before I ever look at the result my sister grabbed my hand
"We'll be back tomorrow for now let's rest Candice" she said
"Yes Madam"
I saw Uncle with his car
"How are you ladies?" He said in greetings
"We're good Uncle Jordan"
"Well kinda bit worried about my competition" I said
"Let's go, get on" said Uncle
We put our luggage inside the car and take our sits
"Buckle up ladies" said Uncle and drive as to their house
During the trip I took my camera and finally see the result of that last shot I got
I look closely, it's kind of great but still something's off
I'll look for a better view tomorrow...
-At Uncle Jordan's Place-
"Long time no see Rosianna, Candicelanna" it's older cousin West
"How have you been lately West" said sis
"I'll go ahead first!" I said as I pulled my luggage inside
"I miss you cousin" Lina suddenly pop's out of nowhere
She hugged me for greetings, I then hugged her back
"I miss you too, it's been years since the last time I saw you"
"Hm, y'know what I'm so excited to tell you this, I actually found the best view for you to look into" she said
"Really?"
"Yes, here!"
She get her phone and pointed out something, it was a beautiful place where you can enjoy the sunset and sunrise, lots of flower in the surroundings, it's grassy, and really wide
"Where is it?" I ask
"I'll send you the address"
*Ding*
My phone rangs, it seems she already send the address
"Thanks Lina"
"No problem, anyway I've got to go see you later"
I only smiled at her while she left
I went to their living area and saw Grandma Lavien knitting a scarf and I saw Auntie Gen cooking something
I smiled at Grandma the moment she sees me, I then hugged her really tight cause I really miss her so bad
"My grand daughter you've grown a fine young woman" she complimented as she touch my face and comb my long hair which I desperately want to cut
I've been longing for a short haircut but since I'm so busy to do so I didn't have time and it got longer really good
"Go on now darling" said grandma
I then pulled a hugged for my Aunt Gen, hugged her tight aswell
"It smelled good Aunt Gen, what are you cooking?" I ask
"Of course your favorite pie Candice" she smiled
"You baked more better than Mom Aunt Gen" I teased
"Don't worry Demi dm me to teach her how to baked for you guys"
"I wish she could learn your skills" I smiled
"You're such a sweet kid" she kissed me on the chicks
"Oh right Aunt Gen is the park still here?" I asked
"Yes, West usually hang out with his friends"
"I think I want to visit it now! It's just that I miss this place so much!"
"Be back before dinner!"
"Got it Aunt, bye grandma!" I wink at grandma
I pulled my skate board, and waved babye to my older sister
"Where are you going Candice? I told you to rest?"
And their she goes complaining once again
"Just going for a walk!" I said
I hold the camera that's been hanging through my neck the whole time and took some pictures while skate boarding
This place didn't change a lot, I still remember some places
I put my hood on and continue to skate until I got to the park, my favorite place to take a break
I stop skating, I just take pictures out of habit and might as well get a beautiful shot for the competition
I've stayed for quiet an hour, I decided to take a break in the corner, I saw a bench and take a sit while I examined the result of my photography
Not bad actually, but still I need to get the best shot
Wind started to blew harder that it pulled my hoodie away from my head and my long hair keeps flowing
Still I stand up and continue to skate while taking some videos and pictures
Then later on I saw something mysterious, it's a great view
I widened my eyes, lean closer to my camera and started taking photos
*Click* *Click*
That didn't came from me, I saw somebody behind me
I widened my eyes and got enlightened for a moment, his also taking picture of that view I saw and not just that he looks happy
I get away from him, leaned towards my camera and take the shot of him with that very view
While taking photos of him, the wind started blowing once again
And I felt a sudden glimpse of coldness
And the next thing I knew that the guy was already looking at me
He smiled, "Are you new? I mean I've never seen you here before?"
I stand still, "Just visited"
"It seems like we have the same passion?" He smiled once again
-Ba dum- -Ba dum-
Whenever I see a glimpse of him or hear his voice my heart started racing
"I-I guess so!" I responded
"I wish you well, see yah" he left with a smile
"Me too"
The moment his out of sight, I fall down on the ground, I was really nervous but finally his gone
I look at my camera and stared at his picture
I think this might be the very best picture I ever taken in my life
That one picture that made my heart race, nervous, and something
And I was wondering.....
Why did I choose Milpitas California for various of beautiful places?
I don't know— I just felt it should be here, this should be the place
And I guess I ain't wrong about it
