Chapter 5 - One fish in the sea

We walk up to Emine's little shack. "This is it", she says proudly. We walk inside. "Wow this is amazing", I say in amazement. "Yeah my dad helped me build it", she says. "Cool, you wanna trade dads?", I say. We both laughed. "By the way you talk about him I'd pass", she says as she continues to laugh. "I don't blame ya", I say. ---------------------------------------------- "So here it is", she says. "Imma put something on". I nod and we listen for a minute. "I love "Sweet Caroline", I say humming to the music. "Me too it's one of my all-time favorites", she says.

A couple more seconds go by and then the record box starts messing up. I think for a moment and then I have an idea. "Have you played any other music on here?", I ask. "No, I only have sweet caroline I'm trying to save up for another record", she says. "Well chances are it's the record", I say. "When you start hearing a buzzing or humming sound sometimes it's the record itself". "Really, how did I not think of that", she says. "Maybe because I've never tried to fix it", she says as she laughs. "Oh wow", I say. "Emine time for dinner!", Emine's mom shouts out from the house.

"Time to eat!", she says happily. "Your gonna love the tacos, oh and her homemade drinks are the best". I smile as I see her so happy it brings me comfort. Ugh, I really gotta stop. "Um I forgot your last name what was it", I ask. "It's Fairley", she says. "Alright", I say. We walk into the kitchen and I see Emine's mom and dad. Her mom is bringing the food to the table while her dad is sitting at the table. "Hi mister and miss Fairley", I say. "Oh hello!", Emine's mom says. "Ranto is it?", she says. "Yes ma'am", I say as I take a seat along with Emine. "Hello Ranto, nice to meet you", Emine's dad says.

"Same here!", I say. "Oh and you don't have to call me Miss Fairley it makes me seem old", she says. "Just call me Angelina" She smiles as she brings in the sauce, I suppose it's for the tacos. "No matter what anyone calls you you still gonna be 34", Emine's dad says as he laughs. Emine joins in on the laughter and I quietly do the same. "Oh shush!", Angelina says. She walks over to him and pops him on the head with a kitchen towel. But that just makes him laugh even harder. After a while, Angelina joins in on the laughter. I can already tell I'm gonna love this family.

After every finally comes down we begin to eat. And Emine was right this food is amazing I absolutely enjoyed it. Btw Emine's dad introduced himself to me and his name is Emmett. "This food is so good Angelina", I say as I stuff my face. "I'm glad you liked it!", she says proudly. "I told ya!", Emine says. A little while later we're all just talking. "So where's Alejandro", Emine ask. "Over at a friend's house", Emmett says. "Why he didn't go to school", she ask. "He overslept", Angelina says. "That boy" Emine has a brother? Emmett shakes his head.

Hello.

I hope you're enjoying so far. Emine's and Ranto's friendship is growing so fast. I love it! #friendship goals! This story is already so good but oh I tell you it's only gonna get better. But here's your joke. By now you should know that I'm always gonna give you a joke. And it's always good quality too! Know what do you call a boy used to pain? ------------------ Unfazed! hahaha good one right? Oh you don't think so that's fine. I guess you just don't have good taste.

We finished dinner and Emine's parents are washing dishes while Emine wanted to show me her fish. So we walked up into her room. "His name is Fernando, well I think it's a he", she says. "You think?", I say. "Yeahh we got 'em from a carnival sooo yeah", she says. "haha I could maybe fit for both genders I guess", I say as I chuckle. "Maybe, buts he's a lucky fishie he has this whole ocean to himself", she says. "Ah yes he's living in paradise", I say. "One fish in the sea". We both laugh. "You wanna feed him?", Emine asks. "Sure", I say. She hands me the container of fish food. If your curious on what type of fish it is, it's a goldfish. Pretty common at carnivals.

So we've just been chillen, listening to music and talking. This has been such a great day I wish it could last forever. "Hey it's getting late I should probably head home", I say. "Awh Okay", she says. "Did you have fun?" I looked at her with an "are you serious" expression. "What?", she says confused. "Did I?", I say. "I've enjoyed every second of every minute spending time with you". She blushes and stands up. "Oh really, I'm so glad to hear that, you should come over another time soon!", she says happily. I smile and head to her bedroom door. "Will do", I say. "Bye dusk", she says. "Bye dawn", I say. We both smile and she walks up to me and gives me a hug. When I tell you I wasn't prepared for that I wasn't. It took all the strength out of me to keep my composure.
