Chapter 10 ~
"Thank you!" I shouted to anyone as I walked out of the airport. The heat! Better than the icy chill we had in England. I was high with life and was super excited. We had landed in Miami and the weather was burning! I was wearing swim shorts and a vest and was still hot! It would take some getting use to the heat, that was for sure! It was a 30 minute drive from the airport and I spent it listening to 80's classics on my iPod (and headphones). The view was spectacular all the birds and beaches! Then we arrived. "Home!" shouted Melina pointing to the (practically) mansion standing before my eyes. "That!" I said. "Don't you like it?" she asked puzzled. "It's wonderful," I sighed, "so is Florida." We brought in my stuff and I was led to a spare bedroom already designed for me. It had a bathroom joint on, a king sized bed, a huge mirror and a massive wardrobe. I started to unpack. "Arghh!" I screamed as a lady walked in. "Sorry, I clean," she whispered nervously. "Oh I do apologise," I said holding out my hand. She shook it and then said. "No no! It's my fault for not introducing myself. I'm Ariel the cleaner. What, may I ask, is your name?" "Poppy, Ariel is a lovely name!" I exclaimed. "Thank you! I will be in later when you are not. I have a son I would like you to meet, he is 11," she replied walking out. Ariel was mid-late 40's and had (died) blue hair. She had green eyes and her smile was, by far, her best feature. I finished unpacking and lay down. I must have dozed off because I was awoken by Madison and Delilah with a 'guest' for me to meet. Madison was 16 and was my cousin. Delilah was 14 and was my other cousin both had long brown hair and both were very caring about how they looked. "Who?" I asked eagerly. "Peter- Ariels son!"Delilah giggled. "I'll send him in and then we will give you some alone time," Maddie giggled making rude/sexy faces. When they sent him in I was stunned by what I saw. Peter was topless and very sexy. He had windswept brown hair and green eyes. "Sorry if I get anything wet. I have just been surfing with my sister Anna and her friend Bethany," he said genuinely apologetically. "It's ok, BTW I'm Poppy!" I smiled, " I'm 11 as well!" "I'm Peter and your really pretty!" he laughed. I must have blushed because then he said: "no, no its true!" "Do you wanna sit?" i asked pointing to the space next to me on the couch. He sat and I looked at his eyes. "Your eyes ate beautiful," I whispered staring. He kissed me. "Dinner!" shouted Maddie. We instantly pulled away and I blushed majorly. I waved and walked out. For saying I was only 11 I had kissed a LOT of boys! Dinner was a chicken salad with homemade icepops. I was asked if I had settled in and I said yes. "Lila runs a surf club for 6-8 year olds do you want to tag along?" Aunty Mel asked me. "Sure thanks! If that's ok with you Lila?" I asked. "Yeah, definitely! It's every Tuesday at 5:00pm," she replied. I would be there. Madison got up and I did the same. I went back to my room. Peter left a note on my windowsill. It read: TO POPPY ~ HI WE SHOULD MEET UP SOME TIME I WILL BE AT THE BEACH ALL DAY TOMORROW WITH DELILAH SO IF U WANNA MEET CALL ME LOVE PETER XXX He left his phone number underneath I messages him straight away. HI IT'S POPPY (POPPS) I AM TAGGING ALONG WITH LILA AS WELL SO I'LL SEE U THERE X I was now so excited for tomorrow. I t was 6:00pm and I was about to get on my pyjamas when I head a splash outside my window. Delilah had bombed into the pool! "Come on!" she shouted when she saw me. I put on my bikini and ran outside. I stepped in. Brrr! When my toe was used to the chill I dived off the diving board and entered perfectly! Me and Lila swam fir an 2 hours! After that I did get on my pyjamas and got straight into my huge, comfy bed! What would happen at the beach? I wish I knew!
