"If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere. It's up to you" - Frank Sinatra

Alessandra's POV

Manhattan, New York

       The plane landed smoothly at the JFK airport, and the flight took seven hours, to be exact. And honestly, it felt longer than seven hours.

After claiming our baggage, we headed out to the arrival lounge, where Lucy's brother was supposedly waiting for our arrival.

And it didn't take us long to find him.

As soon as we arrived at the waiting area, Lucy spotted him right away.

He looks dashing, sporting tight jeans paired with a white shirt and a black leather jacket.

He waved at us when he saw us, with that broad smile plastered on his face.

"Salvador!" Lucy squealed as she waved back at him vigorously. I was giggling beside her.

Suddenly, all the fear that resided in my heart throughout the journey washed over.

As soon as we reached him, "¡Hola, hermanita." (Hey, sister.)

And he excitedly pulled his sister in for a hug.

Then he turned to me with a grin. "Hola, señorita Ali!" (Hey, Miss Ali!) he grinned boyishly and did the same thing.

Pulling me into his embrace, as he did with Lucy, I happily return his embrace just as briefly.

"Hola, Salvador. ¿Como estás?" (Hey, Salvador. How have you been?) I asked, returning his big smile.

He's like a brother to me.

I stood back behind my trolley as I waited for him to go.

"Muy bien, Ali. Gracias." (I'm fine, Ali. Thank you.) He replied as he turned his eyes back to his little sister.

"You look so well, Salvador!" Lucy grinned cheekily, pushing her trolley to him, which he gladly took, shaking his head afterward from Lucy's sweet remarks with a smile.

He pushed Lucy's trolly, and he guided us out.

Lucy and I trailed behind him ( while I pushed my trolley), leading us to the parking lot.

As soon as we got out, he came to a sudden halt and swiveled to face us. "Bienvenidas a Nueva York, señoritas." (Welcome to New York, ladies.) He exclaimed enthusiastically, causing me to grin excitedly.

My family used to go on a vacation, but they never brought me to any place here in the US.

My brothers frequently fly here because they are running the business. Mostly, their conferences are held here in the US.

While me, I was stuck with my mother back home. The only places I've been was in Europe.

Salvador led us to his Black Mercedes GL-Class SUV.

He deposited our luggage in the trunk as Lucy and I settled in the back seats.

Then, he sat on the driver's seat, turning on the engine.

Salvador checked in on us to see if we are settled in the back before he drove to his condo on the east of Murray Hill.

Lucy and I fell asleep on the way.

"Ali." A soft jerk on my shoulder caused my eyes to snap open.

A blurred vision of broad shoulders and darker brown curly hair was before my tired, and sleepy eyes.
