chapter thirteen

"This is the plan. We watch out for any chance that the girl is alone and that's when we strike," the voice told the man.

"I don't understand why you want to do this."

"Has there been any movement in the house?"

"No."

"Okay just keep watching."

"Cindy seems to be very happy," Clara looked at her husband, "I just wish we got to know her sooner."

The two were sitting in the guestroom where they were staying.

"I'm going to go for a walk in the garden."

Mike was walking around the garden when he spotted someone on the veranda.

"Hi," Cindy sat up from the hammock.

"What you doing out here by yourself?" He asked.

"I'm not used to having so many people around so I decided to sit out here for awhile."

Mike didn't know what else to say to her.

"You don't like me do you?" She looked at him, "I wasn't the granddaughter you wanted to have."

"Of course not..." He protested, smiling as Cindy stood up to hug him.

"Let's walk around the garden," he smiled at her, "did you know that when your mom was your age she..."

Camila watched from her bedroom window as her daughter and Mike walked around. The sight before her brought tears to her eyes, he finally accepted her.

"What are you looking at?" Lauren came into the room.

"Your father and daughter," she pointed happily.

"She won his heart already huh?" Lauren laughed, "I knew she was the only one who could get it through him."

"She simply irresistible," Camila smiled.

"So is her mother," Lauren looked at her flirtatiously, "I'd like to take you out to dinner tonight."

"What about your parents? Cindy has plans with Alissa and I already said yes."

"They'll be fine here."

"Wouldn't it be rude?" Camila looked at her.

"Shush..." Lauren put her lips over hers.

"So you're going out with mom tonight?" Cindy said excitedly.

"It's just a date," Camila shrugged, "how do I look?"

"You look beautiful," Cindy laughed as Camila winked at her.

"Come on," the two girls walked down stairs.

"Bye!" Cindy waved at her parents.

"Straight to Alissa's house," Camila ordered, kissing her cheek.

"You be good," Lauren kissed her on the forehead.

Cindy laughed and waved as her parent's left.

"Abuelo, abuela..." Cindy called around the house.

"They left to go get some dinner. There's no one here but me and you," Natalie, the maid looked at her.

"Where's A?" Cindy asked.

"His sister's sick remember?"

"Oh yeah. I'm going to Alissa's now ," Cindy looked at her.
