Maite:
Although Mami told us to come home early, we managed to sneak in at 6 am and was surprised that she hadn't woken up this time. All day we did nothing and laid in bed while watching tik toks. All of a sudden I hear the same song on Sara's phone when I turn to look at her and she looks at me. I show her my screen when her jaw drops and shows me hers. It was the same video that popped onto both of our fyp's at the same exact time. "WHAT THE FUCKKK" Sara says in disbelief. I laugh and turn back to my phone to scroll some more.
"Ughhh I can't believe I'm leaving in a week" Sara complains as she turns to look at me.
"I knoww, it really did go by fast, but hey we still have Bilbao together, and heyy we're going tomorrow"
"Oh yeaa, that seems fun"
"Yea and you'll get to meet my aunt and her dog, he's huge by the way, like horse dog huge" I blithered,
"Oh damnn, whats the name?"
"Txomin" I say
"Tx-Txo-ming?"
"Txo-Min" I sound out
"Txomin" she repeats
"Ahh ok Txomin, got it"
"when are we going again?" Sara asks,
"I think in 2 days" I say
"Ohh ok"
"What do you want to do today?" Sara asks,
"MMm I don't know to be honest, it looks kind of gloomy out, do you want to make bizcotxo?" I ask
"What's that?"
"A bread cake Amuma usually makes, it's absolutely delicious, and the batter, I won't even start on that" I gesture with my hand
"GURL you eat the batter"
"Hey hey, the batter is good, you can't judge you haven't tried it" I defend myself
"MMkkk"
We make our beds as it it 11 am and barely got any sleep. The bags under my eyes surprisingly aren't as bad as they should be at this time in day. We head over to the living room where Amuma is circling the words in her word search book.
She looks up in a surprised manner and smiles "Oooo you two are lucky that Edu is still asleep, she didn't even notice when you came back home, but guess who did" she says pointing to herself with her thumbs.
"Whatt you heard us?"
"Ohh sweety I hear a lot of things, including the neighbor that has to close the door five times before she actually leaves the house, every single day" She adds with a straight face as she presses her lips together.
"Oh, well Amuma we actually wanted to make bizkotxo, can you help us?" I ask
"Ohh I would love to" She beams with delight as she stands up to walk to the kitchen.
"And your lucky I just bought more oranges" She laughs
"Oh thank you Amuma" I say with a smile
We begin taking out glass bowls and measuring cups along with the ingredients for the cake. Four, Three, Two, One and a little bit. I think to myself
Amuma looks at me firmly "Now do you remember the order of it?" she questions
"Four oranges, three cups of flour, two cups of sugar, one egg and a little bit of anise" I say
