I wake up and hear shuffling, talking, and laughter. I get out of bed and Rosa gives me my coffee as usual, I stand on the balcony looking into the backyard. There are kids running wild, what the.....

I squint my eyes and recognize the kids as my little cousins and some older cousins

"Mira, mira, es Alicia! Alicia, hola! Ven a jugar, ven a jugar!" My cousin Maria screamed pointing at me

Translation; Look, look, it's Alicia! Alicia, hi! Come play, come play!

I groan and take a long shower. I put my hair in a big fan bun, brush my teeth, and put on my eyeliner and mascara. I go downstairs and my uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents- screw it! My whole fucking family was here.

I eat my breakfast in the downstairs bathroom trying not to be seen by my crazy family. I throw my dishes in the sink and Owen chuckles as I sneak up the stairs.

"Thank God" I sigh opening my door

"Hola tía, Alicia" My niece smiled
(Hi aunt, Alicia)

Lia is six years old, she was my little twin and I love her very much. She's not annoying like most of my nieces or cousins. She's adorable

"English, baby" I tell her

It's not that I don't speak Spanish or Italian like the rest of my family, it's just that I want the kids to make sure they don't use one language constantly and then they forget the other.

"Can I play with you?" She asked

Lia had brown curly hair like me and big green eyes with her light tan skin. How could I say no?

"Well we'll have to sneak out. Let's get dressed" I say

She smiles hugging me and I squeeze her back

"I love you so much" I tell her

"You tell me all the time!" Lia giggled

I carry her into the bathroom and I put on my signature red lipstick

"I want some!" Lia says puckering her little lips

I laugh and put a little on her lips. Lia rubs her baby lips together asks

"How do I look?"

"Beautiful. Now we have to get dressed" I say

"But I'm already dressed" Lia said

"But I went shopping yesterday and bought us an out fit" I say

"Okay!" She smiled
