Merry Happy Love

I went over to Rory’s Christmas Eve morning when he failed to meet me outside for our run. He was asleep and still in the clothes he had had on the night before.

“Rory, get up!” I shook him and nudged him with my foot, but my prodding was of no use.

“If you’re trying to get him to run with you, Ava, forget about it. He just got home an hour ago.”

“You’re joking.”

Gianna shook her head in a playful way. “I wish I were. I was worried sick about him. Always out chasing girls,” she tsked and shut his bedroom door.

I followed her down the hall to the kitchen. She had been baking bread and the whole house smelled like a bakery; it was wonderful. Julia was perched on a stool, reading People Magazine. I glanced at the cover; some new break-up about some celebrity. I rolled my eyes at her.

“Don’t give me that crap, Ava. See what I am reduced to? Baking bread for hours on end? This,” she said, shaking the magazine at me, “is my only escape.”

“You could do homework,” I suggested.

“It’s Christmas break!” Julia bounced down off the stool. It was her turn to roll her eyes at me. She picked up a stack of magazines and carried them off towards her room down the hall next to Rory’s.

“Don’t worry about her,” Gianna said, waving her hand in the air at Julia’s empty seat. “She’s been moody for weeks. I think Thais is rubbing off on her.”

Gianna could be really naïve. She had no clue about Rory and Julia. Julia had started to really like Rory and Rory had backed way off from her. He had told Ari a couple of weeks ago that he had decided to try a “hard to get approach.” I didn’t think it was working in his favor, though. I could tell that the little comment Gianna had just made about Rory chasing girls hadn’t sat well with Julia.

I washed my hands and began to help Gianna knead bread dough.

Gianna loves to talk. I can see where Rory and Nick get their personalities. She is loud and has a full, happy laugh. I didn’t understand how someone like her had ended up with someone like Thais. I guess sometimes opposites attract. Almost as though reading my mind, Gianna opened her mouth to tell me her story.

“I met Thais in a job interview,” she smiled. “I had gone to his law office in hopes of becoming his legal assistant. I had no idea what he looked like and I was nervous. It was my first interview ever. My mom and dad wanted me to concentrate on school, so I never had to work. Not even a part-time job. Once school was finished and it was time for me to enter the real world, I found I had no idea what I was doing.

“Thais could tell I was nervous. He led me back to his office and got me a glass of water.
