Emma’s POV- December 2014
“Do you see Filip often?”
I looked at his mom Carina and nodded.
“Yes, I usually have time to see him about 3 times a week” I said.
She nodded slowly and smiled.
“You make him happy”
I smiled and nodded.
“He makes me happy as well” I said.
“Good, good. I raised him well then”
I laughed lightly and I took a sip of my green tea. She sipped her coffee and smiled a bit.
“This is a beautiful home”
I nodded and looked around.
“My cousins” I said.
“The one who owns the restaurant?”
I nodded and she smiled.
“When do I meet her?”
“She comes back from Brazil tonight, so we can have breakfast tomorrow” I said.
She smiled.
“I like, what’s his name? Max, very nice”
I nodded.
“Your cousin is a total gentleman”
I smiled.
“Fredrik mentioned you used to swim”
I nodded and smiled.
“Yes, I represented the US” I said.
“You were good?”
I nodded slowly, and I could feel my cheeks heat up.
“Yes, i’m the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Champion in the 200m Breaststroke” I said.
She smiled.
“Really? You’re really good then. Why retire?”
“I had hip surgery, and I chose to focus on school instead” I told her.
She nodded slowly and smiled.
“Do you swim still?”
“Not competitvely” I told her as I ate a cookie.
She nodded and the front door opened. Max walked in with Filip’s dad Patrik and Filip’s little brother Fredrik.
“So girls run in your family?”
I looked at her and nodded.
“Yes, I have two older sisters” I said.
She smiled.
“I wanted a daughter”
I smiled and nodded.
“You can be her right? I like you for my boy”
I nodded and smiled at the guys.
“How was the jog?” I asked.
Max nodded as he handed them waterbottles.
“It was alright, they’re fast but my foot couldn’t keep up”
I nodded and they took gulps of their waters. My phone began ringing and I saw Filip was facetiming me.
“Can I answer?”
I handed Fredrik my phone and he swiped. He began speaking in Swedish and Carina turned to me. She insisted I call her Carina.
“Do you want to know how to speak Swedish?”
I nodded.
“Filip mentioned you speak another language”
I nodded.
“I speak Spanish and a bit of French. My grandparents were from France and they had my dad and uncle in Mexico”
She nodded.
“I don’t speak it as much, but it was spoken in the house” I said.
She smiled.
“Are you teaching Filip Spanish?”
I nodded.
“Yes I am, he’s teaching me Swedish” I said.
“That’s good”
I nodded and I watched as Fredrik taunted Filip.
“He wants to talk to you”
I laughed and took the phone from him. He waved at his mom and I handed her the phone. I went to get a cup of water and as I took a sip of water Max nudged me.
”I like them”
I smiled and nodded. He patted my shoulder and he agreed we’d have dinner with the Forsberg’s then go pick Angie up from the airport.
