a confession....

Tala closed her eyes as the water from the hot springs made her relax, "At leaste I know now...thanks," she mumbled.

Draco looked to her "i...i basically thought you were like Ashley,but less pathetic..."

"So I was pathetic? That's not the first time I've heard that and it won't be the last!" she said.

Draco laughed a bit "if i'm honest..i've always wanted a little sister anyways!" he said,slightly blushing

Tala looked up to him with a smile and gave him a hug. "I'm glad I have a big brother that's happy to have his little sister around!" she said holding the picture tightly.

Draco hugged her back "oh..does aaron know?"

"You just told me, how should I know if he knows?" Tala mumbled.

"Besides, I don't really like him! He tries to be dominant but I can easily beat him, then he tries to treat me like a weak damsel in distress! I hate that! I never want be a Cindarella and people need to learn that!" Tala said firmly pulling away from the embrace. "...what was mother like?"

"mom?..." draco hid his eyes "she was...always looking ahead,...always smiling honestly...she was almost the same as you,except mom was probably the most conident person i've ever known..."

"She sounds amazing..." Tala said looking at the picture "And she was so beautiful...she looks so much like you...is there a picture of the three of us?"

Draco rumaged through his pocket "well,i've got one,but you were still only a baby,i'll ask Mito if he has any,...he's known my mom and me practically all my life, heck! he's more like a father to me than my real father!" he chuckled,handing Tala the picture:

Tala gave a giggle. "Kawaii!" Tala said with a smile holding both pictures and comparing them. "Kawaii!"

Draco laughed

Tala handed Draco the pictures back "I just wanted to see!"

"you keep them i you want,mito probably has plenty!" Draco chuckled

Tala carefully put them in her bag then thought about something. "Did mother ever give you a pendant or charm of some sort?" Tala asked.
