"An afternoon with my cousin"

I have been knowing my cousin since I was a baby, I grew up with her, but now i barely see her. My cousin's name is Melissa and she is six months older than me. My mother doesn't think she is a good influence so she doesn't allow us to hang out. I miss spending time with her. She is very different from me and in a way I look up to her. I would go to her house and then drive to the mall and go out to eat. We would catch up and talk about life.
