while riding my purple tricycle, I can't forget it, I can't help feeling a certain melancholy for being in this place for the first time in more than five years, I still can't believe it, so many memories. Even Santiago looks around, with a certain sparkle in his eyes and a smile that is about to appear on his lips, I know from his expression that he liked the place. “We arrived! “exclaims my mother, Santiago observes with intrigue what is in front of him as we go through that pavement with two grass carpets on both sides and he stops in front of the front door, the first to see us arrive is Uncle Frank who is holding a bottle leaning against the doorway in front of us. I get out of the car when I see his greenish eyes scrutinize that hummer with surprise and much more when Santiago gets out of the truck and it's just that this man catches the eye of anyone, Uncle Frank hasn't noticed that I'm surrounding the car and I'm heading to him. "Uncle Frank," I say, seeing that he has open
I turn my gaze to where Santiago is, at his right side Uncle Samuel serves him another glass of wine and hands it to him; He stands up and walks towards us taking a sip of the wine and smiles, I know he likes it and I know he's thinking of getting drunk, I smile at him anyway. Upon reaching me, she leans towards me to place her delicate lips on mine, with a certain flavor of sweet alcohol. I get up for him to sit and then settle on his legs, my favorite place in the world, and then lie on his torso, he caresses my hair, while I continue my talk with Stefanie about old friendships that we both had in common in this place, what includes Raymond. “Mrs. Phillips told me that Raymond now lives in California. Stefanie has no idea about the altercation in California with Raymond. I can immediately see how Santiago's face turns serious and annoyed when he hears that name. "He applied to Dad for a job, he says he left his old job due to personal problems." I frown, and Santiago smiles. "He's
I wake up with the soft sound of a sparrow, I open my eyes and immediately focus on the bird on the window frame, I already missed this. I shift a bit, but…shit, Santiago's chest is pretty comfortable. Immediately, Santiago wakes up, rubs his eyes and looks in all directions.“What time is it? he asks, I turn my gaze to the device on the nightstand and the clock shows a little after eight.“Eight? “Santiago's eyes widen and he gets out of bed like a spring, runs to the bathroom and I look at him with intrigue as he disappears behind the door.“What's the matter? I stand up and walk towards him, he is brushing his teeth in a hurry.“The regulation of your...“That? He spits out the toothpaste and meets my gaze in the mirror.“Our gift for your father should already be here “he continues brushing his teeth. Our gift?“ How our gift? “I walk towards him while I cross my arms and stand next to him, he nods and I frown “What did you buy him?“What does your father love apart from wine? “le
The ambulance is taking too long, every second that passes I feel like my soul is leaving, I want to cry but I won't, I am strong, at this moment my mind begins to look for the guilty and before pointing to Evan, it points to me father; if he hadn't put it into her head that she had to marry a doctor she wouldn't be in this situation with this idiot who is more than twelve years older, unfortunately he is the only one who knows what to do in such cases, now I do regret it of not having continued the medical degree, I feel useless and I have to allow this idiot to give me instructions. Santiago goes for my mother; right away she and grandma come running, my mom takes off her platform sandals to run better, grandma knows her stuff because of her age, so thank God we don't need Evan's idiot anymore, Santiago takes him from his damn well groomed uniform and with a fist he takes him away from the scene, I could swear I see concern on his face, but I'm sure it's the fear of losing his care
And at that precise moment is when a tear claims to come out of my eyes, I had never seen Alexander this way nor he had seen me this way and the tear runs, runs until it gets lost in my clavicle, slowly I return to the place where who was next to him. “How can you believe that it was not going to affect me? When all my classmates at school were anxiously waiting for their parents to come to pick them up, I would see how they would run to hug them when they saw them and I would wait for the teacher to take me home when they forgot to pick me up. Alexander's eyes begin to fill with tears and several run down his face and I continue, swallowing the lump in my throat that barely lets me speak. “How can you believe that I was not going to be affected by the fact that you called me a failure just because I liked things that you didn't? “Alex... “How can you believe that I wasn't going to be affected by the fact that every time I saw you it was only to fight with me just because it wasn
I don't know why, but I'm more than happy that it was just a bad dream, I sit in the dining room with Alexander and Uncle Frank who doesn't stop joking about my shorts, at least it amuses my father, but not me, now I'm upset and I'm going to start my revenge. "Alekpool" he laughs again and huffs. “I can't even drink the coffee in peace “I hear some footsteps behind me and I turn in that direction, Santiago is getting closer and he looks at us in bewilderment. “Santiago How can you sleep next to those repeated deakpool? asks Uncle Frank, and Santiago looks at him and frowns. “It's deadpool DEADPOOL! “I spit. “Oh! “Exclaims Santiago and laughs out loud “I think I'm used to it. Santiago greets Uncle Frank and my father who answers him with a smile as he brings a sip of coffee to his mouth. He approaches me and gives me a tender kiss on the cheek. "It's not just about Deadpool," he continues, going to the coffee pot, "it's also about SpongeBob, the ninja turtles, the fantastic four
I keep drumming my shoes against the floor, staring at the diamond shapes forming, I'm more bored than a Misifús poop in my clothes, I look around. In less than ten minutes I hear my name in a woman's voice “Kate? I frowned and, puzzled, answered. “Here. “I regret it later. What if they want to kill me? “Here it is not, I correct. “Well, for the Kate that is not here, there is a bag with feminine towels. “Oh! So if it's me “damn Santiago, he couldn't tell me that he would send them to the lady. She passes the bag under the bathroom door and I thank her. I leave with all the shame in the world and the lady is mopping the floor, I thank her again and when I go out the bathroom door there is Santiago with his arms crossed. "I bought you 50 of those so you don't put me through this again" I frown, no, I can't imagine Santiago carrying 50 of those. Santiago is handed the pizza box and I hold the sodas, as Santiago takes the box a piece of paper falls out, I put one of the sodas on t
I shift a little between the delicious velvet sheets, shit... I want to pee, I get more comfortable because my body refuses to get up, but no... it's uncomfortable Damn it! One can't even sleep in peace, I get up slowly and sit for a while until the desire to release liquids wins me over, I never drink a liter of orange juice at night again.I walk towards the bathroom, my brain still thinking about how those sheets feel so good against my skin... when a blow to my forehead wakes me up WHORE! My front! Immediately the lamp comes on and Santiago frowns at me.“Alex? What... are you okay? “he questions, I look around and the bathroom door is on the other side.Shit!“Yeah! I was just testing how strong this wall was “ ironically, with my hand on my forehead, I only hear Santiago's laughter. Yes! What fun! I walk pissed off in the opposite direction, throwing everything in front of me, but I can't find anything to throw away, which pisses me off even more.Even the desire to pee went awa
