So, we're up and about now. You're softly humming a song and drumming on the counter and egg cartons.
"Don't drum on the stove, Eo," I tell you.
"That would suck," tu laugh, enchanting my ears.
"And hurt,"
tu agree and flip the French Toast. I ask if tu want any help. tu say that you've got it, and I nod and say 'kay.
You're so cute. You're glowing, like when tu do when you're around children, animals, música o dancing. When you're yourself. Playing a game, just... Amazing.
I sense tu about to turn around, so I mess with the bowl of frutas on the table. I don't want tu to catch me staring... That'd be odd!
"Have any dreams?" tu ask. Your voice sounds like your facing me.
I blush. I'm not gonna tell tu about the dream. It's... Just no... "Not that I remember."
"Liar," tu laugh. "I know you."
"What dreams did you have?" I turn the answer onto you.
"New song and dance," tu say. "Now, your dream?" tu have that tell... me... the... secret look and tone of voice.
"What was the song?"
"Next week!" tu Smile. "Dream o no French toast!"
"Damn you," I stick my tongue out.
tu ruffle my hair. I blush and fix it. "It was about the guy I like..." Truth.
"And? Who is this guy?"
"I... I can't tell ya..."
"I wanna make sure he's right for you."
"You would approve," I give tu a thumbs up.
"How old is he?"
"You sound like my dad..."I roll my eyes. "Age is just a number, that's it. It's not important..."
"Older than 18?" tu ask, eyebrow raised.
What of tu put things together and find out it's you? I feel tears well up in my eyes.
"Hey," tu say, gently lifting my chin up with your finger. Your eyes are gentle and caring... Like tu understand. I try to look away cuz tu can read me like a book. "Look at me, Adds..." I can't help but Cry. "Love is blind... But... Are tu sure he's the one?"
"I-I-I..." tu come over and hold me in your warm, caring eyes. "I amor him so much..." I was so close to saying you.
"I don't want him to do anything innaproprate to you..."
"He wouldn't... I... I just don't know if he feels like I do..."
"Tell me about him... I'll talk to him." You'd be having a conversation with yourself.
I know you're trying to do good, but I just Cry harder. It's you. That's all I want to say. So Badly. So much. It hurts. I clutch onto tu like you're the only thing in the world. Because to me tu are. I want to be with tu so much... Yo wipe my eyes and gently rock me, whispering all the right things. Then tu kiss my tear-stained cheek. "Whatever Happens, Addiline, I'll always amor you... más than the sun and the stars. más than anyone. Even más than Diana! But don't tell her I dicho that."
I chuckle. But my corazón is pounding, fluttering. mariposas are invading my stomach.
Your amor for Diana is stong, but tu dicho tu amor me more. tu hold me close. tu gently say me me how I feel towards you. How you're Happier when I'm around and sadder when I'm not. "And I want tu to know, if anyone hurts tu , it'll be their ass."
"Michael..." I manage. "You know all those things tu said?"
"Those things that I meant every word about?" tu ask, moving my hair from my face.
I nod, sniffing. "I... I feel the same way..."
15 and 28... That maybe 13 years, but who cares?
tu hold me close. I hug tu tight. A giant weight has been lifted... "I amor tu so much..." I murmur. "I just... wish we were closer in age, so it wouldn't be weird for the family..."
"I know..." Your voice is shakey with emotion. tu tremble. I don't want tu to tremble, so I hold tu even tighter. "Three years..." tu but your lips to my cheek. Shivers. "But, I'm so Happy tu amor me the way I amor you. I could care less about what anybody else thinks.
So, now we're watching TV. I'm cuddled in your arms. Safe, warm, loved. I kiss your hand and tu Smile. I tell tu how beautiful your Smiles are. tu blush, thank me, and then compliment mine.
The phone rings, and tu reluctantly go pick it up.
"Hello?" tu say. ... Then tu get this saddened look on your face. "I'm so sorry... Do tu wanna talk to A-"
I get up, worried. What happened? I mouth, corazón getting that holy-sh!t-what-happened?! panicky feeling. tu point to the phone. i nod.
"... Yes ma'am, I will." You're so polite! "Wait- No, no ma'am!" tu even sound polite in your WTFNO! voice. "I mean... No, it's not that, it's just..." This sounds awkward. What is she saying?! "I never dicho that..."
I take the phone away. "Mom! What the stuff?!"
She respuestas in an odd tone, that sounds really familiar. "Honey, give the phone back to Michael..."
"Methinks you're makin him feel weird. What happened?" tu envolver, abrigo your arms around me, gently stroking my hair and giving me Butterflies.
Mom's silent for a moment. "I'll tell tu when I come to pick tu up."
"Mom, please?" I ask.
"No." She says firmly. "Give the phone back to Michael.
"Don't make him feel awkward," I tell her.
"Kay,"
I hand tu the phone and tu say Hello. I can't hear Mom talking but, judging from your corazón rate, she's got somethin' up. "Linda, I don't think-" I feel tu tense. I Hold your free Hand, and tu relax a little. "Linda, let it wait a little while... No... She's right here." tu squeeze my hand. "Okay... Your mother wants tu to go upstairs and make sure tu have everything.
"Tell her I do," I kiss your hand.
tu put the phone to my ear. "I just don't want her eavesdropping..." I roll my eyes. "Let me tell 'er..." tu put your hand over the reciever and kiss my forehead. I kiss your cheek and reluctantly go upstairs.
"Don't drum on the stove, Eo," I tell you.
"That would suck," tu laugh, enchanting my ears.
"And hurt,"
tu agree and flip the French Toast. I ask if tu want any help. tu say that you've got it, and I nod and say 'kay.
