Chapter 23: Dinner with her papi

"Come in!"

Surprised by seeing mom enter my room with a goofy grin. She closed the door and scooted next to me on the bed.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" My voice laced with suspicion.

She gasped.  " '¡Pero que! ¿Por qué una madre no puede visitar a su hija en su cuarto?' (Oh my! Why can't a mother visit their daughter at their room?)"

I gave her a look.

"Ok ok. 'solo quería hablar sobre Ian.' (I wanted to talk about Ian!)" She said cheerfully.

I groaned. "Can't it wait? I'm tired." This was not a lie.

She groaned. "Nooo. ' ¡Yo quiero hablar ahora!' (I want to talk now.)" She whined like a little girl.

I rolled my eyes an sat up. "Ok. Shoot then."

She rose an eyebrow. "'¿Disparar? ¿Disparar a qué? (Shoot? Shoot what?)"

I chuckled and ignored that question. "What do you want to know?"

She smiled and started.

" '¿Desde cuando él te gusta?' (since when do you like him?)"

I whistled. "For a long time..."

" '¿Meses de largo o semanas de largo?' (Months long time or Weeks long time?)" She asked grinning.

I smiled cheaply. "Yeah... Years a long time."

She gasped. " '¿Por qué nunca me habías dicho eso?' (Why didn't you tell me?!)"

I gave her another one of my looks. She sighed. "Sí, por ser tu madre y bla bla bla bla. ¡Pero! Mírame como una de tus amigas. Piensa que soy Keithlin, sé que es buena en los bochinches.' (Yeah, being your mom and blah blah blah. But! Think of me as one of the girls. Think of me like Keithlin, I know she's a gossiper.)"

I chuckled. "Ok. Next question please."

She smiled mischievously. " '¿Cómo se conocieron? O mejor dicho ¿Cuándo fue la primera vez que hablaron? (How did you meet, or better said, when did you talk to him for the first time?)"

I smiled. "I actually talked to him for the first time because I fell down the stairs with him the first day of High school."

She chuckled. " 'Wow. Clase primer impacto.' (Talk about first impact)

"Next question!" I chuckled. I wanted to get to the point, since my mind wants to shut down and go to sleep.

" ¿Cómo llegaste a conocerlo mejor? (How did you get to know him better?)"

I thought. "Well, It was more on Sara's family reunion. He was there and we started to talk. I learned he was Sara's cousin and many things about him."

Mom smiled. " 'Qué dulce.' (How sweet!)"

I smiled. "Yeah. He is. *yawn*"

Mom chuckled and kissed my head. "Bueno, pues buenas noches. Ya veo que estas cansada. Te quiero mucho.' (Well, Good night then. I see you're really tired. Love you.)"

"Love you too mom." She kisses my cheek as she puts my blankets over me. She leaves just as I fall asleep.
