adelaide sauntered up toward her front porch with her house keys jangling in hand. flashing her head over her shoulder, adelaide's chestnut colored hair flew briskly against the mexico city wind. looking behind her, she beholded the sight of her boyfriend across the pavement, who was opening the white mailbox at her driveway.
"c'mon, slowpoke! you take forever, amor [love]!" the girl beamed as she inserted her keychain into the front door's lock.
"one second! i'm here, adel! i'm just getting your mail!" alex proclaimed to his girlfriend before slipping his hand into the metal box. acquiring the small amount of letters, packages, and packets in the mail drop, the black haired boy swiftly closed the mailbox door shut before jogging up to adelaide's house.
plopping her black jansport backpack at the foot of the front door entryway, adelaide rolled her shoulders in discomfort from walking with a heavy bookbag for so long. as she kicked off her black sneakers, the chestnut haired girl watched alex sprint past the front doorframe and into the kitchen; which was a typical sight to see when the pair walked home from school together. with a giggle, adelaide had heard alex already rustling through her refrigerator and grabbing an afterschool snack.
"hey, amor [love]? while you're at the fridge, can you get me a water please?" adelaide inquired as she walked up to her kitchen countertop. once tossing her house keys onto the white counter, the chestnut haired girl plopped herself onto one of her grey barstools while adoring her boyfriend from across the kitchen.
"of course, hermosa [beautiful]," the black haired boy chirped before emitting a closed smile and sliding a chilled, plastic water bottle against the granite.
as adelaide unlatched the plastic bottle cap from its container, she furrowed her eyebrows before rolling her tense shoulders once more. "you know what, alex? i wish my mamá would just let me buy a car already so that we can drive ourselves home from school everyday. plus, the shoulder pain that i undergo from walking with my 70 pound backpack is unbearable," the girl whined prior to massaging her taut muscles.
alex admired and watched his girlfriend slowly turn her lips downward, portraying a cute pout across her face from the muscle soreness in her shoulder blades. with a smile still plastered amongst his own lips, the boy jeered, "are you telling me that you don't like walking with me to and from school everyday?" shaking his head in playful disappointment, alex satirized, "wow, just tell me that you don't love me to my face, yeah? go ahead and pour more salt into my wounds, would you?"
