Cristina POV
My shift was finally over after 7 hours of standing there waiting for customers. Also, it's been 6 hours since that encounter as well, and I can't stop thinking about it. As I'm walking to the house, I see Angelo and Emanuel walking out. I speed walk over to them and greet them.
"Hey, cousin, " Angelo says, bringing me into a hug. "Hi Cristina," I look down at Emanuel, who seems to be holding a big smile and eyes full of excitement. I pick him up and carry him, and he wraps his tiny hands around my neck for a hug. "You seem to be in a good mood Emanuel, " I pinch his cheek.
"We are getting ice cream." He says happily.
"Oh really, and you aren't getting any for your cousin," I say, pouting.
He looks over to Angelo, and he lets out a chuckle. "Cristina, would you like to go with us" turning his head to face me. I nod yes and tell them in going to say hi to my mom quickly. I put Emanuel down and quickly rush inside and say hi to my aunt; then, I start looking for my mom. I run outside to the garden and see my mom watering the plants, and I run up to her.
"Mami ya llegue, " I give her a big hug, and she returns it. "Donde esta mi papa?" I question. She turns off the water and wraps up the hose. "Trabajando dice que todo le fue bien y le gusta, " she smiles. I smile back and quickly remember about Angelo and Emanuel. I tell my mom where I'm going and kiss her forehead. I run out and catch up with the boys. (mom, I'm here) (where's dad?) (working, he said everything went well and he likes it)
"I'm here now," I say, trying to catch my breath. "Let's go before it gets late." We start walking towards the ice cream shop, and soon as we begin crossing the street, a black Mercedes comes speeding towards us, and we quickly jump back. I look over to Emanuel, who's has a face full of fear. I quickly walk over to the driver's side of the car and knock. The person inside decides to ignore my knocks, so I begin to knock harder. The driver starts to lower the window, and I couldn't believe it.
It's him
His clear blue eyes stare back at me and let me say this man is intimidating. We stare at each other for some time, and I quickly break the eye contact. He seems to be upset, maybe something at work, but why would he try and hit us.
"Are you insane, " was the first thing that came out of my mouth. I soon regretted that when his jaw clenched, and he seemed to be getting angrier. He just kept looking at me, so I wave my hand in front of him. I feel his hand grip my wrist pulling me closer. We're a couple of inches away from touching faces, and my eyes quickly go wide. His eyes seem to darken to a darker shade, and he whispers something over to me.
"Watch your mouth, Chula, " he says with a low scary voice. With that, he lets go of my wrist, and I see Angelo run over to my side to pull me back. Before Angelo tries and says something, he drives off. I look over to Angelo, who seems to be furious, and I hold his hand to calm him down. We shake it off and continue walking over to the ice cream shop. We order our ice creams and quickly take a seat by the window. As we waited, Angelo kept asking me if I was ok and kept replying with the same answer each time, 'im OK'.
"I know I'm getting annoying but are you ok?" he stares at me with a concerned look. I look over to him, and he immediately knows what I'm about to say. "Cristina, by any chance, do you know that man?" I choke on my saliva and quickly looked up at him, ready to answer when our order was called. He quickly goes over to the counter to grab them.
I had three encounters with that man, and two weren't the best, and one of them was alright, I guess. He seems to appear everywhere I go. This last encounter had me a bit frightened. I was excited when he offered me a job, but now with the bit of stunt, he pulled I wasn't sure about showing up. I didn't have a choice though, it seems to be an excellent company, and the pay is ideal according to my research.
I should give him a call tomorrow after my shift.
Angelo quickly returns with our ice creams, and I begin to dig in. I got two scoops which were vanilla and cookie dough. Cookie dough is so good. Well, to me, I don't know about other people. I look over to Emanuel and see chocolate all around his mouth, and I smile. I bet he's enjoying that ice cream.
"So I heard Rafael is back, " he says, playing with his ice cream. He looks up at me, and I nod since my mouth is full of ice cream. He's known my best friend for quite some time. When we would go over and visit, he would tag along and play video games with him. He bought a house nearby the area after hearing what happened to my home. "When did he come?"
I swallow my ice cream, "Today, " I reply. I wipe my mouth with a napkin and put it down. "He went to go see me at the coffee shop, but he didn't stay for long." I look down and play with my ice cream. "So I heard you got a job. How is it?"
"It's pretty good I like it" he scoops some ice cream into his mouth. He quickly swallows the ice cream, "it's a small accounting firm not far from here. My uncle also got one, but the account he works at is much more significant. We might team up."
"No way, " a small smile forms on my face. I'm happy to hear they both got a job. I haven't been able to seen my dad much ever since he got the new job and I usually work longer hours at the shop. I wonder what company he works at? Hmm, well, at least he likes it
