Revolution

CHAPTER 21

It is Sunday afternoon and today I will meet my mother's fiancé, I am dressed in a red dress, I want to be presentable, I do not want to ridicule my mother. The table is ready with fruit and other dishes prepared by Sara and me.

Sara has shown it off and it is to be expected; Who will be her husband will come today to have lunch with her son, I hope we get along well and that my mother and I go through the abandonment issue again.

Mom appears and looks spectacular, she has a navy blue dress with rhinestones that falls to her feet but does not touch the ground, giving her lightness as she walks, her hair falls to the sides marking her face and she wears a simple makeup worthy of her.

"Let's wait for the guests, honey," she says.

- Yes mother.

Shortly after we heard a car park in front, it's show time.

They knock on the door and I will quickly open it; I meet a light-skinned man, he's wearing a suit with a tie, he's a bit tall, his hair is slicked back without letting a strand escape; I notice her companion and she was stunned; can not be.

Steven

- Hello, come on in - I salute coming out of my astonishment.

- Hello dear, Ciara right? Jade talks a lot about you, I'm Alexander and he is my son - introduces himself.

- Steven - I finish for him.

-  They know each other ? - Alex asks surprised.

- Yes, we go to the same school - Steven answers.

-  Where is she ? - I know you mean mom.

- He's waiting for us in the dining room, follow me.

Mom greets Alex with a kiss and I'm just thinking that the boy who declared his love for me will now be my older stepbrother. We eat and talk.

- Tell me about yourself Ciara - Alex is interested.

- Am ... I am an only child, I am 17 years old, we moved here months ago, I was born on August 30 and I will be a great language teacher.

- Are you doing well at school? Does my son bother you? I know it can be a hateful thing - he refutes.

- The school is perfect; Regarding Steven I think we are both still surprised by the wedding - I say nervous.

Alex goes on to tell us how he asked for Mom's hand: it was on a trip to meet each other, he couldn't take it anymore, he took her to a fair, they went up on the wheel of fortune and on top with the nerves of the heights he asked her to marry him.

-  When is the wedding ? Do they already have a date? - I ask.

- We think at the end of classes, for the summer holidays - answers my mother.

- Yes, what do children think? Because I can call you daughter, right? - He asks addressing me - we will be family.

- Sure.

- And your son, what do you think?
- I still think the same about this matter and I don't want to be her brother. - Steven snaps, retreating.

- It's okay, it's one of his tantrums - he downplays it.

What did you think of Alex honey? - Mom asks, being alone, it's eight o'clock at night and we finish eating the leftovers of the food.

- You can see that he is a good man, mom, congratulations on your wedding.

- Thank you, you will be my wedding dress consultant. Do you like it?

- Love it.

- Go to sleep, it's late - my mother sends.

- It's Sunday. Why don't we see a movie?

- Okay, choose yours.

- Hhhhhmmmm I don't know, Under the same star?

- We're going to cry, but it's okay.

I always cry with this movie, but after a while my mother and I ended up asleep on the couch.
