Fun In The Sand

Once we came into the door of his Casita, I checked his face and saw a red hand print. I felt  a strong guilt and tightly embraced him as a way of apologizing. "I am so sorry I wasn't there." 

"It's not your fault Reina." He told me with a small smile.

Bruno and I have been close friends since my gift ceremony. After he received his gift of predicting the future, things went well at first but when he gave predictions that people didn't want to hear, the village started to turn on him with a quickness. And I couldn't understand their judgment. It honestly upset me how the village only wanted to hear beautiful lies and reject ugly truths.

I suddenly got an idea. "Hey. Let's go to your room." I took his hand and we went upstairs. "Don't you have some things to do?" He asked me.

"I'll do it later." I opened the door to his room and slid down the sandy hill. God I loved this room. The desert has always been a favorite place of mine since I was young. Bruno followed after me. As we both laid there I had another idea. "Don't move ." I told him as I stood up.

"Why?" 

"I'll tell you." I walked over to him and sat on his chest. I noticed his immediate blush as I started playing with his hair. It was so soft and curly I can honestly play with those curls all day. "Reina? What are you doing? " I decided to play innocent. "There's some sand in your hair." I lied.

"Can you get off of me please?" He said with a bit of unsurety. Like he wanted me on top of him. God he sounded so cute. But I wasn't going to let this be so easy. "Let me think of it about it." I paused for a minute then laid down on top of him. We were now chest-to-chest and face-to-face.

 "No." 

"Get off of me Reina." He said with defiance in his voice. "Or you'll do what?" I wasn't scared but I was a bit intrigued of what he was going to do. He gave me an "I warned you" look and started tickling me. I screamed and immediately started laughing. I was laughing so hard I was losing my breath. Curse my sensitive skin! 

That gave him the opportunity to roll over and land on top of me and pin my hands to the side, preventing me from doing anything. "You win this time. Now let me go." I said.

"Let me think about it. No."

He threw my own words and actions in my face at that moment. I was a little annoyed but I was really holding myself back from kissing him right then and there. But I went on the defensive side and wanted to win this battle.

"Do you really want this sand to be hotter than it is?" 

"No ma'am" He immediately got off me and tripped over himself. Which was just so adorable. Before I was about to admit how cute he was, my brother Alejandro slid down and jumped into my arms. As much as I love him, I just wanted to bury him in the sand at that moment. "Alejandro, what are you doing here? Didn't mama ever teach you to knock?"

"Mama says you need to light up the lanterns. Stop making out with Bruno and let's go!" Alejandro grabbed my hand and started to physically pull me up the hill of sand. God how was a five-year-old so strong? Bruno looked back at me and gave me an awkward smile.

"I guess I'll see you tonight?" He asked. "Yes! And after the party we are going to have a rematch, and I am so going to win!" After we walked out of the door, I smacked Alejandro across the head. What the hell Alejandro!? I was only gone for fifteen minutes!"  

"Was I interrupting you and your boyfriend?" I smacked his head again in annoyance. "Bruno is not my boyfriend you little rat!" Alejandro continued. "Well he should be from the way you talk about him at home! You love him! Did he give you a vision? (Gasp) Are you two gonna married?" I was getting so fed up at this child. "Alejandro I swear to you-" 

"Who's getting married?" As fate may have it, Julieta, the oldest of the Madrigal triplets, just waltzes up to us with that famous smile of hers. "Julieta! Reina likes-"

I quickly put my hand over his mouth to stop him from completing that  sentence. I could not let him embarrass me today. "He's just so excited about his birthday that he just can't shut up. I think he needs to contain his energy for tonight, so we'll be leaving now." 

Now I was the one dragging him out of the Casita. Once we got home, I knelt on his level and held his shoulders."If you tell anyone what you just said at the party, I swear Alejandro, as soon as you get your gift, I will set your room on fire. Do you understand?" 

"Yes ma'am." He said in an intimidated manner. Thank God I had got my point across. "Now go take a bath. You're all sandy." He  started sprinting away to the washroom. 

As I started getting to work on the lanterns, I started to think. As much of an annoying scamp Alejandro was, he was right. Except the vision part. I would rather eat glass then ask Bruno for a vision. To be honest, I was scared for my future. What if we never get married? What if we marry other people? As much as I tried to suppress and hide it and try to say in my head "We're just friends" my heart only said the truth.

I am in love with Bruno Madrigal
