Paloma took a deep breath and walked away from the mirror, "I am ready to go," Paloma took his arms.Diego and Paloma, walked into his mothers house, "Hello Ms. Delgado, how are you? It is nice to see you again."
"I am fine," in a cold tone and turned to Diego with a smile on her face, "Diego go sit down in the den, Paloma can help me in the kitchen, everything is almost ready," his mother said
"Of course Ms. Delgado," Paloma let go of Diegos arm and followed her to the kitchen.
They walked into the kitchen where Consuela was already finishing up.
"Hello Paloma, I am almost done here, then we can sit down to eat," Consuela said.
Consuela started to clean up and dropped a cup on the floor completely shattering it, "Oh, I'm sorry."
"Your useless, your so stupid, you can never do anything right," Inez sneered at Consuela.
Paloma was shocked at the way Inez talked to her daughter, "Consuela are you ok, let me help you," she bent over to pick up the big pieces.
"Mom, calm down, it's just a cup," Consuela looked embarrassed by her mothers reaction.
Diego came into the kitchen, What happened?"
"I broke a glass, I will sweep it up. Thank you for helping me pick it up Paloma," Consuela grabbed the broom and the dustpan.
"It's almost done, Diego, go sit at the table, dessert is nearly ready," Inez said, "I will serve the dishes and we can bring them out."
"Would you like me to take the drinks to the table, mom?" Consuela asked her mother.
"Yes, Consuela, please use your brain," Inez said.
Consuela grabbed the pitcher and glasses and walked out to the dinning room .
Inez began to serve the dishes, she tsked, "It is sad to see young girls like you that don't know how to do anything. How will you take care of my Diego if you don't know how to do anything, it is because everything has always been done for you. I am sure you have never lifted a finger."
Paloma shook her head, "Actually, Ms. Delgado, I know how to do many things, you make assumptions without knowing me."
"A rich girl like you has no business with my son, he needs a simple hard working girl that knows how to cook, clean and take care of my son, he will never find someone like that. Only I know how he likes thing done and what's best for him."
"Your saying that no girl is good enough for your son? Paloma asked.
"Yes, you are not good enough for my son, you are a useless girl that will nev-."
"Mom stop, thats enough, I did not bring Paloma here to be insulted by you. I thought we talked about this, mom," Diego said.
"Paloma, I'm so sorry," he grabbed took Palomas hand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize your mother felt that way, I think we just need to get to know each other better, lets get the food on the table and we can talk about it."
Diego smiled, "yes, lets do, thank you Paloma for understanding."
Paloma tried telling Inez about herself and make light conversation with her, but she kept a cold hard face, she never once smiled at Paloma.
Consuela and Paloma talked and giggled and became closer, they agreed to meet another day for lunch and offered to go with her to her next appointment.
