"So how long y'all been dating?" My tía asked Jahseh making him look over at her.
"It's almost been a year" he answered making her nod.
"So precious, I remember when my relationship was young" she spoke, wiping fake tears.
"no durará mucho" Mateo mumbled making my aunt smack the back of his head.
"no seas tan aguafiestas" she told him making him smack his teeth and Jahseh looked at me.
"My bad forget he doesn't speak two languages" Mateo teased Jahseh making him raise an eyebrow at him.
He chuckled a little "you don't like me do you?" He asked, staying calm.
"Honestly, no, Amia could do better" Mateo spoke making my mom sigh.
"What's wrong with me?" Jahseh asked, leaning back.
Mateo shrugged "you not right for Mia, she needs someone better and that's all the reason I have to give you" he told Jahseh and I shook my head.
"You think so Amia?" Jahseh looked at me, asking.
I sighed and shook my head making him nod.
"Okay guys drop the tension, let's eat" my mother spoke making me sigh in relief.
I looked down at my lap because I was nervous at the moment just for Jahseh's hand to land on my thigh. I rubbed his hand in comfort for myself before looking back at up at everyone.
Mateo was staring at me making sigh. I don't understand the problem right now. I mean I do but I don't. Like did he actually think me and him would happen one day? Or maybe he just genuinely doesn't like Jahseh. I don't know but it's making this whole dinner awkward.
"So we can have the burial at 9 and the celebration of life after including food" my tía spoke making my mom nod.
Everything is just so fucked up right now.
After dinner everyone sat and talked in the living room but I could still feel the tension between Jahseh and Mateo. It made me very uncomfortable to the point where I didn't want to sit here anymore.
So I didn't, I went and stood outside, trying to get fresh air. I was only on the porch by myself for a little before Jahseh came out.
"This not like your old neighborhood, you can't just come out here looking that good" he teased me making me blush.
"Seriously though you do stay in a different part, be careful around here" he told me, sitting down behind me and pulling me onto his lap.
"Your cousin hates me" he chuckled making me nod.
"Yeah he does" I sighed.
"It's cool though, everyone else likes me. Even though I'm pretty sure Manuel only likes me for my elephant tattoo" he chuckled.
"Yeah, he really likes elephants" I giggled before the door opened and Mateo walked out.
"Don't worry about me, just getting read-" he stopped himself and looked at Jahseh a little with squinted eyes which made Jahseh stand us up.
"You rap?" He asked Jahseh who shrugged.
"I make music" he told him and he nodded.
"X right?" He asked and Seh nodded slowly making him gasp.
"Wowww that shits crazy, you could've rocked me a long time ago" he spoke and Jahseh nodded.
"It's cool, you related to my girl you get one free pass" he spoke which made Mateo laugh but he held a serious face.
"Thanks for the pass bro but me and her not related" he told him making Jahseh raise an eyebrow and turn back to me before looking back at him.
"It's just a long story" he told him and before explaining everyone walked outside.
"You guys leaving?" I asked and my tía nodded, kissing my cheek.
"And I'm stealing your mom, we both need a break not your fault" my tía told me making me smile and nod.
I gave everyone hugs and kisses before going back into the house with Jahseh close behind.
"Not related?" He asked and I shook my head.
"I mean we are he's just weird and would like any tiny hole that makes it okay for incest" I explained making him look at me weirder.
"My tía married his dad after he was born and adopted him, he was like 1. So he's family" I told Jahseh who nodded.
I was just glad I calmed down that situation.
