PERFECT

34

Well...Tito..hmmm..Tita..Jho and I wanted to uhh...tell you that...uhhh..Bea began stuttering and turning red and I'm pretty sure she began to sweat. Bea turned to look at me asking for help.

Pa...Ma...what Beatriz trying to say is..uuuhhh..." I couldn't say it I was to scared. I closed my eyes and take a deep breath. "Beatriz is my girlfriend"

I saw my father drop his fork on his plate he pushed his plate forward and crossed his arms placing them on the table. My mom had a small smile but kept quite waiting for my father's reaction.

My father sighed and looked between Bea and I with a sad expression. He scratched the back of his head not knowing what to do.

"Cute couple"

Is that it? He's not going to freak out or anything? Well okay then.

Do you want me to give you a punch in the face? My father asked Bea.

Well I was expecting one. Bea's said. Is she dumb or something? Beatriz you are definitely the stupidest person.

Come with me. My father said as he stood from his seat and went out the back door. Beatriz give me a scared look and slowly walked behind him waving at me shyly.

I sat with my mom in silent. I know it won't take long until she starts....

When did this happen? She went back to eat as if nothing had happened.

Uhh..well we made it official last night. But we kind of giving some signals? Or something like that. I just know that feeling was mutual and...

I know something was up between you two. You look at each other the same way your father look at me. I like Bea for you Jho. She's really responsible and lovely person. I know she'll take care of you.

I tried to peek a look through the glass door that lead to the back yard where Bea and my father were.

They were only standing there bouncing there basketball around and shooting it. What are they talking about? I then saw my father sit down in a lawn chair and Beatriz following behind sitting on the one next to him. He then got up and disappeared. He sat back down and handed her what looks like...a..beer? Beer? Beatriz can't drink a beer yet. Bea took it but she didn't drink from it.

Jho, don't worry he's just talking to her. He won't really give her a punch on the face. My mom giggled at her own comment.

I turned back to look at what they where doing. Nothing. Just sitting and talking I think. I was getting tired of waiting. I went back to eat but I was still concerned about them.

Beatriz and my father walked in taking there seats and went back to eat. My father looked up at me and smiled nodding his head and nodded towards Beatriz and give me a thumbs up.

I smiled and turned to Bea. She turned to look at me and blushed giving me a small smile.

So Bea, do you think you and Jho will be joining us to visit my mother in law this weekend? My father ask Bea. Why is he asking her?

Uhh..Jho? She turned to look at me for my approval. I shrugged.

"I guess we will"
