Chapter 11 (Cuba)

CHAPTER 11

Arriving to Cuba was so peculiar. Seeing Trevante connect back with his roots was a sight to see. I just kept quiet and watched how he interacted with people. His Spanish was good in fact it was very good. He said he wasn't fluent but I couldn't tell.

The first place he took me to was his sisters house. As soon as I arrived I noticed the architecture around Cuba was similar yet so different to Florida. Some houses were big but most were small. Me and Tre took a taxi down to his sister's house in a nearby village. Her house happened to be the blue house on left.

As soon as we walked in I realized how much bigger the house was on the inside than it was on the outside. We walked in and saw his sister who reminded me so much of Trevante. Tre's sister was ecstatic to see him.

" Oh my goodness. You're nieces and nephews have been asking about you since you left the last time. Comeee in make yourselves at home. ¿Es ella? ella es preciosa !!!", said Tre's aunt as she pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back as I laughed. I wasn't much of a hugger but for her I'd make an exception.

" Abuela called me and told me that she met her while she was bleeding out on the couch. OH DIOS MIO. Are you okay Bonita? Are you healing well ? ", said Tre's sister.

" Yes I'm going just fine. It's healing pretty fast. She's just like a real doctor. Where did she learn that ", I said.

" She used to be a nurse ", said Tre's sister in her Cuban accent.

" The kids are in the backyard. Go surprise them after you finish getting situated in the back room. It's the blue room on the left ", said Tre's aunt.

Tre grabbed our bags and led me to the spare room. Despite how old the room was I love it. Something about the color made me feel happy. And happiness is what I'm looking for right now.

I found it so authentic of him to not rent a hotel but to rather stay with his own family. It showed how humble he was. I liked how everybody lived in close proximity to each other. It made them care.

We sat down our bags and sat on the bed to talk for a few moments.

" I have 1 niece and 2 nephews. Lourdes who is 10 Hugo who is 8 and Juan who is 1 and a half. There outside and they didn't think I was coming to see them so early so they'll be happy to know I'm here. They've been asking about you too. It's rare that I have a girlfriend so they've been excited to meet you for some time now ", said Tre.

" That means you've been talking about me then ", I said with a smirk.

" I do ", said Tre. He held his hand out and I took it as we walked outside to see a group of kids sitting outside.

As Tre walked outside the children flocked towards him. He took the girl and put her on his shoulders. He picked up the boy as he dangled off of his big biceps like monkey bars. I laughed at the sight. He must have been a really good uncle.

" TIO, TIOOOO!!", yelled the children from excitement. Tre just let out a deep chuckle as the kids climbed on him.

I felt a felt something tug at my pant leg. I looked down to see a brown skinned and big eyed child looking up at me with a finger in his mouth. He looked like he hadn't been walking that long. This must be Juan.

" Hi baby ", I said while looking down at Juan who was now smiling at me while gripping my ankle.

" Awwww ", I said as I picked him up into my arms and put him on my hip. He took his hands and covered his face. I laughed at his shy antics.

" Wassup ladies man ", said Tre as he kissed Juan on his cheek over and over again.

" He is so cute. I want him ", I said while looking at Juan who was now tugging at my hair.
