Love Hacienda

Chapter 4

*** This is How I see Vincenzio in My Mind's eye❤****

Vicenzio's P.O.V

Vincenzio stood at the window of His Rooms looking out at the expanse of the Coffee Fields.He was almost fully dressed for the new day.A teenage farmboy came into his Rooms with his polished boots.

"Put my boots by the Bed,Salvadór" Vincenzio said while still looking out of the window at Rafael and Marcós out supervising the farm hands on the field.

"Si Senór" The boy replied bobbing his head.The boy dropped the boots and exited the room quietly.

Vincenzio,with a pensive look on his face went to his bed and sat down to lace his boots.He was thinking about his outing with Mariá and her friends the night before.

They had gone to The Tasca almost immediately after dinner with the encouragement of His Parents.He had had mixed feelings about going but remembered Marcós' expression when he was looking at Maria earlier in the day and decided to accompany His Woman.
They drank and danced and sang together and it seemed as if everything was okay but He couldn't help but feel tense everytime Marcós danced with Maria.He knew the Bastard wasnt giving up yet and it irked him!Even though Marcós came with Another girl who worked on the Haçienda called Fernanda he still couldn't get comfortable.Maria appeared to be totally oblivious to his feelings on the matter (which he was grateful for).She and Aná had danced with Rafaél with a lot of merriment.He loved watching how happy and free she was.She was like an alluring Siren.So beautiful and with the most seductive singing voice.He was content to just watch her dance but she made sure to dance with him and infect him with her joy.
They had come home together slightly drunk but very happy and after a lot of kisses,he had badly wished they were married already.

"I must speed this courtship along" he thought, "I need Mariá so badly,I can almost taste it"

He finished up his dressing quickly and left his Rooms.He wanted to speak to his parents during breakfast and knew if he didnt hurry,his father would leave the Haçienda on Business.

"Ah Mi Hijo,Good morning" Isabél said as He entered the dining room.She was drinking coffee and her plate of eggs was almost empty.

"Good Morning,Mamá" said Vincenzio, "Where is Papá and everybody else? "

"Your Papá went to Senór Cortez's Haçienda for a meeting and I sent Maria and Orqediá for a fitting at Madame Mariposa's" said Isabel while gesturing with her Ostrich Feather Hand Fan.She looked very Distinguished and Beautiful as she gestured to her Son to sit by her side .

"I must have overslept,I wanted to speak to Papá before he left and take Maria for a ride this morning" said Vincenzio as he sat by his mother.

A small dark boy materalized suddenly in front of him with a plate of Eggs,Bacon and Beans.Vincenzio began to eat as the boy poured steaming hot coffee into a cup for him.

"Gracias " said Vincenzio as he waved the boy away with a movement of his hand .

" Ah Son,you are not re-accustomed to how early we wake up on the Hacienda"

" No mamá,that's not it,I think I'm probably tired from my outing with Maria last night" said Vincenzio with a sip of his coffee.

"Did you enjoy yourself Hijó?" said Isabel as she gestured to the small boy to refill her coffee cup.

"Yes and No " said Vincenzio turning to face his mother

Isabél looked at her Son in confusion "How so Mi Amor?"

Vincenzio was quiet for a few seconds before saying " I enjoyed watching Maria dance and sing with her friends,I danced and sang with her as well but I wasn't happy seeing the way Marcós keeps looking at Maria. I think he's in love with her"
