Flower Girl. (Chris Evans)

Chapter 15

FLOR.

I feel like an idiot, I literally made my mom come to the states for a few days just so she could help me get over a breakup and turns out I broke my heart but thinking without asking.

"Perdón mami, no debí hacerte venir por esto."
(Sorry mommy, I shouldn't have made you come her for this.)

"Mi niña, necesito que me expliques qué pasó."

(My little girl, I need you to explain what happened.)

"Chris y yo estuvimos juntos, por unos meses, el tenía que irse de viaje por trabajo pero decidió esperarse a decirme la noche antes de su vuelo." I take a deep breath. "Decidimos terminar la relación pero quedar como amigos, solo que el lo tomo bastante mal y empezó a tener problemas con su ansiedad. Robert hablo conmigo y aprovechando que yo estaba en Atlanta ayude a que Chris saliera de su crisis, desde entonces volvimos a hablar como cuando estábamos juntos pero nunca tuvimos la conversación de que éramos."

(Chris and I were together, for a few months. He had to leave for work in another city but we decided to wait until the night before his flight.
We decided to end the relationship but stay as friends, he took it pretty badly and start to have really bad anxiety Robert talked with me and since I was in Atlanta, I helped ease Chris' crisis, since then we've been talking but we never had what are we talk.)

"¿Y qué pasó entonces?" My mom is the greatest person ever, she won't ask you why you didn't tell her something, she'll just keep going forward to fix the situation.
(What happened then?)

"Mami solo te dire esto porque Chris lo aprobó, pero no puedes decirle a nadie." She lifts her pinky and I do the same, even though I'm not a child anymore, we know that promises are not to break. "Entonces el asistente personal de Chris solicitó que le hiciera un arreglo floral a una mujer... de parte de Chris." She opens her eyes widely "Pero resulta que esa persona es su terapeuta. Y yo solo mal interprete las cosas, no puedo creer que llore tanto por un malentendido."

(Mommy, I'm only telling you this because Chris said it's okay but you can't tell anyone.
His PA solicit a flower bouquet for a girl ... from Chris.  But turns out that person is his therapist. I just misinterpreted things; I can't believe I cried so much over a misunderstanding.)

She sighs before speaking "me da gusto que esa situación fuera un malentendido pero no creo que llorarás por eso. Lloraste por la relación fallida, lloraste porque lo extrañabas, extrañas estar con el, lloraste porque estás enamorada."

(I'm glad that the situation was a misunderstanding, but I don't believe you cried over that. You cried for the failed relationship, you cried because you missed him, you miss being with him, you cried because you're in love.)

I take her hands in mine before chuckling "si, creo que tienes razón, estoy enamorada."
(Yes, I believe you're right, I'm in love.)

She smiles and places a kiss on my forehead "y con la manera en que vino cuando se entero que algo estaba pasando, se enfrentó a tu hermana, se presento conmigo y se quedó a explicarte todo, creo que demuestra que está interesado, pero la mirada que te da yo se que significa que el también está enamorado."

(And with the way he came running here when he found out something was going on, how he face your sister, he introduced himself to me and he stayed to explain everything to you shows interest. But I can see it in his eyes, he's also in love.)
