♥️ Chapter 9: Lucio and Crystal

Separator...

Heading towards Crystal's house as Lucio sat shotgun next to his madre, he couldn't help himself, nervousness crept in because of so many thoughts keep running through his mind like, am I dressed to her satisfaction, will I be enough for her? What will happen to both of us after this? Will both of us make it out of this not like Kayla and Carry? Talking about Carry, he completely forgot to ask his macho to see how he is feeling, especially to see what the hell happened between both of them and his unexpected meeting with Griselda, but as he started to ponder it further, his mother snapped him out of his thoughts and said, "Lucio!"

"Wha?" He nearly jumped out from his seat.

"Estás sacudiendo este auto como si estuviéramos atravesando un terremoto." Which of course, he translated his mother's Spanish into English which, she said, "You're shaking this car like if we're driving through an earthquake." Chuckling to her sudden outburst, she continued on by saying, "si sigues sacudiendo la pierna, incluso podrías despertar a Iztaccíhuatl."." Again, he translated, "if you keep shaking your leg, you might even wake up Iztaccíhuatl."

Laughing at her antics knowing that she has a grin on her lips which told him that she wasn't taking it too heart, he says in Spanish, "lo siento mamá. Estoy un poco... nervioso por nuestra primera cita. No sé cómo irá. ¿Me veo bien? ¿Necesito una menta?" In English, he said, "sorry ma, I'm just a little... jittery for our first date. I don't know how it's going to go. Do I look alright? Do I need a mint?"

Slapping her son over the leg playfully, she says in broken English, "no Lucio, you look fine. I cannot wait to meet senorita Crystal. Maybe you and her can make me eluela with a couple of bebés."

Chuckling to his mother asking him to already give her grandchildren, his relationship between his madre and himself is very good like both of them are best friends. Although his mother is from Guatemala Mexico and his father is in the state capital of Spain, with both mother and father, he has a healthy relationship between both of them. Whenever he needs some inspiration, normally his father would give him sayings from his homelands while his mother uses metaphors from her own household and normally, it never fails him and as his mother told him that they were about 10 minutes out, feeling his heart beat hard in his chest, accessing his device from his watch then with the sound of his voice-over appearing through his headphones and with the device placing the screen in front of his eyes, typing out a message to Crystal. Less than 5 minutes later, she told him that she will wait for him outside. Dismissing his device, telling his mom that she will be waiting outside for them, and as they got close, his mother said in Spanish that she sees her in a beautiful sparkly periwinkle dress with her black hair in a loose ponytail.

Looking at her pail complexion and her short slim frame, his mother said, "no español?"

"Eh... un poquito." He says as they came closer down her block. Switching to English, he said, "I do not really know what she is."

"Una mujer." She chuckled being a smart ass again which made him chuckle even more.

"I know that. I don't know her nacionalidad."

"Well, you do know how to catch the cute one's, Lucio. She looks encantadora with her rosa roja en su cabello."

Feeling his cheeks burn up like a burning flame twice this day. First with Candice, then now with his mother, then when his mother parked into her drive and seeing her house, a gasp of shock escaped her lips and when Lucio was about to ask, Crystal stepped to the open window on Lucio's side, she said, " welcome to my miner mansion."
