Siempre te voy a querer

Chapter 36

Practice was over, and Edson was gathering his things to go. As he walked through the hallways, he heard someone yell, "¡Edson!"

He turned around to see Jorge running away from Chucky. "Dime," Edson said, curious about what Jorge wanted to say.

Jorge was about to start talking when Chucky reached him, covering his mouth. "¡Cállate, baboso!" Chucky muttered playfully, giving Jorge a stern look.

"¿Qué pasa, Chucky?" Edson asked, now more curious than ever.

Chucky greeted Edson and quickly changed the topic. "Nada importante, solo que estábamos hablando de qué lugar podríamos ir a disfrutar el fin de semana. ¿Tienes alguna sugerencia?"

Jorge tried to mumble something under Chucky's hand, but it was muffled. Edson raised an eyebrow, sensing that something was off. "¿De verdad? ¿Eso era todo?" Edson asked, glancing between the two.

"Sí, sí," Chucky said, releasing Jorge and giving him a warning look. "¿Qué opinas, Edson? ¿Te unes?"

Edson shrugged, deciding to play along. "Claro, suena bien. ¿Qué lugar tienen en mente?"

Jorge, finally free from Chucky's grasp, gave him a side-eye but went along with the diversion. "Estábamos pensando en ese nuevo antro que abrieron cerca del estadio. Dicen que las bebidas están buenisimas."

"Perfecto, me mandan la información," Edson agreed, still feeling that something was off but choosing not to press further.

As they walked out of the training facility, Edson couldn't shake off the feeling that Jorge had something important to say. He made a mental note to ask him about it later when Chucky wasn't around. For now, he decided to go home and rest.

Edson arrived home, still pondering what Jorge might have wanted to say earlier. As he stepped inside, he found Isa already there, looking relaxed and content after her first day at work.

"¡Hola, Isa!" Edson greeted, dropping his bag by the door.

"¡Hola, Edson!" Isa replied with a bright smile. "¿Cómo te fue en la práctica?"

"Bien, como siempre," Edson said, walking over to join her in the living room. "¿Y a ti? ¿Qué tal tu primer día?"

Isa's eyes lit up as she started recounting her day. "Fue increíble. Me dieron un tour del hospital, conocí a mis compañeros de trabajo, y todos fueron súper amables. Hasta tengo mi propia oficina."

"¡Eso es genial, Isa! Sabía que te iría bien," Edson dijo, orgulloso de su hermana. "¿Y cómo es tu oficina?"

Isa se rió. "Es pequeña, pero perfecta para mí. Ya empecé a decorarla con algunas fotos y plantas. Estoy tan emocionada por empezar oficialmente."

"Me alegra mucho escuchar eso," Edson dijo, sonriendo. "¿Te hiciste amiga de alguien en particular?"

"Sí, hay una chica llamada Sofía que es muy simpática. Me estuvo mostrando los alrededores y me presentó a todos. Creo que vamos a llevarnos muy bien," Isa comentó.

"¡Qué bueno! Es importante tener a alguien con quien puedas contar en el trabajo," Edson responded.

The siblings kept talking about their day for a bit until they each went to their rooms and did their own things. Edson was trying to figure out what Jorge was going to say, while Isabella was making her schedule for tomorrow.

The siblings reunited for dinner and then went off to bed. They had a good day today, but they knew tomorrow would be better.

It was now Tuesday, and Isa and Edson found themselves slipping into the same routine as the day before. Isa went to work at the hospital, and Edson headed to practice. As Edson arrived at the training ground, he noticed a group of his teammates gathered in a circle, chatting animatedly.
