Amelia's pov
"Alex wake up love" I said shaking him off me or attempting to
" five more minutes Ami" he mumbled into my neck
"No I have to peeeeeeeee" I said dragging it out and pushing him
He finally let's go yay!
Later in the Alvarez house
"Listen up, grunts." Penelope yelled, getting our attention"In 55 minutes, we have the final venue walkthrough And you hear that rumble? Oh, yeah. That's the sound of 183 Cubans arriving in Los Angeles. Seventeen of whom will be staying in this room."
"Er... Fire code-wise, I don't think that's gonna-" my dad started
"Shut it!" Penelope yelled
We all looked ahead awkwardly, avoiding the stare of Penelope
"I am going on no sleep and five Cuban coffees. Do you really want to mess with me right now?" She questioned
"No, ma'am." He replied, nervously sinking deeper into the couch
"As head of transpo you have one job. Get the Cubans to and from the airport. I hope you brushed up on your Spanish." Penelope said
"Claro que sí." He said
I hide my face into Alex's neck as I laugh.He rubs my side trying to hide his smile as he stared down at me. Have I mentioned that he grew a lot we used to be a couple of inches apart but now HES like a whole foot
"I want it on the record that your tone is very annoying." Lydia spoke up, interrupting her daughter's rampage
"Okay. You're kidding me, right? The day of my quinces, you screamed at Tía Mirtha because she brought hot pink balloons instead of fuchsia." Penelope argued
"Fuchsia is a royal color! Hot pink is what a girl wears on a spring break, before flashing her tetas." Lydia said
Alex turned to me when they started arguing, "you will not be doing that" he said tightening his grip on me. I make sure no one is watching and kiss his cheek closer to his lips
Penelope turned to me and Alex, "Oye, why aren't you filming this?"
"You want me to film you two arguing? I have hours of that.In here." He said, pointing to his head
"Elena, your dress is in the closet. If you should happen to find a straight jacket there, please bring it out here, for your crazy Mami." Lydia joked
I hide my face back into Alex's neck
Alex and I followed Elena to video tape her looking at her dress, while everyone stayed in the living room to argue more about absolute nonsense.
A few minutes later, I had helped Elena into her dress and we followed her to the living room where Lydia and Penelope cheered in excitement.
"Thank you so much, Abuelita. It's beautiful." Elena smiled
"What's wrong with it?" Lydia asked, despite the teen girl's smile
"Nothing. I'm happy, l'm smiling." Elena insisted
"Exactly. You are not sobbing with joy. I have failed you. I have failed my family. I have failed Cuba." Lydia declared dramatically.
I ran to Alex's room no longer able to hide my laugh
