Two weeks ago we all went to the beach after that party. We haven't gone out on anymore double dates or any dates at all. The only time I see Maria is when we're at school or I'm driving her to or from school, which I do three days out of five. I'm guessing her dad takes Lily and Marco the other three days since they only come on one of the days with her.
"Hey James, what's up." I look at him.
"Nothing much, Mae and I are going on a date tonight. What's up with you. How are you and Maria doing?"
"Good, the only time we've hung out since we went to the beach is at school. I should set up a date with her." Maybe I shouldn't though. I don't know, im gonna do it.
"You should, it would be a good idea. Moving on from that, you should let me ride your bike." He proposes.
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"You won't give in will you?"
"No,so stop asking."
With a big sigh he mutters a small, "fine." Then he takes another sigh meaning he's about to ask a question, one that I probably won't want to answer. "Why don't you let anyone on your bike?"
"Because James I've already told you, but it's because it was the first thing I bought with my own money so I don't want anyone on it or to drive it." I explain even though he's heard me say it a billion times.
"You let Maria on it." He smirks.
"That's different."
"Mhm, how?" He knows what he's doing.
"Shut up." I glare at him.
"Lorenzo, ¿puedes bajar aquí por favor?" My mom calls from downstairs.
(Lorenzo, can you come down here please.)
"Is that Ms.Camilla?" James asks from beside me. Everyone that knows my mom calls her Ms instead of Mrs, since my father isn't really around to be a husband and he doesn't act like one. Though they are still married, nobody really thinks it.
"Yeah, I guess she's back from the store. Does your mom do grocery runs this early in the morning or is it just mine?" I question with a laugh. "Próximo" I yell, getting up.
(Coming)
We make our way downstairs and start putting away the groceries. "¿Llevarás mi auto a la escuela hoy, amor?" She asks.
(Are you taking my car to school today, love?)
"Si, no tienes trabajo verdad?" I double check.
(Yes, you don't have work today right?)
"No, no lo hago, nunca tengo trabajo hoy. Es mi día libre, recuerda." She confirms.
(No I dont, I never have work today. its my day off remember. )
"Sí, sólo para asegurarme."
(Yes,just making sure)
"Ok, we'll thank you for the help, you too James. Now, go to school, see you later. Bye James." She waves us off.
"Adiós mamá" I say, walking to the door.
"Bye Ms.Camilla." James says waving at her.
