Siempre te voy a querer

Chapter 114

Isa was now at home, catching up on chores before her big day tomorrow. She tossed her dirty clothes into the washing machine and began tidying up the living room. She checked her email, filled out forms for her new job with the selección mexicana, and noted the details of her upcoming meeting. The meeting was set for the next day, where she would be photographed and officially introduced to the media, and given her new uniform. As she completed her tasks, she reflected on the whirlwind of changes in her life. The transition from the hospital to working with the national team was exciting but also daunting. She was eager to start this new chapter but felt a pang of uncertainty about leaving her previous job.

Around 9 p.m., Edson came home and found Isa sitting at the dining table, eating cereal.

"¿Cómo va todo, Isa?" Edson asked, his eyes scanning the room.

"Todo bien, aquí poniéndome al corriente con las cosas," Isa replied, trying to keep her excitement about her new job under wraps.

Edson settled down next to her, his mood upbeat. "Hoy estuve con Sofía todo el día. ¡Fue genial! Fuimos a ver la nueva película que salió y luego cenamos en ese nuevo lugar que te mencioné."

Isa smiled, genuinely happy for him. "Qué bueno, suena perfecto. Me alegra que hayas pasado un buen día."

Edson's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Sabes, desde que me contaste que te gusta Kevin, no he podido dejar de pensar en cómo se ve todo esto. A veces me imagino cómo te verás en un futuro: tú, Kevin, y sus tres chamacos corriendo por la casa."

Isa laughed nervously, feeling her cheeks flush. "Ay, Edson, ¿por qué tienes que hablar de eso ahora?" Her mind drifted back to Jorge's similar comments, making her blush even more.

Edson chuckled at her reaction. "¿Qué? Solo digo que me imagino tu futuro y me hace gracia. Pero en serio, ¿cómo va eso con Kevin?"

Isa tried to steer the conversation away from her personal life. "Pues ya sabes, bien. Hablamos mucho y eso es todo. Como amigos, claro."

"Sí, claro," Edson said with a grin, clearly enjoying teasing her. "No me tienes que contar todo, pero ya veré cómo evolucionan las cosas."

Isa nodded, grateful for his understanding and playful nature. As the evening continued, she appreciated the normalcy of their conversation and the comforting presence of her brother, even if he was unknowingly close to the truth of her recent experiences.

Isa and Edson decided to play a few rounds of UNO after dinner, something they hadn't done in a while. As the game progressed, it became clear they had lost count of how many cards were supposed to be stacked up.

"¡No, no, no! Eso no puede ser. ¡Eran seis cartas, no cuatro!" Edson argued, shaking his head.

Isa laughed, shaking her finger. "Nada que ver, Edson. Yo llevo la cuenta mejor, eran cuatro, ¡tienes que tomarlas tú!"

"Ni lo sueñes. Ya ves que te distraes rápido con tus mensajes de Kevin," he teased, pulling the Kevin card once more.

Isa rolled her eyes dramatically but smiled. "¡No me distraigo, tú eres el que se olvida todo! ¡Toma tus cartas, tramposo!"

After a few more rounds of arguing and laughing, the clock hit 11 p.m., and they both decided it was time to call it a night.

"Buenas noches, Isa. Sueña con tu amorcito," Edson teased as he stood up.

"Ajá, sí, claro," Isa responded with an exaggerated eye roll. "Buenas noches, Ed. Sueña con tu noviecita," she teased back, waving him off playfully.

They each headed to their rooms. Isa lay on her bed, scrolling through TikTok to wind down. Just as her eyes began to close, she felt her phone buzz. It was a message from Piojo.
