Ebony's Journey, Macarevhic's Story

Chapter 20 (Macarevhic)

Today is going great so far and Ebony is really enjoying herself. I'm glad I did invite her. She seems happy and comfortable. I was worried because I didn't think she was gonna show. I saw her and Arod leave together from the game the other night.

I blush thinking about the kiss on the cheek she gave me. I'm falling more and more in love with her, and it can't be stopped, and it can't be helped. I just wish she's wasn't so damaged. I wish I could save her, but I you can't save nobody like Ebony, I tried to that for mama.

Mama didn't change unless she was ready too. I take a bite of the turkey and it's good. Later on the table is cleared and everybody piles into the living room once more to digest the feat we've just had. "Hey Macarevhic come into the kitchen with, I need to talk to you about something." says my uncle Carlos. My uncles Carlos is a traveling musician, and he plays the saxophone for different bands all over the country. I get up from the couch and walk into the kitchen with Uncle Carlos. The smell of Thanks giving dinner still lingers around. "What's up man."

I say crossing my arms across my chest. "I see you and your little girlfriend in there, and she's a true beauty Macarevhic. The family loves her." "Thanks uncle, but she's not my girlfriend. She's just a friend." I half-heartily correct him. "Just a friend? Ya'll don't look like no just friends to me. Look if you want a woman to truly notice you and fall for you, you need to sing to her my man." I frown to myself.

"Uncle I can't sing to her." "Yes you can. Macarevhic I've heard your voice and you can seriously sing boy. Sing her a song right now and in Spanish. That way you can say what you want to say and she doesn't understand you." I think of his suggestion and it's a good idea. Ebony wouldn't know what I'm saying.

"Uncle how I can I sing? I have no music." I tell him. " I'll play the guitar, and you can sing a love song to her in Spanish." Uncle offers. I think to myself for a moment. This could be a pretty good idea. "Okay I'll do it." Ten minutes later Uncle and I reappear in the living room.

Uncle is carrying my acoustic guitar the one I've had for five years now. Everybody looks excited to see me sing. Uncles starts to play and I sing a old Spanish love song. I look at Ebony 90% of the time while I sing. I another to know that his song makes me think of her.

After I finish everybody claps and It looks as if Ebony was crying a little. As the night drags on people starts leave and drive back home or fall asleep. I walk Ebony to Miss. Ruth's car. She gives me a quick peck on the lips. I wave until I can't see them no longer as they drive off. I got to thank uncle about the singing thing. It's totally worked. I drag my feet into the heavy snow. It's funny how the weather changes so fast. One minute it's as thanksgiving now its Christmas time. I love the cold weather.

Ebony and I relationship is changing everyday she seems more comfortable around me and she seems so new and different. Arod has been missing school a lot lately, and if he doesn't play basketball no more then he won't have a shot at the NBA. I think that's karma starting to work. I'm thinking about asking Ebony to be my girlfriend. I know I can be a good boyfriend for her. I want to make everything right with her. I just want to love her.
