How I like my tea

A Perfect Ending?

Violetta and I were walking back home after the day was over and she was telling me about her dance class with Gregorio. I was listening but also I was wondering about today, about what would happen next and about what everyone else would say.

"Vilu.." I say stopping dead in my tracks.

"Yeah Angie?" She says, stopping just a few centimetres in front of me.

"Five." I say, not able to say anything else.

"Five?" she says considering this for a moment "Five. Five..... Five. Oh My God! FIVE!" She is screaming and begins jumping up and down before hugging me tightly.

"And.." she says excitedly.

"And what?" I'm really confused at this point.

"Did anything happen?" she says as if it were so obvious what she meant before.

"No."

"Did anything change?" she says looking confused.

"No"

I have no idea where she is going with this.

"Was something supposed to?" I ask confused.

"Yeah!" she screamed, "So you aren't together?"

"No." I say starting to walk again.

"You two are impossible!" she cries "uggh!"

She storms around furious for a few minutes but suddenly a smile comes to her face.

"If it didn't happen then.." she says excitedly, "then it's going to happen now!"

She runs back to the house dragging me behind her. She ran even faster then she did this morning.

Needless to say, we arrived home in just minutes and as we burst through the door, German came running.

"What's happened? Why did you fly in like that? Is everything okay?"

"Fine." I say wheezing. Which probably makes me seem very ill as I'm gasping for breath and struggling to speak.

"Violetta... wanted to... get home......we ran.....so fast....ughhh." I'm still coughing and spluttering and German is laughing.

"Come on," he says dragging me into the kitchen, "Here have a glass of water."

I drink it quickly and when it's empty I sigh. Violetta is going to kill me with all this running.

"Dinner will be ready in a bit," says German refilling my drink, "I suggest you drink plenty and have some rest before then." He gazes at me for a long time waiting for a response.

I nod. I don't say anything as my throat hurts. Then I head upstairs. In the bedroom, I lay down and steadied my breathing so it was back to normal. It took forever. I am so unfit.

I got water from the tap in the bathroom and continued to cool down upstairs until Violetta came to get me and told me dinner was ready.

When I got downstairs I felt better and was expecting lots of conversations to pick up. Instead we sat in complete silence. I could tell people were looking at me.

Occasionally Olga or Ramallo.

Quite often Violetta.

But Mostly German.

I kept my head down as I could tell I was blushing Violently from the attention.

Dinner was quickly over and everyone began to depart. Ramallo went to the office, Olga went to her room to read and Violetta went upstairs to write in her diary. German and I were left alone.

Together we began clearing dishes in silence and took them to the kitchen. As I placed them in the sink, I felt German's arms wrapped around me. He had a tight grip on my waist and he spun me around and placed me right in front of him. He kept his arms wrapped around my waist so we remained close.

It was then I realised where we stood. In the exact spot we stood months ago when he first kissed me because he didn't know who I was. I was certain he was going to kiss me again but then I felt his grip loosen.

I looked up at him but he wouldn't meet my gaze so instead I grabbed his arms and linked them around me again. Once he realised what I'd done he looked at me and he beamed.

Then he kissed me. One long, lingering kiss, in which the whole world faded away and it was just us two in our own little universe.

Violetta was right. That it would all be in the kiss, because in that moment all I wanted was to remain in German's arms because I loved him and he loved me.

When the kiss ended, he stood in front of me beaming again. I couldn't help but smile back. Everything was perfect . We hadn't spoke once and we didn't need to.

Still holding onto me German began to speak.

"I have a question for you." he says, not losing the grip he has on me.

This is it. He has proved he loves me. I love him. I can no longer deny that. I love German Castillo and he has a question for me. I stand there anticipating his question.

"Angeles Carrara," he says "I love you with all my heart and I have a very important question for you."

"Would you like a cup of tea?"
