Aria's POV
"Papito, taste the pollo con ajo. My abuelita taught me how to make this when I was a little girl. The key is to add just a bit of cigar ash." Lydia smiled, holding out a spoon to Alex, pouring into his mouth as he made a disgusted face that quickly changed to one of pleasure.
I smiled at his reaction, then looked back down at my texts, nervously. I fidgeted with the different keys, debating whether or not to open my new text message.
I've been texting with a boy named Peter from our class for a couple weeks now, and he asked me out on a date about an hour ago, and I had yet to respond
Honestly, I really wanted to, but my feelings for Alex were still there... especially after the kiss.
He was my first kiss, and I know I was the one to push it down, but I always make stupid decisions when I'm nervous.
Maybe going on a date with Peter will help me get over my feelings. He's a sweet boy... a little out there for a kid our age, but I wasn't worried.
I nervously bit my nails, opened the text, and then finally confirmed the idea with Peter. He quickly responded with an excited text
I sighed and set down my phone to listen to Schneider's input into the conversation I was missing out on, "My abuelita used to put Vicodin in her coffee. And her lemonade and her sandwiches. Maybe she had a problem."
Elena and Schneider started talking about the sink Elena fixed, and Alex walked over to me, "You okay?"
"I'm fine." I promised, faking a smile
"Come on. Tell me." He begged, gently grabbing my hand with both of his
"Well, you know Peter?" I asked, leaning closer to tell him the news
He nodded his head, "Well, he asked me to go out on a date... and I said yes."
"Oh." Alex nodded with a sad smile, quickly dropping his grip on both of my hands
I was about to say something else, when Penelope walked into the apartment, making Alex quickly change the subject, "Mami, where have you been? I've been cooking these frijoles for 20 minutes. Ugh, I try to make a house a home."
"I was driving in freaking circles, looking for a spot. I had to park by the lake again and get chased by the geese. The big one either hates me or is in love with me. Either way, I don't like it." Penelope groaned, throwing her keys into a small bowl
"Why don't you just park in your garage?" Schneider asked
"What?" Penelope gasped, clearly having no clue about their available parking spot
