VICTOR
I couldn't wait to be back with my familia. I have missed them so much and have been away for too long and since I was going to be staying this time for a while, I figured I would get an apartment. So I found one that was in between where my sister and my mom's house was.
Being back home is really nice and I have missed everybody. Then today, is a big family get together at my parents house and is also actually when I will be back in town and thought I would surprise everyone. My best friend Javier is coming with me also.
"It'll be nice to see everyone again. I've missed your mom's cooking." He says.
"Yeah, me too." I replied.
"Are we still not saying what we have been up to?" He asks.
"Right. I just don't want my mom to worry." I remind him.
"Alright." He says with his hands up in surrender.
We start to then make our way down towards my mom's house and can see the whole family is practically here. We both then get out and start making our way inside.
Right away, we were greeted with hugs, kisses, 'good to see you'.
When I got to out in the backyard, while hugging a few people, I heard a familiar scream of excitement and right as soon as I turn around, I see my sister running towards me and throws her arms around me.
"Oomf." I say as she jumps into my arms hard.
"Te he extrañado mucho!" She says.
"I've missed you so much!"
"Yo también te extrañé hermana!" I laughed.
"I've missed you too sis!"
I looked over behind her and noticed a girl who looked to be the same age as Maritza only was white.
"quién es éste?" I asked.
"Who's this?"
"Oh this is my new friend and roommate, Saige. Saige this is my brother, Victor and his best friend, Javier." She introduces us.
"It's nice to meet you." She smiles while holding out her hand and I can't help but feel like she reminds me of somebody, but yet I have no clue as to who.
"Yeah." I nod a little without shaking her hand.
"I'm Javier. It's nice to meet you hermosa chica (beautiful girl). He winks at her while shaking her hand.
"Is that my son?" I hear my mom's voice come from behind me.
As soon as I turned around, she was already there to greet me with a big tight hug along with my father standing beside her.
"Hey mama! Hey papa!" I greeted them both.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming down?" She asked me.
"Because it would ruin the surprise." I smiled at her.
"You and Javier are too skinny. Good thing you came." She says. "Now go on and dig in you guys." She smiles.
Both Maritza and her new friend start heading towards the end with the plates and once we all had our food, we sat down in random places in the backyard and in the house.
Everything seemed to be going good until I heard a familiar voice who I never thought I would hear again.....My ex, Lolita.
"Hola!" She says to everyone as she steps out onto the back patio looking no different than how she always looked, a slut.
She see's me and before I can make a run for it, she gets to me first.
"Hola Victor." She smiles.
"Hola." I replied not looking at her.
"It's been a long time." She says.
"Yes it has. For good reason too." I tell her while standing up and excusing myself.
She had done so much damage to my family. What started off as her family helping ours financially, suddenly she turned that it into blackmail later on down the road when she teamed up with that asshole and not to mention cheated on me with him also.
"What the hell are you doing here, Puta?! (whore)" I hear my sister ask her.
"I have just as much right to be here as anyone else, especially more than THIS white bitch. Since when did you start talking to them again?" She glares at Maritza.
"Since not all of us are fucking haters and your ass better watch it before I dislocate your damn jaw!" Maritza yells in her face.
I hurry over to grab Lolita to have her leave before there's an even bigger scene or worse, a fight. I've seen Maritza fight, in fact, I was the one who taught her to fight and know she could do some damage.
So instead, I figured this was the only thing to do.
Next chapter will be posted soon! :) By the way, the words in itallics are the english translations to the spanish ones. :)
