Our Cuban Love {One Day at a Time} ~ON HOLD~

𝟜✌︎︎

(Disclaimer:I changed Alexa's name to Daniela because I like that name and having two Alex's is too confusing for me. If it gets confusing to you just remember that no matter what her name is she is the same person. If that helps, idk.)

P-Okay now it's time. For the real reason I asked Ale to stay." Al-What happened?" P-Since, you guys are dating. We have to talk." D-About?" P-Sex."

D-I'm out." She stood up and my mom sat her back down.

P-I know, I know. You guys are teenagers and although, you are way too young to be doing anything that's not kissing, or hugging, you might want to. If you do, don't hide it from me. That's when I'll be mad." Al-Ma, we aren't gonna do it. It's as simple as that."

P-You say that now, Papito, but you're a teen boy. You guys know how sex goes right?" D-Yeah." P-Okay good. Dani are you in birth control?" D-Yes." P-Good. Papito, you have condoms?" Al-For what? We aren't gonna do anything." P-Oye! You don't know that. I had my first time at 13. I regret it, but see. You don't know." Al-Yes, ma. I do. Abuelita gave them to me when I got through puberty because I got hot." Dani bit back a laugh.

Al-What's so funny. I did." D-Yeah okay." P-Alex, I'm sure she's seen better." Al-Wow." P-You guys are good right?" D-Yes, Lupe." P- Good. Now I have to give the second talk to my 16 year old, gay daughter. Fun."

She went to Elena's room.

Al-Thank god that's over. Now we can actually have sex." Dani raised her eyebrows. Al-It's a joke, relax."

At home on Friday after school waiting for my lovely, amazing, crush to come upstairs to me for our date.

This is what I looked like for our date.

Hair:

He knocked and I hugged Pat goodbye.

D-Hey cutie." Al- Hello beautiful." D-Where are we off to?" Al-Fro-yo then the grove." D-Perfect."

We were at the grove walking around admiring the beautiful night sky and we walked by the candy store. Alex immediately stopped in front of it and I smirked at him. I knew what he wanted so we went inside.

I didn't really eat candy so he was shocked. D-Alex, why is that so surprising?" Al-How can someone do sweet, not eat candy?" D-Too cheesy. Try again next time, bud."

We left the store and went to a couple stores. We went into Nike and I got a windbreaker for $30, but I was fine with it. Alex got a pair of shoes that were on sale for $95 instead of $120. We got back to the building and I went in his apartment. He brought me in his room and we were talking and laughing. Getting to know each other even better. The little things like, have you ever died your hair, your favorite ice cream flavor, or frosted tips, yes or no.

It was only 9:17 and Penelope came in the room just as we were about to kiss. P-Sorry, lovebirds. I came to have a mini convo." I looked at Alex and he shrugged.

P-How was the date? Was Papito a gentleman?" D-The date was amazing and yes he was." P-Great. So are you guys in it for the long run?" Al- Nobody says that, but I guess so." P-Okay. I am kind of scared to tell Abuelita because she wants to be the only woman in Papito's life." Al-Well, Abuelita needs to learn how to share." I blushed.

Then, Lydia magically appeared. Well, not really she was only in the kitchen.

L-So I heard you guys went on a date?" The three of us looked terrified." L-What? Is my makeup messed up?" D-No Lydia, it's just. Are you okay with that?" L-With what?" Al-Us dating?" L-Of course Papito. You guys are so cute. The cutest couple ever." P-What about Elena and Syd mami?" L-Who?" P-Your granddaughter and her girlfriend." L-Oh yeah. No, they're just weird." I chuckled at that.

Saturday morning I woke up to the sound of Abuelita's music. Daniela slept over the night before so I was on a mattress and I let her take my bed.

I looked at the bed and she wasn't there. I got up, brushed my teeth, and went to the kitchen to see Dani dancing with my mom and Schneider dancing with Abuelita. Elena came out at the same time as me.

E-I get it we're Cuban!" Mom turned off the music and Abuelita cooked breakfast. L-Mija, I think it's time I teach you so Spanish." E-I know enough Spanish, Abuelita. I don't need to speak it fluently." L-You do if you're a gringo." P-Ay! Mami. Enough. Elena will learn. She's her own person. Gringo or not."

Al-Elena, since you know Spanish. Daniela y yo somos una pareja mas linda." P-Damn." E-Eso no es cierto. Hemos estado juntos por más tiempo, tenemos más poder." D-She does speak Spanish." L-That's a secret that you don't hide, Elena." E-Yeah whatever."

The day went pretty smoothly until the mailman came. I had secretly ordered five pairs of shoes when I was supposed to get one pair.

He rang the door bell when I was in my room and my mom was in the living room. I ran into the living room before she got up. Al-I'll get it. I have to go up to Schneider's anyway. He borrowed one of my video games." That was the quickest lie I came up with. P-Alright, Papito."

I went out to get the shoes and took them upstairs when I got in front of the door I fell back down the stairs. Dani opened the door and looked at me with confusion.

D-What are you doing, Alex?" I got up and walked inside their apartment and went to Daniela's room. I sat the shoes down and took only one box.

I went back to her in the living room.

D-Now, what're you doing?" Al-I was supposed to get one box of shoes, but I got five. I have to hide those in your room so my mom doesn't know I have more than one." D-Alex. Why do you need five more pairs of shoes. You already have like ten that are almost perfectly fine." Al-Don't tell my mom and I'll exchange a pair and get some for you." D-Deal." I hugged and kissed her then left.
