it will soon be our turn to meet The
One,” says Paty. She smiles and glances around the club.
“Paty, I think that it’s great that you’re being optimistic.
You know, prima, what they say about positive thinking,” says Claudia. She smiles
at them and turns around to look at the chicos.
“Primas, I don’t see any new chicos tonight. They look to be
the same as yesterday,” says Veronica, looking around the club.
“I agree. I see that. It’s so disappointing. Oh well, we’ll
still have fun,” says Paty, grinning. “What do you want to drink?”
“I want a Margarita,” replies Bella. She looks around. “I’m
still not losing hope that someone interesting is here.”
“Yes, prima, I want some water,” replies Veronica. She taps
her fingers on the table to the beat of the music.
“Prima, I want a Tequila Sunrise,” says Claudia. She grins
at her cousin. “Vero is driving.”
“Okay, I’ll get them ordered,” says Paty. She looks for the
server. This looks like another boring night. These chicos just don’t want
to dance. Maybe we should stop coming here and go to another club , muses
Paty. She finally places their order with the server.
“Primas, today Gabriel came over to my home. His Padres
(parents) asked for Erica’s hand. I think that’s so neat,” says Bella, smiling.
“Yeah, prima, that’s real exciting,” agrees Veronica. I
wonder where Christopher is now. He said he had something to do tonight. This
is annoying , muses Veronica.
“I hope that I’ll have my novio soon,” says Paty.
“Yeah, I know. Erica is so happy. She said that Gabriel’s
padres are real nice,” says Bella.
“Si, Erica is truly lucky. To think that she never goes to
clubs. The first time that she goes to a club, she meets the one,” says
Claudia. Hmmm, that’s luck , she thinks.
“Yeah, I agree, prima. Hopefully her luck will rub off on us
soon,” says Paty.
“Well, primas, at least we’re trying. So let’s stay happy
and enjoy ourselves,” says Bella. We need to have fun on our own, she
thinks.
A few Chicos approach them to dance. The Primas dance every
time. There’s no click, no chemistry, not once. But the primas enjoy
themselves.
The next day, Claudia wakes up happy and relaxed. Oh, yes,
I had fun this weekend. But it’s almost over , muses Claudia.
She stretches in bed, smiling. I’ll take a shower, then
have some breakfast with my familia.
Damn, my little vacation is almost over. I have only a
few more hours to play , thinks Loco. He turns over on his bed. Oh yeah,
I love the feel of these sheets against my skin.
Ghost has gone off with that chica. Yeah, he totally
fell for that Latina beauty . She looked young to me. I wonder how old
she is . She does appear to be a good chica. Oh yeah, but you never know.
I don’t trust the chicas, muses Roberto.
He laughs with glee. He met her that first night. It was
hilarious, how the chica reacted when she saw Ghost . Her eyes expanded
as wide as humanly possible. I thought at first that she was scared and ready
to yell. Then she smiled at Ghost. I think that hooked him in .
Yeah, the chicas always run . I wonder if he really
fell. Ghost never dates a chica, no matter how much he likes her. He has
continued to see her all week. She looks totally fascinated by
Ghost , ponders Roberto, grinning.
Okay, I’m hungry , thinks Roberto. He slides out of
bed and walks towards the bathroom to get ready for his last day at home.
Later that evening, the De La Cruz familia (family) is
relaxing and enjoying their gathering. In the background, you can hear romantic
Mexican love songs playing. The night is beautiful. The sky looks like navy blue
velvet and sparkling diamonds.
The mamas are happily cooking the dinner meal. Their husbands
are the familia’s patriarchs. The padres are happily chatting, playing pool,
and drinking their Coronas.
The primos (cousins) are sitting at the tables located
around the patio. They’re
