"Honey? I want to discuss something with you."Bianca said.
Martin dropped his glass and asked his wife what the problem was.
"I actually thought that this food you prepared was because you wanted something, now what is the problem?" Martin asked.
Bianca cleared her throat and continued talking.
"Jake is tired of his school, so I have been asking some ladies in my gym class and they suggested some good school and I have decided on one 'Prestigious high school' and here is everything you need to know about the college. Their fees and other payment to be made.
Bianca handed over the envelope to Martin. Jake was trying to take a peek at the paper as his father opened it. Martin looked at both of them as they stared at each other as Bianca winked to Jake smiling.
"Bianca this is very expensive, where on earth are we going to get the money to pay for this for God's sake?" Martin got angry and dropped this fork as he continued to look at the document.
"Calm down Darling, this is not too much for your own son, he is your son or do you not love him?" Bianca tried to manipulate Martin.
"Bianca I love my son but am saying we should not change his school. He is already going to a very good private school, why change it?" Martin asked staring at Bianca.
He turned to look at Jake and asked.
"Hey champ, what is wrong with your school? it is the best in the area. Talk to me I am your dad, what is the matter?, why this and why now?" Martin asked Jake.
Jake stuttered and looked at his Mom who used her eyes to communicate with him to stick to their plan.
"Darling the school is not just right for our son and we need to change it and soon dear." Bianca responded instead of Jake.
"But that is not a good reason to change a school that a child has been going for years now Bianca, it is not a good reason." Martin said angrily.
"Jake leave I and your father we need to talk about this calmly, you can go to your room and take your food with you." Bianca said.
Jake took his dish and added more and went upstairs immediately.
Martin whom was already angry and lost his appetite was anxiously waiting for Bianca to create and excuse for her son now.
"I do not get why you are really upset over what you know is right for your son. Let me guess if it was your other son you would gladly do this for him. Me and my children whom have been faithful to you all these years and stayed with you and loved you if course you do not want to do this. If it was Marcela now, you will obliged once." Bianca said.
"Do not mention her name to me again in have told you that they mean nothing to me. Stop bringing them up all the time when we have issues, I have warned you Bianca." Martin said.
"So in my own house I can not have a quiet dinner when you would not ruin it by bringing them up in any situation. Jake's school can not be changed over comparison issues. That school is good for him and period he will stay there because I can not afford this." Martin said.
"Oh yes you can Martin, you can and you would if you do not want me to leave this house. You are doing well in your company and one day Jake will take over your company and you do not want him to have a good background. Prestigious high school is one if the best in the country and your son should attend it and you will thank me later." Bianca said.
They both were breathing heavily after a heated argument. Bianca walked to meet Martin whom already stood up pacing around the dinning room and she held him around his neck. He moved his face not wanting to look at her.
"My Darling please look at me. This is a great opportunity. Please at least say you will think about it, please." She said as she kissed him on his cheek trying to get close to his lips.
"Do not do this Bianca. You know there is no need to change his school, why stress me?" Martin said removing her hands from his neck and held her hands.
"Most of the good teachers have left the school and so the school lacks Amazing teachers and the standard has dropped plus they just rely on their good old name but even Jake's friends are moving away from the school and going to bigger and better ones. The future is bright and only the brightest minds will rule it and I just want our son to be among the top leading individuals in the future." Bianca tried to convince Martin.
"So please think about it promise me?" Bianca held her hands up.
Martin forced out a smile and said he will think about it. She screamed for joy and said that was all she wanted him to do and she Hugged him tight and kissed him.
