- Ya Alejandro, we are ready - a shrill voice brought me out of my thoughts.
- It's getting late Fernando Alejandro Parker Cooper- that was Lucas and Pablo
- I'm coming muggle- taking my cell phone out of the room and giving my hair a final cat's paw.
I rush out of the bedroom to find my brothers sitting on the living room couch, with their gifts for the blue-eyed girl.
- Let's go, it's getting late - when it's time to take the keys to Dad's truck, which he left me when he turned 17.
- Well, you take longer than a lady on her first date," Laura leaving the house.
- Of course not Laura Parker Cooper, you took 2 hours to get ready and you looked just as ugly - passing by her side and then tousling her hair with my hand.
- Damn you, you know how long it took me to make these curls for you to take them out in 2 seconds- looking at me angrily pointing at her straight hair again.
Simple bothers her, it takes years to arrange her hair, and the first one I touch it is officially declared dead but here it occurs to her to make curls to the one who has super straight hair only to Laura, today mom went out with Vicente, she didn't say anything really I just assume she is with him, she doesn't answer her cell phone, and when he is with her she does not pay attention to the calls from any of us, it is as if she has no children and is single, you do not bother me, but I am worried about not knowing where she is and how she is, in the end she will always have her children, they will never leave so it would be more preferable if she would tell at least one of us where she is so we don't worry.
- Here, this is the address -Pablo gave me the princess invitation.
- Are you sure this is it? - looking at the card
- Yes, that's what a lady gave it to me - Laura took the invitation from me.
I just nod, it made me strange since it is the address of my director, we arrived in less time than I expected it was near our house and I had never noticed that and I was not mistaken it was the house of my director, you wonder how I know; Well I am not an exemplary student, some time ago I played a joke on him and that's how I knew where he lived. According to my friends and I he doesn't know who played the prank on him, since he didn't punish us.
We got out of the car and went to the door where an old lady came out, welcoming the twins and my sister with a hug and a kiss, and thinking about it, these children must like her, since they will never let strangers or people they don't like hug them, like Vicente for example, they don't let her touch them, they move away every time they see him in the house.
- Hello little devils, Laurita, hello young man, come in - greeting my brothers and then seeing each other and shaking hands.
We walked by and everything was decorated with princesses and turquoise, and lots of balloons around the room, my brothers I missed them since I walked in, all the people are gathered in the garden; it is very big and has several tables, as well as a small bar with a palm roof and several chairs around it; there are many people I know from my brothers' kindergarten, as I am like their tutor and I know them from several meetings I go to at their school.
- Young man, do you want anything? - lady behind me, I guess she was the cook.
- A beer? - doubtful what if there is no
- Sure, I'll bring it to you now - going out of my sight
I will be honest, when I made the joke with the guys, I never noticed the house and even less how it was inside because who is going to figure out the inside of a house in the middle of the night right in the middle of the joke, nobody I guess and what I did not notice is that it has a very big place to live just him, the lady and Lucia, it was nice not bad for the director of a high school, although I will not lie the teacher was young, young compared to all teachers of 70 or 80 years that are in high school, he had good tastes I will admit it. I was about to sit down when the twins arrived at my side.
- Hey, where is Lucía? - in unison
- I don't know little devils, let's go look for her - taking their hands to which they did not refuse and took my hand each.
- Look, there she is," said a girl wearing an aurora princess dress, I think.
They let go of my hand, running towards her who did not take long to hug these two bullies who almost threw her because of how hard they hugged her, those kids adored the little blue-eyed girl, they always talk about her and that makes me happy to know that my brothers have friends, that they are getting to know the world in a very nice way, very harmless and I hope it will always be the same way.
- Oh monsters, leave her alone, you will kill her - taking the twins to separate from the poor girl who was already lying on the floor in a couple of seconds.
- Thank you...- with a raised eyebrow.
- Alejandro - in a tone of amusement
- You are Ale, I'm Lucia, sorry for not saying hello on Monday, but it's the only day I see mom - she said with some sadness in her voice and I was even more surprised how well she can speak at only 6 years old.
- Hey it's not your birthday don't be sad, where's your mom? - taking her to give her a hug, I never like to see the children I test me part of the heart.
- At work she's almost here, well that's what my grandma said - behind my neck .... Mommy's home! - she let go of my hug which made me laugh because she ran away.
I got up from the floor and I see Lucia with her mom who was a very young and cute and I will be frank, but she looks familiar, well I think it was the crazy today rather, that girl is so sweet, gives you an air of confidence and especially that vanilla scent that would be unrecognizable, believe that I am unbalanced if you tell me that it is not the same fragrance that my mother uses, it would be crazy if it were a perfume that is almost unknown, my mother loves it although she does not always use it, it has changed too much since she divorced my father.
- Oh young man take your beer - a voice behind me that pulled me out of my view of the little blue-eyed girl
- Thank you, I had already forgotten - sideways grin
- Sorry I couldn't find it, that's why I was late in bringing her an apology-with a frightened look on her face.
- No worries, thank you - he replied with a smile.
Just nod and then withdraw and leave me alone, with my crazy thoughts, I put my eyes on the small family of the director I did not know he had a daughter and a wife really nobody knows anything about the director more than academics his professional life is what we all know but we have never known anything of his private life until now that I'm here watching him, I went to sit near Laura who was talking on the phone, glued to the device since we arrived at the party, I feel that my ear exploded from so much talking. I was too entertained playing with my cell phone that I don't feel when I get a little chevron on my pants.
- Come ale, I want to introduce you to my mom - pulling my hand and leading me to a small ball on the gift table.
- Wait little one, you're in a hurry," he laughed at last and followed her small steps.
- Look she is mommy- pointing to a young woman, a real goddess to be honest that reminded me of Paula.... Wait - run out to where she was and then bring her back to me.
I was waiting and kept playing with my hand and looking at the floor, until I saw that vanilla scent that I like so much, I think I'm going crazy with this scent, it's delicious, but I never thought I'd find it anywhere else but in my house.
-Look mom, this is Ale, the twins' brother - pointing at me.
You know my jaw on the floor, just because I have it stuck in my skull, but it's 20 feet under the ground, her mom is Paula, yes PAULA DANIELS
