During the week I had little contact with Emma the last time we saw each other I think she got a little upset with a comment I made and she herself puts up barriers to not talk to me if we talk it is because Paula is the one who connects us and because of the calculus classes that she still gives me but now she gives them to me at her house for more comfort more than anything else in case we go over time and we don't get kicked out of school and apart from how heavy I know it's her job but she doesn't take into account that she has a 10 year old girl who needs her and 6 year old boys who clearly will always look for their mom even if I'm in charge, they look for my mom but she never sees that her priority is to keep us happy with the things we want and give us money.
- Are you guys going today? - paula sitting next to me
- Yes, little eye, we need all your help for the partial, we don't know anything and you are our only hope - Jaime hugging her.
- Yes baby, you must help us or else the Lord will love to thunder us - Marisol looking at her with puppy eyes.
- Okay, we'd better go, I have to pick up my brothers and sisters and from there we'll go to Paula's house - taking my things from the bench to go to the car.
They didn't say anything, they just followed me and got in the car, today like every day I have to pick up my siblings from school, although I don't like them to go with me when I study because they are very slow, but with little Lucia I know that she will help me to entertain them.
- Well hurry up, I want to go to bed early," Paula said, carrying Lucia, taking advantage of the fact that we went to pick her up so her mother wouldn't worry about picking her up and she could do her own thing.
- We are coming mom Paula, we already understood - in chorus the four of us, Marisol, Jaime, Sergio and I were coming, the four of us are doing very badly in calculus.
- Hey guys, thanks ale for going to get my babies - the most beautiful voice in the world arriving in her Audi with a gleaming smile.
- You're welcome, Mrs. Daniels - he replied nervously.
- Alejandro, what did we say about madam, you make me feel older and I am not that old - he says with a radiant smile looking at me with some anger, but it was true, he had already told me that the last time I came to his house.
- Sorry Emma, habit - he mentioned nervously and if I had my cheeks bursting with red I guess I'll never get used to talking to him, even if it's 10 words max.
With his head bowed he entered the house and the teasing behind me from my friends even Paula and my brothers made fun of my clumsiness when he saw Emma he was no longer the same Alejandro that everyone knows he was a little boy, shy before such a beauty as Emma is. We spend hours studying because we don't know anything, we are blank and we are understanding little by little and to tell the truth, ojitos is very patient in all these hours she has been very patient with us, if I were her I would have sent them all to hell for being so stupid but no, she is too noble.
- please tell me if you guys understand or I'm talking crazy or in another language - paula is already a little tired.
- ya mama paula - again in chorus and if it was true and I understood that this was the calculus I already had head and feet in my mind.
- You are the best little eyes, I already understood what is calculus and all that - Marisol jumps to hug her and almost hangs the poor girl.
- I have prepared something for you guys to eat, could you help me paula -Emma entering the living room
Paula got up to go behind Emma to the kitchen and the four of us were left to nothing, I think that so much studying is already driving us crazy, there are few well relatively few topics, but they are extensive and the master wants everything by process if the answer is not wrong so we must understand everything to be able to pass the exam.
- This girl is a magician in calculus, she should be a teacher instead of a student, she is an expert - Jaime leaning on the table where we have all our supplies.
- Morgan, if the don also came because he doesn't know anything so he didn't waste his time and came to study.
- Guys, if you want to wash your hands, the bathroom is straight ahead and to the left - paula entering the room.
Everyone ran off to the bathroom to wash their hands, I got up slowly and when everyone came back they must be worse than preschoolers washing their hands, so I decided to go to the kitchen to see if I could help with something.
- They need help - entering the kitchen little by little.
- Oh Alejandro, you scared me - Emma with her hand on her chest leaning against the kitchen island.
- I'm sorry, are you okay? - I thought Paula was here with her, that's why I came in with a little more confidence.
- If it was just a scare, you could help me take those dishes downstairs," she says a little calmer, pointing to the drawer.
Being with her makes my heart beat a mile a minute, her aroma is very delicious, it makes my whole body react in a different way, it is very crazy to say that I like my teacher because she takes me years but I really do not see her as an older person, I see her and I want to know more about her, to know more about her life, to know what she likes and what she does not like, to know how she spends her time and everything about her makes me want to know her; I was just finishing the dishes when I feel like Emma's body contracts mine, making us fall to the floor.
- Sorry ... I slipped... - looking into my eyes
- Don't worry... you didn't hurt yourself? - looking at her red lips
- Nothing happened ... everything is fine ... and you are well? - looking from my eyes to my lips
- If nothing happened - looking at her lips
Little by little we were getting closer, I was running my tongue over my lips just like her her lips were telling me to kiss her I wanted to kiss her and I know she wants that kiss too, but that moment is interrupted by the noises of the boys and that means they are coming to the kitchen to eat so as fast and furious as we are we stand up and each one sits in a chair that is in the island she in a magazine and me looking at the cell phone as if we did not know each other.
- You know when you guys want and now you guys, all right? - paula entering the kitchen to then look at us with "surprise? intrigue?
- Nothing daughter, come on now sit down to eat - Emma getting up from her chair to start serving while the boys left the kitchen to go to the dining room.
I got up with the intention of helping her and hoping that she would tell me something about what had happened earlier.
- Alejandro, nothing happened, what happened before we are not going to touch the subject again - looking at me with some anger, but the truth is that I didn't know what that look was like.
- Don't worry Emma, I won't say anything - taking the plates with the food to go and give it to the boys who were talking very animatedly among themselves.
- Move over Esperanza, I'm hungry - Jaime slapped me as he passed by his side to give him his plate.
- It's already late and my brothers should rest so hurry up if you want me to take you home - sitting at the table with my eyes on my plate.
- Hey and your mom is not here or what happened - Marisol looked at me confused.
- No Marisol, she went on a "business" trip so it's my turn to take care of them - she mentioned with some anger, remembering the subject makes me even more angry with her.
- More, you are their brother, not their father, and they seem to be your children - he says angrily.
- I know Marisol, but you know that my brothers can't stand Vicente - he pointed out angrily, the subject makes me tense and I don't want to talk about it anymore, especially not in someone else's house.
- Vicente, is that your dad? - paula looking at me with surprise
- No ojitos, he is his mother's boyfriend - Sergio answers with his mouth full of food, even his cheeks were covered with food.
- Eat well pig - Marisol with a disgusted face
We were going to answer but Emma began to choke on the food and I stopped like lightning McQueen to give her small blows on her back but when I saw that it did not work I took her from behind and put my arm around her to give her small pushes against me to put pressure on her chest and remove any object that was obstructing her throat and it worked and after 1 minute of doing that she returned to her color, she turned to look at me giving me a smile and I could notice something that I did not notice a while ago a reddish color in her cheeks.
- All right mom, what happened? - worried eyes
- All right daughter - he answers with a wink .... thank you Alejandro, you are always saving me - giving me a smile and a wink.
I didn't answer just gave her a smile and continued eating so she wouldn't notice the redness in my cheeks that were about to explode because of how nervous she made me, her wink she looks beautiful doing that enhances her blue eyes, the meal passed normally between jokes and laughter, although she is present she has given us the confidence to make jokes and jokes makes us feel confident.
- Thanks for your help little eyes, see you tomorrow at the exam and thanks Emma - I say goodbye giving paula a hug and then give a smile to my beautiful beloved it sounds funny just thinking about it that way it's like she's a princess and I'm her prince.
- There is no need Alejandro, you know that this is your home when you want to come - he says with a charming chuckle like the song of the birds.
