Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

(Later that night)

(Uncle Roberto's house)

Aunt Maria: Honey, I'm really sorry. It breaks my heart to see you angry with me.

Uncle Roberto: Why won't I be angry when you've neglected your motherly duties? You neglected to monitor Juanita, Who knows where she's been picking up bad behaviors from....

Aunt Maria: I'm sorry. I promise I'll watch her closely from now on.

Uncle Roberto: You promise?

Aunt Maria: Yes darling. I promise.

(Meanwhile)

(Daniel calls Morena)

Daniel: Hey Morena, How've you been?

Morena: I've been alright, Daniel.

Daniel: Are you gonna be free tomorrow? Tomorrow's my day off and I wanna take you out.

Morena: Wow, Sure!

Daniel: Alright, I'll call you tomorrow, when I'm close to your house.

Morena: Do me a favor, Don't come close to the house because of my aunt. Just wait at the gazebo, I'll meet you there.

Daniel: Alright, No problem.

Morena: Thank you!!!

(Daniel drops the call)

Morena: I can't believe I'm gonna go out with Daniel tomorrow, Wait a second... I'll need to ask Uncle Roberto if he'll be okay with that.

(Morena goes to Uncle Roberto's room and knocks on the door)

Uncle Roberto: Come in!

(She enters the room)

Uncle Roberto: Morena, Is there a problem?

Morena: Uncle, Is it okay if I go to see a friend tomorrow?

Uncle Roberto: Ohh, That's not a problem. Just make sure you stay safe and keep your mobile phone on at all times in case I try to call you.

Morena: No problem uncle. Thank you so much!!!

(Next Morning)

Uncle Roberto: Honey, What're we eating for breakfast?

Aunt Maria: Spicy lamb chops.

Uncle Roberto: Sounds nice. Morena, Why don't you go assist your aunt in the kitchen.

Morena: Ok sir

Aunt Maria: No, it's fine....

Uncle Roberto: I insist! Besides, You always say the house works are usually exhausting, It'll be wise to let Morena assist you.

Aunt Maria: Ok honey.

(In the kitchen)

Aunt Maria: So Morena, Who's this "friend" you're going out to see?

Morena: He's my colleague.

Aunt Maria: Ohhh, So it's a "He"?

Morena: Yeah.

Aunt Maria: Ok no problem.

(Later)

(While Morena washes the dishes, Juan and Juanita enter the kitchen)

Juan: Thank you, Morena.

Morena: You're welcome. How was your food?

Juan: I really enjoyed it. It was hot and spicy.

Morena: Juanita, How was the food?

Juanita: (drops her plate in the sink) Garbage.

(Juanita hisses and walks out of the kitchen)

Morena: (confused) What just happened?

Juan: I'll go talk to her.

***************************

(In Juan & Juanita's room)

Juan: Juanita, Why did you hiss at Morena and call the food "Garbage"?

Juanita: Don't you see? Morena is trying to blind us with her fake kindness so she can succeed in stealing Dad's affection...I won't let that happen!

Juan: What do you mean by "Stealing Dad's affection"?

Has Daddy stopped loving you ever since Morena came?

Juanita: It's only a matter of time...

Juan: You don't know what you're saying. Besides that can never happen, Morena is a good person.

Juanita: Why do you always defend her?!

Juan: Because you're no longer seeing the good inside her. Morena's your family and this hate you're dishing out to her is way overboard!

(Meanwhile)

(In Morena's room, She prepares for her date with Daniel. Just then, Rafael calls her)

Rafael: Hey babe...

Morena: Babe?

Rafael: Sorry. Hey Morena, How're you doing?

Morena: I'm good.

Rafael: I've really missed you. Are you gonna be free later today? I want to take you out on a date.

Morena: I'm really sorry Rafael but I've got plans with Daniel today.

Rafael: Ohhh, We could try that some other time?

Morena: Maybe.

Rafael: Alright, Bye.

(Morena attempts to go out)

Aunt Maria: Hold up! Where do you think you're going?

(Morena looks at her in bewilderment)

Uncle Roberto: Maria, What's the problem?

Aunt Maria: There's no way she's stepping out of this house. Do you know that she's going out to see a man? Her boyfriend?!

Morena: But aunt, He's not my boyfriend.

Uncle Roberto: Even if he was her boyfriend, Morena knows what's right and wrong. (To Morena) You can go.

Morena: Thank you sir.

(Morena leaves the house as her Aunt watches her furiously)

(Morena goes to meet Daniel at the gazebo)

Daniel: Hey Morena, I was... (looks at her) Woah, You look stunningly beautiful.

Morena: (smiles) Thanks.

Daniel: (keeps on looking at her) Wow....

Morena: Alright, Let's go before you start drooling...

(Morena enters the car and Daniel drives off)

Morena: So where're we going?

Daniel: To the movies. We're gonna watch the latest movie - The Dark Feys.

Morena: Oooohhh, Horror?

Daniel: Kinda. Although it's mixed with action and adventure.

Morena: Wow, I'm gonna enjoy this!

(At the movies)

Security Guard: Tickets please.

(Morena & Daniel show him their tickets)

Security Guard: Go in.

****************************

(That evening)

Morena: Wow, This is one of the movies I can never forget! It was so intriguing.

Daniel: Right?

Morena: I really like the twist at the end, Mallory was the real villain and not his brother.

Daniel: Wow, You were really engrossed in the movie.

Morena: Yeah, It was amazing. Besides, I've never gone to the movies before. Today's the first time.

Daniel: How come?

Morena: That's a story for another day.

Daniel: Well, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

Morena: (smiles) Me too. Thank you so much....

(Morena and Daniel smile and stare at each other for a moment Then they move closer to each other, Daniel slowly pulls back her hair and kisses her and she returns the kiss this time)

(Meanwhile)

(Cecilia visits Mr Rodriguez)

Cecilia: Hey baby.

Mr Rodriguez: Wow, Are you here for more....You know what I'm talking about?

Cecilia: Kind of. Rodriguez, Please I need to ask you for something.

Mr Rodriguez: Go on...

Cecilia: I need about $5,000. It's for an important cause.

Mr Rodriguez: Hmm... I'll see what I can do.

Cecilia: Awwnn thank you baby. You're so generous, I can't believe I've been wasting my time with Daniel when you've been here all these while.

Mr Rodriguez: (smiles) Yeah. So, How about what you promised...

Cecilia: Ohhh, That's not a problem.

(Cecilia begins to take off her clothes while she kisses Mr Rodriguez)

(Later on)

(Daniel drops off Morena at the house)

Morena: Thank you so much, Daniel. You really made my day.

Daniel: (smiles) Well, That's me....

Morena: (pecks his cheeks) Goodnight.

Daniel: (blushes) Goodnight.

(Daniel enters into his car and drives off and Morena waves at him. When he's no longer in sight, Morena goes into the house. Meanwhile, Aunt Maria watches her from the window)
