(3 years earlier april) LAX airport
“So are you excited to meet my abuela?” i ask my boyfriend Peeta as we’re waiting for the flightatendet to cheek us in and let up pass to board the plain
“ Yeah! el novio conoce a los suegros” he smirks at me and i can’t even deal with him right now, we just moved into our new apartment and when i asked him for something and when he replied he was just going at it with his spanish it made me fall even harder for him, no to mention the accent because damn he’s cute , i smile up at him and steal a quick kiss before turning to give my sister her pass
“Prim” i say taping her shoulder, she has her headphones on “Prim” i try again a little bit louder “ROSA!” i nearly yell in her ear. she puts a hand on her chest and makes a exaggerated face at like she's having a heart attack and takes off those things, i roll my eyes “oh my goodness! what is wrong with you!” she demands glaring at me “quítate los chingados audífonos pues!“ I say to her and she returns the eye roll passin me as we board the plain and turn back to my güero giving him our luggage and mumble that i need to stop rolling my eyes so much and his laugh tells me that i really need to, 5 hours and a nap later we’re pulling into my abuela’s house.
A couple days later we’re sitting on the couch after dinner having a nice conversation, i was just so scared that my grandma was going to meet him, these are like my two worlds colliding and meeting each other i don't want them to clash in any capacity but my grandma did just what i thought she was gonna do, she opened her arms up to him and welcomed him into her home. here in the dinner that i grew up with the same old big wooden table and the concrete walls that make the house i knew before is definitely different seeing him here so out of his comfort zone, I’ll never be able to know exactly what he’s thinking but i hope he’s just as happy as i am and i can’t help but to notice that for lack of a better word how well he fits in here. is so cool to see him interact with my nieces and nephews and my aunts and uncles, we are by no means a small family, even in the states there’s 10 of us there and 50 here so we’re a lot but the way he just blended himself in is amazing. Peeta is holding my baby niece while i help clean up the table and my cousin is fixing a plate for herself. i smile but an uncomfortable feeling sets in my stomach because even though we’re young right now, we’re only 24, and neither of us has come out and said those words those “ i wanna move in with you and spend the rest of my life” talk that is way to intense for me right now but at the same time to me this is it, he’s it and i know how he feels about children and that he’ll eventually want them i know that but i just don't want any of it. i love my sister and i love the interactions i have with the children that come to the park i work at but i just know i not cut out to be a mother...i can't even keep a freaking cactus alive for fuck’s sake!! how am i supposed to be able to handle a baby… i can't! so i won’t. but that's a discussion for another day but for now i’ll see him with my niece and how he rocks her gently and why is that look so attractive on him? and i’ll enjoy how my two hearts meet and try not to think about the future.
I make my up to him and cadle my nieces cheek while putting mine on his shoulder
“So how are you holding up big guy?” i ask him and he laughs
“im good, they are something else for sure” he says i frown i know we can be a lot
“ i hope they’re not overwhelming you” and he shakes his head no
“ Hablas en serio?, you’ve been to my mom’s house, i didn’t know families actually talked to each other over dinner is amazing plus grandma was just telling me all the trouble you caused as a child” the teases and i laugh of course she did
“the fly paper story?” i ask cause my abuela's weapon of choice growing up was this thing called matamoscas and she may or may not have broken a couple on my head as well and by may i mean … she did! in my defence I’ve always loved to play outside with the ball and the dog and sometimes I missed. by the time I was nine I knew better and i just hide them behind the fridge.
By the time people are leaving and the pile of dishes reach the ceiling i decide that since Peeta and my abuela made dinner is only fair i do the dishes so i put on some music and enlist Prim to help and we began. the music is playing andi can’t help but to think how much i miss this, is not very often that we get to come back home and my parents aren’t even here but i miss this so i let the music take over me. as Gloria Estefan laments how much she misses her land. i know the feeling
la tierra te empuja de raíz y cal
We continue to dance and goff around for a bit when the motonan of dishes are done i turn around and find Peeta looking at me with eyes so intense i catch my breath and when he takes my hand pulls me to him and we sway for a bit the giggle that scapes me is embarrassing but i let it be.
Someone clears their throat and my abuela is looking at us with this look
“Para cuando la boda?” she says
“Abuelita!” i say in bewilderment and she laughs a little at me but lets is go for the time being, my god that woman is fast i feel Peeta chuckling behind me
“What are you laughing at?” I elbow him but i join non the less as we make our way to the back yard
yeah i was this trip is gonna be interesting
The next day we get up early and go on a hike to the mountain my papa used to take us a kids and make a picnic of it
“i can why you like is so much here” Peeta says as he takes a bite of the sandwiches we made this morning
“ I mean is just a mountain but we used to play here all the time and dad would hunt and he’d get like rabbits and stuff but I love it” i say to him and I get comfortable with head on his lap
“ Thank you for showing me here, is beautiful” i smile, his hands come to play with my heart
and is so relaxing with the sun and him and i don’t wanna let go
“Are you ding a crown on my hair?” i chuckle because he’s definitely doing that right now
“ No. be quiet “ he says and continues to mess with my hair, i find myself drifting off
I dream about a life with this man and what it could mean … peace and stability and love.
I dream about me being brave enough to put my shit to rest and just say yes …he’s asked before and I’ve said a lameass “ I’ll think about it “ but I now know he’s here to stay and I’m here to stay so … I’ll do it
I dream about this light in my life that came to me when I was working and his only niece got lost on the park, never have I ever felt a connection so powerful as i did that day, we became fast friends which was rare for me, I’m more in the antisocial side and he just isn’t he can charm everyone. and I just felt into his spell and i'm so glad I did
a soft hand wakes me up from my nap and i see the sunset when i open my eyes
He’s favorite color, i smile
“ I will” I whisper to him
“ Let’s do it … let’s get married” I rush out the word before i lose my nerve
“ Ok .. yeah! let’s get married “ He says and he turn me around in his arms and hi lips are on mine in a kiss so intimate that bring happy tears to my eyes. and we kiss some more before letting go and we go back to the house, I won't do anything tonight since we’re at my grandma’s but good thing is a week long trip only
