Kiara's family is throwing me a going away party at their house. I used to live there but after the shooting mi'ama and my little brother Luis moved to Colorado from Meixco and now I live with them. I'm sittin' in the my old room, still that same damn yellow color on the walls, I start thinking about what if I never came to Colorado and moved in with the Westfords. I know I probably would have never met or been with Kiara and I never wanna go back to a life without her. As I'm thinkin I hear a knock on the door and then it opens... Its my novia, Kiara.
"Hey, Carlos, Can I come in?"
"Of course chica." She comes in but i notice that she is a little hesitant so i get up and pull her to the bed to sit next to me. I take her hand in mine and look at her, she looks as if she is about to cry. I cup her face in my hand.
"Kiara, whats wrong?" She turns her head away from me making my hand drop. "N-nothing." I make her look at me. "Chica, if nothin' was wrong then you wouldn't be lookin' like you're 'bout to cry, you wouldn't turn away from me and you sure as hell wouldn't be stuttering, now tell me what's wrong." As I say this I look deep into her eyes and find my self tear up because soon her eyes, her face, her body and, her voice will just be in my heart.
"I-I-I d-don't w-want you to leave." I was about to say somethin' but she looked as if she wanted to say more so i stayed slient. "I love you more than anything Carlos, and we have spent everyday with each other since that night you were in the hospital and I can't take spending one hour or one day without you much less weeks and months without you."
I notice a tear escape and she goes to wipe it but i grab her arm and kiss the tear and then kiss her lips. Our foreheads are touching and I look into her eyes.
"Kiara, I love you more than anything in this world, nothing or no one will ever compare to how I feel about you and as much as I don't wanna leave and can't stand knowin' that I'm going to be away from you for so long, but I know that by going away I'm makin' myself a better man for you because you deserve more things than I can give now." I notice that she is crying more than before and I sigh.
"Chica, why are you crying now."
"Because I'm happy, and plus I'm girl you know it's what we do." I think about what I'm about to say next and a smile creeps on my face.
" Oh Trust me Chica, I definitely know your a girl." She punches me in the arm... "God, Carlos way to ruin a moment with your Fuentes ego. "
"Chica, you know you love my ego."
"You're right Chico, I do love your ego."
"Did you just call me Chico?" She blushes and says. "Yeah, I just figured since you always called me Chica I thought I would call you Chico."
"I don't like chico how about sexy." I smile because I know she wont call me sexy .
"How about this I call you babe because I will not call you sexy."
"Babe, works for me Chica" As I look at her I notice her eyes move from my eyes to me lips then back to my eyes and she licks her lips why doing this. I lean in to kiss her but my brother Alex is standing at the door and clears his throat. I give him the finger and as I start to get closer to Kiara's lips Alex says, " Bro, this is your party so you better get your ass away from your novia and out here with the rest of the guests." I pull away from Kiara because I know if gave her just one little kiss I wouldn't wanna stop so i get up and grab my sweet chica and head for the door. As we pass Alex I hear her say. "You know Alex I may just have to kick your ass at the shop for interrupting us." Alex just looks at her and walks away. I smile. "That's my mamacita." and I press my lips to hers.
