Daniel felt his bed shift, he woke with a start, for his bed to be moving that only meant one thing.
-You woke up! – he said smiling and hugging her, even though he only had experienced animosity with her – Four fucking days.
-Four days what? – asked Barbara confused, she looked around and then what happened came to her mind – Oh, I fainted!
He looked at her and she gave him a look full of compassion.
-Sorry for your father – she said, he looked at her surprised, only Manny knew what had happened to his father, he tried to keep it a secret, so how did she knew it – That's why you hate Diego and Sergio so much, your hate for their father was passed to the sons.
-How do you know that? – he asked concerned, did her fiancé told her something about it?
-I saw it – she said looking away from him – When I touched you, I saw your mother, she told you that your father had been killed by Diego Chipotle Sr.
He looked at her back with shock; he couldn't believe she had seen a part of his past, a part of his past that was well hidden in his mind. He was going to say something when the bedroom door opened and Frida entered running, she rugged her friend while crying.
-Sorry, couldn't keep her away – Manny apologized, he was leaning against the door with his arms crossed in his chest – You know, we heard everything.
-I was expecting something like that from you – Daniel said getting up and walking to his friend, he stopped in the door, his back to his bed – What do you think?
-Think it might come in handle – Manny said with a smirk, Daniel only walked away.

Manny saw Frida leaning against the door frame with a thoughtful look n her face.
-So you're saying that Daniel's father was killed my Diego Sr? – she asked having a hard time to believe it.
-Yeah, he actually murdered Daniel's father when the poor boy was six – Manny said without smiling.
-Poor him, now I get why he's so reserved – Frida said walking to Manny's bed, she sat and looked at the ceiling – You know something, I have older sisters, twins as a mather of fact.
-That's interesting – he said looking at her with a bored expression.
-Nah, it isn't – she said and they both shared a laugh – The interesting is that, even tough, they finished each other sentences, had the same tastes, had the same job, they married two complete different guys. Nikita's husband is a politician, right now she is in Michigan with him. Anita, I don't know where she is, maybe sailing the seven seas with her dear pirate. They had to run, mom and dad didn't wanted one of their girls to marry some pirate, no offense, I love adventure.
-Already had figured – Manny said with his trademark smile, the one that made Frida melt.
-So how long until we reach the harbor? – she asked looking to the small window.
-One day – he answered getting up – I think your friend will be okay by then.
-Yeah, she always had an amazing auto-healing process – Frida said also leaving the room.
-Figured – Manny said, now he was the one deep in his thoughts.

-Are you okay? – Daniel asked, looking at the paler face of Barbara, she looked at him and at the first time in all the hours they passed together, she gave him a true smile.
-Yeah – she said walking through the crowded street, she looked at him, what was kind of painful because he was much taller than her – I know I fainted only four days ago, but I don't need a bodyguard.
-Yes you do – he said smiling, she felt her heart flutter, he ran a hand through his hair and gave her a grin – Your friend is with Manny, we're with you so you don't try to run.
She huffed in annoyance, but soon forgot about it when she saw something that caught her eye, in one of the shops windows there was the most beautiful outfit she had ever seen.
It consisted in black ballet flats, skinny black pants, a white shirt with flowing sleeves and that would leave her shoulders naked, and a black vest. Daniel looked at the mannequin and took a deep breath, if she already was alluring in the outfit she was wearing; she would be much more in the one of the window.
-I want that! – she said looking at him with a pleading face.
-Sure – he said, smacking himself for consenting with something that would make his life a living hell.

Frida signed in happiness as the sweet taste of the churro she was eating was felt. She had always loved those pastries; they were so good, so delicious, so… so…perfect.
Manny looked at her with a playful grin in his lips, she looked cute eating the churro he bought to her, she had her mouth full and a true smile spread in her pink lips. The urge to kiss her was overwhelming; he truly wanted to grab her waist and connect their lips, feeling the soft flesh and the sweet taste of the churro she just…
-Are you okay? – she asked looking at him with a devious smile – You are staring at me.
-Hum, yeah, just thinking – he said a small amount of pink covering his cheeks, his hand stroking the back of his neck nervously – You know, about what happened to Barbara.
-Humhum – she said with a smile that said she hadn't believed in nothing of what he had said.
He signed and got up, she followed him, her smile never fading. Someone caught her eye, a brunette holding hands with a blonde guy, they had what appeared to be pirate clothes. She recognized the woman, she started running while calling her name.
-Anita – Frida screamed, the woman looked at the direction of the scream and a smile appeared, she let go of the blonde's hand and ran to her sister, when the two met, they hugged each other, spinning – I've missed you so much!
-Me too, pumpkins – Anita said smiling, Frida looked a little upset for hearing her sister's nickname for her, but it quickly disappeared.
-Nice to see you again, Frida – the blonde guy said smiling, he too hugged her.
-Feel the same way, Tom – she said looking at the pirate couple with happiness – Have you talked to Nikita, yet?
-Yes, we went there last year, when her husband was in a business trip – Anita told her sister – She has a little five years old boy named Rudolph, after daddy.
-Yeah, and with mom and dad, have you talked or saw them? – Frida asked looking a little sad.
-No – Tom said looking disappointed – I wished I could take Anita to see them, but they don't approve our marriage.
-Sorry about that – Frida said, she felt a hand in her shoulder, looking up she saw Manny, he looked playful.
-So you got yourself a wife – he said smiling.
-Yes, did you got one too? – Tom asked, teasing Manny as well-
-Nah, she's a way to blackmail Diego and Sergio – Manny said, but he saw that the answer he gave wasn't a good one.
-You are using my sister to what? – Anita screamed.
