Chapter 3
Before Betty could even say "hello", Christina said "Oh my god Betty! Are you Ok?, sorry for not being there for you, been filling kind of dizzy today!"
Betty noticed worry in her friend's voice and calm her down "yeah! I'm fine", too chipper to be true.
While she was opening her mouth to ask her pregnant friend about her dizziness, Christina said "oh! I think my water just broke!"
Betty remained shocked and after a few seconds managed to say "but you are due in two months, are you sure?!!" Too loud that her family and the Meades heard her voice, although they couldn't understand what she said.
"Of course Im sure!! Im the one who is pregnant here!!" said hormotional Christina.
"O...ok, erm...Daniel is here, you should talk to him...and call Wilelmina then..." Betty said while she walked towards her tall blue-eyed friend and handled the phone.
He looked rising his eyebrows, "Its Christina" answered Betty to the implicit question.
Daniel took the phone and walked away to talk to her almost stepmonster 's surrogate
As soon as he left, Betty felt two arms holding her from behind, she jumped surprised and then relaxed when she heard her roommate's typical voice "hey Betty!, sorry I didn't called, but Mr Grinch..."Betty raised an eyebrow, so Amanda clarified "my boss from my new job...didn't let me use the cellphone, every time I grabbed it, he pointed the sign in the wall 'not cellphones allowed' "
Betty a little shocked, but pleased about her pseudo-friend calmed her "its ok Amanda, thanks for coming" and returned the hug
But Amanda was entertained with something else...or someone else Betty thought as she saw a tall green- eyed and toasted skin handsome men walking towards them.
He stopped in front of them and while he handled a hand to Betty he said while they shooked hands"you are Miss Betty Suarez I presume"
She petrified when she heard her name and after a few seconds said "yeah, its me"
In the mien time Amanda burned with jealousy hey! I'm the pretty one here, he should know me, not her,she thought
The visitor said "first of all, sorry for your loss, I didn't know him, but Mirta talked about him all the time"
Betty's mouth and eyes wide opened at the name of her father's sister and she said "you know Mirta?"
"yes...I'm engaged to Maria, her daughter" Amanda contained a scream while he said that.
After a while added "I'm Pedro Gonzales by the way"
"well Pedro nice to meet you...and Congratulations!" Betty truly happy said
In that moment Daniel who had just hanged up the phone was watching the whole scene and he wasn't pleased at all...who is that man, what is is he doing here and why is Betty so emotioned? He thought
"Anyway..."Pedro continued "I know this is probably not the right time to discuss what I came here to...but as the wedding is next week, there is no other moment when I can do it...are you ok with this?"
Betty, curiosed about what this man come to talk about, a week before his wedding to a relative of hers so she said "yeah..its Ok if there is no other time..."
And they excused Amanda and went to the coffeehouse to talk
Leaving her alone, but not for a long time because Daniel curioused as hell approached almost instantly "hey Amanda, do you know who that man was?"
She turned to watch him, why are you so interested?.she almost said, but instead answered "some guy related to Betty, from Mexico I think"
At the sound of that, Daniel's mind started spinning around , Related?what kind of relationship?...ok Daniel why are you so thrilled about this, she is Betty for god's sake not some girlfriend! Did I just said girlfriend?oK so now I'm definitely going to kill mom for putting some crazy ideas in my head about me and Betty!
"Earth to Daniel!!...someone in there?!" Amanda said half joking causing him to wake up from his trance and said " I have to find mom, Christina is about to give birth, and where is Betty?" the second he said that he regretted it because he already knew the answer...she is with that man...
