Chapter 32:
Just as Beth and I were talking about my situation with Miguel, this was what was
happening at the nearest table:
Miguel and Luis were having a brotherly talk.
"What's going on between you and Kay?" Luis asked Miguel.
"Nothing," Miguel scoffed. "She needed a ride here so I gave her one."
Luis raised his eyebrows not believing anything his little brother was saying.
"Is that all? There seems to be something going on between the two of you. Just like
before."
Miguel was sick of hearing that. It was as if his whole family was spying on him. Every
little move he made that showed an OUNCE of kindness towards me was viewed as him still
loving me.
"Why would you think something is up between us? Did you forget that I am married
to someone else?" Miguel retaliated angrily.
"Did you?" Luis asked back. Miguel never seemed happy with Charity, even on his
recent wedding day. Luis stood up and headed back to Beth's table, leaving Miguel to sit
there and think about himself, me and Ricky.
Finally a formal introduction was made for the happy married couples. One by one they
entered the reception hall and began to dance.
The dance floor was only open for those 3 merry couples. They looked so happy!
I was ecstatic for them. I was sitting down in a table with Ricky, Miguel, Beth, Luis,
Gary, Jessica, Theresa, Ethan, and their son Steve.
"Hi, honey," I said to Ricky, giving him a hug. "Did you have fun with Gary?"
"Yes, Mommy," Ricky answered. "But where were you?"
"I was with your Daddy, honey," I replied. I pointed to Miguel. "You still remember
him, right?"
Ricky nodded but did not even give his father a glance. I looked up to see Miguel's
expression. He held a pained look. On Ricky's birthday, the two of them had gotten close. But
after Miguel had left the way he had that day, Ricky was upset. For himself and for me. I
could tell that he wanted nothing to do with his daddy now. It kind of hurt to see Ricky act that
way towards Miguel. We were supposed to be a family! Not an estranged group of people! I
was just on the verge of tears but the dances between the three couples ended and I began to
focus on that instead.
I looked at the dance floor where Daddy had just gotten the microphone from the head
singer.
"I want to say thank you to everyone for coming. I hope you all have a great time as
we all definitely will!" He winked at Ivy and the other two couples.
A few seconds later, the dance music came back on. I couldn't take my eyes off of
Daddy, Noah, Uncle Hank and their beautiful brides. They were so in love. I just wished that
one day I could have what they were experiencing right now. But only with Miguel of course.
That is if everything worked out between us.
The dance floor got pretty filled as many people got up to dance. Beth and Luis.
Theresa and Ethan. Sheridan and Antonio. Chad and Whitney. Even Jessica and Simone (who
didn't have boyfriends) were dancing with Reese Durkee and Jacob Hotchkiss respectively.
The only people left on my table was me, Gary, Ricky, Steve and Miguel.
I turned to look at Miguel. He had just admitted to me that he didn't love Charity, but
did that mean that he still loved me? I didn't know, but I had to find out.
"How about a dance, Miguel?" I said, extending my hand.
He nodded, quietly. He took my extended hand, as we walked over to the dance floor.
The song being sung at the moment was a slow tune. I put my arms around his neck,
savoring every second that I was around him like this.
"Kay," Miguel said uncomfortably. "You're getting too close for comfort. I'm not your
boyfriend anymore. I'm Charity's husband. You have to understand that."
"Hmm, but Miguel, this is where I belong! In your arms.... And you know it, too."
"Kay!" Miguel cried out. "Stop it! We're never going to be together again. You have
to understand that."
I was getting a bit upset now. "Miguel," I said, fed up with all of this bullshit. "let me
ask you something."
He looked at me expectantly. "Go ahead," he said.
"What's the one thing that could have made me leave Harmony? Why would I leave,
Miguel? When I recently had given birth to a beautiful boy and we were finally together - why
would I leave and decide to go to college?"
Miguel stared at me, bewildered at my question. "I don't know, Kay. I've been trying
to figure that out for five years now. Why don't you tell me."
Just as I was to open my mouth to FINALLY let him know of the truth, the song ended
and everyone began to return to their seats.
{a/n: ok ok i know im dragging out this thing with kay telling miguel the truth. its
almost becoming as bad as luis and sheridan telling antonio the truth in Passions. lol. but still.
it'll be worth the wait. ;) keep reading and reviewing please! oh and PLEASE r/r my other fics.
