Chapter 6
Today was a very special day; it was a day of love. Yes, it was Valentines Day. Everyone was busy doing his or her own things. Sheridan was sitting in the living room watching TV. She did not know what to do. She didn't have a valentine. She was so bored. Theresa, Paloma, Miguel and Ethan all had a date. Well Theresa and Ethan were going out so they were already together. Some guy had asked Paloma out for Valentines Day, Miguel was going out with Charity. Everyone had someone to be with but her. What she didn't know was that Luis had a surprise for her tonight. He didn't had a date either and he decided that today was going to be a day he will tell Sheridan that he loves her more than a friend. It has been a long time and now he came to realize that he did love her. He knew there was a chance that Sheridan may not love him that way. But he would take that chance any ways. He had a very romantic idea in his head. He asked for everyone else' help and they all agreed to help him. Everyone was in the kitchen, and Sheridan was still in the living room. All of a sudden all the lights of the house went out. Sheridan quickly jumped up from the sofa and started calling for everyone.
"Guys where are you?" She called out to everyone.
She got no response back so she called again.
"Mom, dad, where are you?" She called out to Pilar and Martine.
A few seconds later Mel came out of the Kitchen with a candle that had a fire as a heart. It was really cute. Sheridan heard the door open she looked around and she saw Mel with a cute red-hearted note and a candle.
"Mel, what is going on?" She asked Mel confused.
Mel didn't say anything; she just gave her the note that was in her hand. Mel left her alone after she gave Sheridan the note. Sheridan looked everywhere for a moment awfully puzzled and then decided to read the note. The note was from Luis. She smiled, 'he could've just gave me the note him self'. She read the note out loud:
My dearest Sheridan
Ever since we used to laugh and cry about small things, I've loved you
Ever since we used to dance in the rain, I've loved you
When we used to sneak out to the terrace and count the stars… I've loved you
Now, I myself, have forgotten since, when I've loved you.
I can only say, that I've loved you and only you.
Love,
Luis
There was soft music playing in the back as Sheridan read the note Luis wrote her. Sheridan was in tears. She looked up from the note he had sent her and saw candles everywhere. She was amazed and shocked. She turned around and saw Luis standing at the Kitchen door. She looked at Luis, their eyes met right away. They both started to walk up to each other. Now they both were in the middle of the living room. There was something they didn't know that Theresa and Antonio were taping it, they both thought it was romantic and it was Luis and Sheridan's first time they were going to admit to each other they loved each other so it would be cool if they taped it. Sheridan looked at Luis and asked, "You love me so much?"
Luis in tears him self just nodded.
"Since when?" Sheridan asked again
"Always" he replied softly
"And till today, you never said a thing" She said sweetly in tears.
Luis just shrugged his shoulders.
"Idiot-Stupid-Now what are you doing standing and staring at my face, come on, take me in your arms" Sheridan said crying.
Luis opened his arms, Sheridan just jumped right into them, and they both hugged so tight and held on to each other for long time. They never wanted this moment to end. Sheridan pulled back and Luis wiped the tears away with his thumb and kissed her passionately. All of a sudden, all the lights came back on and everyone clapped their hands. Luis and Sheridan pulled away and were smiling at each other. Theresa ran to Luis and Sheridan and hugged them both and said "It's about time you guys go out, I've been waiting for long time for this."
"Well, thanks sis but how did you know we liked each other?" Luis asked
"Well, that's not hard to see because all the time you guys are trying to act weird around each other, I can tell by the eyes." Said Theresa.
"Mom, dad don't you think Theresa should be a matchmaker" Ethan said laughing.
Everyone else started laughing, but Theresa who was glaring at Ethan went up to him and kissed him on the lips. As soon as she kissed him Ethan pulled away and said "Maybe not"
Everyone laughed once again. Those two were nuts. Everyone was very happy for them. They knew they loved each other and belong together. Everyone went to the kitchen and saw a big cake on the kitchen table it was in a heart shape, it said "Happy Valentines day Sheridan" It was for Sheridan from Luis. Sheridan thought it was really sweet. Pilar told everyone that they should all eat dinner and then they can do whatever they want. She wanted everyone she loved to be together for at least one meal. Sheridan and Luis sat right next to each other and held hands under the table. Sheridan started to eat from her left hand until Martine asked "Sheridan since when do you eat from left hand"
Luis quickly spoke "Since she was a child"
Mel who knew something was going on. She looked under the table and saw Luis had his hand held right on Sheridan's' right hand.
She looked at everyone and said "Grand pa I can make that go away in one minute"
"Martine looked at Mel confused and said "How so?"
"Well just tell uncle leave to take his left hand away from aunty Sheridan's right hand." She said smiling
Luis quickly let go out Sheridan's hand and Sheridan choked on her food. Everyone started laughing.
"Mel I'll get you for that little joke later" Luis told Mel.
She just shrugged her shoulders. Everyone finished their dinner soon and left for their day. Luis took Sheridan to a very beautiful Valentines Day dance and then they went to the beach. Everyone had a great Valentines Day especially Luis and Sheridan.
