Chapter two has come!! In the previous chapter, Eliza was speaking spanish. Portugese (I hope I spelt that right) is spoken in Brazil. Don't kill me, I only have Spanish in my translator. I want to thank Craz for the first review.
A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL AND SOME OTHER SURPRISES
She's late. Again. I knew it. That girl couldn't possibly be on time even if her life depended on it. Suddenly, I felt someone jab me in the back. Turning around, I found myself face to face with a smiling Eliza.
"Eliza, why are you smiling? I thought you said you had something urgent to tell me." I said.
"And I do. But first, we have to find a good café. You won't be able to take the shock." she told me.
"Try me."
"I'm not going to 'try you'. All in good time, Li."
I stared at her when a random thought hit me.
"Since when do you have Garrett's number?" I asked. Eliza blushed and looked away.
"Well...we...I mean I...I'm...erm..." she stuttered.
"You're are what?" I asked encouragingly.
"I'm...estoy enamorado." she muttered. I raised an eyebrow.
"Estoy enamorado? You're in love with Garrett?" I asked
"NO! I mean, yes. I... I don't know what I mean."
My mood lifted immediately. Eliza, the most realistic and eloquent girl I know, had just fallen head over heels in love with Garrett and she didn't even know it. She was speechless. Yes! And, supposedly, I'm the one with her head in the clouds.
As we made our way towards the 'Diner', Eliza told me how she had been thinking about Garrett ever since she went back to Brazil to work on that idea Garrett had. Over ice-cream, she made me swear not to tell anyone.
"Fine, my lips are sealed," I answered after she had kept repeating how vital it was for Garrett not to find out, "but you have to tell me what was the important thing you wanted to tell me? Unless it was to admit your undying love for Garrett." I sniggered. Eliza glared at me so I got my act together.
"Your brother's getting married," she said. I stared at her, hoping that she would say more.
"Which one? And so what?" I asked when no further explanation came.
"Eduardo.Is. Getting. Married."
"Let me repeat myself, Eliza. I'm glad and all that, but why is that so urgent and secret that no one else can know?"
"Yeah, you're right. It doesn't matter that you're going to have Chelsea Micarados as your in-law." Eliza said. I choked on my ice-cream from shock. Eliza disappeared and then reappeared with a glass of water in her hands. I took a couple of gulps and my breath slowly went back to normal. We sat there a couple of minutes in total silence before we left, our ice-creams lay untouched. I led Eliza to the Aquatics Centre, hoping that the water might calm me down.
"Eliza, if you're pulling some prank on me-" I started.
"Lioness, it's not a prank. He really is getting married to her." she said.
"But didn't anyone talk to him? You? Alejandro?" I asked desperatly.
"Lioness,that happened ages ago. She's changed." Eliza whispered. I stared at her in disbelief.
"How? From bad to worse?!" I yelled. The thought of Chelsea and her crew sickened me.
"Please Li, don't yell. Alejandro and I have forgiven her, maybe you should to. It wasn't her fault."
"WASN'T HER FAULT?! Then who's was it? She enjoyed in pushing people like Jose around!" I shouted, beside myself in anger.
"Please, listen-"
"No, you listen! I thought he meant more to you! For God's sake Eliza, JOSE WAS YOUR BROTHER!!"
Eliza stared into the horizont and I could have sworn that I saw a tear in her eye. "I haven't forgotten." she whispered. I felt my insides squirm with guilt but before I could say or do anything to comfort her, screams and horns tore through the still summer air. Totally disoriented, I looked around for the source when Eliza tugged my sleeve pointing to the bridge. Apart from the chaos that was assuming it's place on the bridge, I could make out a cloacked figure. Instinctivly, I tore towards the bridge with my hand on my alpha-com. By the time I was at the foot of the bridge, the cloacked figure had turned around, bearing a familiar face. A familiar face that I desperatly wanted to forget. Axel's voice had pulled me out of my trance.
"Lioness, are you okay?"
"I...um, where's the rest of the team?" I asked
"Here. Except for Hawk. I think he's still-"
"Listen,find Hawk and meet me at the bridge by the Aquatics Centre." I said.
"Lioness, what happened? Are you okay?"
An evil cackle came from the bridge that made chills go down my spine.
"What was that?" Axel asked.
"Bonez is back." I murmured. Suddenly, a blonde figure darted past me. "Eliza,no!" I yelled to her retreating back.
"Li, wait for us."
"I can't." I said.
"He's too dangerous. Who nows what he's done to himself up to know! Lioness!"
But his voice was drowned out by all the screaming,smoke and laughter.
