Macaroni Time!
(Spencer's POV)
I grabbed the dishes from the cabinets and started setting the table as my mom finished frying the fish sticks. Well Teddy was exactly what I thought she would be from what my father explained, she wasn't a Tom Boy but she wasn't that feminine either. She had a sort of attitude that as soon as I saw her I automatically thought of Michelle Rodriguez. There was no doubt though the girl was gorgeous her style was very attractive.
I was really looking forward to meeting her but my intentions were never the wrong ones. Just that my dad sort of explained her story to me and I knew she must be a very sweet girl and we would become great friends, but I have to admit when I saw her I couldn't help but check her out. The girl was over the top, in my eyes she will never be as beautiful as my Ashley but she was close.
Now don't go thinking I was going to be unfaithful but I mean when you have to give credit you give it and this girl deserved her credit. I was snapped out of my thoughts to Teddy's voice.
"You need some help with that?" she asked as she walked over to me by the table. She looked directly into my eyes and I blushed because it felt as if she had heard the whole conversation which was going on in my head.
I smiled, "Yeah thank you." I handed her some of the plates, forks and spoons.
"So…" she said as she began setting the dishes, "tell me about this girlfriend of yours."
I looked at her surprised, "My dad told you about Ashley?"
She chuckled, "No just kind of obvious you have a girlfriend."
I looked at her puzzled, "And how is that?"
She looked at me and smiled. "Your just to hot to be single." She said in a matter of fact tone.
My jaw dropped and I laughed, "Oh really?"
"Yes really," she said as we finished. "So her name is Ashley huh?"
I smiled, "Yes, yes it is."
I sat on the chair and tapped the chair next to me. She sat down next to me and raised her right eye brow, "Cute name. Is she as hot as her name makes me believe?"
Wow she looked really sexy doing that. "Umm yea she is." I said and giggled.
"Well I gotta meet her then." She said and smiled. "Don't worry, I wont take her off of you." She said teasingly.
I laughed, "Oh no I don't think that's possible, but I really want you to meet her I know you guys will really get along."
"If she is as crazy as me then yeah I think we will." She said as she played with the fork in between her fingers.
I smiled as I took the fork out of her hand and put it down on the table. I jumped up as our hands brushed lightly and I felt a static shock. She raised her eye brow and smiled a very cute half smile.
"We're electric,"she said. I giggled and she chuckled softly.
If it wasn't for the fact that I pay attention in science class I would totally be thinking that the static shock meant something.
I was snapped out of thought by my mom's voice, "Spence come help me out with this." Teddy and I stood up at the same time and walked over to the kitchen.
I smiled, "Its ok I can do it."
She smiled," If you haven't noticed I am a very hyper active person so I can't really just sit around, it makes me uncomfortable."
My mom laughed, "Its ok Spence if she wants to help, let her."
I smiled, "Ok mom, just don't think its right that the first day you come here we have you working."
Teddy laughed, "Oh please it's not like you have a gun to my head." She said as she grabbed the bowl of Macaroni and Cheese. "I'm asking you to let me help so yeah. Plus the faster we serve the faster we can eat." She said as she took a deep breath of Macaroni and Cheese in.
My mom and I laughed as we all three walked over to the table and set the food down.
"Boys! My mom called out as we sat down.
The boys came running over to the dining room with my father following behind them slowly. They sat down and settled down, Teddy looked around the table with this cute puzzled face on. I grabbed her hand in mines, luckily no static shock this time. Everyone around the table grabbed hands and Teddy smiled.
She looked down at our joined hands. "Cool you guys say grace?"
Everybody laughed and she put a very cute confident smile, she really liked making people laugh. "Yes we do Teddy." My mom said as she closed her eyes. She opened them again and said, "Hey why don't we give you the honor of saying grace."
Teddy smiled brightly, "Ok no problem."
We all closed our eyes only to be interrupted by my father, "Oooh say it Spanish."
She laughed, "Ok Spanish it is." She looked around the table. "Any other request? Jump up and down on one leg while I hold my breath."
We all laughed and my mother said, "No Teddy that would be all."
She chuckled, "Ok." We closed our eyes and I felt tingles run through me as her perfect Spanish accent ran through my ears.
"Padre," she said, "gracias por esta comida que nos has brindado en este día. Por siempre suplir para nosotros y la bendición de otro día de vida. Por la bendición de conocer a esta hermosa familia y la paz de saber que todo estará bien de ahora en adelante. Amen."
I really had no clue what she had said I only understood about five words and one of them was Amen which we all responded back when she was done.
My mother looked at her curiously and smiled, "So what did that mean?"
Teddy chuckled, "It meant; Father thanks for this food and for supplying for us today. For always supplying for us and the blessing of another day of life. For the blessing of having met this beautiful family and the peace of knowing that everything will be ok from now on."
My father smiled at her and she put on a very bright smile. She looked down at our hands which were the only ones who were still locked at the table. She raised her eyebrow and smiled. "I think I need that hand to eat."
I blushed and quickly let it go. "Oh my god I'm sorry…I just spaced out…I was thinking about…I was admiring your umm…"
She laughed and my family joined in. "Its ok Blondie relax. Don't have to have a Seeger."
I looked down at my plate completely embarrassed. "Ok well let's eat." My mother said completely saving me.
"Alright!" Teddy said as she grabbed the Mac and Cheese my mother handed her. I laughed as I grabbed the bowl from Teddy hands once she was done serving herself.
As we all served ourselves my mom asked, "So Teddy how is it over there where you use to live."
She smiled, "Well Puerto Rico is very hot during the day. Some nights it's cool but not always. It's very beautiful, there's a lot of trees and everywhere you look there's a gorgeous view of nature. There's always birds singing during the day and during the nights the Coquies, which as it is known is the Puertorrican frog, sings its very soothing anthem. It sounds like this." She whistled two quick notes. "During the night you can hear thousands of them everywhere all around you singing in the night."
My mother smiled as we listened to Teddy explain her homeland with poetic words.
"I'm going to miss it, but I know its all for the best." She said as she looked down at her plate.
I reached over and squeezed her hand gently for support. She smiled sweetly at me and continued talking. "Its very beautiful, though the government is the worst and the school department doesn't have the best support but the people are all wonderful and friendly."
I studied her explanation in my head. Puerto Rico seemed like a very beautiful place, I would definitely have to visit.
We finished eating and Teddy insisted until she convinced my mother and me to let her do the dishes. I allowed it but only because she agreed to let me help her. We stood over the sink just chatting and washing dishes. I, laughing like a maniac whenever Teddy said one of her very funny jokes or ironic comments.
Once done I grabbed her by the hand and took her over to the stairs. "Dad we're going up to my room!" I shouted as we started walking up.
"Ok but remember I have to take Teddy over to her new family by nine ok?" My dad shouted over to us from the living room.
"No problem Mr. C!" Teddy shouted back as we ran up.
I smiled ironic enough she called my dad the same thing my girlfriend called him. We walked into my room and I closed the door, I couldn't help but feel nervous at being alone in my room with her.
