“Jose? What are u doing here?” Alejandro asked in surprise.
Jose stepped vooruit, voorwaarts and I had to admit: He was handsome, but no Alejandro; Alejandro was the only man for me.
“Didn’t Mom tell you? I was sent home pagina while the campus is getting cleaned from a flu outbreak,” I guess he noticed me, “This must be your girlfriend. I never thought that u would have done this well, Al. She’s beautiful,” He stepped over to me, pulling my right hand up and kissing it, “Pleasure to—“
He didn’t have time to finish; I used my hand to slap him before he could. He must’ve been too shocked to continue on.
Jose laughed, “She’s feisty, isn’t she?”
“Damn right I’m going to be feisty,” I snapped.
“You could do so much better than Al, maybe someone like me.”
“Fuck you,” I growled under my breather, but I don’t think he heard me.
“Just leave her alone, Jose,” Alejandro stepped in.
“Oh, I’m just getting started, Al.”
“Don’t call me that!”
“Oh, Alejandro,” Mrs. Burromuerto came out of the kitchen, drying her hands on a towel, “You’re home, and u brought Heather with you. How are u dear?”
“Fine,” I replied.
“Can u come here for a minute, Heather?”
I nodded and followed her into the kitchen. She motioned for me to sit down at the table, which I did. She sat down across from me after she laid the towel that she had been holding onto the counter, “I’ve seen how you’ve been acting recently.”
“I don’t understand what u mean.”
“I can tell that you’re pregnant, dear, and you’re showing, which added to my suspicions.”
I was speechless. She knew? So many other vragen swarmed around my mind.
She reached across the tafel, tabel and put a hand on my upper arm, “I’m glad that it was u that Alejandro got pregnant and not one of the vorige girlfriends he’s had.”
“Um…”
“I’m not angry, either. I’m disappointed that he went and did something like that, but we can’t change what’s happened, can we?”
“No.”
“I just want to let u know, if u need anything, don’t be afraid to ask.”
I nodded. I didn’t know what else to say. I was speechless still. I couldn’t believe that she had figured out. Was it that obvious? And if it was, how many other people knew?
I had so many things on my mind as I stood up from the chair I was sitting in. I must have stood up too quickly because before I knew it, everything went black and I couldn’t feel anything. I just felt so limp.
