an important step en tu vida. Are we going to have the pleasure of meeting tu novia before the wedding takes place?” asks papa Francisco gazing into his hijo’s ojos.
I’m so troubled that Jose Enrique has lost todo el amor, respect, y faith en su mama y yo , thought papa Francisco. I can see that he is realizing that he has neglected to keep us in the loop about a very important step he is contemplating on taking. Gracias dios mio, I can see he did not intend to, and what a relief this is.
“I’m sorry papa. I didn’t mean to keep you y mi mama out of mis plans. This is all transpiring so quickly. I haven’t had an opportunity to speak to you y mi mama. All I did was make a comment to mi loco primos, y the next thing I knew, everybody knows. Of course I will bring mi novia over to meet you y mi mama soon,” said Jose Enrique grinning, “I promise it will be soon. Then you y mi mama will be running after sus nietos before you even know it.”
I just cannot keep from laughing. Oh boy. What if mi novia did not work out? I think that la familia will understand if it comes to an end. All relationships are a risk, and maybe this will work out. It will of course. I am confident, because of what Paty has disclosed to me about mi novia. I truly have a feeling mi novia is special. Paty was real excited when she informed me about her.
“Mi hijo don’t tease us. Tu mama and I have been waiting a long time for more nietos,” laughs Papa Francisco shaking his cabeza. He rubs his neck as he glances over at his adorada esposa Queta. I know that mi Queta is going to be extremely feliz when Jose Enrique’s bebe is finally here.
“Okay papa, I’m going to rest. Mañana is a busy day y I want to be rested. Okay, I love you,” said Jose Enrique giving his papa a hug y his mama a smile, “buenas noches.”
“Que dios te bendiga, mi hijo,” said papa Francisco as he blisses his hijo.
CHAPTER FIVE
WHAT A HERMOSO DIA , THOUGHT Jose Enrique as he starts the carro. I think I will drive to work with the convertible top down.
He backs out of drive way whistling to his favorite song on the stereo. I know that mi novia is showing up today. I hope that she is as bella as Paty states.
Jose Enrique arrives at la familia compania parking garage. He parks his baby in his special parking spot. He then walks to the elevator. Jose Enrique runs into Tony.
“Tony you’re ready for the meeting with our clients?” asks Jose Enrique pushing the button for the elevator. “You know that they are very special y real demanding. I know that you have been working hard on this project. They should be here in an hour.”
“Si the project is ready for the presentation,” said Tony as he pushes the button inside the elevator. “The presentation should be over by noon,” said Tony, walking into the elevator.
“That sounds great Tony. I have a meeting with mi novia y Paty at one. Mi novia will be here today to present a project for the interior design for our office buildings,” said Jose Enrique with a grin stepping into the elevator.
I know that this information will spread quickly y that the entire familia will know in about five minutes, thought Jose Enrique. Maybe I should tell Ms. Jones that la familia will be calling, and to advise them that I am busy at meetings all day. I can just see all their caras.
“You’re kidding! Tu novia will be here today?” asks Tony as he glares at Jose Enrique. “And you’re just telling me now? You know that I have a very important meeting with our clients from New York this afternoon. You did this on purpose. You don’t want any of la familia to meet tu novia, do you?”
“La familia will meet mi novia,” said Jose Enrique calmly with a smile. I know this is killing la familia.
“You better advise Bella y Ricky not to even try to walk into the meeting. I will have the door locked. I will introduce you to mi novia after the meeting, okay?” said Jose Enrique in his firm CEO
