nodding in agreement.
“I’m feliz for you,” said Ricky. “I think I remember her when she used to hang around tu casa, Jose Enrique. Paty y Jessy must have been in high school. I used to see her look at you with lots of love, but you didn’t even know she was there.”
“Well now I do know she is there, and I also know that she is toda mia,” said Jose Enrique with a possessive note in his voz.
“Primo, don’t get defensive. We know that Jessy es tu novia y tu future esposa. We can see that you’re serious,” said Tony, shaking his cabeza.
“Jessy is in love with you, and I hope that you are serious, Jose Enrique,” said Alex, looking at Jose Enrique.
“So Jessy is going to work at la familia’s company as the interior design manager. At first I thought it was a crazy idea, and after thinking about it I realized it will be a great new direction to take the company,” said Ricky, taking a drink of his cerveza.
“It does sound like it will work out. Jessy and I can collaborate as I design the buildings, and she can design the interior decoration as we go through the projects. I can see the benefit y the service that we can provide our clients,” said Tony, nodding.
The waiter approaches the table. “Will you like something to drink, sir?” asks the waiter, looking at the group.
“Yes, please bring me a bottle of champagne, the best one, El Patron tequila for some shots, and a margarita, blended,” said Jose Enrique, looking at his primos with a raised eyebrow.
“It will be just a moment, sir,” said the waiter, taking the order. Damn, this group is really going to celebrate.
“I can see that we are really celebrating our new manager and the future wedding,” said Ricky with some amusement. “I am so feliz it’s you y not me getting married, primo.” Ricky laughs, drinking his cerveza.
“Are we going to the club after dinner?” asks Tony.
“I want to spend some time with Jessy, primos. You guys can go y have fun,” said Jose Enrique, waiting for their reactions.
“Great, you’re not even married yet, y you’re starting to pull away from us,” said Alex. “I know that you want to spend some time with Jessy, but you can spend time with Jessy at the club.”
“I cannot wait to see you locos fall, y I hope you fall hard,” said Jose Enrique. He turns around to see if the mujers are coming back.
“I can see why you were stressing out last week,” said Alex. “I think that you have fallen hard,” he said, trying not to laugh at his primo.
Las primas y Jessy are in the ladies bano. Jessy starts to cry again.
“Jessy, are you okay? Why are you crying?” asks Paty with Bella at her side as they give Jessy some tissue.
“Jessy, you can tell us. We will not tell Jose Enrique. Are you not sure of your feelings? Don’t you want to marry him?” asks Bella. “I thought you have always dreamed of Jose Enrique.”
“Jessy, please stop crying. Tell me what’s wrong,” asks Paty. “You know I’m here for you. It doesn’t matter that he is mi hermano.”
Jessy is so feliz y just cannot stop crying. I better stop crying. Mi cara y ojos will get really red. I don’t want Jose Enrique to see me like that.
“Paty, Bella, I’m crying because I am extremely feliz. Si, I still love Jose Enrique. I just thought it will be a while before we planned our wedding,” said Jessy with a huge smile.
“Jessy, you don’t know how feliz I am for you y for mi hermano,” said Paty, smiling at Jessy. “I always knew that you two are perfect together y obviously so did dios. Jessy, there are a lot of things to plan for tu boda. You need to get tu ring. Have tu dinner for the asking of tu mano. Set the wedding date. Get the wedding dress y the maids’ dresses. Jessy, Bella and I will be tu bridesmaids, y you know you’re stuck with us now.”
“Si, I cannot wait. You will need to pick a nice color for tu boda,” said Bella, smiling. This is so much fun.
