To Love Preciado

Employment

My father has been gone for hours. My mom and I have been cleaning the house and enjoying each others company. It's rare that the two of us get some alone time. When my dad's gone my mom is a completely different person. Her true beauty shines; the outgoing, humorous woman comes out of hiding. I love her like this. Shit, I love her however she acts. I just prefer the happy version of her. Of course, happy mom has to go back inside though.
My father then burst through the front door. "Guess what bitches! This guy just got a job!" He actually sounded excited about this. Weird. "I start tomorrow so you whores better fucking do my laundry." He then ran upstairs and passed out, I guess he had a long day.


The Next Day

It's Saturday, sadly fall break is almost over. All morning my mother and I washed, dried, and ironed my father's clothes. It was now 2:00 p.m., my dad was getting ready to go to his new job. I guess he starts at 3:30 and gets off at 11:30.

He was actually wearing nice clothes, he cleaned up nicely. He was wearing tan slacks with a white button up. My mom was fixing the tie around his neck. I caught my mom smiling at my dad and he actually smiled back. What?! Could he possibly be sober? No, he can't live without his beer. Perhaps he's genuinely happy about being employed now.

My dad grabbed the keys to his truck and walked out the door. He was gone, my mother and I now have eight or nine hours to ourselves. I immediately knew what to do with that amount of time.

I rushed to my room and picked up my phone. In seconds I was on the phone with Jaime. "Hey, Babe!" I exclaimed.

"Hey, Lovely. What's going on?" he asked me.

"Do you want to come over?"

"Uh, what about your father?"

"He just got a job, so he'll be gone for a while. You can finally meet my mom!"

"Oh, sweet! Yeah, come pick me up!"

"Alrighty, I'll be there in a bit, Boo-Bear."

Jaime giggled at that pet name. "Alright, bye."

I put on my shoes in the blink of eye and then I was out the door. I'm so excited for him to meet my mom, she's going to love him! It only took a few minutes to get to his house. He jumped in my truck and I could smell his sweet yet manly cologne. His scent isn't strong, which I love. He was wearing black skinny jeans, red Vans, and a red and black checkered flannel. He looked so damn hot.

He leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Hi, Baby Girl." He smiled at me. "I'm super excited for this, I'm nervous to meet your mom though. What if she doesn't like me?"

"Don't worry, Jaime, I know she'll approve."

We pulled up in front of my house. "Wow, you have a nice house." he said.

"Thank you." I accepted the compliment even though my house doesn't even compare to his.

I opened the door and held it for him. It felt weird having someone over. I dragged him into the kitchen. My mom was sitting there sipping a glass of wine.

"Mom!" She looked up and smiled. "This is my boyfriend, Jaime." I practically yelled.

Jaime stuck out his hand towards her. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Garcia."

"Please, call me Diana." my mom said with a chuckle.

The three of us chatted a bit. I was absolutely thrilled that my boyfriend and my mother were getting along.

"How about we talk over dinner?" my mom suggested.

I nodded but Jaime seemed iffy. "Come on, Jaime! It'll be fun!" I said, tugging on his hand lightly.

He sighed. "Oh, alright."

After my mother got ready, I drove us over to a nice Mexican restaurant. We ordered and our food came quickly. I didn't talk much, the tacos were too damn good. My mom and Jaime on the other hand, wouldn't quit talking. Between bites they would respond back and forth. My mother was asking him the general protective-parent questions. I just sat back and listened to what Jaime had to say.

"So, how'd the two of you meet?" she asked.

"Well, I'm fairly new to Chula Vista High. I ended up getting put in her music theory class and we sit next to each other."

She nodded. "Do you actually care about my baby? You wouldn't hurt her right?"

I could tell Jaime was getting a bit uncomfortable, but he answered anyways. "I care about her a lot. I would never lay a hand on her in a violent matter nor crush her mentally." he said with a serious tone.

"What are your intentions with my daughter?" Jeez, my mom is just interrogating him.

"Diana, I haven't dated a girl in about three years, I've been hurt too many times. When I saw Rosaline I knew I had to take the risk. Now here I am, I'm taking this relationship seriously. I'm so happy with your daughter and I plan on making this last."

My mom smiled at him. Then of course, being a Mexican mother and all, she asked, "¿Puedes hablar español? (Can you speak Spanish?)"

Jaime laughed a little before answering. "Ay, pues por supuesto. (Oh, well of course.)"

Empty plates sat in front of us. I felt like food was going to ooze out of my mouth. The waiter brought the check and Jaime reached for it. My mother snatched it before him.

"Diana, I can pay, I don't mind." Jaime said.

"No no, I got this." she said while pulling out her card.

We got back to the house, it was only 8:20. I pulled Jaime upstairs to my room. He smiled when he saw all the posters and the different things decorating my walls. I crashed onto the bed, he followed my lead.

We were lying next to each other, his arm pressed against mine. "Do you think your mom likes me?" he asked.

"Yes! I can tell she adores you." I replied honestly.

"Good, because I might end up becoming her son-in-law one of these days."

I looked at him, my face turning pink. He turned to look at me too, with a huge smile on his face. Instinctively, I grabbed him and pressed my lips against his. We shared a long, passionate kiss. Lately, our kisses haven't been driven my sex, but instead by compassion.

We continued to kiss for another hour, it didn't turn into anything more than that. Afterwards, I curled up into him. He held me close and ran his fingers through my hair. As my eyes grew heavier I focused in on his breathing. His torso grew and shrunk in a steady rhythm. I could feel puffs of air coming from his nose with every exhale of his. I feel so happy, free, and complete when in his arms. I never want him to let go.

"Jaime." I called out to him in a soft, tired voice.

"Hm?" By his short response I could tell he was falling asleep too.

"I love you so much."

Silence rang for a moment, then he replied. "I love you so much too, Baby." He giggled.

His words made me smile, my heart skipped a beat. My feelings for him have grown a lot. I love him with every part of me. I would do anything for him and what's great is that he would too. Like he said earlier, maybe one day he'll become my mom's son-in-law. I sure hope so.
