I open the front door. My dad is walking into the kitchen. I know he was looking through the window, and my face blazes red as he looks at me. He motions for me to sit down at the kitchen table. Oh no, here we go, the sex talk. My heart is beating hard in my chest, and my hands are sweaty. I sit down and look at him.

“Mija, I know you’re a smart girl, or I mean a young woman. I like Marco and want to continue to like him. Please don’t rush into anything you’re not ready to do. If you’re ready for sex, then so be it but please be safe.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG6uMHz8Jj
“Daddy!” I screech, mortified.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM9YApaYLJ
“I’m just keeping it real with you. I see how much you like Marco and how he likes you. He looks at you like you hung the stars and moon. If she breaks your heart, I’ll have to hurt him.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bwZMeiZQF
“Daddy, stop it.” I laugh.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuJbpWfURF
“Okay, okay, I’m going to bed. Help Mama with the dishes, will ya?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NVexBYxsd
“Sure, good night, Daddy,” I say, kissing his cheek.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPFRJF8uzv
“Did you have a great time?” Mama asks.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GI8XEQOJp
“Yes, it was such a fun time. I don’t remember having so much fun.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOazffOZJA
“I’m happy that you’re having fun. It’s about time that you are doing things for yourself. Mija, I want you to be safe. I put you and your sister on birth control because I worry about you both. Well, I mostly worry about Karolina.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7zq49RvXZ
“Mama, I’m not Karolina, and I’ll never be.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbMnEmouzl
“I know Mija, I know. I want you to take it at your pace, not Marco’s.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBezqNwS6Y
“He’s not like that. He’s different than anyone I’ve ever met.” I say with a dreamy smile. “What I like most about him is how he treats Chucky and Joey. He listens to them even when it’s completely ridiculous. Other people get irritated with them but not him.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFcOY0LLma
“Are you taking your pills?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D903Jut63
“Yes, mama, I take them to regulate my period.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DqMLv1P4w
“Keep taking them. Don’t miss one. we are too young to be a nana and papa.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRLcn6f3xh
“Mom!”I laugh. “Can I talk to you about something?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRZGiyuKXS
“Sure,” she says, handing me the next dish to rinse. “What’s up?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPwjY5bGLm
“Did you know that Miguel and Tia Sofia were dating and that they’re having a baby?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc8MNowH2M
“I did know that, but It was not my place to tell their story. How did you know?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoCPAUYFeW
“Chucky found out his mom was pregnant, and he was upset. He facetimed with Tia Sofia, and Marco heard his sister in the background. All hell broke loose Marco flipped out on Miguel because it seems like they’ve been together for a long time. When his mom was still alive, he was heartbroken.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEhwNlOeha
“Dios Mio, pobre Marco. I told Miguel he needed to tell him what was going on. He kept saying he would but now look at what happened. How was Chucky?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5jGAuv77E
“He was crying. He thought his mom was going to ditch him like his dad did. Once he talked to her, he seemed to calm down.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIPUImVRVJ
“Good, it’s late. Go to bed, Mija.”
“Good night, Mama. I love you.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdnUzb7qf3
I get to my room, and my phone is buzzing. I look at it, and it’s Marco facetiming. I close my door and answer.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNMOEFuzQ5
“Hi Marco, you okay?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH91NfrdxP
“I’m better seeing your face.” He smiles. “I just wanted to give you another goodnight kiss.” My face blazes red, and my heart zigs. “Kiss me.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0yo5h0qvS
I blow him a kiss, and he catches it in the air and puts it to his chest. He kisses me too, and I repeat his gesture.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsYikGCod4
“Good night, beautiful I’ll see you in the morning.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFjHGZTprE
“Good night, handsome.”

I go to bed with my head in the clouds, and I’m deliriously happy. I can’t wait to see him tomorrow that I’m too excited to sleep. I finally do fall asleep, and it feels like the alarm goes off a little too soon. I jump up and head to get ready. Once I get ready, I wake Joey up, shower, and go down to breakfast. I get him some cereal and make a bagel for myself and one for Marco and Chucky. Joey is taking his sweet time grabbing his backpack.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlhg8ofxFI
“Joey, hurry up! Marco will be here any minute.” I tell him.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7fYHpYqJn
“Marco is taking me to school?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpSAWnhg7T
“Yes, baby boy, and he is going to pick you up after school today.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9utKWoOL2
“Yippy!!!” He screams. The doorbell rings, and I look out the window and see Chucky. “I’ll get it! Chucky, guess what?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqBoDSRzRf
“What? Did you have an accident again?” Chucky laughs.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4rg0ni9BI
“No! Marco is taking us to school today!”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRazl5y8xHw
“Oh, he is? Trina, will he be okay taking me to school?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHAJuY9Wi4
“Of course, Chucky, it’s has nothing to do with you. It’s about him and his dad.” I say. There is a light knock at the door. I go and answer it, and it’s Marco, and he looks so hot. “Hi.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcWJMAINhG
“Hi, beautiful.” He says. He pulls him out of sight and kisses me crazy. It takes my breath away. “Are you all ready?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmFgmYm39i
“Yes, we are. I made you a breakfast bagel.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qz5UJoPQR
“Babe, you did? That’s so sweet. Thank you.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8rDy0cvv1
I grab Joey’s car seat, and Chucky takes it from me and places it in the backseat of the car for me. My mom arranged with the school for Marco to pick up Joey after school.
I know Joey is excited for Marco to pick him up today. Marco opens up the passenger door for me, and he kisses me quickly, and I get into the truck. He gets in, and he grabs my hand and squeezes.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Tcdsbgq5
“Hey, bro, are you okay?” Chucky says between bites of his bagel. “I feel like complete shit for everything that happened last night.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ohQpZZEXh
“Don’t feel bad, bro. It’s something that me and my dad have to deal with. I’m okay..ish thanks for asking.” He looks over and me and smiles. He puts his hand on my thigh as he drives. “I like your skirt.” He whispers and winks at me.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxvd8gGgSo
“Guys, can you not” Chucky laughs. “I’m eating here.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTCi99S0Qu
We pull up in front of the elementary school, and Joey unbuckles himself and get out and wait for him to get out. He goes and hugs Chucky goodbye, and he climbs the seat to get to the front. He kisses Marco on the cheek and hugs him tightly.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo7umuRITt
“Thank you, Marco! I love you.” He says. It makes me happy that Joey has taken to him.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZmYVG83aO
“Aww, thanks buddy, I love you too. I’ll see you after school.” Marco says, hugging him tightly.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnza7v56E7B
“Okay, don’t forget me, okay.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSIfiC311C
“I won’t forget you, Bud. Have the best day.” I grab Joey’s hand. I look back at Marco, and he winks at me.

My heart is about to combust. Is he for real?
