Capítulo 20: Chapter 20
Diana's P. O. V
Pablo had a massive explanation to give me concerning the whole thing, and I was impatient to hear what he was going to say to me. We decided to go home together, that way we could talk about stuff. I wanted to go after Michael when he stormed off, but decided against it.
The drive was getting dangerously silent, the radio wasn't on, the only thing heard were our momentary sighs and grunts.
"I am sorry senorita"he said, for like the five hundredth time already!
"Just tell me why you and I have to lie in front of everyone, because I don't get it"I said trying not to stare at him.
"Makela and I have always picked on each other, more on my end though. She sees me like she does Mike, just like a brother and nothing else. I wouldn't want to let her know about my one sided affection, it would just ruin whatever we have"he said.
"You'd never know if you never tried"I chipped in, my heart being chopped into a thousand pieces. Look at lil old me, giving my crush advice on how to win his crush....great team spirit everyone.
"And what was that about Michael getting in your way?"
"It's the pact"he said, okay...was I supposed to know what that was, I stared at him to elaborate some more.
"It's a really dumb thing me and Mike made when we were nine years old. He was all over Ivy, my half sister when her mom brought her over for our annual Christmas party"He said and made a turn.
"Ivan her older brother didn't like that and gave him a shiner. I think we both just agreed to never date each other's siblings"Pablo said.
That was a pretty...shitty reason to tell someone! It was baseless and am not sure Michael even remembers any of that. So this was the big reason I was put in this situation?
"So that's the reason?"I asked for clarification, pretty dumb to me.
"What? Don't you believe me?"he asked, I could feel he was hiding something from me. "I...I can't lie for you if I don't get something better than that Pablo. I have my priorities"I said.
Priorities?...me?...I think that man who drove me to school had a point. I don't think I have my priorities straight, am not sure I have ANY priorities.
The car was silent for a while, I was already certain he wouldn't say anything else, till he spoke up and said.
"Promise not to tell anyone senorita"he said, that depended on so many things, I wasn't so sure if I could make that promise to him. But before I could say anything he continued.
"It's because of my mother"he said, "what does your mom have to do with it?"I asked, trying to understand what he was saying.
"How do I explain it, you found me wasted, it wasn't because I love alcohol or I run to it. It was because..."he stopped and stopped the car abruptly, making me nervous.
I tilted my head to the side, he was staring at the steering wheel in deep thought.
"I found these"he said and pulled out a little white bag from his pocket, I didn't need to think twice to know what it was. We were both silent for a moment, I couldn't connect the dots directly but I knew he was going through hell.
"Makela and Michael are the last good thing I wouldn't want to taint, she loves me and Mike is my best friend"he said, hearing this hurt, even if it was none of my business.
"They have only good memories of my mother, perfect ones, I have no clue how long she's been on these senorita. But I know that I would not want Makela or Mike exposed to this"Pablo said.
"When we were kids, I swore to Mike never to hurt Makela. And her becoming my girlfriend now will only hurt her more than ever"Pablo said.
My mind went over to Lola, she was young pretty and very cheerful. Yet, she's on drugs, I couldn't just push the thought out of my head just like that.
I placed my hand on his, he reacted to it but calmed his tensed nerves, I wouldn't say this, but he looked hot when he was vulnerable.
"Am here if you need something to listen to"I said and smiled weakly at him. He warmed to my touch and took my hand in his, and let a small smile play on his lips.
He started the engine and continued the drive to my house. I got out of the car, Pablo seemed distant, I walked over to him, and my eye caught a car.
A familiar car. I stared at Pablo then at the car, he seemed to be startled about the car as well.
Lola came out of the car, I couldn't see her fully but it was evident she was wasted, that much I noticed. I was about to run off to my home, but the other person who came out of the car caught my attention.
Wasn't that the man who dropped me off at school this morning?
Why was he here?
Is he Pablo's father! No it couldn't be! He said he had kids who attended my school. As far as I know, Pablo is an only child. Who could he be and why was he here? He glanced at us both, he fixed his gaze on me and I wished to disappear into the ground.
"Hey Diana!"Lola yelled, I really wished the Earth to open and swallow me whole at this moment.
"Come here you two!"she yelled lightly laughing, I could sense some tension I really didn't want to be here right now.
But Pablo pulled me towards her, keeping me close to him. His scent was nice and filled my nose, I wanted to hide away, but here I was, being the girlfriend. Wait! Am HIS girlfriend!.
"You should have told me she was coming over"Lola said to Pablo, a mischievous grin spread across her face.
"Or you wanted to come over when no one was home?"she asked mischievously, I could feel my cheeks grow hotter. "Lola"the man said in a Stern voice, she rolled her eyes at him.
"Diana this is Xander my stuck-up best friend"Lola said, "he's the boring one"Lola added quickly. "Am the responsible one"The man said effortlessly and emotionlessly.
I was trying to match his features to someone, someone I've seen, I just couldn't seem to pinpoint the exact person I was thinking about.
"Let's not keep our guest waiting outside, let's go inside, Pablo you must let me see her more often. Diana you must stay over for dinner"Lola said to me.
Dinner? That sounds drama free.
Before I could protest I was being pulled inside by Lola, I could feel the sharp stares from behind me.
Diana what have you gone and done now!
*Dinner Time*
I don't know exactly what Lola tried making but it ended up getting burnt. Pablo mouthed a sorry to me, I opened my mouth to speak but Lola walked in.
"Sorry guys, dinner has been put on a hold, why don't we pass the time till it's ready again"she said. I looked at my watch, yes I got a watch, a white Apple watch.
"I think Diana should go"Pablo said calmly, "no, no, no, stay! Xander hasn't even gotten to know her! You're in big trouble hiding your girlfriend from us"Lola said.
Interesting. Very interesting. He seemed to play a very huge role in Pablo's life, but what was the connection.
"Hold up, does Michael know about this?"Lola asked.
Michael...why does that name sound familiar? Michael?
Fuck it! I totally forgot for a second Michael and Pablo were like more than brothers. I picked up a glass of water to drink, my throat was getting dry and itchy.
Pablo nodded negatively.
"Why would you keep it from my son are you two fighting?"Xander asked out of the blue from his quiet corner.
I sprayed the water out of my mouth in shock, was it embarrassing...yes! Did it get me a lot of stares....yes! Did I make a bad first impression...hell yes!
But... Dad? Michael Tyler.... Michael Tyler's father dropped me off at school today! I was sitting across him and to top it all off, I just sprayed water all over him.
I just can't seem to get one win since I moved here! Another new drama and embarrasment. Here we go again!
