“I do not think it is a good idea that you stay over. I am afraid of what might happen.” She laughs. “No, that is not going to happen, Pedro. We will have some fun, but then I want to breathe you in as I sleep with your secure strong arms wrapped around me.” I see the sincerity in her eyes. “Okay, I will make arrangements for Ramón for the night.” She smiles and then kisses me tenderly. She stands up running off back to the Cantina. I watch her, fully knowing how concerned I am when she goes back off to school. Knowing that she and Noelia share an apartment. I am worried and jealous. My heart pounds as I wait for her outside Olivia’s house in the dark. I had no problem getting Paolo to watch Ramón for the night. Paolo is a hopeless romantic like myself, but Lasaro is worried I will get hurt when she leaves. I see movement at the front door then I flicker my lights. The person moves towards me. I wait patiently in the balmy jungle night air. My passenger door pulls open and I see Katie standing there.
