Uncles Secret

Alina made her way to Brenda's room, and as she entered, she let the door slam behind her. She walked to the bed and threw herself on it. She put a pillow over her head and let out a scream.

Brenda was coming out of the bathroom when she noticed Alina and what she was doing on her bed. "What got you all agitated? You do know I was joking about going to your room and bringing you back in whatever kind of dress you were." Brenda said as she was drawing her hair.

"You are not the issue right now," Alina said, moving the pillow away from her face and looking over at Brenda. "Mino, just knock my door down," Alina said with a roll of her eyes.

"Why would he do that?" Brenda asked as she laid out the things they would need to finish getting ready on the bed next to Alina and on top of her vanity.

"He said he just felt like kicking it in. He is such and ideate sometimes." Alina said as she got up from the bed. "Come on, let's get this over with and finish getting ready. I cannot wait for today to end." Alina said, moving over to the vanity.

Brenda got to work in a couple of minutes and had Alina looking like a queen. "Done, take a look," Brenda said, letting Alina look at herself in the mirror for the first time since she had started.

Alina turned around and observed Brenda's work, "Wow, are you sure this is me?" Alina said, taking her appearance fully in the mirror. Brenda nodded, giving her a big smile. "Thanks, you outdid yourself," Alina said, turning toward Brenda, standing beside her and hugging her.

"Sure, here, go change while I get ready," Brenda said, handing Alina the dress she would wear for the evening. Alina took the dress and headed for the bathroom. Once Alina left the room, Brenda began to get ready and done by the time Alina stepped out of the bathroom.

"You know, one of these days, you are going to show me how you get ready so fast," Alina said, not shock anymore, that Brenda was already ready and waiting for her.

Alina walked over to her, and Brenda just smiled as she opened the door of her room. "Part of it is that I am a fairy, and I might tell you about the other part later," Brenda told her as they started to make their way down the stairs.

Enrique waited for Alina at the bottom of the stairs with Luis and Sabro. Enrique knew how important this moment was not only for their fight but also for his family. The family that he believes to be dead. Earlier in the day, Enrique took care of the last-minute details with the help of Marcus, who was still making sure that everything they had planned for today went off without anything significant happening. Enrique looked at his watch and noticed the time; letting a sign-out, he exclaimed, "Where is she? It's getting late." It was clear that this was an essential event for Enrique. He had started to pace in front of the stairs, waiting for Alina to come down.

Luis, leaning against the wall looking the most relaxed, moved over to Enrique and put a hand on his shoulder. "Relax, they will be down in a minute," Luis said while Sabro quietly observed his surroundings.

As they heard footsteps on the steps, the three men looked up to see who it was. As the three looked up, they noticed Brenda and Alina coming down the stairs, looking beautiful and smiling at one another. Enrique moved over to the base of the stairs and handed his hand out to Alina. "You are as beautiful as your mother," Enrique said as he took Alina's hand in his.

"Thank you, Uncle," Alina said, giving him a small smile and then looking at all three as she let go of his hand. "Should we get this show on the road I would like our home back without so many different energies," Alina said.

"Let's," Enrique said, extending his arm so that Alina could take it as they entered the living room where their guest awaited them.

Enrique and Alina lead the way, while Luis takes the opportunity to extend his arm to Brenda to walk her in. As Luis was extending his arm in offering to Brenda, he leaned into her and said, "You look beautiful."

The energy in the room changed so fast that it made Alina stop in her step, making Enrique stop with her. Alina turned around and saw when Sabro moved between Brenda and Luis, took Brenda's hand in his, and started to walk away from Luis. Alina looks pointedly at Luis and shook her head in a disapproving form. Luis shrugged his shoulders and gave her a devilish smile.

Marcus cleared his throat and looked at Alina, "Are we ready?" Marcus asked, his eyes not living Alina.

Before Alina could respond, Brenda took her hand back from Sabro and stared him down as she moved toward Luis. "Thank you for the beautiful compliment." Brenda said, giving Luis a smile.

"Nothing but the truth," Luis said. Sabro was still standing at where Brenda had removed her hand from him.

"Would you do me the honor of escorting me into the living room?" Brenda asked Luis. Luis looked over at Sabro and gave him a smirk.

"It would be my pleasure," Luis said as he took Brenda's hand and leaned in to kiss her check.

Alina decided to take charge of the situation before a fight broke out. "Okay, if you guys are done, I would like to get this show on the road," Alina said, looking pointy at Luis, Brenda, and Sabro.

"We are good," Luis said as Brenda nodded her head in agreement.
