Chapter 50

ALEX

I'm a little tense because I didn't know what's going to happen between Gabriela and her siblings. I don't know if it's because her siblings told her I come up with the idea of reuniting them and she had gotten angry or if she's angry for doing the opposite of what she wanted. What I am sure is, if I called her and asked her how things had gone with her siblings, she would know I knew and didn't tell her, which would end making her angry, but I couldn't handle the uncertainty anymore and decided to call her.

"I thought you wouldn't want to know how your plan went." and with that, I'm stunned, because apparently, she knew, but she didn't seem angry or anything, which confused me a little. "Aren't you angry?" I asked confused and I could hear her laugh on the other end of the line.

"I could be, and believe me, when I saw my siblings, I got angry, then they told me it was you who had the idea and I looked at them with a stupid face, because I couldn't believe you had been the one who had the idea, but honestly that's which kept me from getting angry. I understand why you did it."

"Well, I expected an angry Gabriela and not want to see me for a while." I answered sincerely, "Honey, it's impossible to get angry with you, but my siblings also told me what you did." my girlfriend answered, and now I don't know what she could be talking about. "What exactly did they tell you?"

"What did you defend them." She simply said "That was nothing my queen, it's something I had to do." I assured her, because if there's one thing, I know Gabriela would do if they were hit again, it would put herself in more trouble than she already was. "You didn't have to, but I appreciate you taking care of them while I can't."

"I'll always take care of them because they are my siblings-in-law, the family takes care of itself, right?" I asked, with a smile on my face. "Yes, but they don't like you." She murmured, and I knew she's still upset about it. "From what Carlota told me, they're thinking about it." I report "Why?" He asked curiously, "Because they heard them talking to me and your siblings told me in the hypothetical case they accepted me, the rest of the family would be missing."

"Then you are right." I may not see her, but I know she's happier, as if a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. "I love hearing you so happy." I said, completely forgetting what we were talking about. "And I like they're starting to accept our relationship."

"Me too, but are you coming home?" I asked and heard her sigh, which gives me an idea she's not coming. "I would love it, love, but I have to solve some problems." She responded and that makes me frown. "Is something wrong with you?"

"No, not me, but it's nothing, don't worry. Besides, I promised Ana I would be there when she woke up." Gabriela answered "Then you're at Marcos and Carlos's house." I confirmed for myself. I assumed after talking to her siblings, she would return home. "Yeah, but now go to sleep because you have college tomorrow."

"I'll miss you beautiful, now that I've gotten used to waking up next to you in the mornings..." I murmured with a pout planted on my face and I heard her laugh "I love you beautiful." I said "I love you too, but go to sleep." my girlfriend insisted, "Ok, let's meet tomorrow afternoon?" I asked, hoping her answer would be affirmative. "I'll stop by college; we can meet there." I didn't have the slightest idea why she'll go to college, as far as I know she couldn't get in, but I guess she's going to take her siblings and Marcos. "Ok, see you tomorrow. I love you, my queen." I repeated for the thousandth time "And I love you, love."

With that we hung up and I thought for a while longer, about Gabriela obviously, and I fell asleep. When I woke up the first thing I did was turn to the side of the bed where Gabriela used to be during this week and I missed her, I never thought I could love someone like that, but Gabriela deserved it more than anything.

At least today I would see her, so I woke up with more desire to go to college, because during this week, having her at my house I had no desire to go, I'm sure I would have had a better time staying at home and spending time with her than going to college.

My surprise is that when I get to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, I see my mother doing it. "Aren't you going to say hello to your mother or what?" My mother asked and I snorted, "Now you want to be my mother, right?" I questioned ironically "Don't talk to me like that Alex." She snapped, "And you expect me to talk to you calmly after how you treated Gabriela?"

"And we go back to the same old thing." Mom said, rolling her eyes, "You treated her badly, mom. Don't you see it or what's wrong with you?" I asked, starting to get angry about that again. "Of course, I know how I treat her, but she hurt you and if I'm honest you don't deserve to be with a girl like her, not after how you treated her."

"But then you should treat me like that and not her." I protested, "It may be I wasn't fair to her, but she made you suffer and you're my son, I don't like seeing you hurt by someone." She assured and I rolled my eyes. "Well, you're going to leave Gabriela alone because she doesn't deserve the way you treated her."

"Why is there so much shouting in the morning?" Grandma asked from behind us. I hadn't realized grandma had come through the door, and I honestly didn't understand what she's doing here so early to be honest, but at this moment I could take the opportunity to leave and stop arguing with my mother, because it exhausts me.

"I have to go to college." I said, gathering my things to leave. "And you're leaving without breakfast?" Grandma asked, raising an eyebrow. "I'll have breakfast, don't worry, grandma."

I approached her, gave her a kiss on the cheek and she hugged me, got close to my ear and told me she would try to reason with my mother to which I nodded, I just hoped she could do something more than what I could do. She knew well I love Gabriela and yet she doesn't accept my relationship with her, she doesn't understand I was the one who hurt her. I decided it's better to get that out of my head, I don't want Gabriela to notice something is bothering me, enough with what happened at the hospital, I don't want her to feel bad or anything, it's enough what's happening now.

It didn't take me long to get to college, I think if there were any police around, I would have gotten a fine for speeding, but I really wanted to see my beautiful girlfriend whom I loved more than anything in this world.

When I arrived at college I could see Carlota, Marcos and even though her back is turned, I saw Gabriela, but she had small legs around her hips and arms above her shoulders, which seemed weird, so I approached, but before I reached her, chocolate-colored eyes looked at me and a smile appeared. She stares at me for a few seconds and then it seems like she's saying something in Gabriela's ear, which means it doesn't take long for her to turn in my direction and smile as soon as she sees me. She's beautiful, although she always was, but today I could see a special glow I don't know what it is, but that made me fall more in love with her.

"Hi gorgeous." She stared at me for a while as if trying to figure out something, I just hope she didn't notice something is wrong with me, I didn't want to worry her now that she seemed to be in a good mood. "Are you ok?" Gabriela asked and I nodded "Yes, of course, why?" I asked as if I didn't know what she's talking about. "As you wish."

I know this wasn't going to end like this and I would wonder later what's wrong with me. It's clear I wasn't going to tell her, I don't want her to get upset again because of my mother's stubbornness, not now she looks more like the Gabriela from before she went through the whole problem with her siblings, that's what I knew.
