45 Chapter 45: Llegando a su fin (1/2)
”And you're positive this'll work?”
”Well he gave me an address and told me to meet him there...alone. So yes, I think it will.”
”A little cocky aren't we,
Mrs. Hernandez?”
She smiles,
”I could ask you the same thing, Mr. Hernandez.”
I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist. I hold her up with my hands on the back of her soft thighs,
”You know Kaz, you are definitely the most beautiful, amazing, and wonderful woman i've ever met.”
She nuzzles her face in the crook of my neck,
”I know. That's why you proposed.”
”Heh, no lie there. No let's go meet Lina.”
”Mhm, ok.”
***
”Kazzie baby!”
”Lina!”
They run towards each other and hug.
'You literally saw her a few days ago...'
”Hey Ricky, how's it hanging?”
”Stefano, what's up man?”
He daps me up as we follow the girls to our table.
”So, I know you're nervous about the wedding but i've been doing a little planning.”
Lina snaps at me so that i'm looking at her,
”Look.”
She slaps down a thick binder that reads, 'wedding of a lifetime'.
”Oh wow...you've thought of everything, Lili.”
Kaz flips through the book.
”Well of course. My best friend is getting married!”
They giggle and talk amongst themselves as Stefano orders a drink.
”So, did she threaten you or are you here on your own?”
He chuckles,
”She may be my little sister but she's mean as hell. She needed a ride.”
”Ah, I see.”
I swishes around his cup.
”Hey uh, join me outside for a smoke, Ricky.”
”I shouldn't, i'm tryna cut back.”
He looks at me with a stern expression,
”I really think you should.”
I nod.
”¿A dónde diablos van ustedes dos? ¡Tenemos una boda que planear!”
(Where the hell are you two going? We have a wedding to plan!)
”Chill. We're just stepping out for some fresh air, we'll be back in a bit.”
Kaz catches my eye,
'What's wrong?'
'Don't know. I'll be back soon.'
'Be safe and is anything happens i'm ready.'
”Wait...are you two talking with your eyes?”
”Whaa? No, let's just keep looking at flowers. I think I really like the...”
Her voice fades as Stef and I head out doors.
”So, what's up?”
He lights his cigarette and takes a puff,
”We got another offer. A better one.”
”What?! Better than the one we have now?”
”Yup.”
”And it's legitimate?”
”Yup.”
”Tsk, I don't know man. Lina and Kaz are probably gonna spend a fortune on this whole thing and switching so soon might affect cash flow.”
”I don't think we should wait boss. We need to make moves now.”
”I said no. Why are trying push this man?”
