dinners and sleepovers

"okay, we are dating!" alex and i quickly screamed as we walked into the alvarez's apartment. we avoided looking at everyone.

"oh we knew" everyone said at the same time, making me and alex furrow our eyebrows.

"we've been dating for a few months now, about six"

"i mean, come on, it was obvious! everytime i'm around you two, i fell the vibes" elena said, shrugging.

"what do you mean by vibes" alex asked.

"like, i can't explain it" she said.

"whatever, anyways, schnedier and i are going to host dinner tonight, at our apartment! i'm cooking" i said. i jumped up and have schneider a high five. "i will make my moms signature dish, frijoles liquados, mole, arroz, and some salad" i smiled at everyone.

"i don't know what all of that is, but it sounds boom as hell" schneider said as he rubbed his stomach.

"we will now be leaving! dinner is at 6 people. be there in time please" i gave alex a quick hug, and a kiss on the cheek, then walked out with schneider.

"okay, we have all the ingredients right?" i nodded my head and walked into our apartment. i went to grab my speaker and blasted music in the kitchen, beginning to cook with schnedier.

*************

"okay! okay! go schneider, go go, go schneider" i screamed, dancing along with schneider to tokyo drift.

"yuh! hey!" we both screamed, hyping each other up. we heard a knock on the door, causing schneider to leave me dancing alone.

"okay ale! i see youuu girl!" pen said, walking towards me and dancing with me.

"aye, go pen! go pen!" i screamed, clapping along with the beat. everyone soon joined us, everyone having their solo dance.

"i'm exhausted" pen said, dropping on the couch.

"okay, i'm going to serve the food" i said, making my way to the kitchen.

"i'll help!" alex screamed, following me to the kitchen.

we both began to set up the plates and cups in the
table. "come here, dance this song with me" i said, sticking my hand out for alex to take it.

"but i don't know how to dance it" he said as he tried to make me let go.

"well i'll teach you" i pulled him close to me, putting my arms around his neck, as he put his around my waist.

he quickly got the dance right, dancing with me. "my grandpa would always play this song in his living room, he used to sit there for hours listening to albums and cds he knew" i whispered into alex's ear, making him laugh. i softly sang to the song playing, hasta la miel amarga.

every memory from mexico went through my head, remembering the parties we would have there, and how we would play the exact songs that were playing right now. i laid my head on alex's shoulder and continued dancing until the song ended. my spanish playlist continued to play, as all of us crowded around the table, taking seats.

"it's a family dinner, it feels like home" i said, looking at everyone with teary eyes.

"aye mamita, i wasn't planning to cry today" pen said as she fanned her eyes.
