It's been a week or so since the thunderstorm passed. Buck still only talks to me when we're on calls. It's kind of immature and rude.
Cap bought me into his office a few days ago to see why we were fighting during the ferris wheel incident. I had no answer for him, only a shrug and I promise it won't happen again phrase came out of my mouth. I honestly wish that case went smoother.
"Sí, mamá, te ayudaré a mudarte de tu departamento." I hold the phone to my ear while packing Chris' lunch for school tomorrow. (Yes, mom, I'll help you move out of your apartment tomorrow.)
He's old enough to do it himself but I promised him 30 minutes of video games on school nights after homework.
I can't break that promise.
He's been missing Amelia a lot and every time he asks to see her I just tell him to go play computer games until dinner.
"I have to go Chris is getting hungry and I can't burn down the kitchen again." I say in English to my mother who is starting to talk to me in spanish about finding a partner.
I don't need a partner.
Chris and I are happy here.
I hang up on her before she can start rattling off names of spanish clubs to meet women.
"Chris, the mac and cheese is almost done!" I yell to him while I'm stirring it.
It's the one thing I can cook. Milk, shredded cheese, and noodles, that is all I need.
"Chris, I'm going to have to decrease your video game time!" I yell to him again.
Sometimes he can't hear me because his headphones are on loud.
I turn the stove off and go over to his room down the hall.
"Chris, are you in the bathroom?" I barge into his room and don't see him anywhere.
"Chris, do you need help?" I knock on his bathroom door but it opens wide and clear for me.
