Chapter four: Mexico 

Michael POV 

Arriving to Mexico feels weird wrong even, the people who came to the private plane to pick us up are all wearing jeans. They some of them different styles, they all wear boots, cowboy style, most of them carry AK 47s with them. As we walk to the trucks that were there for us, I notice they had all come in ten cars and they were only seven guys. Adriano and I were taking in one truck while Alberto and Luke were taken to another truck. The ride was a long one even though we have been in the road for thirty minutes it feels like an hour. The road is a dirt road, lot of small houses everywhere some made of brick others of wood.  

Finally, we arrive at a big house, the drivers is let in through the gates, in everything is green, I mean, the grass the trees. The truck gets parked and we come out, it seems in the other side of the house theirs a stable because I can hear animals. Alberto and Luke come out of their truck and then a guy that seems about the same age as Alberto walks to us. He is dress similar to the guys that brought us here “welcome my friend” he opens his arms and Alberto walks to him. Friend?  

Inside the house looks a little more modern, but a still it smells different than other houses I’ve been to. We are guide to a living area, where we take seat and wait, is until Adriano who is sitting next to me taps my leg knee that I realize I am bouncing my knee. “Calm down man, I am here with you,” “I know it’s just, I am marrying someone I haven’t met before. What if I don’t like her or she doesn’t like me?” Before he can even speak a girl with dyed pink hair and a guy who looks similar to her except, he has big caramel eyes, and she has small brown eyes. They are both about 5.5ft or something, lean light skin and well they are attractive. 

While we are all sitting in the living area don Jose as he prefers we call him is revising the documents for the contract once he is done he signs the pares meaning the deal has being made. “When should they marry?” Adriano asks, “I think tomorrow works, I already have the banda (band) and food coming over for the party tomorrow.” Adriano and I nod in understanding, “muy bien (alright) then Pancha give the gentlemen their rooms.” A lady I just notice standing by the door nods and so we get up to follow her “what kind of name is pancha?” I whisper ask Adriano who laughs the lady turns and gives us a glare that has us both shut our mouths. We each get a room but we get them close to each other, I put my luggage in bed to unpack then a knock at the door makes me pause. I open the door and don Jose stands there, “yerno (son in law) don’t un pack much, after wedding, you move to another room.” He leaves and I go back to my room, a sight escapes my lips, I still can believe I am doing this.

Carol POV 

“So how long have you been here?” Leonel asks, yeah you see I have been talking for a few minutes now with the guy of the cafe he is so sweet I have learned a lot about him. I feel so sad for him you see he was once married but the wife treated him like s**t, she then left him with his baby. A few months ago she called him after three years to ask money for the baby apparently, she has been leaving in Mexico with her mother. I feel bad for him really working as a waitress is not giving him enough money to send to his daughter. I want to help I really do, “I have been here a month now,” I have told him I am from Italy but of course nothing about my family. “Can I take you out this weekend?” “as in a date?” “yes of course a date,” I blush how can I say no to this candy here.  

At home Valentina comes early and sits at the dining table waiting for me to serve our meal, “so I have news for you.” Is the first thing I say as I take my seat putting both of our plates on the table, “what?” “well I got myself a date for Sunday actually.” She starts choking on her food I immediately grab a glass filling it with water and pas it to her. “you are not joking right?” “what kind of question is that no I am not, the guy I told you about four days ago asked me out today.” She smiles at me “I am happy for you its been long since you dated, finally I was heard by the heaves to send someone to you.” She starts laugh and I slap her arm playfully glaring at her before I pout. 

    Mexico 

Michael POV 

We all seat at a huge wood table it’s a beauty, it has cravings, you can see is real wood at the dining table to have dinner. Soon the service ladies come with plates, at look at it for a second, it looks like maybe chicken in small pieces. But theirs like a green sauce or something covering it with white rice on the side. “Mole verde, or what you call mole green,” don Jose says, I nod and proceed to taste it, the flavor is incredible something so rich of flavor. I have never tasted anything like this before, really good, I turn to my side to see Adriano is still playing with his fork, “it’s good, really good.” He nods at me before having his first bite, I even hear a moan leaving his lips, he is liking it, and I continue eating.
