Cristóbal
If I hadn’t already seen pictures of my wife’s siblings when I dug into her background, I still would have no question whether or not this little, spicy chica is related to my Esposita. She has the same eyes, same brown skin, and the same full, foul mouth. Their family is full of gorgeous women.
I can’t help but wonder what my daughters will look like. Will they have their mother and tía’s cute nose, will they make the same cute face in anger. I’m so lost in the amusement of my thoughts, I don’t hear a thing she says until she threatens to cut me.
Knowing how fast my wife is to pull a blade from her mouth and slice someone open, I give this tiny one before me my full attention. I will not allow my thoughts to cause me to have to warm someone my wife cares for.
“Old man. Those words are starting to get on my nerves,” I scoff and mumble to myself. “I am Cristóbal.”
“I am Cristóbal,” she mocks, saying it through her nose. “What’s the fuck is that supposed to mean to me? Who are you?”
My anger flares. I know Detra has kept me a secret, but for some reason it burns deep in my blood as I face this fact now. I’m here in front of someone who should know who I am. My nostrils flare, I hear my wife yell my name just as I reveal the truth.
“Cristó!”
“I am Detra’s husband,” I say smugly.
The gasps from my wife and her sister are audible. The little one standing before me— I’m not sure which sister she is— glares at me with her mouth hanging open. Detra rushes over to her sister’s side.
“Jada, por favor, you have to keep this quiet for me. Just between tu y yo. No one will understand,” my wife pleads.
I wrap an arm around her waist and tug her back into my chest. I feel her stiffen in my hold but I don’t give a fuck. I’ve had enough of the games we’ve been playing. This just may work to my advantage.
“You’re married? Have you lost your mind? Mommy and Papi are going to kill you,” Jada says with wide eyes. “Cuando? How long have you been married?”
“It’s been nineteen years going on twenty,” I reply for Detra.
“Stop. Talking. Just…stop…talking,” she says icily.
“Ah, hell nah, you’ve been married to this old man for how long?” Jada says before she pauses. “It all makes sense. You didn’t get rich with Nelson. I’m the youngest. I watched it all. I knew it was bullshit.”
“Jada!”
“No, no, you’ve lied to everyone. We’re your family. Why? Yes, this dude has to be older than you but Papi has Mommy by nine years. I don’t think it would have been a problem. He don’t look that old.”
“Coño, I’m dying my hair,” I grumble.
Detra whips her head in my direction to glare at me. Pointing a finger at me, she says. “You will absolutely not. She’s a baby. Everyone’s old to her.
