Chapter Sixteen

Muerto stared placidly at Laura, who sat across from him knitting her brows. He’d expected much worse when he’d told her about the tent for the party. From the time they were kids, her way of punishing him was to make him feel guilty. Giving him the mal de ojo—the evil eye—seemed to be a new tactic, and it was just as ineffective on him as her old tactic used to be.

After several minutes of silence, Laura sighed deeply and placed her hand over her heart. Muerto glanced at the wall clock, then back at her. “Cut the fuckin’ dramatics. I get that you’re pissed about the tent, but Raul promised me it’ll be awesome. I thought it would be great for the kids too ’cause they can run around outside and let the adults have some peace.”

“I knew I should have handled the place. I wanted a proper venue for Ma. This is a milestone—fifty years old.” She sighed again.

“It’ll be nice. You want me to get the band?”

“Are you sure? I thought having ranchera and mariachi music would be nice. We could have mariachi earlier in the evening and ranchera for dancing after dinner.”

“Sounds good. I can get both bands. I think that’s about it.” He glanced at the clock again and then, against his better judgment, said, “I’m bringing someone to the party.”

Her eyes widened. “A girl?”

“Of course.”

A big smile spread across her face. “She must be someone you really like if you’re bringing her to Ma’s party. What’s her name?”

“Raven, and I do like her.”

Laura clapped her hands. “Finally! Ma will be thrilled, and I’m so happy. It’s about time you settled down. You’re at the age where you have to think about your future.”

“Will you calm the fuck down? I asked her to the party, not to marry me. Don’t make this out to be more than it is.”

“You don’t fool me. I know you, and you’ve never brought a woman to meet Ma. She’s got you, and I love it.” She laughed loudly.

Scowling, he stood up and went into the kitchen to get another beer. Even in high school, he didn’t bring his dates home. Back then, he’d never been the type to date just one woman at a time. He’d preferred messing around with the fast girls because they’d loved the thrill of a quickie romance and weren’t looking to date exclusively. Raven’s exactly the type of woman I want Mom to meet. She fuckin’ grounds me. How the hell does she do that?

“Can you bring me a Pepsi?” Laura asked, crashing in on his thoughts.

He opened the fridge again and grabbed a can. As he walked into the family room, his niece and nephews came rushing in. “Hey, Uncle M!” they cried out in unison. They grabbed his legs and slid as he dragged them across the wooden floor on his march to the couch. When he got there, he handed Laura her cola and his beer, bent over, and then
