Chapter 10 - Alina
Ah, and how am I supposed to explain this to Mom? Should I tell her that I just had the best night of my life? I canât help but smile at the thought, looking out of the car window, and my fingers involuntarily rise to my lips where I can still feel the taste of Gioâs kiss.
Maybe I shouldâve stayed with him, everything else be damned. But I knew that soon, Mom would come looking for me, and I didnât want him to get in trouble. Besidesâ
âDo you want to get out closer to the entrance?â The taxi driver glances at me through the rearview mirror, and I blink out of my thoughts and look around.
âNo, actually, you can stop here. Thank you.â
The driver only shrugs, obediently pulls the car to a stop in the middle of the parking lot, and I hurry to get out and look around. It must be weird to him, but Iâve parked my car as far from the entrance as possible to get it out of othersâ sight. And now, I can see it in the far corner of the parking lot, still waiting for me in the shadow of a tree.
I take a deep breath and walk to it with determination in my step. Besides, I do want to talk to her. No matter what, Mom and Olga are my family, and I believe that they will tell me the truth.
I drive straight to Momâs house from there, and as soon as I turn into our driveway I see the door burst open from the corner of my eye. Mom runs out of the house, holding her hands against her chest, and even though I canât hear her yet, I feel like sheâs either praying or cursing out loud.
âGod, Alina! Where have you been?â I only have enough time to get out of the car before Mom runs to me and pulls me into a forceful hug.
Damn it. I didnât really think or care about her feelings when I was escaping the house last night, but now I feel kind of shitty about it. But at the same time, what was I supposed to tell her? I heard about your plans to find me a husband, so I donât want to spend another second in this house. Iâll be back soon, please donât worry?
But now, when my emotions have had enough time to settle and Iâm not burning with anger and resentment, itâs hard to justify yesterdayâs me. I hate making people around me upset, so I sigh and accept Mom into a hug, patting her back with an awkward, apologetic smile.
âSorry, I shouldâve warned you.â
âYes, you shouldâve!â She sharply pulls back, glaring at me with glassy blue eyes and stains of nervous red on her cheeks. âI was losing my mind with worry. We found your car, but there was no sign of you anywhere. I thought someone kidnapped you! You donât know how easy it is for a Mexican to spot you in the crowd.
