“Carmen?” Carmen looked away from her homework as her Aunt walked into the family room.

“Yeah Aunt Rosa.” Rosa smiled softly.

“How are you sweetie?”

“I’m doing well.” Carmen noticed that her Aunt was acting a little weird. “Is something wrong?”

“Well,” she smiled. “I heard that you’ve been seeing some girl a lot lately.” Carmen sat up and looked at her Aunt.

“Where did you hear this from?”

“Well—she’s been coming to the house lately.” Rosa chuckled. “And I’ve seen you two together a few times.” Carmen felt her heart beat a little harder.

“She’s a really great friend, and she was the only person who was nice to me when I arrived here. Is there a problem of me seeing her?”

“No sweetie, I don’t see a problem with it at all. It’s just that, I haven’t seen you with a boy yet.” She took a seat on the couch, and Carmen looked at her.

“I’ve met boys Aunt Rosa. I’m just not ready to have a relationship with a boy. I’m more focus with school right now.”

“Okay—well your Uncle Rico and I met this really nice boy the other day.” Carmen smiled softly.

“Aunt Rosa—I’m not really interested.” She shook her head.

“I’m not saying you have to date him. You can just meet him right.”

“Yeah I guess.” Carmen shrugged her shoulders.

“Great because we have our having a guest over tonight.”

“Aunt Rosa. I-but, why didn’t you tell me this earlier? I had plans tonight with my friends from school.”

“Well I really want you to meet this young man tonight. I want you to stay home for dinner.”

“Aunt Rosa—,” Rosa held her hand up.

“I don’t care what plans you had tonight, you’re staying home tonight and that’s it.”

“You know I really don’t have to listen to you.”

“You will listen to me young lady, and you’re staying home.” Rosa got up from the couch and walked away. Carmen sighed heavily and grabbed her phone.

“What kind of game is this Al?” Dana looked at her girlfriend.
