The Black Flag Ch. 21
Diego pursed his lips a little in thought, “But your sister does… right?” Carmen nodded her head and Diego seemed to let out a sigh of relief. “I hope she likes me.”
“Are you afraid of spiders?”
Diego cocked his head to the side just slightly at the odd question and shrugged his shoulders a little, “No… not really.”
“Then she’ll like you.” Carmen stated and went about eating her food while the others on board gave her a strange look.
Diego swallowed a little, suddenly a little bit worried about the strange statement and the lack of explanation, “What does that mean?”
“Hmm?” Carmen said looking up from her food, her mind already on other matters. “Oh, Isabella’s afraid of spiders… If you’re going to marry her, then you’d better be prepared to kill spiders.” Diego smiled a little at the idea of being the girl’s protector even if it were simply against spiders. Carmen continued, seeing the small smile and blush on Diego’s face. “Once when we were small she’d called my brother into our room to kill a spider and he had told her it wasn’t going to hurt her, that it wasn’t even thinking about her. Then a few days later, my brother and I were outside playing when she started screaming like a banshee and we had run in, afraid that something had happened. She was up on the table yelling that there was a spider in the corner and that it was thinking about her.” Carmen smiled softly and it was obvious to everyone at that moment that she missed her family dearly.
Shane bit her lip a little. She wasn’t used to hearing people talk about their family like that. Most men she knew wouldn’t speak much of themselves and she herself didn’t have much of a family. She’d left at sixteen and never turned back, but right there on that small boat she felt right at home with her adoptive family. She gave a small smile at the idea, that these three people in front of her were her new family.
Shane gave Carmen a fairly tight squeeze to which Carmen responded by grinning up at her over her shoulder, thankful for the small gesture of affection.
