I’m about ten seconds away from losing my goddamn mind, and I have
the painfully slow driver clogging up the only road into town to blame.
The sun set twenty minutes ago, giving me nothing to focus on but
the illuminated California license plate caught in my headlights. I resist the
urge to flash my high beams and honk my horn, although I nearly give in
when the black Mercedes-Benz sedan weaves slightly to the side before
correcting itself.
Cálmate. You only have five more miles left before hitting Main Street.
While I’m tempted to cut around the other driver so I can make it in
time for my godson’s talent show, I don’t want to risk damaging my new
McLaren by going off-road. I didn’t spend the last few years of my life
talking myself into buying my dream car only to ruin the suspension a week
after having it delivered.
Cálmate: Calm down.
The blast of my phone’s ringtone startles me as my cousin’s name
flashes across the screen. I take a deep breath before stabbing the button on
my steering wheel.
“Where the hell are you?” The sound of Rafael’s harsh whisper fills the
car.
“I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
A disapproving hum follows. “But the show starts in five.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll make it before Nico takes the stage.”
“Not sure how that’s possible when he’s in the opening act.”
Mierda. “I had no clue.”
“The program schedule got switched at the last minute after a few kids
came down with a bug. I texted you this morning about it.” He doesn’t
bother hiding his annoyance.
My hands clutch the smooth leather wheel. “The meeting in Lake
Aurora took a lot longer than expected.”
“Of course it did.”
“Things should slow down soon.”
“Sure they will.” His rough tone only fuels my irritation.
Before his wife filed for divorce two years ago, people called Rafael the
easygoing Lopez cousin, with him constantly going out of his way to put a
smile on everyone’s face.
Rafael’s deep sigh cuts through the silence. “It’s fine. Nico will
understand.”
Mierda: Shit.
My godson might be a mature eight-year-old kid, but he isn’t that
mature. And after everything he has been through with his parents’ divorce,
I refuse to add myself to his growing list of family disappointments.
“Your mom saved you a seat in the back of the auditorium in case you
make it.”
“Rafa, I’ll be—”
He hangs up before hearing the rest of my sentence.
Pendejo.
Rafa and I have been butting heads more often than not lately, mostly
due to his attitude and my busy schedule running my late father’s
construction company. While I try my hardest to balance my personal life
and Lopez Luxury expanding beyond my father’s wildest dreams, I keep
falling short.
I scan the narrow space beside the road. The incline is muddy but still
drivable for the handful of seconds I need to pass the car in front of me.
