Chapter 49
CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
Annie - Luis, what is that on your neck? Is it purple? Did a bat bite you?
Alice and John look at each other and turn red
Luis - rubs his hand - it must be an allergy, some insect must have stung me
Annie - looks at the two of them and laughs maliciously - insects I know well
Tom - Annie - scolding
Annie - scolding - Tom - going towards you - hugging and squeezing your cheek - you are so serious today baby, take off that frown, today is Christmas - giving a kiss, just to tease Kirstin
Kirstin - Well, well, keep hanging on Tom's neck, certain things don't change, do they? Be careful Alice, she might steal Tom from you... but a thief who steals from a thief has a hundred years of forgiveness, is that what they say?
Tom - Alice didn't steal anyone you gave me to her on a platter, in fact you both betrayed us in different ways but you betrayed her you have no right to say anything
Annie - and I don't try to steal Tom from Alice. I have them both to myself - she winks at Kirstin and laughs, stealing a kiss from Alice. By the way, I've already caught her, Tom, the two of them together and I've already dated Luis, darling.
Kirstin - That's how easy people are.
Annie - I just enjoy the best of life, love people and don't sell myself like some
Kirstin - you know nothing about me you bitch to talk about me
Annie - not bitch - the two of them get into a fight
Luis and Tom try to break up the fight. The kids get scared, Martha tries to calm the kids down and Ale runs out asking the security guards for help. Alice was trying to break up the fight and ended up being pushed and fell, hitting her head on the edge of the table.
Alice - Fucking stop it now, you two, you are no longer children, look what you have done?
Luna - Mom? Are you hurt?
Alice - A little bit, my child. I think the party is over, get your things, say goodbye to your grandma and everyone else, we better go home.
Louis - Kirstin you go up to your room now
Kirstin - stop treating me like a child
Luis - stop acting like one, Matteo take mommy to her room and help her. Later I will come and talk to you.
Matteo - okay godfather, goodbye Luna until next time - hugs and kisses her forehead, goodbye Aunt Annie, Grandma Martha, Uncle Tom and Aunt Alice get well, hugging everyone and giving Alice a kiss, who was still sitting on the floor - come on mom, let's go up - Kirstin goes up annoyed.
Ale - people what happened here? This was unacceptable, look at the situation of Maria Alice? She was injured and it could have been much worse
Martha - a lot has happened dear. Everyone is hot-headed, I think it is better if everyone goes home to cool their heads and we will talk later.
Ale - Better, Alice I hope you will be alright, do you need anything?
Alice - Could you get some ice for me?
Luna - I'll get it
Annie - Ale - sorry for today, but really when I see this woman I can not control myself
Luis - better learn Annie she will live here now, we are friends and we will live together
Annie - Thank God I'm leaving soon, I won't have to endure it for long. But I promise to try to behave for the children
Luna - come back - take your ice mommy
Alice - thank you daughter, well let's go and say goodbye to everyone.
Luís tries to help her up
Tom - I will help my wife, thank you very much, but I think you have some things to take care of upstairs now
