Caray, Caray!

[i want to apologize for my lateness in posting. our air conditioner went out on monday which completely threw off my week. happy to report all is well again. let me tell you, north texas heat is not fun. ]

Juan is about to ask Ana for Paula's hand in marriage just as Paula and CL enter together. Juan is muy impactado.



Alirio, at having seen the painting of Juan in all his glory, is upset. He asks why they need it in the house, more specifically hanging in the study. Nidia asks where he would prefer it. He answers in the garage or a myriad of other places that I didn't quite get. Nidia says she likes it there and that is precisely where it will stay.



Paula notices and compliments Juan's new do. CL says he agrees. Juan thought bubbles "who asked you?" Paula asks Juan if he would like to join them in having dinner with CL. CL says that he and Juan are best buds so of course Juan does not mind. CL says he will pay for dinner, Juan says no, he will pay. He says since he issued the invite, he will pay. Paula says that they can figure it out at the restaurant. Juan is really bummed about Paula and CL's relationship and thought bubbles again that this has turned out to be the darkest night...



Alirio is still going on about the painting and how inappropriate it is and how Juan took advantage and was amoral, etc., etc. Nid says that Alirio know nothing about sensuality or art. He says that painting has nothing to do with art. They argue more about the painting, Alirio comments that he still does not know the nature of his relationship with Nidia and sarcastically says that all they need is for Juan to move back in with them. Nidia says "hmm, that's not a bad idea."



At dinner, Juan slowly comes to the realization that Paula and CL are engaged. He is heart broken and does lots of thought bubbling, not all of which I could get. One saying he did impart was "No hay peor ciego que el que no quiere ver." (There is no worse blind person than one who doesn't want to see.) He meant that in reference to how he didn't see Paula and CL relationship developing.



Alirio asks Nidia not to invite Juan to move back in. Alirio says Juan's deceit does not warrant him being asked to move back in. She reminds him of his deceit with the will and cheating las Davila out of their inheritance. Yadira is listening at the door and overhears. Nid says Juan's lies are no match for Alirio's. She reasons that Juan did more good than harm and how he helped everyone and took care of them, got Marely a job, etc. She says it is her house and she will ask him to move back in.

Marely arrives and sees Yadira standing by the door. Yadira tells Marely that Alirio and Nid were talking/arguing about Juan.

In the bathroom, Ana and Paula are talking about CL's presence at dinner. Ana asks why she allowed CL to join them. Paula says there was nothing she could do about it and that he insisted. Ana tells Paula that Juan is a decent fellow and he doesn't warrant the intrusion or being blindsided by their relationship.

BAck at the table, CL and Juan are talking. CL confirms that he and Paula are a couple and that even Ana knew of their relationship. Juan thought bubbles that he was the last to know. CL asks for Juan to be discrete and not discuss it at work. Juan thinks to himself that if he was dating Paula he would be shouting it from the rooftops and doing some Tom Cruise-like couch jumping rather than hide it like CL does.

Yadira tells Marely about the fight Alirio and Nidia had and how she is going to ask Juan to move back in. Marely looks happy about the turn of events. Marely is happy that Yadi shares her opinion that jUan is not such a bad fella.

The check arrives, Juan does not have enough, but insists on paying even though CL want to pay. Juan pays for the meal and tip.

Juan drops Paula and CL off, they thank him for the dinner. Juan is sad imagining his Paula with CL.

CL tells Paula that he thinks Juan is in love with her. She says no, they are just friends.

Ana and Juan arrive back at her house. She asks if he is ok. She wants to know what he was going to ask her when they were waiting for Paula to join them. (he was going to ask for P's hand in marriage.) He said he forgot.

Juan goes to his bedroom and gets ready for bed. He feels stupid for thinking someone like Paula could be with him. He is sad and having a nice pity party.

At breakfast, Ana asks Juan if he is going to eat something. He says he is not hungry. He tells her he is sad and wants to tell her the truth, but instead tells her that he misses the ladies Cachon.

Nidia tells Marely that she is going to the office and she is going to ask Juan to move back in.

Ana tells Juan that it is okay to have feelings and that he should feel free to share them. She tells him that if there is a way to remedy the situation with the Cachon's, he should try.

CL is complimenting Paula's breakfast making skills. The phone rings, Juan has arrived to drive them to work. CL opts to arrive at the office separately. Paula gets pissed and says that his desire to make their relationship public was a big fat lie. She is fuming and is tired of hiding. CL says its imprudent and wants to avoid comments from the office folks. Paula says she does not care what people think. She wants a normal relationship, and to be out in the open. He says he is keeping their relationship secret for her own good. Um, ok...big red flags there Paula.

Juan helps her in the car and notices she is not in a good mood.

CL calls Monica. She says she misses him, he says he misses her, blah, blah. She asks him if wants to have lunch, he says yes.

Alirio arrives at the casa Cachon to talk to Yadira. He wants her help in convincing Nidia not to invite Juan to move back into the house. He tells her that despite his charm and innocent face, underneath lies shadiness. He tells her to tell Nidia that she and Marely do not want him back at the house. She counters that she knows about the will and how he used that to make Nidia marry him. He is muy impactado.

Paula apologizes to Juan for CL's presence at dinner. She wants to explain. He says that she does not owe him any explanations.

Fernando takes some good natured jabs at Juan about his hair and if he declared his love for his woman yet. Juan says no, he is just wanting to have fun, etc, etc. Fernando does not buy it.

Yadira tells Alirio that she will not be helping him. She accuses him of being jealous of Juan. He says no. She draws his attention to the painting of Juan, paying close attention to his assets. She does a little compare and contrast between him and Alirio. Enough said.

Nidia arrives at the office looking for Juan. Nidia reminds Paula about the party and Paula says she will be going.

Nidia compliments Juan on his new look. Juan tells them he has missed them. She does some breast hoisting.

Paula is anxiously awaiting for CL to arrive at the office. She calls his cell, however he is with Monica. She asks if he is going to answer it. He says no. Paula is growing more anxious.

Nidia tells Juan she has thought things over and realizes that they need him back at the casa Cachon. She is getting a bit grabby, telling him he is like a friend, a muy close friend. She tells him come back, papi rico...:-)
