My Favorite Sin (Republished)

Chapter 2

~ L E I L A ~

I woke up around 9 am with a slight hangover and I already despise everything.

I get up and do my normal morning routine quickly and head to the kitchen to make breakfast for Nadia and myself.

She usually sleeps in on the weekends till 10, sometimes 11 and I let her. Today I felt like going out with her before work.

I think it's because I want to make it up to her for last night even though she's going to act like and say she didn't care. I know she does. I start making some eggs and toast.

Me and Nadia have bonded over food in a way. When she was younger she cared way too much about her body image thanks to my spectacular mother.

My mother always made unnecessary comments on both of our bodies talking about "If you're not thin you won't get a husband" blah blah.

I never cared because I think all bodies are beautiful and I couldn't give less of a shit for a man's opinion, but my sister did.

Not because she wanted to please her 'future husband' but because she always wanted my mom's approval. That led her to always say she wasn't hungry or not eating for a while after gaining any weight.

So now I make sure she maintains a good image of her body and eats well without thinking about the 'consequences'.

I finished up breakfast and headed to my sisters room to wake her up. I jump onto her bed and smirk. 

"WAKE UP!" I yell then climb on top of her.

"OWWW! Your crushing me you fatass cow" she groans out with a laugh.

"Well this fatass cow just made breakfast for 2 but since I'm so fat I guess I'll just eat both" I reply with a sigh.

She rolls her eyes in response and gets up to get ready as we continue to talk and play around.

After she finished up getting ready we ate breakfast and had a small conversation.

We talked about what we should do today and we decided on going grocery shopping then to watch a movie with the snack we bought.

We both argue about how ugly each other's outfits are before getting into the car.

I start driving and I hear Nadia say "Your music taste is ass"

I throw my phone at her face "then you pick a song" and she mumbles "Asshole" I chuckle.

After we went shopping for food and snacks and Nadia calling me broke the entire time, we headed home to watch some Netflix.

"HOMARA (donkey/dumbass), SET UP THE MOVIE" I yell to her from my room to which she says,

"I ALREADY AM, YA ZIFT"

We were enjoying ourselves until my phone rang and it was my dick boss.

"I have to take this really quick, it's my boss" I tell her. Her smile slowly drops and she whispers ok.

A ping of guilt pierces me. I feel bad because we have barely spent any time together since I got my job and started going to college. But I have to pay rent and provide for her so it's not a choice anymore.

"We need you to come in an hour early" he informs me in his usual flat tone.

I just rolled my eyes because I already knew he was gonna to say that. I need the extra shifts though so I polietly answer back "Yea sure no problem" and I just hear the line end in my face.

"Asshole" I say to myself and walk out to tell my sister. I open my mouth to speak but she beats me to it.

"You need to go early?" she guesses, her voice heavy with sadness.

"Yea, I'm sorry" I reply, trying to soften my tone and she just nods, turning off the TV and heading to her room.

More guilt floods in and I debate calling out, telling my boss to suck it and spend the day with my sister but I literally can not afford to do that.

I go get ready since I'm supposed to be there by 5 pm and it's already 3:30. My job is 20 minutes away so I have to leave at 4:35-ish.

While I'm getting ready my sister comes into my room. "Leila? Can I go to Lisa's house? Her mom is picking me up" she asks me.

"Yea sure call me when you get there and what time are you gonna get home?" I raise a brow and she shrugs.

"I can just sleepover, we haven't hung out in a while and tomorrow is Sunday anyways" she insists.

I give her a look filled with concern and she just walks over and hugs me.

"I'm not upset, I just wanna hang out with my friends because you're a boring old lady now" she says and we both laugh.

"Ok but still call me and behave" I say. She nods and I finish getting ready and start to leave.

"Don't forget to lock the door behind you!" I remind her.

"I'm not stupid Leila" she replies.

"YES YOU ARE!" I yell a little louder since I'm further away now.

I get in the car and head to work. Im a server in a well known restaurant in my city called 'Luxury'. I've been working here for a little over 2 years now and the job sucks ass but it pays the bills.

My shift flew by today, there weren't as many customers which is odd because weekends were usually packed but I can't complain.

By the time I'm cleaning up my last tables, I see Mila walk in. She approaches me with a wide ass smile plastered on her face.

"Stop smiling like that, you look insane" i say, only half jokingly.

Her smile drops and she pouts. "You're so mean but I don't even care. I got the best dick of my life last night and guess what!" she says, waiting for me to guess but I just stare at her blankly.

She rolls her eyes, continuing "HE WANTS TO GO ON A DATE! LIKE WITH FOOD AND STUFF!" she basically screams out while clapping her hands.

"Wow" I reply, not really knowing how to respond. The hell is she so happy about?

The Free food?

"Oh that's not even the best part" she adds "He has a hot ass brother too and-" I cut her off by saying "No" in a firm tone and she frowns.

"Please, it's free food and his brother hates people too. Plus he's really hot and older than us. I know you like older guys. And he's loaded and he's-"

I cover my ears and half yell "Fine just stop the torture, please. Jesus" she smiles even wider then before if that's possible.

"Ok when I get the info I'll text it to you. Also I'm going to come over with a dress for you" I roll my eyes and start to say "N-'' but I'm immediately cut off by her saying

"See you tomorrow. Love you babe!" and she walks out.

She just leaves.

I'm too exhausted to even care. It's free food and probably a waste of time but it's not like I have anything better planned especially since my sister left me, bitch.

I finished up work and headed home. I walk in and do the same routine I do everyday.

I think the date will be a good thing for me.

Worst case scenario is the guys a dick and I still get food while the best case scenario is he's not a dick and I still get food.

Yea ok the date is a great idea.

I close my eyes and start to drift to sleep.
