Sorry this has taken forever guys. I took a little break over the winter break.
JJ stares at this new man for a moment before dropping his head in his hands and muttering something in a different language under his breath. "Puto mierda."
"¿Por qué mierda te acostaste con mi novia?" (Why the fuck did you sleep with my girlfriend?) Said this random guy looking at JJ.
JJ stares at him before the new guy turns to me with a cocky smile.
"¿Y quién es esta bella dama y por qué no nos ha presentado todavía?" (And who's this pretty lady, and why haven't you introduced us yet?)
"Mierda Luca, lo siento, pero ¿mamá no te dijo que no nos interrumpieras hasta que la tuviera asegurada?" (Shit Luca, I'm sorry but didn't Mom tell you to not interrupt us until I had her secured?) JJ said in his strange language.
"I'm sorry, English please." I tell them, genuinely so confused.
The mysterious guy opened his mouth to answer me but was interrupted by JJ.
"¡Ella no sabe nada sobre la operación y no puedes arruinarlo todo porque estás enojado conmigo! ¡Jesucristo Luca!" (She doesn't know anything about the operation and you can't blow it all because you're mad at me! Jesus Christ Luca!) JJ says once again in their foreign language.
"Okay guys this is really pissing me off now."
"Mierda está bien JJ, relájate." (Shit okay JJ, chill out.) The mysterious guy said once again in a language that I now thought was Spanish.
"What my brother here was telling me was how sorry he was for sleeping with my girlfriend." Mysterious man, who was now apparently JJ's brother, said to me with a humourless smile.
I look at JJ sitting across the table then look at JJ's brother looking down on me. I look around the restaurant in disbelief and meet the eyes of the girl who was standing with JJ's brother earlier. I look away and focus on what just happened.
"What-?" I ask JJ looking at him with accusing eyes. "You slept with your brother's girlfriend, Why would you do that?"
"Well it was a long time ago, if that's any consolation and we were both drunk and high at the time." JJ says awkwardly. "And she was not being faithful. Whatever. I saw her sneak multiple guys in." He said defensively, then realized how it sounded.
"Well okay then. ¿Tienes dibs en esta?" (Do you have dibs on this one?) JJ's brother said, nodding at me, speaking again in Spanish.
"Sí, lo hago, idiota" (Yeah I do you asshole.) JJ said. I pulled out my phone and hit record secretly so I could translate the conversation later.
"Okay." JJ's brother said. "How would you like to take a ride with me, sweetheart?" Looking at me again.
And with that I was picked up from my seat in JJ's brother's arms. I beat his chest, not wanting to be manhandled this way.
JJ's brother had his hand under my back and his other hand under my knees, effectively using me as a human shield against JJ. He knew that JJ wouldn't do anything to jeopardize my safety.
"If you don't put me down right now I will-." I stutter.
"You'll what princess?" JJ's brother says using a particularly popular word.
I smack him across the face and get out of his grip walking towards the restaurant door.
I turn around as I hear JJ's fist colliding with something hard. I watch as he hits his brother twice more for good measure before I turn away and walk out of the restaurant. I called an uber and started walking down the alley beside the restaurant.
"In case you're wondering, this is pretty common." I hear from a voice down the alley. I spun to face the girl who talked to me, seeing that she has JJ's eyes and his brother's sharp jawline.
"Their sister?" I guess rolling my eyes.
"Got it in one, honey. Don't be surprised by their antics, they're always like this." She says with a slight Southern accent. She walks out of the alley with me, falling into step beside me. She's wearing a short black dress with a leather jacket and I envy her style immediately. Her bright pink hair stands out in the glowing sunset right on our faces.
"This is all super fucking weird. I just need to go home and forget all about JJ and his brother." I say realizing I'm venting to their sister.
We walk together for a little while in silence before I remember something. "What's your brother's name, by the way?" I ask not knowing what else to say.
"It's Luca, if that's the one you're asking about."
'Yes that's the one, thanks."
My Uber finally pulls up in front of me and as I open the door I ask one last thing.
"What's your name?"
"It's Aberdeen, but my friends call me Abi." She gives me a slight smile. "I think we'll be great friends, Lana."
"Yeah..." I climb in my uber.
Hit 8000 words this chapter guys.
