I wake up to my alarm blaring and check my phone. It's 8am. I would usually hit the gym but Dominic convinced me that since we have a house show today and it's my birthday, that I should rest. I won't be able to see him until later because he has some stuff to do. It's been a busy two weeks with work so we haven't been able to do as many dates as we would like to but we do everything we can to spend as much time together as possible. We're having family dinner tonight at Abuela's after the house show. It ends at 10 so it'll be late but at least we will all be together. I get out of bed and walk into the living room. All the curtains are still closed and the tv is still off. That's weird because Mami and Abuela are normally awake by now. I walk into the kitchen and see a note on the table.
' Birthday Girl, we ran out to get some stuff, be back soon. P.s Happy Birthday! -Abuela and Mami'
Well, I guess it's just me for now. I should take this time to do some self care. That's what I'll do. I go into my room and check the temperature before planning my outfit. It's 75 degrees out. I'll just grab a sports bra and shorts for now, it's just Mami, Abuela, Ethan, and Aj until tonight. I'm not sure when Aj,Ethan, and Jackson are coming but I know they will be before the show. Greg was going to come but he wasn't able to get the night off of work. Greg is a sweet kid, I'm glad Ethan is happy and found someone that accepts him. I get in the shower and do my whole routine.

When I get out I blow dry my hair and braid it so it's out of my face. I get dressed and then decide to put on my face mask. I haven't done one in a while. While that sits on my face I go into the kitchen to make myself a coffee. I normally buy my coffee today but one of Dom and I's rules is he pays for starbucks from now on, but I haven't been drinking enough water the last two weeks so he said no starbucks. Jokes on him, I can make coffee here and he isn't here to stop me. I make myself a coffee and put it in one of the starbucks cups I have here, making myself a decent enough Iced coffee.
I decided since they are still not back, and knowing Abuela we will need pico for dinner, I got to the garden and grabbed everything I needed to start chopping. I know she won't ask me to chop because it's my birthday but I'm bored because I'm not at the gym and no one is here so I'll just do it anyway. I hook up my music to the house speaker and start chopping. As i'm chopping I realize that I shuffle my playlist, but all it is playing is 2000's reggaeton, so all songs about sex. Because that is making my day so much better, remind me that I haven't been intimate with my boyfriend for 2 weeks. I swear I make a female ferret look tame. But, the song still has a good beat so I continue jamming out while cutting everything.
When I turn around to put the now finished Pico De Gallo in the fridge I see Aj and Ethan come in. "Happy Birthday Mami!" Ethan says coming over and hugging me. "Thank you," I say carefully, hugging him back, I don't want to get the face mask in his hair. Aj comes over and hugs me and then pulls back and looks at me. "Have you checked your phone?" He asks. "Not in a little bit, I was making Pico, why?" I ask. "You need to check your phone. Also, why are you making Pico? Shouldn't you be trying to relax?" Ethan asks. "What is that exactly? I've been going non stop for the last two weeks and it's only going to get worse the closer we get to Wrestlemania," I say. "Sit down, check your phone, I'll fill your water, I'm sure it's empty already," Aj says, smirking at me. He knows about Dom and I and the list of rules, so does Rhea, Buddy, and Damian. They are the ones that are allowed to know but they are also the ones who make sure I'm taking care of myself if he can't check on me.
