VALENTINA REYES

"Roza, Mija, when are your friends gonna get here?" Marco ask as Valentina walks into the kitchen. Today she's having her get together with everybody and she's not the happiest for it because Sweet Pea is technically invited. Now she doesn't know if he'll actually come but she hopes not.

"Uhh 8." She says and opens the fridge. He wipes the water off the side of the sink with a nod.

"I'm working the night shift at the hospital, so I'll be gone til morning." Valentina looks back at him with furrowed eyebrows.

"You just got back from work. Are we okay?" He nods his head with a laugh. He rubs her arm comfortingly.

"More than okay. Hospital is just short staffed." Valentina nods her head as he gives her a kiss on the head and walks to the door. "Te amo Mija." She waves at him with a smile.

"Love you, Dad." He shuts the door behind him and she shuts the fridge, not finding something she wants. She just decides to wait because food is being delivered for later.

The doorbell rings and Valentina opens it up, confused. She not expecting anybody for another hour. When she opens it she sees Sweet Pea and rolls her eyes. She wants to slam the door in his face but didn't get the chance because he just walks in the house.

"Come in, I guess." She mutters and shuts the door. He looks at her with concealed emotions in his eyes. She just looks at him, waiting for whatever he has to say.

"I know what you're doing." He says rather accusingly and Valentina raises her eyebrows challengingly. He looks down at her with hard eyes and continues. "I get why you said what you said."

"Oh yeah? Why?" Valentina was willing to bet money that he didn't know what he thought he knew. She's too good at what she does for him to know and if he does know, then he doesn't. Either way it doesn't matter, he'll never know the truth.

"We got too real and you got scared. So you're pushing me away. That's why you got with him and said what you said. You didn't get bored, you got scared." Sweet Pea stands there so sure he's right and he is. He's more than right but Valentina would never let him know that, so she laughs. It's manipulative and condescending.

"You're fucking delusional." She says and crosses her arms. He steps towards her, not wanting to give up. She stands her ground and straightens her back even more.

"No..I can tell when you're lying." Valentina shakes her head, laughing at him.

"You think so? Okay prove it." Sweet Pea nods. He's persistent in this but he's also wrong. He can't tell when she's lying, he's just trying to back up his delusional that are technically true.

"You get extra nonchalant when you lie." He pulls that outta nowhere and Valentina shakes her head. That's how she knew she got him confused.

"What you're saying is that I am scared to be with you so I used Chuck to push you away. It ever occurred to you that maybe, just maybe I don't like you?" Valentina says and he slams his hand on the door next to her head. Sweet Pea always had a hard time keeping his anger under control, especially when other emotions were involved. "You're absolutely crazy."
