So life huh it just hits you and then you update again. Here is the next episode. :D Please let me know what you think. Constructive criticisms are welcome.

"Holy Shit. I am so sorry!" Sascha exclaimed as she bent down to help Alejandra up. Shock written all over her face she was truly horrified that she had just kissed and dropped Alejandra. Not to mention she did not even want to turn and face the person who had just called her name.

There standing with a prominent scowl on her face was Lucia Iliana Torres Baryshnikov, mother/tormentor of Sascha.

Sascha slowly turned around to face the inevitable chewing out she was going to get from her mother.

Although she loves her mother Sascha and Lucia don't really have a strong relationship, but how could they. Lucia gave birth to all boys and when she finally had a daughter she wanted a sweet obedient demure girl who she could dress up and mold to be a perfect example of a lady. What she got was non conformist, tomboyish, sexually fluid Sascha who does what she wants and says what she wants with no regards for others. So the relationship they have is strained.

"Hola Mami" Sascha said with a strained look on her face.

"¿Qué estás haciendo?"(What are you doing?) Her mother said through clenched teeth. "I told you to behave yourself while we are here." Lucia looked sascha up and down realizing what she was wearing neglecting to see her outfit earlier.

"y lo que llevas puesto?(And what are you wearing?) What happened to the dress I bought you?" She questioned.

" Sorry mami Creo que lo perdí.(I think I lost it.) So I had to improvise. Don't you like it?" Sascha sarcastically knowing the answer.

Her mother rolled her eyes and grabbed her arm pulling her closer to her away from Alejandra, "Never mind. Why are you kissing her?" She asked in a hushed whisper pointing at Alejandra

Sascha glanced at Alejandra who was clearly out of earshot and wondered why her mother was whispering. "I don't know, it just happened, I don't really like her I don't even know her." Sascha said knowing full well that her statement was a lie. "It was just the adrenaline of the dance and everything. Why, you've never cared who I kissed before?" She inquired.

"Good and because you can't like her. we just talked with her father and it turns out he is trying to takeover one of our small businesses in Spain on my side of the family. You know your prima Pepa who took over the restaurant after tía abuela died?

"Yea she makes the best food and that restaurant is awesome."

"Well Alejandro and his company want to build a giant galleria there and they want to destroy the restaurant to make a parking lot. They have been harassing Pepa and driving away customers ever since she refused to sell. We have been giving her money and trying to contact the company but they refused to listen. Now Alejandro tells your father about this and we tell him to back down and he refused. He says he plans to take down our whole branch in Spain now."

Sascha stood astonished, she could not believe what she was hearing. "I cannot believe he could be so...so... What is the word I am looking for?" Sascha pondered.

"Dickish?" Her mother answered for her.

"Yea Dickish like a total dickhead. He can't move where he wants to put the freaking parking lot? We have had our resteraunt there since forever ago!" She exclaimed.

"Sí, y ahora ya sabes por qué(Yes, and now you know why) you can't like that girl because of her father." Her mother nodded.

"sí, yo entiendo."(Yes I understand.) Sascha said with a bowed head then she remembered her lie, "Wait I already told you I don't like her."

"Yea okay. Come with me." Her mother grabbed her hand. "Your father wants to see all of you in our suite for a family meeting."

"Fine." Sascha said as she let her mother drag her away. She glanced back at Alejandra's form and thought to herself, Well damn, now that our families are enemies I might like her even more. That's just great.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Alejandra stood watching as Sascha talked with her mother. She could not understand what had happened and why her ass hurt so much.

As she watched Sascha and her mother, questions flew into her head.:

Why had she dropped me? Why did her mother yell? Is she not out yet?

No stupid why would SHE be out YOU'RE not even out to your father.

Well he could figure it out it's not like I hide it and what am I supposed to say, Hey dad I like tits and fanny.

That's a start.

Alejandra continued to argue with herself internally as she stared at Sascha when her thoughts were interrupted.

"What are you doing?" her father asked.

Alejandra jumped slightly. Why the hell does everyone keep scaring me tonight. she asked herself.

"Oh nothing just standing here."

"It looks like you were staring at the Baryshnikov girl." Her father stated with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh I was and I was wondering how she could have such a dreadful outfit on." She lied smoothly.

"Yes it is bad. Listen I was wondering if you could try and make friends with the girl."

He obviously had not just seen them practically making out on the dance floor. "Yea sure why?" She asked skeptically.

"Because I want to take down the Baryshnikovs and if you were her friend you could find out more information. Maybe you could even hook up with one of the brothers to get information."

Alejandra could not believe it her father was trying to get her to spy and pimp her out to the Baryshnikovs. But she could not say no to her father. "Umm I guess so." She said hesitantly.

"Good if this goes well I could even let you in on the business." Her father smiled at her and kissed her forehead. "Good job sweetie I'm going to bed good luck with the Bary's." And with that he left.

Alejandra just stood in shock, "Oh man my father's a dick." She sighed out loud.
