My Valentine

The Scheming

I wake up with a groan. Crap, why did I have to down the bottle of tequila last night? I knew those shots we took before we got to the club would get to me, but I just wanted to let loose and forget about everything. The killer headache I had was a reminder why I rarely got drunk. Damn. I just knew I had done something reckless, Yay! I can't wait for the yelling I'm most likely going to get from Sol.

I finally open my eyes and see I'm not in bed. I'm in the tub, no wonder I had a kink in my neck. GREAT. Another thing I'll have to deal with today. I get out of the tub slowly and almost fall back in when my leg steps in a puddle, in a puddle? Please, Please, Please, let it be tequila and not pee. I open the bathroom door and step into my room. The curtains are pulled closed, ahhh how'd I get so luck? Man why did I sleep in the bathroom? I can think about that later I make my way towards the bed slowly taking off the crumpled dress and sliding into the silky sheets.

I stretch out getting comfy when my arm hits a leg? what the hell. I look under the sheet and see Flor sprawled in my bed, under my sheets with a small pool of saliva. I would totally take a picture, but my head is killing me and I have no idea where my phone is. How didn't I notice her before ? Ehh, I shrug and just snuggle into the sheets and relax. I didn't know what time It was but I was not going to get out of bed any time soon.

Or so I thought. I knew It was too easy to painless of a morning after. Marisol barges into the room and lets the door slam against the wall. All I hear is a loud "BOOM" and feet stomping over to the windows to drawl back the blinds. I half groan, half scream while I bring the sheets over my head. The room was so bright seeing as though that was how I had designed the house, to have sunlight come into the house making it seem airy and free.

Marisol yells at me "BUENOS DIAS NINITA! Wake up! LEVANTATE!" I peek from the under the sheets and see Marisol with her hair up in a low bun with wisps coming out and dressed in a cute burgundy T-shirt dress, holding a cup of coffee. I just groan OF COURSE she'd do this to me while I was hung over. "MARI, shut up. Get out and let me sleep". She just smiles and turns around and leaves the room. Knowing her she'll probably come back with ice cold water and dump it on me. I was not in the mood to be chilled to the bone. I sigh. ugh. I just want to sleep in why does she torture me?

I get up slowly but as I do I hear Marisol Blast music. I scowl. "Damn It Marisol! Ya Voy!! Turn it down!" I flinch shit I really needed Advil. I get out of bed and kick Flor off the bed, If I had to suffer the lecture I was gonna get she was too. All I hear is an oommf and a word that rhymes with witch, lets just say she slept on the wrong side of the bed.

I go to my closet and pull out a random shirt putting it on as I make my way down stairs towards the kitchen where Sol was making Huevos rancheros and frijoles with home made tortilla chips. Man I love her.The smell was welcoming for my stomach. I pour myself some coffee and took two Advils and sit on the stool by the counter. I hear shuffling in the back and Flor comes in scratching her butt taking a deep breath in "Sol, Your a goddess I love you" I just smile behind my mug because my sister IS indeed a goddess but I can't tell her that because it would go to her already big head.

She sets the plates in front of us. We say grace and start eating the food while listening to I'll show you in the background. My sister was a huge Justin Bieber fan. She sighs and I know I'm about to get chastised like a child. "Okay Nina, what the hell were you thinking last night? Getting drunk and grinding on a guy you didn't even know? You know what Mama and Abuela are going to do to you right? Don't even get me started on what Papa will do. He'll threat to have you sent to a convent!" I just laugh at that. I was 24, my father was all talk plus he'd never find out. Flor was to busy scarfing down her food she didn't seem to hear the conversation. "Mar, cam down no one will ever --" I was interrupted by the music turning into the latest scandal.
