Can She Not?

Chapter 3

Audrey

I didn't I could hate that skanky stick with tits anymore than I already did, but I suppose anything is really possible. Andrea and I have been sitting alone in this stupid car with no air conditioning for about half an hour already. The relentless heat of the mid summer didn't seem to be helping our cause either. The worse thing about sitting here would be all thick, humid air trapped in with us, making it difficult to breathe. Not that Catalina cared, but I was pretty sure that this was illegal.

The now obnoxious sound of Stockholm Syndrome blasting through Andrea's phone speaker on full volume and the excessive heat started to make my head throb. If this is what hell is like, then maybe I should ask Shawn if we could join a church later. Speaking of Shawn... for a split second I thought of texting him about this whole situation, but then I realized he would say something along the lines of  "Oh, it's probably just some important business related stuff. She'll be out soon," brushing it off like he always did. Because it's not like his sweet Cat could do anything intentionally wrong. I love my brother, I really do. But sometimes he could be a real blockhead.

Not less than five minutes later, Catalina came sauntering out of the shady house looking more smug than ever. By that time, Andrea and I were already drenched in sweat. Our thighs stuck to the leather car seat and my once light grey tank top now had embarrassing dark stains under my boobs and armpits. Glancing at us through the rear view mirror, Catalina's face scrunched up in disgust.

"Um no. You guys look gross. I can't be seen in public with you looking like this, you know there's gonna be paparazzi there. Ugh, and you just had to sweats on the seats! This is a new car you know!"

So that was why she wanted to take us out. Publicity. Of course. Why would it possibly be for any other reason?

Catalina finally dug her key into the ignition,starting up the car. " We're stopping at my place to get you girls showered and changed so you can look presentable." I sank deeper into my seat. This sure was gonna be a long day.
