Martina

*I woke up, feeling like there is a needle in my head and my stomach upside down. I got out of bed with my eyes still closed and headed to the bathroom. I remember the way from here to my bathroom with my eyes closed, that is how every morning starts. But with a loud bang, my head hit the wall. What is... I opened my eyes and looked around. This is not my... not my room. I turned to the door which just opened and saw Jorge with a smile on his face*

J: Good morning sweetheart

M: What am I doing here? And why am I feeling so...

*I couldn't ask more because of my stomach. I pushed him aside, running to the toilet*

J: You really didn't know when to stop yesterday

*He said and kneeled beside me*

J: I was walking around and saw you drinking one bottle after another

*I felt his fingers in my hair, pulling it in a ponytail and tying it up*

J: So I got you out... I'll be in the kitchen

*Jorge muttered and left the bathroom.*

...

J: I made some soup for you

M: Oh, thank you

*He placed my breakfast on the table and sat towards me with a mug of coffee.*

M: Did I... by any chance... do something inappropriate yesterday?

J: No, nothing unusual. But you should be more careful next time you decide to drink. What was the reason anyway?

M: I guess I was overworked and... needed something that would make me think of... nothing.

J: I have an advice for you. Don't go to work

M: It's not that easy...

J: Just call... Stephie and say you're sick. You can stay here. I am not going anywhere today either

M: Well, I will try to.

*I stood up and took my phone, calling Mechi first. But she's not answering. I have no other choice then...*

M: Uhm, hello Stephie

S: WHERE ARE YOU MARTINA

*Even Jorge heard her from my phone and looked surprised*

M: I am sorry but today I won't be able to come

S: Ugh. I wanna see you here tomorrow!

M: Yes ma'am. Thank you

*I hang up with relief that she didn't eat me alive*

J: Great, I know what we're gonna do
