Janel's POV
I brought my mom, and Crystal to this nice seafood restaurant so we can de-stress an enjoy ourselves.
"Mami how's work?"
"Ahhh mija it's good right now. I got a raise and I am general manager of the firm!"
"Wow! That's great mami."
"Yea, and chicas I think we will be moving soon."
"Why?" asked Crystal.
"Because a raise means more dineroooo (money)!!! Bigger house!" my mom laughed.
"Shoot, I support." I said sipping my Shirley Temple then I saw Brandon in the corner of my eye....I think.
"Hey B." I got up from my seat and hugged him.
"Woah Janel, I haven't seen you in a minute. How are you?"
"I am good. You trying to collect myself." I tried hard to say this without sounding fake. "Who's this?"
"This is my girl Jessie. Jessie this is Janel."
"Hi." Jessie said.
"AYE JJ, how cute." I said. "Anyways, um how's the guys?" I asked.
"We're good, good, ya know. Everyone maxing it out, chillin' ."
"That's good." I sighed. "Um how's Zion?" I shook as I said that.
"Uh he's good." Brandon looked uncomfortable so I just let it go.
"Well alright, good seeing you B, catch you later."
"See ya Janel." and he continued to his seat with his girl. How cute. I wish I was on a date with Zion.....
"Was that my buddy Brandon Arreaga?" asked my mom.
"Yes mom hahaha."
"Mi chico blanquito. Como esta?" (My white boy, how is he?) my mom sipped her champagne.
"He's good, they're all good. And tiene una novia ahora." (he has a girlfriend now)
We had been at the restaurant for an hour then something LOCO happened.
"Is that Edwin?" Crystal started to say.
"Yep, and there goes Austin and Z-" I chocked on my food and ran to the bathroom.
"Adonde va?" (where is she going?) asked my mom.
"Eu não sei."(I don't know). Then Crystal ran after me.
"OMG WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE? QUE MIERDA!!" (WHAT THE FUCK)
"Calm down Janel, esta bien, esta bien." she rubbed my back as I bent over on the counter.
"I am not ready, I can't see him. I am still not---". I teared up.
"Hermana, tranqui.(Sister chill) You are beautiful and you need to be a powerful mujer now, and walk out there with your head high, because tu sabes que eres the shit!" she laughed and dried my tears.
"Okay, but if he---"
"You just need to be polite and not desperate Janel."
"But I AM DESPERATE!"
"Don't show it. Just like when we were in that house.Si tu tienes miedo, no mostralo. (If you're afraid, don't show it.)
When she said this I immediately got my shit together and walked out.
