When I opened the door to Dom and Mia's home I immediately stepped into some wild party. People were all on the floor, on the walls, on the couch. Hell, I'm sure if they had a chandelier they would be swinging from that too. The music was loud and I quickly hopped over the people in front of the TV.
"Hey, now the party can start!" Vince yelled staggering around the corner. He shoved a beer in my hand and patted my shoulder. I looked around for Mia who was running around trying to keep the house clean.
"Need any help?" I ask following her into the kitchen. It brought me back to our high school years when Dom threw parties. She pointed to the stack of dishes and I groaned. I regretted that I asked. I took off my rings and charm bracelet putting it in the window seal. I took all the dishes out, drained the dirty water from the bin, and poured the dish soap in. I scrubbed and dried like clockwork. I stopped every now and then to fuss out anyone who brought in another stack.
"Thanks Phylli, I owe you one," Mia said leaning on the counter. I rinsed out the last cup and sighed.
"Can I crash here?" I asked.
"Sure, why not...everything alright?" She asked touching my arm. The thought of Johnny fled as quickly as it came.
"Yeah I'm alright, can shower too?"
"Yeah but use Dom's bathroom, my shower head is broken."When I got back from my car with the duffle bag I raced up to Dom's bathroom. I let the water run over my head. It took a minute for my hair to absorb it and unravel. With all the shrinkage one would think I was just as bald as Dom. My hair expanded down past my shoulders. There was a knock on the door and a small face with dark hair peeped in. I couldn't make out their face from behind the foggy glass.
"Get out!" I yell. They come in and shut the door. The shower glass door swings open and I scream trying to cover myself.
"Look, sis, I've seen it all before," Letty says, "Are you almost done?"
"Why?" I say trying to calm down my heart.
"We need it." She said simply. I shook my head of the visual of her and— No!
"Alright, I'll be out in a minute."When I was out the shower I put my lotion on and rolled on an oversized t-shirt. There was still commotion going on downstairs. I went into Mia's room and flopped onto the bed.
"You missed everything," she said bouncing around the corner. I leaned my head up off the pillow as if to say "What?".
"Dom brought home that guy from the store...said he saved him from the cops," she said. I shrugged my shoulders and rolled over so she could sit down.
"I saw Johnny today," I mumbled.
"You what!" She shouted. She got up and closed her door.
"He popped up in the garage asking for a second chance," I said.
"That bastard," Mia said through gritted teeth. I went back to sleep ignoring her nagging questions.
