All These New Beauty Marks

Chapter 6

I step out of my car in Garcias parking lot. I check my watch and I am right on time for our little girls night we have planned. I see Emily walking up to Garcias building and walk/run after her.

"Hey Emily." I say with a smile. She turns around breifly

"Oh JJ hi." She says smiling back. "I didnt see you sneaking up behind me." She laughs as we walk. We are walking into the lobby when all the sudden my phone rings. Its Kent.

"Shoot." I say as I give her the 'just one minute' finger. "I gotta take this." I say. I press the accept button and hold it up to my ear. "Hey babe! Whatsup?" I say as I pick up the phone.

"Uh not much. Just wondering where you are and if you wanna get a drink with me or if I should just head out alone." He says.

"Oh shoot." I say. "I forgot to tell you I was gonna be with the girls tonight and Henry is at my... uh moms." I say and Emily gives me a confused look.

"Okay I will go alone then." He says sadly.

"Hey maybe don't go now and when I get home we could watch a movie. I mean you did get drinks yesterday and.."

"Um sorry I dont remember asking for your opinion. I asked if you wanted to come with. So if you don't I will go alone. Jesus woman you are so damn annoying." He practically yells into the phone. I jerk it away, startled, from my ear and hang up. I turn my phone off and look up at Emily.

"Everything okay?" She says cautiously.

"I don't know, he just got really annoyed all the sudden. Whatever, probably a bad day at work, its fine." I say reasuringly.

"Ugh boys are stupid sometimes." She laughs as we start walking again.

"Amen." I say lauging.

When we knock on Gracias door we hear a yell from Garcia.

"NO ITS RUINED ROSSI YOU DONT GET IT!" Emily and I both look at eachother and start to panic. The door opens and smokey air rushes out and Garcia is on the other side looking like a mess."Sorry guys I was on the phone with Rossi trying to make Lasagna but it did not work." She says. "No Rossi it was your fault not mine now goodbye." She says into her earpiece and hangs up. Emily and I stare at eachother beginning to giggle. "Shut up or I will do it for you." Garcia says. "Im gonna order pizza." She sighs in defeat as she invites us in.

"Oh dont beat yourself up Garcia we've all had a Rossi cooking class gone bad." Emily laughs.

"Speak for yourself." I say. "I am an amazing cook."

"Shutup really." Garcia says. I nod and laugh.

"No fair." Emily adds in.

The rest of the night goes smoothly and there are alot of secrets spilled and alot of jokes cracked. As the night goes on, the alchohol goes in. I'm not sure how it happens but at some point my memory of the night blurrs into the morning.

I wake up in a house I recognize but don't know. I am in a bedroom in a bed with Henry safe in ny arms.

"Oh. My. God." I say as I sit up. "What the hell happened." I whisper to myself. I look at the clock. 7:57. Lets just say... henry has to be at school at 8:15. "Oh. My. God." I whisper yell and jump out of bed. I look down and I am wearing the same Iviva leggings and hoodie that reads 'Miami' as the night before. Henry is snuggled in a Lakers T-shirt that is way too big for him. I slightly open the door and peek through. I see someone walking around in the kitchen. Did I literally just get kidnapped. "Uh hello?" I say in a confused tone. The figure starts to laugh and turn around. Its Spencer. He crosses his arms and smirks. "Wait what. I am so confused. What- when- huh?"

"Haha JJ its fine chil out. I got a call from Garcia at around 10 yesterday asking if I had your kid. I told her I did and she told me to come get you because you were all too drunk to drive." He says. I put my face in my hands.

"Spencer are you kidding me. I am so sorry.. and embarrassed." I moan.

"Its fine."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. I gotta be honest drunk JJ is wayyy cooler than regular JJ." He mocks.

"Shutup." I laugh and hit him with a pillow.

"No but seriously you good JJ?"

"Yes, why? Did I say something?"

"No its just not like you to get that drunk. So I was wondering if there was something going on that made you want to avoid a problem by getting drunk." He says quickly.

"No no Spence I am fine. Thankyou though." I say sincerely. He smiles and then cracks another joke about how much cooler I am drunk.
