The morning after is never a good one. I rolled out of bed and slowly made my way to the bathroom whilst my head was pounding. 

"Ah mija, how you feeling?" 

"I'm okay abuelita" I lied and went in to the bathroom. 

It took another 3 hours to finally feel even slightly better, right on time to be disturbed by Ruby and his friends in the living room.  Every time I increased the volume of the tv, their volume of conversation would double. That was until Ruby turned it off and stood in front of it.

"Fuck off, Ruby!" I threw a pillow that hit him right in the head. 

He drew a sharp breath, "It is way too loud." and walked back to his seat. 

"You know Sofia, if you want you could come too." Cesar gave a small wink. Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm at least 5 years older than him but according to him, he looks older than his age so it doesn't count. 

"Come where?"

"Cesar got jumped into the Santos. So they're having a few people over for a barbeque tonight." Monse replied in an annoyed tone. She was annoyed at the fact that he was jumped in for as long as I've known her which has been 8 days now. 

"Your brother is Spooky right?" I asked cautiously. Starting to recall last nights events. 

"Yes, why do you know that?" Ruby asked and came and sat on the table in front of me, now only inches away. "Please tell me you didn't piss him off last night. Is that why you came in so late? Were they after you? Were you running? We need Mario. It's so hot in here, I cant breathe!" Jamal came over and started fanning him as he moved erratically. 

"Dude you're next." Jamal firmly said to him leading to Ruby to groan and sweat even more. 

"Would y'all just calm down! I was late because we left the party early and went to eat. Everything is cool, so cool that yes Cesar I'll also be coming tonight!" I smiled.

"Knew you would mami" He winked back. Oh lord.

It was around 8pm when Ruby and I made our way to Cesar's barbeque. Ruby picked out my outfit whilst I caught him up on what happened in the party. He reluctantly agreed that it wasn't a big deal which did help me feel better about it too. I was wearing a blue silk knee length summer dress with a pair of white trainers and my hair open with the crazy curls in every direction, reaching just above my ass.

There were no people in the porch as we made our way to the garden in which at most there were about 20 people. The music also was much lower and playing softer Spanish music. there were about 2 barbeque stations with one table of snacks and drinks. I took a breath in, this wasn't so bad, right?

"Just keep away from Spooky and DON'T drink" Ruby warned me for the fifth time and I rolled my eyes, yes mum.

"Hey you guys finally made it!" Cesar smiled as he walked towards us and completely walked past Ruby and gave my hug, a hug that was lasting a long time. 

"Yeah we made it" I awkwardly said as he wouldn't let go, I looked over his shoulder and saw Spooky at one of the barbeque stations looking at this uncomfortable hug with a raised eyebrow as he drank his beer. I finally was able to pull away and gave Cesar an awkward smile. 

"Ugh can we go eat now?" Ruby sighed and for once I agreed with his whining. 

We had been at the barbeque for an hour, after finally getting rid off Cesar thanks to Monse needing to talk to him. I sat on the gross ass sofa that was placed in the garden whilst drinking fuckin Pepsi. Ruby was making sure all my drinks were virgin. 

I was watching Ruby on the other end of the garden trying to chat up a girl when I felt someone sit right next to me, someone heavy. I turned to see Spooky sipping his beer as he watched me. Drunk or not, Ruby we gonn' die tonight. 

"Enjoying the party?" He asked, still carefully watching me. I hadn't noticed his tear drop tattoo until now. Fuck, he went to prison prison. "Yo do you talk!" He snapped impatiently, causing me flinch.

"Yes. Yes great party, I loveee...it." I replied unconvincingly, my eyes wide, probably looking like a scared ass squirrel. 

He chuckled and sat back, "So you're Cesar's puta then?" He casually asked, looking straight forward for once. 

"Did you just call me a bitch?" I asked before I could stop myself.

"Yeah."

"Okay." 

He laughed again and got closer to me "So, are you?" He asked in a low husky voice. I also hadn't realise how pretty his eyes were, they were so light and the shape reminded me of Bambi for some reason. 

"N-no, he's just Ruby's friend" I replied and looked away, catching Ruby's eye who was glaring from across the garden. Yes cousin, I hope you're wearing what you'd look good in dead. 

"I like that way you talk, aint never met a British mama" He nudged my leg with his and looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Would be smart to keep me alive then huh" I nervously smiled, realising I may have just offended him.

But he smiled and nodded, "You're funny, I like that too." and with that he placed his hand on my thigh to push himself up and walked off. 

I sunk into the sofa and began to finally calm down my heart rate until Ruby came and took his spot.

"Just tell me, I'm not mad. Are we dying tonight?" He asked, genuinely worried. 

"No, we good!" I laughed.
