Teresa
"Thank you for taking us to the store Dahlia."
"It's no problem."
We walked inside the house and put the grocery bags on the table. "Rose!" I frowned when I didn't get an answer. "Paloma go check on your sister." She nodded and went upstairs.
Dahlia helped me put away the groceries. "You know, Rose is quite the commodity."
I nodded, "I know. She's very special.""You need to keep a close watch over her."
I stood up from the refrigerator and looked at her. "Do you know something that I don't?" She shook her head and gave me her signature sly smile. "Nope." I rolled my eyes. I trusted Dahlia, but I also know that at the end of the day Dahlia looks out for what is best for Dahlia.
Paloma came back downstairs. "She's not here mom. I texted her and she said she's out with a friend."
"A friend? She doesn't know anyone here." Paloma looked at me and shrugged her shoulders. I sighed. "Well she's going to miss out on her favorite tonight. I'm making tacos de cerdo." Paloma's eyes lit up. "Can I help?" "You sure can."
Dahlia grabbed some wine from the refrigerator and walked into the living room. "I've got my dinner." I rolled my eyes and started showing Paloma what to do.
After a while we heard a knock on the door. Dahlia was already up and heading towards the door with a large hunting knife before I could even say a word. "Who is it?!" Dahlia called out.
"It's me bitch!"
Dahlia smiled. She lowered the knife and opened the door. "Iliana?" "Yep! I'm back!" Dahlia gave her a big hug and pulled her into the house.
"Teresa, Paloma, This is Iliana. A K A Poison Ivy. She's the girl you want for any kind of poison, pills, antidotes, or any kind of shit like that."
I nodded and walked over to her. "Hi, I'm Teresa. This is my youngest daughter Paloma and my oldest daughter you will meet when she gets back."
Iliana nodded. "Nice to meet you." She looked over at Dahlia. "So does that mean you gave away my room?"
Dahlia laughed, "Hell no! Your shit is the same way you left it in the basement. All the shit you got growing and whatever else down there. I wasn't even going down there, let alone make someone sleep down there."
Iliana laughed. "Oh yeah. I need to go check on that. I had some good as sativa strains growing down there."
We all laughed. "Well, while you check on that. Paloma and I will finish preparing tacos de cerdo. You hungry?"
"Hell yes. I'll go check my stuff out, shower and change then I'll come back up so we can all talk."
I nodded. She seemed nice enough. Although I'd never accept a drink made by her.
Where the fuck was Rose at? She better not be getting into any trouble.
