Roses for a Santo (On My Block's Oscar Díaz)

Chapter 12

"Was he that bad that Andrew had to get knocked out?" Mimi said as she began to wipe her makeup off.

Already the next morning, Mimi just got back to my place. Hangover and marks on her neck...she definitely had a nice night.

Me too though.

"Well, he deserved it. He grabbed me like I was his girl or something. Oscar came right on time."

"Oscar?"

Oh shit, forgot to mention him to her.

"Who is Oscar?" She asks again.

"Let's just say...my man." I said nonchalantly as I made my way to the kitchen.

"Wait!" Mimi went after me. "Your man? When was this!?"

"Girl just go shower, I'll tell you once I finish breakfast." I shrugged her off.

"You better!" Mimi mutters when she turns to the room.

"Ugh, this girl."

——-/////——-

"Oh, you haven't made these in a while." Elena smiled as she took a cinnamon bun.

"Shout out to Pillsburry." I placed her breakfast on the table.

sunny side eggs, spam and toast and for a treat, the cinnamon buns.

"Catalina. Breakfast!" I yell. "Why is she taking so long?"

Elana shrugged as she takes a bite of her cinnamon bun.

"Calm down, estoy aqui." Catalina comes in. "I'm skipping that." She points at the breakfast. "Im on a diet, so I'll have yogurt."

"Oh, here we go again." I sighed, not bothering asking her why be on a diet. Catalina has a nice, healthy body but she is stubborn, she will never believe whatever we say.

"The dress didn't fit?" Elena chuckles.

"Hey, shut up!" Catalina backfires.

"What dress?" I ask.

"Her purple, velvet dress don't fit her anymore. It's not the end of the world."

"Mind your business!—-"

I rolled my eyes as they continued their bickering.

"Mimi. Breakfast!" I now called my friend who was taking so long in showering and getting ready.

I sat on the table and started eating.

"Ooh, delicious." Mimi smiles as she sits next to me.

"Yeah, eat up." I pass her a cup so she can pour herself some juice.

"Hey, enough!" I yelled at the girls who wouldn't shut up.

"So? This Oscar dude. Explain." Mimi breaks the silence.

"Oscar?" Elena and Catalina said in unison.

Oh boy.

I sighed, placing my fork down. "Well, I'm not going to deny it. I hooked up with Oscar last night, so there."

"No mames!" Catalina burst out, laughing, Elena mouth agape and Mimi still confused.

"Who?" Mimi asks again.

"The neighbor from yesterday." I tell her.

"Bitch! You didn't say nothing, why haven't you mentioned him?"
