Eres Mía

~ 18 ~

Once pizza was eaten and movies were finished, I headed home to get some rest and do some work.

The drive to my apartment usually took 20 minutes  but I decided to take the longer route so I could be alone with my feelings. 

I got to my apartment, then unlocked the door and went in. I put away some of the extra candy I had then went to grab my laptop from my bedroom.

I took it back to the kitchen island and opened it to start my work. I skimmed through my emails and replied to any of the important ones then I began to write my article.

After a paragraph or so, I stopped to make my self some coffee. I shouldn't be doing this, I thought as I mentally cursed myself.

I drank my coffee and continued writing. 2 hours later, I was finished. I proofread it then emailed it to Andrew as it was only 11pm and he was probably still awake.

A notif popped up on my laptop and it said that Andrew had emailed back.

"Great job Lucía!! What would've really tied this article together, in my opinion, would be the daughter's name. If you can get that into the article, send it off to Chloe and she'll get it ready for the next magazine. Okay?"

I sat there, thinking about whether I should tell him. My phone started to vibrate so I picked up without checking the caller ID.

"Buongiorno piccola, why are you up?"

"It's already morning, wow. I was just working on an article for work. Is everything okay Papa?"

"I heard that Lorenzo asked you to be his partner at the ball," he told me.

"Yes he did. Is there anything happening at the ball?"

"Well mija it's a mafia ball, so some of our allies will be there. I just wanted to make sure you will be comfortable going."

"Papa that's okay. I'll be fine."

"Grande. I'll see you tomorrow then; get some rest please mi amor." [translation: great]

"I'll try. Send my love to Mamí as well. Buon anotte Papa." [translation: good night Papa]

"Buon anotte bella."
[translation: good night beautiful]

I hung up and set my phone down. Sighing, I went to my room, completed my night care routine, then went to sleep.

8:00am

I stretched my arms out as I sat up in bed. Today I had to go into the office and hand in the article, as well as having the ball later this evening.

I quickly got ready and decided to take my car to work. I stopped at a Starbucks with the need for an iced coffee.

"I say my face bomb, ass right. Racks stack up Shaq height. Jewellery on me, flashlight; I been lit since last night." I mumbled as I walked into the busy coffee shop.

"Hi welcome to Starbucks, what can I get ya?"

"Can I get a Coffee Frappuccino? Size small please." I told her.

She nodded and I handed her the money.

I got my drink and strolled to work where I found Andrew sitting at my desk.
