It all started about two months ago. I was teaching my lesson on the conjugation of "estar" when I heard a knock at my door. I don't like when people interrupt my lesson, I lose my focus on what I'm doing. I walk to the door to open it when I see a man in red uniform that I've never seen before.
"Buenos diás quieres un cafe con leche"
"Oh sí gracias"
"De nada" and just like that he was out. He walked out looking like a superhero. A superhero that just saved the day by giving me coffee. It happened so fast I couldn't even grasp what he looked like.
I continue teaching until the bell rings. I sit at my desk and finish grading papers before I pack up all my things to leave. I turn off the lights and open the door. That's when I see the same guy in the red uniform. Sitting outside of my room.
"Hola" he says seductively.
"Hi how are you"
"You going home already?" He chuckles.
"Yeah it's been a long day"
"Oh I know. But I was wondering do you wanna do something tonight maybe. I know it's really forward but it seems like you need a night out."
"Well I was gonna go home"
"It'll be fun I promise" he says with a wink.
"Alright fine. And I'm sorry I never got your name"
"Enrique"
That's how it all started. So how did it end up like this.
I go home to change for a night out. I see my wife cooking dinner.
"How was work David"
"It was good I'm gonna go out for a drink with a coworker"
"Okay do you wanna eat dinner first"
"Sure what'd you make"
"Arroz con pollo"
Her food usually sucks but I support her cause she trying.
"How do you like it?"
"It's amazing"
It tastes like someone jizzed in this rice.
I go upstairs and get changed into a plain button down and jeans. I spray myself with some axe cause that's what guys usually put on I think. I take a hit of my juul. This is just one of the things my wife doesn't know about. It gets me through the day and I only do it when I'm stressed out.
I get into my red Porsche and speed with the windows down like I usually do.
I hear some Marc Anthony playing on the radio. You know I gotta turn it up.
AHORA QUIEN SÍ NO SOY YO
This is my jam right here. I pull up to the bar that Enrique said he was gonna be. It's a bar called Beer and Fear. I've never been but apparently they have some beer that gets you crazy.
I see Enrique sitting at a barstool, that's when my heart stops. I walk up to him and sit in the seat next to him.
"Glad you can make it" he nearly shouts because the music is blasting in this place.
"Yeah I needed a night out"
"Let me buy you a drink"
"No you don't need to—"
"I insist"
He calls the bartender over.
"Let me get a sex on the beach for my friend here"
I look at him and smile.
"So do you have any hobbies besides grading papers?" He jokes.
I chuckle. "I like golfing"
"Oh that's pretty cool I've never played before"
"Yeah maybe I can show you sometime"
"I'd like that" he says smiling and showing all of his pearly white teeth.
I finish the drink that Enrique ordered for me. Well the last three drinks that he ordered for me. Enrique had about five beers. We're both hammered right now.
"It's getting kinda late I should probably get going" I say.
"Yeah you're right"
"Do you need a ride?"
"My friends are coming to pick me up. Actually I want you to meet them"
We walk outside to the breeze of cold air on a dark night. Enrique seems like a very social person so I'm not surprised he has friends to pick him up at all times.
I see something in the street. It doesn't look like a car. But it also kinda does. It's a white mini van. It parks right in front of us. I hear them blasting Bad Bunny.
"David these are my friends Tito, Hector, and Spick."
"What's up man" I hear one of them say to me.
"Where you headed?" I hear another one say.
"Oh I was about to go home" I say stretching my arms and yawning to make it look like I'm tired.
"Oh come on grandpa you should chill for a little while longer"
"Yeah bro the night is still young"
"Alright alright I'll stay" I say.
"Ayeee" they all say cheering.
"Hop in we're gonna take a ride"
I get in the van and sit in the middle next to Tito and Hector. I can instantly smell the weed they're smoking.
"So papi you live around here"
"Yeah I'm I live like five minutes away"
"That's cool, we from Hialeah it's not as suburban as it is over here"
"Yeah I've got some family that lives over there"
I'm not sure where they're driving but it's taking a while to get there because we've been driving for twenty minutes. It's almost 11 and I still have work tomorrow. Plus I'm really tired and all I wanna do is go home and sleep. I close for my eyes for a little. Finally I can get some rest. I feel something touch my thigh. Now it's moving up. I open my eyes and see Tito unzipping my pants.
"Just let it happen papi"
This shouldn't be happening right now.
