Finally off my shift, I drove myself home and planned to catch up on my agenda.
Call me weird but I find planning soothing. I should've just studied education.
I open my front door. The lights inside are on. I'm going to assume bucket is inside.
I close my door and kick off those awful daddy sneakers.
My phone rings, I rummage through my purse and hit the green button.
"Hola mama" i say in Spanish. My mom knows very basic English. She usually calls me in Spanish. (Hello, mom)
"Mija te hable para invitarte. Que Vero la de tu Tía Mago, va hacer su quinceañera" she says telling me the whole story. It's the basic Mexican mother run down. (Sweetie, I called you to invite you. Vero your aunt Mago's daughter is going to have a quinceañera)
"Ah apoco ya va cumplir 15?" I ask confused. I thought this bitch was 12. (Really? She's going to be 15?)
"Si ya, pero te quería avisar que le dije a tu tía macho que podía hacer la fiesta en tu casa. Acabo tienes mucho espacio." She says shrugging it off. I pinch the bridge of my nose. (Yeah, but I called you to inform. you that I told your tia she could have the party at your place. You have the room anyways)
"Si pero afuera porque luego me hacen un cochinero aquí" i say strictly. (It's fine but it has to be outside because they'll leave a mess here)
"Ándale pues. Es para el sábado que viene. Yo te llego el viernes" she says. (Ok then. I'll arrive on Friday and the party is on Sunday)
"Si esta bien. Adiós mama" i say shutting the call off. (Yes ok, bye mom)
"You speak Spanish?" I hear from
Behind me making me jump to see Jesus himself.
"AHH!" I yell. I realize it's Bucky and I calm down
"Hijo de tu puta madre!" I yell smacking his shoulder aggressively. "Cuantas pinches veces te tengo que fregar con la misa chingadera?!" (Son of bitch! How May fucking time do I have to tell you to not do the Same fucking shit?"
"Haha, I don't speak Spanish" he says sarcastically.
"You know what it meant!" I say narrowing my eyes on him.
"Weirdly I did" he says. "I was waiting to tell you we we're heading to Germany tomorrow"
"You and Sam?" I ask.
"Yeah, I think we can get someone to talk" he says giving me the inside scoop.
"Sounds like a lot of work" I say "I'm out"
"I wasn't planning to take you" he says knowingly.
"Good" I say "last time I tagged along I was racially profiled and insulted by a psychiatrist" I say scoffing.
"Not to freaking mention the pilot I talked to on the plane was gay!" I say finishing my rant. "Not that I have anything against gay people but he was cute and a pilot"
"Why is that important?" Bucky asks.
I start to head upstairs he follows me. "I'm gonna paraphrase Monroe for you. Marrying a rich man is like marrying a pretty girl. You don't marry a chick just because she's cutie but doesn't help?"
"What?" He says confused. "That doesn't make sense"
"Yeah it does" I say scoffing. I walk into my closet and change into my pjs.
I notice Bucky hanged up his stuff in my closet. I open a drawers and find his shirts pants shoes.
This man completely just moved in. Weird thing is I don't really mind.
Bucky is sitting on the bed when I come out. "So you only date men if the man is rich?"
"No, I'm not shallow" I say "I'm just joking don't take it too serious"
"I just like to joke about having a sugar daddy" I say. "I was once a sugar baby. How do you think I paid for med school?"
His eyes widen. I shove him laughing. "I'm kidding, god you're so gullible"
"I'm not gullible" he retorts. The door bell rings before I can answer.
I walk in my looney tunes fluffy socks down stairs and get the door.
"Why did we knock?" Aj says bursting through the door.
"It's rude to enter a house without knocking" Sam yells at his retreating figure.
"It's aunt margo" cass says.
Cass does the Same slipping inside along with Sarah that's holding a Casserole.
I motion Sam inside. "These people have NO MANNERS" he yells the last part. He shuts the door while I just stand there waiting for them to come in.
"You're just gonna let them slip through?" Sam says.
"Yeah, Sarah went house hunting with me. That gives her automatic access" I say.
Bucky comes downstairs. "What's going on?"
"Whoa whoa whoa" Sam says looking at Bucky. "I thought I left you at your hotel"
"I had a car" Bucky says defensively. I grab a fork from my kitchen and taste the food.
"Dios mío cuánto tiempo sin ti" i say looking at the casserole lovingly. (Oh god how much time without you)
Sarah smacks my fork away and sets the table up while rummaging through my spice cabinets.
"I knew it you stole a Jeep? I knew I shouldn't have trusted you" Sam says at Bucky.
Bucky hangs the keys on the key hanger on the wall. "It was borrowed?"
"You own a Jeep two?" Sam says. "Oh you mean the black Jeep?"
"Yeah" he replies.
"Yeah I bought that. I go to the mountains often" I reply. "Need a 4x4 to get up there"
"And you're just gonna let him crash here?" Sam asks in disbelief.
"Yeah" I reply "can we eat already?" I whine.
A splash is heard from the backyard. "I told them not to get in!" Sarah says in parenting mode.
I turn the pool lights on with the iPad on the wall. "Yeah they didn't care"
"You have a trampoline?" Sam say.
"I built a trampoline" I say proudly. "The kiddos wanted a trampoline. So I called a guy that embeds them into the ground. Making it more modern"
"Spoiled my nephews are spoiled" Sam says shaking his head in disapproval.
I walk over to the door and slide it open. I grab the tub of water toys and bring it to the edge of the pool.
"You're mother is pissed" I say amused.
"Can't catch me here" aj says smirking. I smirk back and head inside.
