“I take it that was your mom?” Alex dicho as she stepped into the room. Marissa looked up from staring at the floor, having not noticed Alex standing there earlier.
“How’d tu guess?” Marissa dicho as she went back to staring at the floor. Alex just shrugged and grabbed the escoba that was leaning against the wall. She began to sweep up the broken glass when Marissa quickly got out of her asiento to help her.
“Here, it’s my fault, I’ll do it.” Marissa dicho as she grabbed the dustpan from behind the door.
“No it’s okay, I got it and besides from what I just heard, it sounds like tu could use a break.”
“Thanks.” Marissa whispered as she went to go lay back down on the couch. She wrapped herself in the blanket once más and turned her back towards the rest of the room.
“Hey, I brought tu a towel for your head.” Alex dicho as she held up a dampened cloth. Marissa turned back around to face Alex, and smiled at the gesture.
“Thanks again” she dicho as Alex walked over to her and laid the towel gently on her forehead.
“No prob.” Alex dicho as she went and dumped the dustpan full of glass into the trash can.
“Hey since I don’t feel like sleeping at Kevin’s tonight and I really do not want to go inicial and see my mom, can I crash at your place?” Marissa asked, almost pleadingly
“Sure.” Alex dicho without giving it a second’s thought. *Okay so Kevin bailed on the poor girl to go get high and she definitely doesn’t seem to be on good terms with her old lady so why not give her a place to crash.* Alex thought as she wiped up the spilt cerveza on the floor with a rag.
“Soo...what time do tu get off?” Marissa asked curiously
“Tonight...around ten-ish, I think. It depends on how busy we are, and right now it looks like I’m going to be here a while.” Alex dicho as a voice yelled through the office door.
“Alex! We need tu because the bar is really backed up so stop messing around with your girl and get out here.”
Marissa and Alex stared at one another and then back at the door, neither of them saying a thing. The two of them spoke almost simultaneously,
“My girl?” (Alex)
“Your girl?” (Marissa)
They glanced at each other once más before Alex interrupted the silence,
“I better get back to work.” and then she left.
Marissa leaned against the couch, *Hm...that was awkward, my life couldn’t get más complicated than this, Kevin, and now Hailey, well I’m in for one hell of a week.* Marissa got off the sofá and left Alex’s office for the first time that night, looking for a drink. She pushed her way up to the bar to order a drink, she was greeted por the girl Alex called Mandy. Before Marissa even ordered, Mandy asked
“Are tu 21?”
“Nope, but I could really use a drink”
“Sorry, can’t help you.”
“Please...I’ve had a really bad day, come on, cut me some slack.”
“Well so have I, but tu don’t see me complaining.”
Marissa frowned as she took a asiento at the crowded bar just as Alex walked over.
“Why the long face?” Alex asked as she gently lifted Marissa’s face por her chin. Marissa looked up to see Alex with a slightly worried expression.
“How’d tu guess?” Marissa dicho as she went back to staring at the floor. Alex just shrugged and grabbed the escoba that was leaning against the wall. She began to sweep up the broken glass when Marissa quickly got out of her asiento to help her.
