SHE'S MINE || DIEGO LAINEZ

chapter nine!

i woke up the next morning with my lights still on blue and it was foggy outside. I checked the time and it read 5:33.

" fuck its early. "  i closed my eyes and tried to fall back asleep but couldn't, diego's message kept replaying in my head over and over again.

does he really like me?  does he really feel this ' love ' for me? why hasn't he said it sooner? so many things going through my head but my head focuses on him.

i go onto my phone and see that i have some messages from diego.

" i love you y/n i really do. you had me falling at the knees when memo first brought you around us. you are the girl i want. " read one of them.

" i wish you felt what i feel for you. "
read another.

he's just drunk he'll regret it when he wakes up.

i put my phone down and admired how pretty it looked, foggy and dark. i laid in my bed warm and thinking about diego. I eventually fell asleep.

when i woke up again i got up to stretch and picked up my phone to check the time that read 10:03. it was still foggy and a bit dark, i love days like these.

i went into my bathroom and brushed my teeth, making sure toothpaste doesn't get onto my sweater. i brushed till the toothpaste became more of a liquid and then went onto my tongue, basically scrubbing it till i felt satisfied.

i went back into my room and put on my slides and walked downstairs to the living room, sitting down and turning on the tv to watch something on netflix. I was scrolling on it till i saw Superbad.

" mclovin ! " i pressed on it and started watching when i heard light footsteps coming from the stairs, i turn around to see guillermo.

" ain't it a bit early for you to be up- plus shouldnt you be at school?! "  i raised my eyebrow

" should've, would've, could've, but i couldn't " ok dr seus.

" boa get your ass back here "
he's funny but it's a bit early for his smart shit.

" i didnt go because i slept in "

" you could've asked me to take  you "  i should stop because i know if i was 8 years old i would've started throwing hands.

" with your driving skills? no grassyass " he walked away and started going back up the stairs.

" you're so funny. " that honestly kind of hurt my feelings.

Memo woke up and when he saw that Guillermo stayed home...

" que cojones guillermo ¿Hablas en serio en este momento? Te perdiste la escuela solo porque querías dormir un poco más. Esa no es una maldita excusa. " Memo was mad and it was kind of scary because he's always calm and patient.

" pero papá! odio la escuela solo queria dormir mas " guillermo knew he fucked up but just kept going.

once they were done arguing memo called me into the kitchen.

" quieres hacer waffles? " he asked

" yes!! " i love waffles. something about them just makes them better than pancakes.

" saca la nutella, las fresas y la masa para panqueques porfavor "
he started prepping the bowls and the eggs.

while the waffles were cooking he brought up our mom

" mamá dijo que papá no está bien y que está muy enfermo, así que voy a volar allí mañana con karla, ¿puedes cuidar a los niños mientras no estamos? te pago 40 dolares al dia " he wiped his forehead.
