“Took you long enough” grumbled Eunice as Luis leaned in to give his big sister a kiss. “We could have gotten here earlier if Omar here wasn’t driving like a Lola”
: Dude, that’s a Mercedes! I can’t just drive it around like it’s a cheap piece of junk!” protested Omar who obviously did not appreciate Luis mocking his driving in front of Eunice. “Ok fine let’s just order food. I got somewhere to go”
“You’re going on a date? Who is it? Don’t tell me it’s this guy?!” pointing to Omar.
“Of course not! No offense Omar but your just not my type” replied Eunice much to the disappointment of Omar. The very thought that some other guy is going to take her out tonight irritates Omar so much that he keeps on glancing to the door, expecting that the mystery guy would enter the crowded cafeteria.
“I bet he doesn’t drive a Mercedes”
“What’s that Omar?”
“Nothing, let’s just order food” replied Omar as he removes the realistic day dream from his head.
“If you have a date, why the hell are you eating dinner with us?” asked Omar as he simultaneously chew spoonful of spaghetti. “First, don’t speak with your mouth full of food, it’s disgusting” “second, I already promised Luis here that we would eat together. You’re the one who’s out of place” finished Eunice that surely embarrassed Omar. He tried to find an ally in Luis but all he saw was his “friend” trying to hide his laughter underneath the table.”
“That’s a really nice thing to say considering your brother has been treating me like a P.A. and a driver all day long”
“Well, you did volunteer” replied Luis in a matter-of – fact type tone suggesting that this embarrassment that Omar is currently enduring is self inflicted.
“This is why I hate going out with you two. You both bring out the devil in each other. Maybe I should write a book about how you two treat me.”
“No ones gonna read it” said Luis
“Why not?”
“Cause you wrote it perhaps?” remarked Eunice
“Ok that’s it! No one insults my writing!” said Omar, his voice showing frustration with the argument he obviously cannot win.
Heheheheh and the two Mariveles just laughed at how frustrated Omar is with the two of them.
“Ok boys, got to go” said Eunice glancing at her watch. It shows 6:47.
“So soon? We haven’t even made Omar cry” remarked Luis earning him a punch in the stomach from Omar.
“You two play nice. Omar, take good care of my brother.”
“You mean your sister?”
“Yeah, my baby sister that just almost made you cry!” shouted Eunice as she stepped out of the cafeteria irritating Omar more by not letting him say the last word.
“Those 2 jackass better not do anything stupid here” said Eunice to herself as she walks the short walkway from the cafeteria to the PGH gates. She can’t stop thinking what it is that is so important that would make Michael ask he to skip work.
Beep..
“Eunice fumbles inside her purse to retrieve her cellphone. She flips it open and reads the msg
She’s awake..:)
