Paula

Today, I will not go to the restaurant as my head is killing me. I should not have drank that much. It made me do and say things that I should not have and now I am filled with regret. And that feelin is the worst. What happened yesterday with Dante was just……... God! ! What we both said to each other. I don't know if it was right but I don't regret having done it.

“Are you awake little sister?”  Katy pokes her head in the door

"Princess, come in,"  I answer and she rush in before throwing herself on my bed. She begins to give her tender kisses and this is what I love the most about her. She is very affectionate.

“What fun! Today you will finally stay with me after a long time, Paula,” Her little eyes shine. I never want to leave her alone for so long but I must work to survive.

"I know, Katy. But you know, it's because we need the money, however, today I couldn't get up to go to work," I confessed, covering my face with the sheet. Katy raises her eyebrows several times.

"And tell me, have you already gotten a prince charming?"  I laugh out loud.

”What things do you say, Katy? No, I did not get a prince charming, but today I have to meet someone.”

“Paula!”  Katy squeals excitedly and I cover my face with the sheet again.

"Tell me, tell me who he is?" she asks, excitedly.

"He is just a friend, Katy," I answer, feeling my face burn.

"Hmm, a friend? And will you go out on a date?” she asks.

I press my lips together, “Aha, yeah.”

“And why are you blushing?” I let out a laugh, covering my face.

“I don't know, Katy, what it is. I think I like him.” I confess shyly, remembering Dante's lips.

“Paula, you finally like someone, big sister, it was about time,” she rolls her eyes.

“I don't want to get my hopes up, Katy. He's a womanizer, who has thousands of women at his feet, and I am very little to him.”

“Never say that again, Paula. You are no small thing. You are the best person in the world and the best sister in the world and he must have seen something in you that is why he invited you over on a date, don't you think?”

“Um.. I think you're right but I better not be delusional. Now, come on, let's make breakfast,” I answer to change the subject.

"Sara already prepared all the breakfast. She just left. She said that she had things to do and then she would come back."

"Ok then let's go have breakfast," I say while getting up, taking Kathy by the hand. She enjoys these moments.

We spent the whole morning together, talking, laughing like we had not done in a long time. Work and Katy's illness had robbed us of our time together. But I am hopeful that my little sister is going to heal and we are going to get out of this.

Suddenly, I hear my phone ring and I run to my room to get it.

I see my friend's name on the screen. “Hi Isa,” she answer calmly.

“Paula, for God's sake, what happened to you? Woman, where did you go?”

"Ahh, just at this time do you care about me and that is how you claim to be my friend?"

She laughs out loud.

"Oh my friend, I just got rid of this hangover. Hours ago, I didn't even know about myself. Tell me what happened to you last night?"

“Guess who brought me home last night,” I grin like a fool.

"Wait, who?" She asks before I hear a moan from the other side, apparently, she tripped or something.

"Isa, are you okay?" I ask when I don't hear anything else.

"Yeah, yeah, I think I forgot there was a ladder here," She laughs. This woman is crazy.

“ Now, tell me who is the lucky one?”

"Mmmm…..Isa, Dante brought me," I answer.

“Why? How? Let's meet, friend. Tell me everything.”
