Myria POV
MYRIA: Elena!!!
I just jumped into the house. Elena appears from her room.
ELENA: Myria, I'm busy streaming, -she looks at me in surprise. -What? You won the lottery?
MYRIA: Almost. I'm going to New York next week.
She looks at me surprised.
ELENA: What?
MYRIA: Yeah. I'm going with Alba, we have some meetings about I don't know what, because since I heard about New York I haven't heard anything else and we're going for 4 days.
ELENA: Oh my God... You and Alba in New York, alone?
'Oh my God, that's right, I hadn't thought of that.'
I get nervous.
MYRIA: It's true.
Elena chuckles.
ELENA: Drama is coming.
MYRIA: Why?
ELENA: You just don't fuck up.
And she goes back to her room.
I'm an idiot. I didn't realize I was going to spend the days with Alba. It's a work trip, but of course, if we're meeting with whoever at most it would be 3 hours a day, what were we going to do for the rest of the day?
'What about the night?'
Well, I'll worry about that next week, now I have to get organized and go shopping. I need clothes.
--
It's the Saturday before we go to New York and we have a party at home. Javier, Arancha, Alicia and Noelia are coming. Also Alba and Rosa. The only one who didn't join us was Isabel who is missing again.
'I hope she's okay.'
Today Elena and I are the hostesses because Noelia's grandma has guests. So I can show my new clothes to my friends.
The first to arrive are Arancha, Alicia and Noelia, who of course come together. We greet and hug each other, Noelia touches our asses.
NOELIA: I missed you, bitches.
MYRIA: Yo, Noelia, hands off, now Elena's caught.
We all laugh.
ALICIA: So you're going to New York. We've been talking all morning in the office about how envious we are.
MYRIA: Well, you're here to talk about envy, you who spend all day at the spa.
They chuckle and agree with me. Although it's true that New York is more worthy of envy.
MYRIA: Come to my room, I gotta show you the stuff I bought for the trip.
ELENA: I'll pass, I've been putting up with her all day showing me the new outfits and now I'd rather stay here.
She lies down on the sofa while the girls follow me.
ARANCHA: Oh my God, I love the blue dress, it's beautiful. Ooh, the yellow one!
MYRIA: Right? I didn't know which one to choose so I took them both.
ARANCHA: I love the way you think, Duangjan.
We chuckled as I showed them the rest of my clothes. We had been there a while when Elena appeared.
ELENA: The others arrived.
Alba, Rosa and Javier were at the door of my room, I hadn't heard the doorbell.
'Another day she's looking stunningly pretty.'
Every night I've been out partying with Alba she's been prettier than the night before, why? I don't know. I just can't get it.
ALICIA: Hey guys. Myria was just showing us the clothes she bought for New York.
ROSA: Wasn't it better to buy clothes there? Shops must be spectacular there.
'It's true, I didn't think about it'.
I noticed Alba wasn't saying anything, she's staring at the side of my bed, at my alarm clock.
'Shit! Alejandra sent her a picture of that damn alarm clock.'
MYRIA: Well, let's go to the living room and see what we're having for dinner tonight.
'You look more nervous than usual. Breathe.'
I push them all out of my room.
NOELIA: Wow, I wanted to try your bed.
She gives me a perverted look.
MYRIA: Noelia!
--
We ordered pizza for dinner while talking about silly things.
When we finished we put music videos on the TV and danced in groups imitating the choreography while we drank. Noelia had brought one of her grandmother's homemade liqueurs and it wasn't long before we were all in that perfect point between not sober but not drunk either, one of my favourite moods. After a while, Arancha thought it was time for a different game and sat us all down on the floor around the living room table. I don't know how I ended up having Alba to my right and that made me nervous. Having Alba around when I drink is never good.
ARANCHA: Let's play Kiss, truth or dare.
We all laughed.
ELENA: No, why do you always want us to play your weird games?
ALICIA: Tonight we all play. All of us.
She looked at us back and forth, Alicia really looked drunk.
NOELIA: Yeah, enough of being so boring, tonight since we're not going out of the house, let's play.
JAVIER: I'm fine with it, I vote yes.
Noelia, Alicia and Arancha also voted yes. The rest of us voted no.
Four to four. We're tied.
JAVIER: I'm the last one to join the group so my vote is worth double.
ELENA: Huh, where does that rule come from?
NOELIA: It's the tie-breaker rule, so that's it, we broke the tie.
In the end we gave in because there was no point in arguing.
ARANCHA: I'll start. Javier, since you're the new guy, you're up. Kiss, truth or dare?
JAVIER: Truth.
Arancha smiled mischievously.
ARANCHA: Would you sleep with any of us?
ROSA: Arancha, please, let's not start so strong.
We all laughed. Javier looked amused.
JAVIER: I don't care - he looked at all of us. -Girls, no offence because you're all beautiful. I don't like girls.
ARANCHA: But not even a little bit of rubbing?
ROSA: Arancha!
Rosa looked shocked and we all laughed.
JAVIER: That would be another truth and the game forces me to just one. Now it's my turn. Shall we go in order? From left to right?
We were all fine with that.
JAVIER: Then it's Noelia's turn on my right. Kiss, truth or dare?
NOELIA: You know I always choose kiss.
She laughed and we all imitated her.
MYRIA: We expected nothing less, Noelia.
NOELIA: Can I choose who to kiss?
JAVIER: No, it has to be the person on your right.
'When it's your turn don't choose kiss.'
Noelia turned to Alicia and smiled. She moved closer to her and they started kissing a little too passionately.
ARANCHA: I wanted too.
When they stopped kissing they started laughing.
NOELIA: I love this game, -she looked at all of us. -You're up, Alicia.
Alicia is sitting on my left, I hope she doesn't pick kiss.
MYRIA: Alicia don't pick kiss.
ALICIA: I choose what I want, do I make you nervous, Myria?
She came up to me flirtatiously, everyone laughed. Well, Alba didn't.
ALICIA: But I'm going to choose dare.
NOELIA: Okay. You have to give a kiss to whoever you want from here.
ELENA: But it's not fair to put kisses on dare.
NOELIA: Yes it's okay, this game is mine.
ROSA: But then dare doesn't make sense, that's already a kiss.
NOELIA: No, because kissing is kissing whoever you have on your right, that dare is for anyone.
ALICIA: I want to kiss Arancha.
Arancha clapped her hands in excitement.
ARANCHA: Yeah, I want that too.
ELENA: Well, OK. But from now on don't put kisses in the dare, otherwise the game won't be funny.
Alicia and Arancha kissed for a while, which seemed like an eternity for the rest of us. We took the opportunity to continue drinking.
MYRIA: This game was an excuse for the girls to make out with each other.
ROSA: As if they needed a game for that.
When they finished we all applauded.
ALBA: Finally, it seemed like you were never going to finish. -she giggled (with the cutest giggle in the world, I have to point out).
ALICIA: Your turn, Myria.
I can't choose kiss. True either, because who knows what they'll ask me... Dare. Now they can't ask me to kiss anyone.
MYRIA: Dare.
ALICIA: Okay.
She stared at me as she thought about what evil she was going to make me do. Noelia came over to say something in her ear and Alicia chuckled.
MYRIA: That's not cool, Noelia.
ALICIA: You have to get in the wardrobe in your room with the person on your right for 10 minutes.
I got nervous.
MYRIA: What? There's no space for two people in my wardrobe. You saw that.
NOELIA: Yes, there is, I did the math.
'What?'
MYRIA: Why were you calculating how many people fit in my wardrobe?
Noelia, Arancha and Alicia giggled as if the three of them knew the answer.
ALICIA: Come on, just do it.
I look at Alba who looks confused, I don't know what her face means, but I don't think she's particularly amused, I'm clearly not. I don't know how my body will react when I'm locked up for ten minutes with Alba stuck to me. Alba gets up.
ALBA: Come on, let's go.
I feel my face heating up. I stand up.
MYRIA: Okay.
NOELIA: Ten minutes, huh. Not a minute less.
ARANCHA: We'll let you know to come out.
Elena and Rosa look at each other like they're talking to their minds, I'd like to know what they're saying to each other.
