Jamie was starting to fall asleep when she heard some music coming from outside. She got up and went to the front door to see if she could figure out where it was coming from. She opened the door and walked outside and saw AJ with a mariachi band behind him. She stayed quiet so that they wouldn’t know she was out there. She saw that Olivia was out on her balcony with a really confused look on her face.
AJ staggered forward a little bit. “Olivia, donde esta tus pantelones?”
Now it was obvious that he was drunk. AJ wasn’t this cheesy. And he didn’t even know Spanish. Someone must have tricked him into thinking he was saying some pretty smooth lines. He wasn’t. Olivia knew Spanish very well so she completely understood what he was saying.
“AJ you just said, ‘Where are your pants.’”
By now Jamie was on the ground laughing. She too knew Spanish and the whole mariachi band thing just made it even better. She made her presence known but didn’t care. It was too funny.
“Mi llama es muy guapo.” Said AJ.
Jamie busted out laughing again. AJ looked toward her and said, “What did I just say?”
“You said my llama is very handsome.” She said in between fits of laughter.
“Mi serpiente es muy feo y peqieno.”
“My snake is very ugly and small.” Jamie laughed.
“AJ just speak English will you” said Olivia. She wasn’t finding much of this funny.
“All right all right.” AJ said. “There’s something that I’ve been wanting to ask you.”
“He wants to ask you.” Sang the mariachi band.
“Donde esta mi perro?”
“You’re dog is at home.” She answered. Jamie laughed even harder.
“I’m going to wet myself.” She said. “Air! Must breath.”
“Will you shut up?” Olivia said. She looked down at AJ. “What is this all about?”
“Ok I won’t speak any more Spanish.”
“No more Spanish.” Sang the mariachi band.
He tossed the dead rose up to her and she caught it.
“Olivia, will you marry me.” He asked.
Jamie stopped laughing for a minute to hear what she had to say.
“AJ you’re drunk. You brought a mariachi band out here at 11:00 at night. The neighbors are going to call the police any minute now. You bring me a dead rose, and you start saying weird things in Spanish. I don’t know who put you up to this, but it’s not all the funny.” She looked over at Jamie who was trying her hardest not to laugh.
“Don’t look at me it wasn’t me.” She said. She couldn’t help herself, and she started laughing again. Olivia looked back at AJ.
“Thanks for the dead rose.” She said softly and dropped it off the balcony. She then went back inside.
“Olivia es el mono. El mono es mi amor!” he yelled.
“You just said that Olivia is a monkey and the monkey is your love!” laughed Jamie.
She shook her head as she found her car keys. Then she walked outside to her truck. She saw something jump out of a nearby tree. She looked harder and saw that it was Howie.
“Jerk.” She said to herself.
Jamie was still lying on the ground. “Where are you going?” she asked.
Olivia didn’t answer and got in her truck and started driving toward Brian’s house.
“Someone’s in trouble now.” Jamie said as Howie and AJ made there way over toward her.
“What did I do wrong?” asked AJ.
“When you sober up you’ll figure it out.” She answered. “Nice touch with the mariachi band.” After that Jamie got up and went back inside while Howie took AJ home.
When Jamie got inside, the phone rang, it was Kevin.
"Hey, baby." He said.
"Hi." She said between laughs.
"What's so funny?"
"I have 5 words for you, AJ, Jack Daniels, and mariachi band."
"Oh no, what did he do?" Jamie explained what had happened in the last 15 minutes.
"No wonder Liv's pissed. Why was Howie there?"
"I have no clue." She thought for a second, "Wait, AJ was speaking Spanish, but he
doesn't know Spanish. Howie on the other hand, knows a little Spanish, so maybe he was
telling him what to say."
"If he did do that, he should run far, and fast."
"And another thing, I have never seen AJ so wasted. He's going to have no idea what
happened, and why Liv is mad."
"We should tell him. Come over here around noon, and we'll go talk to him."
"Ok, I'll see you then. Bye, I love you."
"I love you too, bye."
~Chapter 54~
*At Brian's house*
"Liv, I didn't expect to see you tonight." Brian said when he answered the door.
"Well, I didn't expect to be humiliated by my boyfriend either." She said.
Brian moved aside to let her inside and closed the door.
“What did he do now?” he asked. They walked into the living room and sat down. He listened as she told her story of the past event.
“Well.” Was all he had to say.
“Yeah.” Said Olivia.
“He’s gonna have a lot of fast talking to now isn’t he?”
“Yeah.” Olivia said again. “And I just love how Jamie sat there laughing.”
“Oh come on Liv you know you would have done the same thing.” Said Brian.
“That’s beside the point.” She scowled.
“And what is the point?”
“I don’t know.”
“That would have been interesting to see him with a mariachi band and a dead rose. He is never that cheesy. Alcohol can really change a guy I guess.”
“Yeah I’d say so.” They stopped talking after than and watched some TV for awhile. After about an hour Olivia had fallen asleep. Brian didn’t want to wake her so he found a blanket and covered her up and went to bed himself.
The next day Jamie went over to Kevin’s house just has she had planned to do. Sad as it sounds she was kind of looking forward to seeing how bad his hangover. And he deserved a bad one.
“AJ, AJ you home?” Jamie asked as she and Kevin walked into AJ’s house. They walked around looking for him, and eventually found him in the living room.
“Look at him, he has no idea what happened last night.” Jamie said. She shook him gently to get him up.
“What?” AJ groaned.
“Morning.” Kevin said.
“Oh God.” AJ turned over and tried to fall back asleep.
“Listen, if you love Liv, then I would stay awake for a little while.” Jamie said.
“What are you talking about?”
“I told you he wouldn’t remember anything.” Jamie explained everything in detail.
“El mono es mi amor. What does that mean?” AJ asked.
“The monkey is my love.” Jamie said trying not to laugh.
“So what did Liv say about this?”
“Not much, all she did was drive away after yelling at you.”
“Oh, so nothing too bad.”
“Yeah, so we should go, so you can figure out what to do to save your butt.” Kevin said as he and Jamie headed for the door.
“And might I suggest that if you go with flowers, make sure that they’re alive, and the music should be American.” Jamie said.
“Thanks for the advice.” AJ said.
Kevin and Jamie left while AJ fell asleep again. He was definitely going to fix things with Olivia but he had to get rid of his hangover before he did a thing.
~Chapter 55~
Olivia woke up to the sound of clanging dishes in the kitchen. She got up and stretched and walked to the kitchen to find that Brian had made breakfast.
“Oh my god he cooks.” She said.
Brian looked over his shoulder to see her standing in the doorway.
“Yes. I thought that it might make you feel a little better. Or give you a heart attack, which ever comes first.”
“Oh so either make me better or make me worse. I see.” She made her way to the table and sat down. “So what did the great Chef Brian make this morning?”
“Well let’s see I was going to make waffles and I started to do that and then I got sidetracked and they burnt. So I made pancakes.”
“I don’t know how you can manage to burn waffles.”
“I burn almost everything.”
He set down a plate in front of her and grabbed his and sat down at the table across from her.
“Well this doesn’t look half bad.” She said.
“Well this is one of the things I can actually make.”
They ate while talking about anything that wasn’t related to AJ. After they ate she left so she could get some clean clothes.
“Well I didn’t think you were going to come back again.” Jamie said as Olivia walked in the door.
“Yeah well I did.”
“So where did you go last night after that lovely display we had?”
“Don’t remind me about that. And don’t even think about saying that guy’s name today. I went to Brian’s if you have to know.”
“Don’t worry about he-who-must-not-be-named, he has the worst ever hangover right now.”
“Good, he deserves it. And you, you were not of much help. Did you really have to laugh that hard?”
“Yes, and give me a break, you would have done the same thing.”
“So that’s not the point.”
“Then what is?”
“I don’t know. God, that was horrible last night.” Olivia sat down on the couch with a sigh.
“Just think of it this way, AJ’s going to feel so guilty for what he did. You know that he always is. Now this time he totally messed up, that means he’s going to stop at nothing to make you happy again. And once you start talking to him again, the two of you can figure out a way to get back at Howie.”
“What you say is true my fine optimistic friend.”
“Hey I’m always right.”
“Don’t push it.”
~Chapter 56~
The next day after Olivia had gotten home from work she went to her room to get some sleep. She had been so tired lately. When she opened the door she saw that her room was filled with flowers.
“At least these aren’t dead.” She said to herself.
She found a card buried in a bouquet of flowers closest to the door. Before she could open it she heard the door shut downstairs.
“Hey Liv! Where are ya?” Jamie yelled.
“I’m in my room!” she replied.
She heard Jamie run up the stairs.
“Geez what is that smell? It’s really strong.” When she made her way to Olivia’s room she saw all the flowers.
“And when were you going to tell me that you were going to run your own floral shop?” she joked. “Nothing says I’m sorry like sending a room full of flowers.”
“Yeah.” Said Olivia not paying attention to Jamie’s comments. She was reading the card.
“What does the card say?” Jamie asked.
“Nothing.” Replied Olivia. She put it back in the envelope and put it in her back pocket.
“You’re nothing going to tell your bestest friend?” Jamie asked making a sad face.
“Nope.” Said Olivia. “There’s nothing to tell.”
“And do you think I’m going to buy that?”
“You don’t have to.”
“Ok then I’m not.”
“Ok.” Olivia walked out of her room and down the stairs to the kitchen and Jamie came down behind her. Kevin walked in the door as if on cue just as they were both down the stairs.
“Hey Kevin. Nice you see you knock.” Said Olivia.
“Sorry.”
“What’s up?” Jamie asked giving him a kiss.
“Oh the usual. Just wanted to see you.” He answered.
“Nice to see you too Kevin.” Olivia said while looking through the fridge to find a soda.
“I know.” He joked. He turned back to Jamie. “Oh you know the church we wanted to get married in?”
“Yeah what about it?”
“Well the only time we can get in it is August 15 of next year so I took it.”
“Sounds good. I can’t believe we’re getting married.” Jamie said kissing Kevin.
“Oh please.” They heard Olivia say. “Marriage is one big pile of……..well it just sucks.” Olivia had a loss of words and Kevin and Jamie just stood there looking at her funny.
“Well you didn’t think that last week. Two days ago even.”
“Yeah well you have Kevin bring a mariachi band around playing god knows what and saying weird things in Spanish.” Olivia smirked.
“Hey what was that?” Jamie asked pointing at her.
“What was what?”
“I saw something move in the bushes.”
“I think that’s Olivia’s lover boy running from the house.” Kevin said.
“Yeah, he should be running.” Olivia answered.
“Still sour Liv?”
“Gee, how’d you guess.”
“I’m smart, that’s how.”
“Ok, I have to get out of this house, that flower smell is too strong for me.” Jamie said. She and Kevin started to walk to the door, when Jamie turned to Olivia and said, “I’ll be back later, promise me that you won’t go on a killing rampage without me.”
“Ok, bye you two.” Once they left she, ran upstairs and started to get ready for that night.
