“Hey mamá, papá, I'm going to the town outside the mountain.” Isa told her parents.
What they didn't know was that she was going to a bar.
—------------
“Give me your finest beer.” Isa ordered.
An hour later.
Isa:
“Now, (smirks) this is where I'm meant to be.”
“You know, it's been such a long time since I've been out on my own.”
“Bittersweet to be so free and so alone…”
“It kinda feels like the wrong time to feel sorry for myself.”
“Makes you wanna drink ‘till you feel like you are someone else.”
Isa orders another bottle.
“Then another, then another and another!”
“And another and another!”
Girls:
“Love in a bottle, love in a bottle~”
“Don't need love when it comes in a bottle!”
“Strut when you're bluffin’, double or nothin’”
Isa laughs.
“Lap it up, laugh it up, la, la, la, la, la~”
Isa:
“Get the top shelf, double rocks, pour the scotch!”
“I've missed the tune of tumblrs clinking…”
“Deal me in, kick the sin up a notch.”
“Divin’ in quicksand's faster than sinkin’”
“I'm leavin’ behind all of the cares that I've been overthinkin’”
“Find friends in my wine.”
“Stay unaware's just as long as I'm drinking!”
“Love in a bottle, love in a bottle!”
“Don't need love when it comes in a bottle!”
“Strut when you're bluffin’, double or nothin’”
“Lap it up, laugh it up, la, la, la, la, la~”
“Love… is in the ice of the beholder(love~)”
“Gin never lies or fucks you over~(love~)”
“It goes down the same every time.(love~)”
“You need someone to hand your chips.”
“Go all in and abandoned ship.”
“You're jumpin’ for the water, and it's all a hundred proof~”
“Love in a bottle,love in a bottle.”
“Don't need love when it comes in a bottle!”
“Strut when you're bluffin’, double or nothin’”
“Lap it up, laugh it up, la, la, la, la, la~”
“Love in a bottle, love in a bottle.”
“Can't have love when it comes in a bottle…”
“Home in a bottle, numb in a bottle…”
“I don't need nothing! That's not from a bottle!”
“Another round!(already drunk)”
—--------------
Isa opened her eyes.
Ugh, my head, the fuck happened last night?
Isa thought.
I got drunk and….
Isa looked to the side.
It was a girl, who didn't seem to have anything on at the moment.
¿Qué carajo? ¿Me relacioné con algún extraño?
Isa had a blush on her face.
“Ugh, you think too loud.” The girl cuddled closer to Isa.
“Um… excuse me, can you tell me where I am and your name?” Isa asked.
“Chill, estás en mi casa y mi nombre es Valentina” The brunette answered.
“How did I even get here? And where are our clothes?” Isa was handed what she wore the previous day and got dressed as Valentina did the same.
“We were both drunk and wanted to blow off some steam so we hooked up.” Valentina answered.
Isa tilted her head in confusion.
“¿Estás bien?” Valentina asked.
“What does hooked up mean?” Isa asked.
“Doing intimate stuff with people you aren't in a romantic committed relationship with.” Valentina explained.
“What!? Does that mean we have to get married!? I already told Abuela I didn't want to marry Mariano or anybody for that matter…” Isa was freaking out.
“Hey, cálmate, we don't have to get married besides… we just met, how about I give you my number so that we stay in touch?” Valentina suggested and Isa agreed.
—----------------
“Gracias por el desayuno” Isa smiled.
She took out her phone and saw a text from Mirabel.
Mimi: where are you? Mamá, Papá and Luisa are worried, Dolores said… you were in a bar singing but she only told me so you're fine, you have to make it up to Mamá, Papá and Lulu though…
Isa: Tell them I'm coming.
“Sorry about this, but I must go since my parents and hermanitas are worried, thanks for having me.” Isa smiled.
“I had fun hanging out.” Valentina replied.
—-----------------
“Thank goodness! I was worried!” Julieta hugged her eldest very tightly.
“Estoy bien mamá” Isa hugged back before she was pulled in a massive hug by Luisa who had tear stains on her face.
“Oh, Lu… you know what you need?” Isa started.
“W-what?” Luisa sniffles.
“A story to cheer you up!” Isa softly smiled.
“I don't wanna let you down though.” Luisa pouted.
“It’s okay, just follow my directions.” Isa replied.
Luisa smiled and also picked up Mirabel.
