Bubbles and Wine

Valeria's pov

When the Uber arrived and dropped me home, the first thing I do is prepare a warm bubble bath and get a glass and bottle of cheap wine we have in the cabinet inside of the kitchen, why do I feel so used...HE'S A FUCKEN ASSHOLE! I sigh heavily, I head inside the bathroom and place the wine and glass down beside the tub and check the water temperature it is warm, I strip out of my clothes and slowly slide into the tub savouring how good the warm water and bubbles feel on my body. I open up the wine and pour some into the glass, I take a sip of wine closing my eyes, and rest my head against the back of the tub "need some company" Vic says, I open my eyes and see vi standing at the frame of the bathroom door with a glass along with a box of chocolate in her. this is another thing we did when we were in college. when the either one of us is upset about something we always have a bubble bath and tells each other about it meaning I have seen my best friend naked on multiple occasions...who hasn't seen there best friend naked before!? any who it makes me happy to know she still remembers or cared "some company would be nice," I say looking at her, that's all she needed to hear before she stripped out of her clothes and slid into the tub beside me.

"I brought chocolate so it can be just like old times," she says with a smile "yeah just like old times," I say looking at her, she opened up the chocolate and I poured a glass of wine for her and hand it to her "thanks," she says " no problem," I say wiggling in the water "sooo....what happened?" she asks popping chocolate in her mouth, well here goes nothing hope I don't cry " we slept together last night and this morning it's like something switched in his head and he basically told me that it shouldn't have happened," I say popping chocolate in my mouth and VIC just rolls her eyes "dick move," she says before taking a sip of wine " tell me about it, ill be fine though I'm used to this kind of thing, you know what Gavin was like with me, he would always used me then discard me like trash," I say picking up the wine bottle and fulling my glass again " I know babe but does Lorenzo know what Gavin did to you? does he know who he is ? or what he does for a living? do you know what Lorenzo does for a living?, and I'm sorry I forced you to stay earlier I should've known something was up" she says, I know she is right I mean Lorenzo knows Gavin which means he knows about the mafia but does he know I'm the Queen of the Russian mafia or that I already know his mother and father or that I'm on the run from Gavin because of what he has done to me, maybe i should talk to maria and Leo to see what they think since they are the ones that helped me get away from Gavin, "its okay you wanted me to eat so don't beat yourself up over it, but hey did you see the look on maria and Leos faces when they saw me" i say with a small laugh " yeah i did, are you going to talk to them, they did help you and well since you know what kind of work they do, it means they boys do it do" she says rubbing her chin "yeah im going to talk to them about everything, they did ask me a while go to go see them and chat, i might do that today" i say looking a Vic knowing that its going to be hard to talk about "love you val" she says getting out of the vath and handing me a towel "love you too Vic, so you and Carlos eh?" i say as she lifts her head up and looks at me and i just wiggle my eyebrows at her. "yeah i feel drawn to him you know, and the sex is just whew" she says with a wave of her hand and getting all hot and bothered "well im happy for you boo" i say with a laugh and getting out of the bath "yeah... don't worry babe, MR. Right is somewhere waiting for you" she says with a giggle " I know" I say giving her a small smile, and walk out of the bathroom and get into some clothes.

I grab my phone to message maria to see when she is free to have a chat

TEXT CONVERSATION

VALERIA: hello mama its Val sorry about this morning I didn't even know that Lorenzo and Carlos are your sons and that I didn't say that I already knew you, I didn't know what you wanted me to say.

MARIA: darling, don't worry about it, and yes they are my boys who seem to have become pussy if I don't say so myself, I'm sorry for what Lorenzo did to you baby I know it's hard but he doesn't know what happened to you

VALERIA: I was wondering if we can meet and have a chat even if it's on Monday while I'm at his house with Xenia?

MARIA: darling I would be happy to, you know I would always make time for you sweetheart, ill bring Leo with me I'm sure he would love to have a chat with you

VALERIA: okay that is fine, I will be at the house at 9 am. see you both then

MARIA: see you that baby

I place my phone on my bed and leave the bedroom. the rest of our day is spent with us ordering fast food, eating junk food, and watching movies all the good stuff. it's now 10 pm and the movie we are watching just ended, Victoria lets out a small yawn "tired?" I ask looking ta her, she nods her head "okay lets go to sleep i say as I turn the TV off and head to my bed "wait for me i want to sleep with you tonight" she says all cute child-like "your such a baby" i say with a laugh "you love it " she chuckles " that i do come one, i as as well arrive to my room and i make my way under my blankets leaving some room for Vic to slid in to "good night baby vi" i say as she snuggles into my side, i let out a small chuckle before closing my eyes and let sleep consume me and for some reason find myself dreaming about Lorenzo, yeah i know stupid right.
