Chapter 26

As I was about to open my mouth, my phone rang from the car display that I’d set up through Bluetooth. It was Juanito, and I freaked out when I noticed Miguel looking at the name on the screen. I swallowed a lump in my throat. “It’s my best friend I told you about.”

Miguel nodded. “Sure, if you need to get that, go ahead.”

I answered it and immediately told him in Spanish that Miguel was there with me and that we had to speak in Spanish, except I didn’t say Miguel’s name, just to be safe. I told Juanito to wear a mask or a hood because Miguel was coincidentally a fan of his.

Juanito sounded intrigued, and as private about his personal info as he was, he told me it was fine, and that if anything, he was even more interested and was starting to get horny. He told me to leave it as a surprise, especially because Miguel could freak out and change his mind about the party.

I told Juanito we were almost there, and I ended the call and tightened my smile.
