Chanclas - Spanish word for Slippers. In case you were wondering, Ivy's family is from Puerto Rico.
DIANEI couldn't sleep well all afternoon after I stormed away from that asshole. I groaned and sulked into my pillow as I bashed so many cursive names against him.Now, it is late afternoon, almost evening. I am still hungry, and still very much angry with Leo.He is such a dick. After checking for calls or messages I might have missed while I was angry-napping, I sit up on my bed and stretch up my arms.My stomach rumbles loudly.“Fuck,” I hiss out quietly, clutching to my poor belly. I slowly begin to massage it as I also think of the next tasks I need to do before today completely runs out.I need to do some light shopping. Get a few new gloves and socks. Restock my pencils, and check out for any new interesting comics at the bookstore I had noticed just a few blocks away from the condo apartment.I could also get Chinese takeout for my dinner on my way back.Quickly, I get off my bed and throw on a white T-shirt and thick black baggy pants. Next, I slip my feet into my black cro
LEO“Make sure your bitch is gone by then. If not, I won't give a fuck about us having that conversation in her very presence.”Frosty glares at me one last time before pressing her key card to the lock. The door opens, and she storms out, banging the door shut to my face.The loud jam nearly throws me off balance. Whew. That was….. intense.My fingers tangle in my hair as I walk back into the sitting room, dumping down on the sofa in frustration.“Hey, I don't like her.” Maddie complains.“Me too.” I grab the bottle of red wine from the table and fill up my champagne glass.Maddie scoots closer to me. “Who does she even think she is? Does she think she's even pretty or good enough to talk to me like that?”I chuckle, nearly choking on the liquid traveling down my throat.I get that Maddie is mad at Frosty, but she didn't have to lie just to paint Frosty black. Frosty annoys the shit out of me, but she’s undoubtedly very beautiful too.“What's funny?” Maddie throws at me.I lick my lip
DIANE Shopping was nice. I bought my pencils, socks and gloves. I even got myself Chinese takeout for dinner and a couple new comics from the bookstore near the condo. The bookstore, Supernova Comics, is a lovely sight to behold. The interior is beautiful, serene, filled with tall shelves containing so many cool comics, and there's even a cozy mini reading spot at the far end of the store. Mrs Jones, the bookstore owner, was nice and very hospitable to me. My shopping experience there was amazing, and I even see myself probably visiting there whenever I need to treat myself to a comic getaway. The elevator dings, and the doors slide open. After stepping out of the elevator with my Chinese takeout in one hand, and the bag of pencils, gloves, socks, and the new comic books I got from the bookstore in my other hand, I begin walking to my condo unit. The thought of meeting Leo inside gnaws at my guts, filling me with the same instant anger that once flooded my veins about a couple hou
LEO “Stop looking at me like that.” Frosty mutters, her soft voice wavering slightly. “Like what?” I reply, keeping my tone low and deep. My eyes are still fixed on her mouth as I lick my lips, unable to stop myself from staring. Her breathing falters, and she shifts on the counter, saying nothing. I lean closer, my eyes still locked on that seductive mouth of hers. To be fucking honest, Frosty has the sexiest plump lips I have ever seen on any girl. Just the thought of kissing those full, soft looking lips, or having them wrapped perfectly around my cock has me staring more than I know I should. But I continue staring regardless, partly because I am enjoying it more than I want to admit, and the other reason being to gauge her reaction. I don't wait for long, because Frosty shifts her ass again on the counter, and her breathing seems to be faltering more and more with each passing second between us. Even her cheeks are now flushed, vividly telling me everything I need to k
DIANE Leo sighs again after I stop laughing, obviously tired of me. Coming to an agreement with him feels like I just won a huge lottery tonight.“Do you need my help with anything here?” I ask.“No. I'm almost done.” He answers as he retreats back to the lasagna he's making. He spots one of the bags I brought in containing the Chinese takeout.“Since you’re having my lasagna tonight, you won't mind me putting that in the fridge.”“Oh,” I had even forgotten about the Chinese takeout. I give him the bag, “Thanks.”“You're welcome.” He takes the bag from me.I get off the counter and grab my other bags, “I'm coming.”“Alright.” He goes back to finishing up while I leave the kitchen for my room.I open the door of my bedroom and enter inside before shutting it behind me. I keep the bags at a corner of my bed and hurry to the bathroom to have a quick shower.Few minutes later, I am done, feeling refreshed as I step out of my bathroom. After rubbing my night cream on my body and rolling m
DIANE The next morning, I am standing in front of my department building, dressed in a denim blue overall, white T-shirt, with a pair of matching white sneakers. I stare at the entrance, watching many people as they enter and exit from it.I hold tight to my bag strap, the important document I need to submit to the department officer sitting pretty in it. School will resume after this weekend, and just like I promised myself, I'll check out my classrooms and possibly the general art studio of the department.I could also stumble into a few of my level coursemates who might be here to submit a document or two just like me. Also, if I'm lucky enough, I could also meet my senior colleagues here before school resumes properly.After taking in a breath and exhaling calmly, I walk into the building, greeting the security officer as I pass. Once inside, I follow the arrow sign by my left indicating the way to the office of the department officer.In less than a minute, I am in front of the
DIANE Still grinning ear to ear from my unexpected encounter with Jen, I follow the same staircase she went, arriving right outside the building.The lawn before me is fresh, clean, and so green. Even the air around me is crisp and feels like……it feels like I'm exactly where I need to be.Lifting up my phone, I tuck my hair strands behind my ear before taking a few selfies in front of the building to add to the other pictures I'll send out later today.Done, I scroll through the selfies and get rid of the ones that weren't well angled. I smile, feeling so proud of myself.After putting my phone into my bag, I decide to walk back into the building and try to find or ask around for the art studio. Just as I turn, a brooding girl stumbles into me, her phone and books dumping straight on the ground with a thud.“Sorry,” she winces and bends down to gather her stuff, her full shiny black hair splaying all over her slender back in tight, long curls. I stare down on her in shock for a few s
DIANE I can't believe these two weirdos are about to argue in my presence right now.“Really Dante?” Crystal starts. “Are you blind or do you need me to chant the list?,” she begins counting her fingers, “One, Priya is so full of herself and so fucking bitchy. Two, she's also a great liar and a cheat. Three, she also annoys the shit out of me whenever she messes with my stuff if I'm not around the house. Four, she never, ever, accepts that she can be wrong, especially when she is always wrong! Would you like me to go on Dante? Huh?!”Dante rolls his eyes. “I'm very happy right now that you're just telling me all that about your roomie when you could have told me about it more than two weeks ago.”“I told you.” She retorts.“Oh you mean when you blatantly just told me to stay away from Priya like she caught the flu? You can't possibly expect me to act all AWOL on Priya like that, especially when she did nothing to me and since you chose to hoard everything you just said now to yoursel
