Drunk

"That's right, Dad, I'll go to Sandra's boyfriend's birthday," I respond in a low tone so that only he can listen to me.

"Karina..." Apparently she doesn't like the idea very much, but the complaint is interrupted by my sister-in-law.

"I'm very sorry for what happened to your relationship with Armando." He responds and forced me to smile at the same time as I sit.

"It's nothing out of the ordinary, Martha, that's already happened and it has to be in the past," I say as I shrug my shoulders, I just want to downplay those things.

"Apparently you have too beautiful a daughter, Mr. Raphael," says Mr. Bruce like that out of nowhere.

I quickly feel blushed and at the same time saddened at the words I have just heard, apparently it has caught the attention of others, he just smiles.

"I know, Bruce, I don't have the slightest doubt about that," my father responds with a lot of pride and tenderness as he lets his eyes rest on me. "Just please don't come back too late, honey, you know very well that I've never been in favor of what you go out at night," he tells me approaching me.

I affirm with my head.

"Don't worry, I promise I'll be back as soon as possible, Dad." I answer him with a small smile, before leaving a kiss on his cheek and going out to the front door of the house.

Suddenly I bite my lips with a little nerve when passing right in front of Bruce he greets me with his eyes which were always on top of me and I have no choice but to greet him in the same way, when I go out I can feel that his eyes are on my back.

I finally release the compressed air I had inside my chest when I go out of the house and the cold air of the night hits my face freezing me not only from the nerves, but also the emotions that that man provokes in me with just his gaze.

I frighten all the thoughts I have and I encourage myself to walk to where my car is, turn on the heating, before starting it up and going directly to my friend's house.

When I arrived at my partner's house, the car was parked, I take all things and get off. At the entrance I can see that there is Sandra, who when she contacts me immediately screams and runs like crazy at me in a red dress with loose edges.

"Wow!" Karina you told me that you would be early at the party—he looks at me with a form of sentence as she smiled at her as an apology—by the way, how rude I am. How beautiful you are! —chilla changing subjects quickly making me laugh, and then take my arm and literally drag me into the house—Today you have to capture one of these boys!— she tells me again with that tone energetically making me laugh out loud.

"Wait a little, Sandra, if you continue like this you are going to tear off my arm." I have to raise my tone of voice by the music in the background, when we get to the interior of the house and stop them in front of a bar that they have made in an improvised way.

"Don't be exaggerated!" she says as she drinks a Rockero glass and pours some drinks into it, I'm sure she was making one of her invented cocktails. "Let's go take it!"

•

I look at my cell phone screen and with difficulty I can decipher the time on the screen on; I see that it is nine in the morning, I arrive approximately six hours in this place, drinking absolutely everything that Sandra gives me with an ear smile she offers me so that I can give the go-ahead to all the mixtures she has made.

Since Sandra is one of my best friends I could not hide from her that she had broken up arming, since then and after insulting everything that had to do with my ex, my friend has insisted on introducing me to all the boys who put themselves in front of us.

"Karina, you have to try this one!" he yells at me as he spreads a green glass with a red drink inside, I certainly drink the glass and finish it in a single drink before focusing on it. Immediately he looked at Sandra's distorted image, it seemed that he could see up to three of them.

The strangest thing is that I could laugh without avoiding it.

"It's more than perfect!" I scream back and everyone at the table begins to applaud my friend for her drinks.

We made a small group and we are all sitting in the living room. There was Denis, who is my friend's boyfriend and two other boys.

They are very handsome guys to be honest and I like them.

"Come on, Karina, don't be a party pooper, she just wants to dance a little with you." Sandra insists for the third time in the night, I'm already tired and I finally give up.

"Now!" Yes! - I finally accept letting go of my breath and she approaches one of the boys to warn him that she agreed to dance with him to which the boy smiles at me before getting up and gives me his hand - just a song if - I tell her without being rude.

"Don't worry, it will only be a song," he says with a small smile and a seat.

We went to the dance floor, we began to move our bodies to the rhythm that went to the song. The boy puts his hands on my waist and I could feel the breath of alcohol on my face, which at that moment I take a small distance.

"So you're the youngest in your family," she tells me, trying to get some conversation and I start laughing when I see him a little nervous.

"No, in reality, I am the youngest daughter of my parents' marriage." The youngest in the family is barely a few weeks old - I answer gracefully.

"Wow!" So, do you have a boyfriend? - Ask again and I start laughing without expressions, under my gaze at such a question.

"Of course not," I answer dry and decide what better thing is not to keep dancing anymore, I'm just going to walk to where the other boys are."

I take a few steps, but they immediately take my arm and turn to meet him.

"Hey, Karina, excuse me if my question made you uncomfortable," he tells me sadly, which I only answer with a smile.

"You don't have to worry, I just don't want to touch on that subject, do you understand?" He just nods with a forced smile and takes me by the hand before making our way through people to get to our places.

I stayed another while with the Isandra boys, until finally the fatigue reached my body and the desire to leave addressed me completely.

Maybe it was like four in the morning and I could only think about how I would get home, throw myself into bed and sleep until the next day.

"Sandra!" I scream so she can hear me, she quickly turns to see me. "I think I have to go!" I tell her as my body feels dizzy.

"Of course not!" Karina, just look at you, you're very drunk that you can't even walk," she says and calls one of the boys. "Could you take Karina home? She is very drunk and so she can't drive.

"And what's going to happen to my car?"

"That's why don't worry, I'll take it home myself, do you understand?" I sit badly.

"Okay, Karina, come on, I'll take you home," Alex tells me, just sit down and let him surround me with his arm to go, because I really accept what at any moment I can fall on the floor of how dizzy I feel, I could only observe that everything around me was spinning.

We started walking towards the exit, and once we were outside I could see a very beautiful black Chevrolet, with the help of Alex I went up to the co-driver's seat and then he got on the driver's seat and started straight to my house.

While we were on our way we were joking, there were flirtations and some jokes until minutes later the car arrived in the luxurious neighborhood and the huge houses, I told him which of them was mine and he stopped in front of the house, that house that had a huge black gate and some white bars.

Why had I never looked at Alex before?

"Would you like me to take you to the door?" I look at him and at the same time I shake my head.

"Don't worry champion, thank you very much but I can do it alone," I answer and open the door of the truck. "thank you for bringing me, Alex," and I smile again getting out of the truck as much as I can, I hear him smile and I take out my finger in the form of a mockery, his laughter becomes stronger, telling me about it.

"See you later, Karina." I look at him with an eyebrow raised and he just shrugs his shoulders, turns on the truck and finally says goodbye with his hand, imitate his gesture and I hope he disappears from my sight right away, and when he does I turn on my heels and start going to the front door of the house.

I felt too dizzy, I had never taken like I did tonight in my life and at any moment I think I would start vomiting everything I had eaten during the day.

As I walked through the garden, I stumbled awkwardly with a rock and what just had to happen happened happened; I fell directly to the ground, my cell phone flew upside down, it was totally broken, I could not even get my hands in the way to rescue it.

"Shit!" How stupid you are, Karina, the only thing missing was that you damaged your cell phone and that's exactly what you do - I repeat myself over and over again.

"Wow, wow..." I hear that voice behind me. "Apparently Karinita is rude when talking to herself."
