Chapter 20
twenty
Ev
So Santos and I are dating, and now he’s missing
Sergio
HOW AM I THE WORST STORYTELLER HERE?
I want to submit this for evidence A in clearing my name
PS I already knew about the dating (take that, losers!)
But
What do you mean he’s missing???
Jaime
Sergio has a point, for once in his life
And I also knew about them dating, so fuck you
Sergio
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KNEW?
Jaime
León told Carlos, who told Jimena, because siblings. Then Jimena told María, who told me, obviously
Sergio
I hate you
Jaime
Anyway, back to the important thing here, congrats on dating, but
MISSING?
Ev
I don’t know
I think he might’ve told me where he was going while I was half asleep, but it’s been hours now, and he’s not texting back
Jaime
omg I hate you
Sergio
Be nice!!!!!!!
Okay, so he’s just out of the house and not being killed somewhere
María
Does this mean you’re coming back to the dark side?
Sergio
Ohhhhh, yesss, León and Danny are running a workshop and they have new toys
You haven’t heard this from me
Ev
You typed that in the group chat they’re in
Sergio
Oh
Danny
There’s another group chat?
Sergio
Bitch, there’s like a dozen group chats, keep up
Ev
Anyway
He’s like not a Dom, but he fucks me with a cock cage on, and calls me pretty girl and all kinds of things, and he’s rough, and takes over a lot, and that kind of thing
So I don’t know?
I’m scared
María
Why?
Kara
SERGIO!!!!!!!! We’ve talked about not waking me up for non emergencies!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Congrats, Ev, Santos and you looked so cute together at the munch)
Sergio
Well, it started out as an emergency, have you thought of that????????
Kara
Ugh, I’m not awake enough for this
Mónica
What were you even doing sleeping past noon, Mrs. I will never understand Spain’s schedules?
Kara
I was baking late, Ma’am
It makes sense
Mónica
Right
Ev
I don’t know
What if he’s forcing himself to be like that with me? He says he isn’t, but what if that’s not true?
And what if it is true, but he’s distracting himself from all the other stuff he has on his mind? That’s not healthy, is it, but what do I do?
Jaime
What other stuff?
Ev
Military stuff. I can’t talk about it
Jaime
I hate you
Ev
You said that already and it’s not helping
Sergio
Awww, look, Ev is giving you sass!
I’m so proud
Kara
If you say that, he’s going to be scared of doing it again
Stop it
Carlos
Santos is with a buddy of mine, not missing
But, Ev, even if he using this as a distraction, the guy loves you
Ev
But I wanna be a good boyfriend
Jaime
Look at your face, love, you already are
Kara
Well, that’s a bit conceited
But I’m sure you’re already doing great, Ev. You’re very sweet
Ev
Am I?
Sergio
Duh??????????
I’m going to throw all Daddies and Mommies on you if you don’t quit this
Ev
Please don’t
Sergio
What do I get in return?
Ev
Nothing?
Sergio
I have to teach you the ways of true negotiation
León
This is why I have these groups on mute, to be clear
Ev, you’re good, give your man some time
Sergio, you do remember you’re coming to mine tonight, right, boy?
María
You love us, León, stop it
Cece
Can someone better than me draw some kind of diagram to explain everyone’s dynamics?
It’s too early, and the pack is blowing up my phone with questions
Sergio
A secret group chat I’m not a part of?????
Cece
You’re not a part of our pack??
Sergio
Whatever
I’ll draw the best thing, you’ll see
Kara
Weren’t you supposed to be early to finish a commission?
Sergio
Creatives need tasks to get out of the funk, Kara, it’s a thing!!!!!!!!
Kara
Sure
Mónica
Ev, do you need to get out of the house? I can pick you up on my way to Kara
Ev
It’s okay, Ma’am
I appreciate it, though
Kara
It’s fine, we’ll kidnap you another time
