Cocaine Princess here.
This morning I received a very early morning phone call that disturbed my slumber. No it wasn't another wrong number with someone saying "I wanna Order the #5 Combo." It was none other than Valentina.
I was not greeted by the usual warm and loving reception I am so use to:
"Hola Princesa como estas?"
Instead I was greeted with this:
"So you would rather drink with that person who lives with you than with me, your one and only best friend?!"
Oh boy! I knew it was only a matter of time.
"I was expecting a call from you late Sunday night or Monday morning at the latest," I said.
"I figured you needed a couple of days to come up with an excuse. Let's hear it."
"I don't have one," I replied.
"Did it cross your mind at any point had you drank alcohol like I encouraged you to during our Easter Vay-cay your HDL would have probably been right on target and there would be no need for you to be having a drink with-"
Slight Pause.
She finished her sentence.
"Her?!"
"I don't think one day of doing shots would have helped," I stated.
"How do you know?! It might have!" she cried.
I rolled over on my other side to see what time it was. 6:02 AM. It was waaaay too early for this.
"I don't know. I guess you could be right," I said back closing my eyes.
"Are you two having the time of your lives every night while you have a drinkie? Do you make a toast?" she asked.
"Oh my God you can't be serious?" I asked back.
Oops silly me, of course she was serious.
"Where do you think we are when we're having a drink? Laying on some tropical beach under a palapa hut? Yesterday I sat at the kitchen table with my drink, the day before that, on the patio," I explained. "Satisfied?"
"You neglected to tell whether or not you guys toast?"
"Just the usual SALUD," I answered. "Satisfied now?"
"For now. Have you had a chance to check your email?" she inquired
"No, not yet."
"Go check it now."
"Why?"
"Because I sent you something and I want you to see it," she answered.
"I'll check it later and call you back."
"Why don't you do it now? You're awake aren't you?"
"Because you called me," I said.
"Just please go check your inbox. I promise you won't regret it, and stay on the phone with me."
I got out of bed, exited my bedroom, headed down the stairs, entered into the family room and turned on my laptop.....
Valentina had sent me a picture of herself holding a handbag. She had this sly and cheeky smile on her face. God help her but it's really the only smile she knows.
I gasped when I saw the picture.
"Is that a new Birkin bag?" I asked.
"Yes! Daddy bought it for me yesterday."
I let out a tiny squeal.
"It's oh so fab-u-los!" I exclaimed.
"And yours of course is on the way. Daddy had the store ship it to you."
Valentina was right about me not regretting it. Yes I am a girlie girl who loves her handbags, shoes, bling and clothes.....
