Tropical Storm Victoria/val+santana
āI know, mami.ā The words were let out through clenched teeth. Val always spoke to her mother in English when she was trying to keep her manners in check. It might also be a good middle finger to her since her English was obviously better. Ā āYo se, ma. I know what time. Iāll be there. Weāll be there. Yes, I know you donāt like waiting. Well, if you let me go then you wonāt have to worry about me being lateā¦ā Val imagined that most girls would be happy to have their mother visit from out of town. It just wasnāt the case with her. Apparently, Victoria was staying in New York a little longer than expected to talk to some director who was shooting a Spanish movie in New York City. It would definitely be a step up for the notorious telenovela star, but Val just couldnāt find it in herself to care. Victoria never relished in her victories so why should she care about her motherās. Either way, this dinner wasnāt something she had a say in. Being seen out with her doting daughter was a publicity opportunity that Victoria couldnāt miss out on, and fighting it definitely wasnāt worth the nagging. The only thing she had control over was who joined them for dinner.
Santana was nice enough to agree to the adventure despite Val explaining her motherās personality. It was at the small price of a role in her play, which she would have asked Santana to play anyway. She was judgmental, critical, and she did all things with a smile. If it had been anyone else, Val would be worried about scaring a friend off. However, if anyone was suited for this challenge, it would be Santana. Val took her car to Santanaās Manhattan residence. She wasnāt one for driving, but her mother had already requested that she not show up in a taxi. It was likely a request for Val to show off the silver Corvette one of her friends had purchased for her. No mind the fact that Val really hated driving. Val pulled out her phone and hit the contact button for Santana. āHey, Iām outside awaiting my doom when youāre ready. Please take your time.ā
