Nina Caliente pushed and pulled the rowing machine, sweat slipping down her hands. "Come on! Just a little more." She huffed as the Salsa Music played around her. She grabbed a towel, wiping her forehead. Suddenly, the music shut off. She groaned, throwing the towel down angrily. She had payed the bills hadn't she? No, that couldn't be it; the lights were still on. "Dina." She said through gritted teeth. Nina walked up the glass plated steps, gripping the railing hard with anger. After opening the door to the balcony, she clenched her fists tight and stormed up to her platinum blond twin; looking relaxed enough to be a statue. She grabbed the tangerine radio and stabbed the off button with her fingernail. "Hey! Trying to relax here! What's your problem?!" Dina snapped as she lifted up her sunglasses. Taking a deep breath, Nina began. "You shouldn't be "Relaxing". What you should be doing is earning your fair share of the rent!" Nina yelled. Dina flashed a diva smile and turned the radio back on. "Don't worry! I still have cash flowing." She said bored as she pushed her shades back down. Nina turned the tunes back off. "I'd like to think you're doing the right thing Dina. But Michael's inheritance won't last forever. Besides, you've been spending left and right these days. And what money you do use for rent isn't enough. It never has been!" Nina said taking the pink lemonade from the table and pouring it on the deck. "Chill out Nina!" Dina said unphased before pushing the play button on the radio as the tunes blasted out. "Listen. How about I take you shopping? That always cheers you up!" Dina said enthusiastically. Nina scowled and picked up the radio, tossing it lightly a few times, and then hurling it over the balcony like a football, the tunes warped with the crashing sound. "What was that?!" Dina said accusingly. "That was my response." Nina said. "So you hate Salsa Music?" Dina said sarcastically. "I can't go because I have a job you idiot!" Nina yelled. "That's why I've been working my arms nonstop! That's why I've left want ads and resumes casually all over the house! And that's why I'm yelling at you now!" She finished huffing. When She didn't respond, Nina held up her index finger and looked at her twin angrily. "Well?! Do you hear me?" Dina picked up her headphones and slid them over her ears. "I'm done pulling your weight Dina!" She tried yelling over the MP3 Player. Dina just continued to bob her head around to the music. Then said happily: "Do you like this remote? It lets me turn off devices it's wired to." "And where did you get that?" "Morty!" "I give up. But first," Nina said as she grabbed the remote. "I'm the landlord." Nina yelled throwing her hands up and stomping off.
Later that night, Dina slipped into a white silk nightgown, and lounged on the couch watching a movie. Forcing herself to replay the events in her mind. Unbenounced to her Sister, she had been listening. "What does she mean 'done pulling my weight?'" She mumbled as the TV blared. Her sister walked down the stairs, swinging her purse over her shoulder. "I'm going to Brandi's." She said putting her hand on the doorknob. Looking back at the TV, she continued. "I meant what I said Dina. I'm done pulling your weight." She said waiting for Dina to respond. When she said nothing, Nina sighed and closed the door. Dina continued watching, thinking more and more. A knock at the door startled her. Getting up and pausing the Drama, she opened the door to Don Lothario. "Hey Dina." He said uncomfortably. "Don. What do you want?" Dina asked putting her hand on her hip. "I came to see Nina to ask about her job," He said rubbing the back of his head. "But…" He couldn't finish. "Nina's out seeing a friend." Dina said bored. "Can I come inside?" He asked after a long silence. "Fine." Dina said leaving the door open for him. Don observed Dina as she positioned herself back on the couch, her blond hair falling down over her shoulders. "You know, you're a beautiful woman Dina…" He said seductively. "And?" Dina said inquisitively. Don felt great, looking at her, he said: "Do you want me?" Dina's eyes popped out of her head. "Yes…" She moaned smiling. In minutes Don was all over her. And while cuddling on the couch, they didn't even hear the front door open. They were snapped back to reality by Nina's voice. "Having Fun?" she spat. Dina screamed. and Don hopped up. "I was just going…." Don said. "Nina! It's not what-" Nina held up a hand to silence her. "You and I are through!" She said pointing at Don accusingly. He held his head down and walked out. "And you," She said with white hot rage. "I want you out by tomorrow!" Nina yelled pointing at the door. "But how can I move out in a day?" She pleaded. "Well you'd better get started, because anything that isn't out by tomorrow night stays here and becomes mine." She said confidently. "Fine." Dina huffed and walked up to her room.
