It's been a few days since Justin and Beli formed a stronger bond. He was still pretty worried about the prediction Zoey had. It was pretty strange how she had to visit Beli in her dreams just to warn him. Hopefully, she would return one day.

He laid in bed, wondering what to do. Tiffany was pretty busy with school so they probably couldn't hang out. He was aching for her to graduate within the coming months. She'd have more free time by then.

"Dang, what can I do?" he said to himself. There were so many things he could do, but he just couldn't decide.

"You know what? I think I'll hang out with Vin today."

He got out of bed and put his clothes on. He walked down the street to Vin's house. He knocked on the door to see if the savage catman was home.

"Vinnie? You there?" he said, knocking. The door opened. However, the person who answered it wasn't Vinnie.

"Marlena?" he said, completely shocked. The Brazilian woman he met once was in his house for some reason.

"Hi, Chico. Whatcha need?" she said.

"I came to see Vinnie. Is he here or?"

"Ah, you might wanna come in. He could use a visitor." she said. Was something wrong with him?

JD came in, suddenly worried about his friend. He went to his room and saw him laying in bed.

"Vin? Are you alright, buddy?"

He raised his head up. He looked happy to see him.

"H-Hi, Justin. Good to see you." he said, sounding under the weather.

"Are you okay? You sound sick."

"Yeah, I've been pretty sick lately. The doctors told me to lay in bed for a few weeks. I apparently have a rare type of flu."

He was in dismay. Should he even be in his room? Was it contagious?

"Maybe I should leave." he said, starting to walk out.

"No!" the beastly man said. "I want you to stay for a bit. Just don't get too close, is all."

He was very confused. What kind of flu was this?

"Ah, okay then. So, how are you feeling?"

"I'm alright. I just have a headache, cough, and my body feels weak. I went to the veterans hospital and they told me to lay in bed for 2 to 3 weeks."

"I mean, did they tell you what this sickness was? Any names? Symptoms?"

"Yeah. They said it was a rare variant of the flu. I believe it was called Omegsilon or something? I don't know but it's a combination of other strains of the flu."

He was so confused. He knew viruses mutated, but the seasonal flu seemed to be less common. It was called 'Omegsilon'? Why is it a combination of two letters from the Greek alphabet? Omegsilon isn't even a word.

"Well, I hope you get better. It is flu season so I wouldn't doubt it if more people got these flu variants. I just hope we don't go into a global pandemic and the government announces new variants every few months."

Vin chuckled. Even if he was a supporter of both North America and South America, he could agree that the government pulled some rather shady information out of their asses from time to time.

"Well, I'm glad I visited you. Was hoping we could go out to eat or something but you're sick. I guess I'll wait until Tiffany's available."

"I appreciate it, Justin. I should be better soon enough. But, I think Marlena wanted to talk to you. You should chat with her on your way out."

"Yeah, of course. What's she doing here?" he asked, wondering why she was at his house.

"She's been taking care of me, making me soup and keeping an eye on me."

Ah, so that's why she was there. Made sense. He needed somebody to be his caretaker.

"Ha, alright. Well, I'll see you later, Vinnie. Get better soon." he said. He left and decided to chat with Marlena. Yeah, she was the one who took those photos during the drunk Christmas party.

"So, Marlena?" he said, addressing the Brazilian woman.

"Yeah, hi JD. What's up?"

"Vin told me you wanted to talk."

"Yeah, I just wanted to get to know you better, is all. Though, Vincenzo's told me a lot."

He smirked. What did he snitch on him about?

"Like what?"

"Well, he told me you like chicken alfredo, have a special taste in music, and he also said you've had sex so many times."

What a way to spill some beans. The first two things were pretty practical, but the last thing was just unexpected.

"Ah, yeah. I've had sex with so many girls, one of them had a dick."

Marlena chuckled.

"He also told me you have a special sense of humor. I like you."

"Special is right. Some of the things I say are pretty wild. I'm self-described as overly eccentric."

"Well, you seem nice. I've heard many things about you. You seem pretty genuine. But, who was the best person you've ever fucked?"

Dang, Marlena? Did you really have to ask that? He couldn't think. Who was it?

"The best? Dang. There's so many. But, if I had to pick one, it'd be Ashley. She's a nice girl and is pretty accepting of me, even though she's a super model."

"Are you talking about Ashley Rosemarry? Yeah, I follow her on QuickiePic. Been wanting to do a fashion collab with her for a while. She's just so famous that I doubt she ever sees my DMs."

This was so interesting. Not only did this chick know Vin, but she also knew Ashley. Wait, didn't she know Jessie as well?

"So, last time I saw you, you mentioned Misty. Were you talking about Jessie, who plays Misty Katz?"

"Yep, Chico. I know Misty personally. Was pretty surprised to see her at that crazy party you had. Oh, and don't worry about me snitching on you. That blondie won't hear a peep outta me."

He was relieved to hear this. Marlena definitely didn't seem like the traitor Beli mentioned.

"Yeah, alright. But, how do you know Misty?"

"Me and her have actually done several movies together. We collab pretty often and hang out on weekends, along with an Asian chick."

He was starting to see many connections with this woman. He needed to know more...

"Well, I should really get to know you more. I guess the most important thing to ask you is... Your last name?"

"Ah, yeah. That would be useful to know. My last name is Mendez. Marlena Mendez is my full name. I have an older brother named Alonzo, though he's kind of a sociopath. I don't talk to him that much."

"Alright, got it. Marlena Mendez. I guess I should ask you some of the other questions I asked the other girls. How old are you?"

"Me? I'm 30 years old. I'm not the same age as Misty, but I do have the same beauty as her."

Made sense. She was 30 years old and was just as beautiful as Jessie. Though, considering that Jessie was closer 40 years old and was still relatively attractive, no doubt Marlena would lose her beauty sooner.

"You're pretty. I see why Jessie would want to hang out with you. You almost look like her twin sister."

"Thanks, Chico. I do look like her, though I'm Brazilian and have a different taste in fashion. I don't usually wear leopard print. I prefer pink crop tops and skinny jeans."

That was pretty obvious. She was still beautiful nonetheless.

"I'll ask one more question and then I'll leave. Um... HOW BIG ARE YOUR BOOBS?!" he said, asking about her cup size. Dang it, Justin. You had to ask that?

"Ha, these milkers? Yeah, they're DD's."

Yep, it was pretty obvious she had DD cups.

"Ha... Ha... Y-Yeah. I knew that." he said in an awkward tone.

She chuckled. He was extremely goofy in some ways. He kind of had his own charm.

"Well, I've gotta get back to taking care of Vin. He probably needs more ginger ale soon."

"Yeah, I need to go back home. I'm not sure what Momo's doing or if she's wondering where I went, but I don't like to leave her alone by herself."

"I understand. I'll see ya later, okay? We might hang out one day."

He nodded. He left Vinnie's house and went back home. It was good to finally get acquainted with Marlena. 'Marlena Mendez', what a name. She was a beautiful Brazilian woman, that's for sure.

The rest of the day was pretty quiet, boring even. Maybe, the next day would be more eventful. He definitely needed to find people to hang out with.
