Chapter II
"I can't believe this shit!" Juliana shouted at her sister in Spanish as they approached their rusty old Honda hatchback. She plopped into the passenger seat, throwing her bag in the back and slamming the door shut. Then she let out such a foul string of vulgarity, Milena blushed wondering how her sweet younger sister had ever learned such words. Once she had gotten her frustration out she leaned forward, rubbing her temples with her fingers, "I didn't expect it to happen so fucking fast. Now what are we going to do?"
Resting her hand on her sister's shoulder to calm her down, Milena felt the same anxiety building in her stomach. "We just can't give up," she replied in their native language, trying to sound resolute as she did all she could to force her voice to stay calm. "Not yet." There was no point in both of them going off the deep end; Juliana was usually hot-headed enough for the both of them anyway. "According to my research on Gene's computer yesterday, there are still other options we can try."
Turning to look at her sister like she had two heads and green skin, Juliana was quickly losing her nerve, tears growing with each passing second. "Other options?" She thrust her arms out toward the immigration office situated only a stone's throw away. "You just heard the man. I have two weeks before I'll be deported back to Colombia," she shook her head. "I'm out of time, Nena." Like a faucet being turned on, the tears began to fall in full form as Juliana buried her face in her hands.
Milena sat quietly, rubbing her hand along her sister's back trying to sooth her. This just couldn't be the end; she wouldn't let it be. Her mind swept over all that she had learned about obtaining US residency online the day before. "Maybe we can get... a student visa?" even as the words left her lips, she knew the answer to that option.
"Those take months to process," Juliana shook her head, sniffling in her tears. "Besides, I'd have to know English even better than you do to qualify."
Milena sighed, knowing of only one real option they had left. With only two short weeks to go, it was a long shot but... as far as she could find this was their only shot. "Listen Juliana. There is one other option." Her sister looked up at her and with a deep breath she continued, "You could get married to an American before the deadline," she bit her bottom lip. The words alone sounded crazy.
"Married?" Juliana slowly raised her head, her mouth hanging open. "Just who the hell am I supposed to marry?" She shook her head defiantly, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Two weeks isn't enough time to even find someone, much less get married. What kind of a complete stranger would do that?"
"What if he wasn't a stranger though?" Milena's gut was twisting with nerves, her own teary eyes starting to overflow. She just couldn't let her little sister be sent back alone; they only had each other after all. "What if we found someone we know to help us out?"
Juliana opened her mouth for an instant rebuttal but held short, contemplating the possibilities. "The only citizens I even know are Jorge and Osmar," she finally shook her head. "...and they're both married to each other. The rest of my English class are all residents... or illegals like me... and everyone at the salon where I work are all women."
But there was someone else that had come into Milena's mind; the only man who was ever on her mind these days. He also happened to be the only single American guy she knew with a heart sweet enough to actually help them out... maybe. "My boss, Gene. He..." she paused. Sweet compliments, better pay than she deserved with a flexible work schedule, and even the use of his personal computer anytime she wanted was one thing; but agreeing to marry her sister just for legal papers? "He might do it. Maybe."
"Your boss?" Juliana blinked her eyes in disbelief. "How could I possibly...? I don't even know the guy! Besides, he's white; probably doesn't even like hispanic women anyway," she twisted her lips back and forth, thinking. "It's not like he's actually made any advances on you before, right?"
"Oh, I'm pretty sure he likes Latinas," Milena couldn't help but laugh, drying her tears as she recalled the explicit adult website she'd accidentally seen. "I think he's just really shy, even more than me. Besides, it's only for the papers so you can stay; not like it'll be a real marriage or anything."
Juliana raised her eyebrows curiously. "You can't honestly think he's going to get married and not expect... you know, some kind of... marital rights. You're not that naive, I hope?" She suddenly snapped her fingers as if having an epiphany. "That's it! You should marry him," she nearly jumped from her seat. "You know him well... and you already have a crush on him anyway. You can just request me legally afterward. That's what Ana Maria did with her mother a few months back."
"Me?" The blush on Milena's cheeks couldn't have been redder. "I... No. I can't get married again," she shook her head. "You know I'll lose Alberto's pension if I ever do," she shrugged.
