"You're staring at him again," Valentina sighs.
"Hm?" I responded, not catching on to what Valentina was inferring. She tugs on my arm and shakes her head, chuckling.
"You were staring at Mateo." She takes a sip of her coffee, looking up at me.
"I'm...

"So do you remember the plan?" I turn around to face the backseat where Sienna, Val, and Diego sat.
"Wait can you run us through the plan one more time?" Diego asks and everyone now bursts into groans since he asked this same question about ten times now, and I am now starting to have doubts about him going in there at all.
"You and Sienna will sneak through the back and take the guards there, that's when I and Mateo will get through and Valentina will help us see if there any incoming gaurs while Sebastian and Luca stay here, and ready the car for when we get out. Now if you ask me one more time I will cut your head off, okay?"
"I should've just asked Sienna," Diego groans while I and Mateo laugh, getting out of the car with our guns readied in our hands.
Diego and Sienna have already made their way into the building and I and Mateo are now standing by the back door with him not knowing the meaning of personal space. "Could you back up?" I whisper-shout, turning around and I stumble back a little but Mateo secures me by leaving a hand at my back.
"You never gave me the chance to compliment your hair," He leans in a little and I almost forget where and what we're doing. Almost.
"Not the time and place, I promise once we get home you can do all the complimenting you want," I say before placing a peck on his lips and now turning around, waiting for Sebastian to clear it for us.
"You're really lucky I Io--"
"Alright Mal, the coast is clear but don't take too long, it's not going to take long till they realize something is up," Valentina says through the earpiece interrupting whatever Mateo was going to say.
I turn back to Mateo who looks like he's just been hit by a ball and I raise an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to follow me in. He smiles and takes out his gun, and follows me inside.
"There's a door that leads to the emergency stairs that goes all the way towards the office, so just go up those and you'll be fine." Luca says and we both nod, turning to our right where a read door that is labeled 'EMERGENCY EXIT' and I pushed it open holding it so Mateo could enter.
We start climbing the stairs in silence, our guns in our hands. But, the silence is killing me, and I don't think we've ever gone this long without talking to each other. "What's your favorite song?" I look up to Mateo, who gives me a glance with a raised eyebrow.
"I just wanna know," I shrug and he chuckles.
"Say You Won't Let Go," We both take a step up, getting a bit closer towards the upper staircase.
"Why?"
"It was my father's favorite song." His face softens up and hurt is splashed on his face at the mention of his mother and I can almost see the tears at the brink of his eyes.
