"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...

"I fucked up, I seriously fucked up," I ran my two hands through my hair resting my elbow on the meeting table.
"What did you do?" Diego asks and I lift my head up, to look at him and Sienna.
"She asked if I had feelings for her and I didn't respond," Sienna's eyes widen and Diego slaps his face in reply to what I said.
"Well do you have feelings for her?" Sienna asks and I hesitate before answering.
"No, I don't think so, she was only meant to be someone I'm fucking, no one else and I don't know how the hell it escalated to this."
"Bullshit, fucking bullshit. You're lying to yourself, you know you love her and she loves you just as much and I know it's scary for the both of you because you both have probably never been in an actual committed relationship so you both don't even recognize you love each other." Diego almosts shouts as if he's scolding a child.
I do love her, I think I always have. Hell, I know. I always have but this feeling is so raw, so unnatural to me that I've tried so much to be in denial of it. But I never could, I couldn't deny my love for her because every time I try to my heart just aches for her toches, her laughter, just everything about her is too unreal to me. She could be there existing and I would fall in love with her all over again.
"Shit..." I mutter, knowing how much I've fucked up.
"Shit is right, now are you going to fucking stand here or are you going to go run after your girl?" Diego comments and I stand up, running towards the door and flinging it wide open, running down towards Mal's room.
When I open her door, it's like everything just slowed down. Maliyah wasn't in her room but all of her stuff was thrown on the floor and the window had been slid wide open, revealing the night sky. My heart starts racing and I can feel myself slowly panicking. "DIEGO!"
He comes running through with the crew all with worried expressions and they look around the room, eyes widening when they realize what had happened.
