Michael's POV

Everyone was still curious about whom I was dating and I still wasn't ready for everyone to know. The only person I trusted with this was Carolina and today she was flying in from New York to meet up with me and meet my girl.

"Miguel" she smiled at me as I waited for her in the terminal

"Hey boo" I told her giving her a huge hug

"So weird seeing you here" she says

"I know, and your sister went back to California?" I asked looking around

"Yes she thinks I had to meet up with Denise but I lied"

"Sneaky" I laugh "thanks for coming"

"You're totally welcome! I'm so nervous to meet your girlfriend!"

"You'll love her and maybe make her part of your court?"

She gives me a weird look but I grab her suitcase and she says "we'll see"

We walk out into the weird November weather; sunny and windy. I know me and my girlfriend have only been together maybe four months and I've only seen her once each month, but I cared too much about her already to keep hiding our relationship. One person at a time would find out who she is.

I'm sure that by the time the wedding comes around I'll be just like my friends with my lovely girlfriend by my side,

Genesis's POV

My sister and I left New York on the same flight but right when we landed in Dallas she said she needed to stay in town to visit her future mother in law. I didn't question her and went ahead on boarded my flight to Los Angeles.

I knew Laura and Estefania were going to be busy at the bakery, Valerie was also busy with her new job at Neiman Marcus, so I asked the only other person I knew was maybe available to pick me up; Zach.

"Hola chica" I hear someone say from behind me as I pick up my suitcase from the treadmill

I turn around to meet a pair of blue eyes.

"Hola gringo" I laugh at Zach

I embrace him in a long hug and then notice a pair of familiar green eyes staring at me expectantly.

"Camaron!" I say moving away from Zach

"Ugh I told you not to call me that" he squirms

"Missed you both" I looked at them

"Let's get going" Zach says grabbing my suitcases

I was so happy to be back in California. It wasn't as cold here as it was in New York and the sun setting looked amazing, I feel Cameron wrap his arm around my shoulder and I grab his hand as we walk down to his car. I notice Zach give us a weird stare but pop the trunk anyways putting my stuff in.

"Let's head over the bakery and see what we can do tonight" Cameron says as he opens the passenger door for me

"Thank you" I pause "sorta jet lagged right now tho, what time is it here?"

"Six" Zach answers from the back

"Dang, I rather you guys take me home then"

"To Joe's place?" Camm smiles suggestively

"Oh no, to my place. I'd love to take a nap, then we can all go out" I smile

They both nod as we pull out of the parking lot.

Once more Zach helped me with my things and even came all the way into the house with me.

"You don't have to help, I got this" I say grabbing my things

"No I might as well" he smiles

I shrug and we walk down to my room. I hadn't been here in nearly two months and it was nice seeing all of my things just as I remembered them.

"Just leave the stuff here" I point to the edge of my bed

He nods and says "nice having you back" before leaving me alone.

I wonder why Zach was acting so strange or maybe it's just because I haven't been around everyone in a long time, I snap out of it, head over to the front door lock it and comfy into something comfy.

I was so ready for this nap. I already missed Joe terribly.

---

"Wake up!" I hear people screaming

"Whaaaat" I whine

Then I feel jumping on my bed.

"OK OK IM UP"

I look around and see my friends around me.

"Welcome back" Nani smiles

They all huddle me into a big hug.

"Cameron called me earlier saying you were here" Laura said

"I didn't want to bother you guys" I yawn

"No bother, we're all out of work now" Valerie says

"Shoot what time is it?" I ask

"Around nine" Val answers

"Did you guys want to go out?" I suggest

"Yeah that would be fun" Laura says "Oh and where's Carolina?"

"She went to visit Denise about some wedding stuff; she'll be back tomorrow though"

"Awe, can't wait for her to get here so we can help her as well" Nani smiles

"Anyway what do you guys want to do?" I ask "Movie? Oh man I don't wanna be the third wheel!" they all laugh at me but I then remember "wait Michael can be my date"

"Movie sounds fun" Val says

"But Michael is out of town, probs seeing his girlfriend" Laura mentions

Dang. Hmm now I didn't know what to do.

"Let's just stay in then" I say "y'all can have your guys over, I'll go ahead and sleep"

They all frown at me but don't hesitate to call up their boyfriends to come over. And soon enough I could hear the house start to fill up with guys I sit up in my bed and get out my room.

"Hey" I say walking into the living room

I said hi to Cameron and Zach one more time before saying hi to Taylor.

"Nice to see you again" he says "Your sister?"

"She'll be back tomorrow"

"Awesome cuz I have something for her"

"You do" I head Nani ask coming to his side

"Yes, wedding related of course" he says

"Better be!" she says grabbing his hand

I see all the couples gathered around the TV, they ask me to join them and I decide 'well why not' and sit in the large couch next to Zach. Valerie smiled, made room for me and Zach did the same but wrapped his arm around my shoulder in the same way Cameron did earlier.

We share a momentary gaze as the lights are turned off before he turned to look at Valerie and I start to remember how it felt to get lost in those blue eyes.
