Matteo POV
" Matteo! Get of the phone and come take a preview of the song for you album!" Dina scolds. " Okay, let me just finish this last text!" I call back sheepishly.
" Matteo, I swear, if you are texting Luna again i will have no choice but to ask her to please not respond to your messages and egg you on." Dina threatens with her arms crossed. I roll my eyes.
Though i know that I have spent a lot of valuable time texting Luna, it was only because it was either that or miss the week of recording two songs or my album. So what is it Dina?
But nevertheless, I put my cell phone down. I still feel guilty, wanting to send her another apology. But there is no need because suddenly, i feel a vibrating BEEP! coming from my phone.
It's a message from Ambar.
Included in the message is a picture of my dear girlfriend with a first place metal, her beautiful green eyes shining through even the phone. With the pic, the text caption " She won!" was included.
I grin from ear to ear. But I also feel a twist of remorse. She won, and I wasn't even there? Right now, i fight the urge to hop on a plane and fly there just to say congratulations.
A sharp " Matteo!" snaps me out of my reverie. " Dina!" I say back, mocking her slightly. " How much do you want to bet it was Lunita again?" Says the boy next to her. His friends laugh. I smile slyly and guiltly. He is another singer, a friend i had made in my travels. Andre was his name.
His brother, Samuel, wanted to be in the musical/ audio recording industry, so he also tagged along. Christopher came because he was the rich one who paid for their tagging along, and also because he was interested in Music video organization and production.
We had become close, though don't get me wrong. They aren't a Gaston, so they won't be ever used as replacements.
Dina didn't mind, and that was one huge reason I liked her. As I advanced more and more in my career, people kept telling me that I should get a better agent or manager or whatever, but I always declined, although some of them were seriously well known with many connections.
People said it was stupid. That I shouldn't stay with a manager just because of feelings rather that sense. But that wasn't why I never switched.
It was because she believed in me when nobody but Luna and the rest of Jam and roller did. Also...
I didn't have the best track record with letting my sense over rule my feelings. I almost lost Luna.
NEVER AGAIN.
" Dude, she's got him whipped. " Christopher laughs. For a rich guy, he isn't condemned with the stereotypes. He isn't spoiled, and just a little bit cocky, 99.9% percent less of how much arrogance I waved around before I met Luna.
Basically, all my personality changes are measured in between two categories. Before Luna and After Luna.
" You think i'm whipped? You should see my friend Simon from back home. He's Luna's best friend so naturally, he is over kind."
" Luna? Don't you get jealous that she has a boy best friend?" Andre asks, eyebrows raised.
" I did, once upon a time. When we met, his reason for coming to Buenis Airies was just for Luna. He left his whole life in Mexico, job and all, for Luna. And she cared for him so much that she snuck him into the basement that belonged to the house that belonged to the woman her parents worked for. "
Samuel whistled. "Dang, how did you compete with that?"
I shrugged. " Luck I guess. Luck that she never returned those feelings. She loved him, yes. But the way his eyes would follow her made me want to rip him apart. But instead, it just had me acting like a jerk and made her hate me."
" Dang, he liked her? " Andre exclaimed. " how are you even trusting them to be together when your far away?"
I laughed. " oh no. How he"s dating someone who has him, may I repeat, WHIPPED. He's dating my ex, Ambar. "
" YOu're EX? " They exclaim in unison.
" If you want a crazier brew for a plot, she's also Luna's adoptive cousin. Though technically, they didn't find out until about two years ago."
" Didn't she move to Argentina four years ago? " Andre asks. I nod. I'm honestly surprised that he remembers that. Though, to be fair, I do talk about her. A lot.
Christopher shakes his head. "You're life could be a telenovela."
" Unfortunately, it isn't. That's a good idea though. It would definitely sell well. I mean, I do have the most interesting life." Matteo bragged. The three boys rolls their eyes simultaneously.
" Well, if you're done talking, I would like to begin." Dina suggests. Shoot. Matteo had forgotten she was there. He grins at her cheekily. " Oops."
She rolls her eyes. " Just meet me in the studio in less than five minutes. Oh, and you really need to get yourself checked. Being that obsessed with someone isn't healthy." With that, she strolls out of the room like she owns the place.
Andre laughs. " Wow. Dina definitely has strong opinions." Samuel and Christopher also joined the laughter at Matteo's expense.
Christopher was the first to compose himself. " So how did the competition go?" He asks.
"She won first place. Of course." Matteo says proudly, sounding like an overconfident father. Now that she thought about it, that genuinely wasn't the best synonym.
Andre's eyebrows rose. " I have to meet her one day. The pride is literally radiating of you." Matteo smiles, not embarrassed.
Then, his smile starts to falter. " Dang. I wish I could have been there." Matteo's fingers twitch towards his phone, wanting to apologize again for being absent. Andre notices this.
" No. No,no, no, no, no. You are not texting her again. You have to meet Dina in three minutes and if you pick up that phone and she answers, you won't go until an hour passes. Or Dina comes in to drag you by you hair. Whichever comes first."
"My money is on the pulling of the hair." Christopher whispers not- so- quietly to Samuel. His comment earns a dirty look from Matteo.
" You know what?" Samuel muses. " You obsession with her really is scary."
" I bet he serenades her and waits outside her door to make sure nobody wakes her up until 9 p.m." Christopher teases.
" Okay, for your information, she wakes up at 9:35." Matteo stops, realizing his earlier statement was not going to help his argument. But he continues anyway. " Second of all, it not obsession. Luna is a stunning skater who is kind to literally everyone. If I don't show remorse, its a tick on the board of reasons for Luna to dump Matteo for being a sucky ,cocky young adult.
" Wow dude. You are really insecure." Andre crosses his arms. He has never met anyone like Matteo, but then again, he has never met anyone as in love as him either.
Matteo's face just lightens into a grin. " All the parts if being in love." He then looks at the clock. "Jesus! Dina's going to have my organs."
Matteo runs away, leaving three amused boys laughing at him.
