"Alvaro, please concentrate!" Jézus shouted at him and gave him an annoyed look. "Yes, sorry" They were shooting a scene together. El profesor and Lisboa, Alvaro and Itziar. Alvaro and the woman he secretly fell in love with. He had a hard time to concentrate because she was standing in front of him. At first, he thought he could just act normal, but he couldn't. He couldn't stop thinking about her, about her smile. He caught himself watching her. A lot. But people didn't thought it was suspicious, because he was playing the role of the profesor.

"Alvaro?!" 

"Yes?" He looked at her questionably. "It's your line" She laughs at him because he had been dreaming for the last minute. "I'm sorry, I'm really tired, I haven't slept enough probably" The reason why he hasn't slept enough is probably because he rehearsed the plan in his head over and over again. "Why don't we take a break and try again this afternoon. And alvaro, try to get some sleep." "Yes, I'm sorry" He said to Jézus and left the scene. 

Alvaro was sitting tired and full ashamed in his dressing room. He was a professional and this had been the first time that they had to stop because of him. He hated it. "Hola hermanito, what was that? I heard they had to delay the shooting because of you" Pedro came in his dressing room to see if everything was okay with him. "Yes, I'm tired" He looked at him questionably. "You, tired? How come?" 

"I couldn't stop thinking about the plan, you know, with Itzi" He tried to explain why he hadn't got enough sleep and why he was so afraid. "I understand it must be hard to shoot with her, while you know you're in love with her, but you gotta be cool with it. I mean, what will she think right now of you, if you have been starring to her the whole time and then forgetting your lines. You have to watch out for her signals, but you don't have to give her signals!" 

"I know, but it just so hard, I want to hug her, say that I love her while she's standing right in front of me looking gorgeous, but I can't and that just the hardest thing right now." He looked with a sad face at Pedro. While his friend tried to comfort him with a cup of coffee he tried to give him the best advice he could. "You know what, just forget about the plan for a second, just focus on your part and try to ignore the fact that she's standing in front of you. Just, do your job." 

"I'll try" Pedro give him a hug. "Try to get some sleep right know, okay?" Álvaro nodded at him, but he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep. He was constantly thinking about her. Gosh, he was like a fifteen year old boy who had a crush on a girl. The only difference, this wasn't a crush, it was love, which made it so much harder. 

Álvaro was finally asleep when Itziar came to get him for the scene. She saw that he was sleeping and she didn't want to wake him up, but she had to. "Hey sleepy head" She said while she sat right next to him on the couch. "It's time to go to make-up, we're gonna try again to shoot the scene." Alvaro finally opened his eyes, and there she was, the person who he loved the most, waking him up. The best thing what he wanted to do was saying his feelings to her, but he couldn't. So he just sat up and said : "Um, yes, thanks for waking me up." She laughed at him when she left his room. 

When he came to make-up, Itzi was already sitting at her place, their places were right next to each other, because for the most time, they had to film together. "Ow there he is! Mister sleepy head!" She said while laughing at him. He didn't said anything to her, but instead he laughed. They both wanted to focus on the scene, so they didn't said anything to each other, but read their script again. But because of that silence, and the fact that he felt really good, because she was sitting right next to him, made him fall asleep again. When Itzi noticed that he felt asleep again, she started laughing. But instead of waking him up, she took a picture and posted it on Instagram. 

Luckily Álvaro thought it was very funny after all and even reacted on her post

Luckily Álvaro thought it was very funny after all and even reacted on her post. 

Just when he wanted to leave for the day, he saw that Itzi was sitting outside, reading her script for the next day. 

"It is okay if I join you?" 

"Sure" She laughed at him, which gave hime butterflies again. 

"I wanted to apologize for today"

"Oh no, don't, we all have a bad day sometimes" She looked deep in his eyes. "Didn't sleep well?" Alvaro was looking so deep in her eyes, that he even didn't heard the question. "Alvaro?!" 

"Yes! Sorry, no, I haven't slept good this night" 

"I can see that" She carefully stroked her hair behind her ear. 

"Probably because I'm afraid that the police will come and get me" He joked at her. But when he heard what he said, he felt ashamed, because that joke wasn't funny at all. But.... she laughed, she laughed at a bad joke of his. Was that a sign? She put her hair behind her ear and laughed at his joke? That gotta be a sign, right? 

"Well, I hope you'll have a better sleep tonight" She toughed his leg. Again, was that a sign? She laughed at a bad joke of his, touched his leg, played with her hair. He had to find out if those were signs, or not. 

"Do you want to get a coffee inside, because it's a little bit cold here"

"sure" 

He held out his hand because he wanted to help her getting up, like a real gentleman. She took his hands and got up. Now he had to try it. He had to test if that were signals or not. When she came up, he gently put his hand on her waist when she was all up. His hand was resting on her waist, and she didn't pulled back! She didn't pulled back! Those were 4 signs. 4! He had to make his move now, it was now, or never. She was standing there, right in front of him, his hand was on her waist and with his other, he held her hand. They were standing outside, at sunset, aka the perfect place to make a move. His heartbeat started to rise, because he knew he did't had much time left. She would take a step to go inside and this moment, this special moment, would be over. He couldn't let that happen! He had to do it. He was scared, but thought about her, her smile, that beautiful woman, who was standing right in front of him. And at that moment, he stoped thinking. He kissed her. He carefully leaned toward her and placed his lips on hers. For a second, it was magical. But then, he pulled back, because he was afraid of her reaction. He carefully dropped his hands off her waist and pulled back. She didn't said anything the first second, she just looked at him, deeply in his eyes, which mad him afraid. He was the first who broke the silence. 

"Um, I'm sorry. I couldn't have done that!" She still didn't said anything. She took a deep breath, but still... nothing. 

"It was just in the moment, that was wrong, I'm sorry." He didn't actually wanted to say that, because, well, it was in the moment, but it wasn't wrong. He truly loves her. But he was afraid she would think it was wrong. So he just started rambling stuff. 

"I'm so so sorry, that was completely inappropriate and I shouldn't have done that. I gave you the feeling like I don't respect you and that was not my intention, because I do, I do respect you. You're a woman who can take care of herself and I shouldn't have do...

"Álvaro" 

When he heard his name, he stopped for a second. She just said something, for the past minute, she hasn't said a word, but now, she did. He looked at her carefully when she took a step closer to him. And when she looked in his eyes, he couldn't lie anymore. 

"I'm sorry, I.... I think I have feelings for you." He told her the truth because he wanted her to know it, he didn't want that she thought this was an impulsive thing, he wanted that she knew that this was real. He gave her a real kiss. "I know i shouldn't have them, but I have, that's why I couldn't concentrate, because....because... I think I'm in love with you"
