Manu Rios Imagines & Preferences

19. Accepted? pt. 2

Y/n pov

I'm on my way back home. I just left my best friend's house after we celebrated her acceptance into NYU. Even though I got accepted too, as I was not planning on going, I just told everyone writing wasn't my passion anymore. Many found it hard to believe but slowly started to roll with it seen as my response just never altered. I was not going to miss out on sending my best friend who's practically my sister off to New fucking York! It was pretty late at this point and these high heels were not making my walk to the bus any more comfortable. I came with the bus as I planned on drinking and didn't want to be an unsafe driver so I just decided to call a taxi.  I had to get home as soon as possible. I need to catch at least 6 hours of sleep before driving B/F/N to the airport tomorrow.

Manu's pov

I can't believe she lied to me. Why would she lie to me? You might be like: "how the fuck did he find out?". Well, about a week ago I wanted to bake cupcakes but knowing me I didn't know the main components out of my head. As Y/N's macbook was on the kitchen island, I just decided I would look it up. Instead, her mailbox was opened up and I oh so conveniently happened to read that she was in fact accepted into NYU. Was she planning on leaving without telling me? There's no way she would do that though. Me, being debatably a bad boyfriend, went on her messenger and saw that she did in fact plan on not going to her dream school. Why? Because of me. She's throwing away her entire future for me. As if I would let that happen.

Y/N pov

Once I arrive at my flat, I pay the driver and head in. I open my door and start taking off my shoes and let out a sigh in utter delight. I take off my coat and as I'm about to hang it on the hanger I see that there's a note on it. I take it off.

It reads: "Hello darling, I know you might not be in the mood for games but please go to the place that somehow managed to not go up in flames."

you chuckle. He knows you so well: loves riddles but utterly exhausted right now.

You head to the kitchen and another one is taped on your laptop

It read: "I know you tried but failed to hide, the fact, that honey, you may not have been denied. "

Still a bit confused, you look around the kitchen and see there's another taped to the microwave.

It read: "I love and would never leave you. I suppose I thought this was nothing new. I mean, after all we've been through? I want to give you  back the opportunity that you almost blew."

My eyes start stinging as I realise what he might be implying. As I look down and blink away tears that slowly trickle down my face, I realise there is a note taped to the floor as well. He knows you so, so well.

It read: "Now listen, I don't want you to cry more than you have already so I'm not going to pry and ask why until you're ready. Don't worry, I'm not as mad as you'd assume. So please meet me inside your room."

At this point I don't even know how I'll face him. I'm so ashamed. But if I don't go to him, he'll come to me so I'll be confronted regardless. I decided to slowly head upstairs. I knock on the door and hear his angelic voice telling me to come in. I open the door to see him sitting on my bed.

-"Hi." You say barely inaudible
He doesn't reply. He just gets up and comes up to kiss me.
He pulls away for a second and holds my face in between his hands.
-"I'm so sorry" "Shhhh it's okay. I'm not mad, okay? Please don't cry." He pecks your lips again and pulls you in by your hips, practically lifting you up. You knew this'd be the last time in a while.

"I don't want to leave you." You cry
" Listen to me. You're a strong, smart, independent, beautiful, young woman. You have the whole world and more in your hands. I know how skilled you are. I can't let your dreams and abilities go to waste. I can't let you do that. Do you understand?" He looks you deep in your eyes, really trying to get through to you.
You nod and he kisses your head.
"We'll get through this. I'll call, text, FaceTime, fucking google docs you every minute of the day." You chuckle as you dry your tears
"Don't forget you're leaving to study though okay? I can wait, however,  essays have due dates." He says matter of factly
"Oh shut up. You'll be blowing up my phone 10 hours from now. Bet." You laugh
"K bet. Text you in 2 weeks. Bye" he takes his jacket and walks out of your room

"Noooo. Okay okay please I'm sorry." You run after him and practically hang on his arm but he's way to strong so he's not even budging.

He just starts laughing and picks you up and throws you over his shoulder and heads back for your room.

"I thought so." He says as he slaps your bum

"Manu I  fucking swear..."
"Oh hush." He cuts you of by putting you down on your bed.

"Go to bed dummy. You have a flight to catch." He sits next to you on the bed

"I can't though. I have so much to get done. I haven't even booked tickets. My suitcase is somewhere in my storage room collecting dust too..." you sigh realising how much you still have to do.

"Tickets booked and bags packed. I got you." he smiles at you.
"You're a saint. See? This is why I can't leave! Who'll save my lazy ass from her reckless ways in New York?" You laugh

"I think we've established that there is no saving at this point." You grab the nearest pillow and hit him with it

He grabs a pillow too and hits you back and it just results in you and him pillow fighting for like 5 minutes until you're absolutely exhausted and just end up falling down onto your pillow in a fit of laughs until you just start to slowly doze off.

He starts running his hands through your hair until you suddenly feel him stop.

"I love you." You feel him kiss your temple and get up from your bed.
You grab his wrist and refuse to let go.

"Please lay with me. "
"Baby, I would lov-"
"Please?"
You beg him without opening your eyes. You can't believe this'll be the last time in a while.
He doesn't reply but no words are needed. He just walks round to the other side of your bed and slips under the covers and gently pulls your upper half on top of his so your head is resting on his chest which you kiss weakly.

"I love you too." You whisper as you drift away and are succumbed into unconsciousness.
