"Tell me something Nairobi Cortes, do you love Luis Mendoza?"
"Mendoza" I repeated, giving some thought and responding "Even the name gives me butterflies"

NAI'S POV
"How embarrassing can you two be fighting each other like a bunch of drunken idiots!" I shouted, causing everyone to quiet down "What's even more embarrassing is having to break this fight"
"N-Nai, you're back?" Charlie spoke up
"No" I replied "I just went to get milk from my mom until I saw this shit happening"
I looked down at Dean for a second, the emotions almost began to flood back. I shook my head as I went back to grab the milk carton I left on the curb and walked passed them without saying a word.
"Nai! Wait a sec!" Luis said, as he began to follow me
"I don't want to talk right now" I bleated at him, giving him a side eye
It didn't seem to give him a hint, as he continued to follow me. Out of everyone, I didn't want Luis to see me like this- a whole broken mess.
"Uhm- at least let me help you with the milk! It might be heavy!" He stammered
"Uhh, its not that heavy" I cocked an eyebrow, fighting the urge to not laugh because that was honestly the dumbest reason to continue to walk with me
"I insist! Give it here!"
He didn't hesitate to grab the milk out of my hands, protecting it like it was some kind of infant. Although he is a gentleman, he sure is one stupid one. I covered my laugh with a cough as we walked in silence.
"Soooo, how's your day?" He began, making me glare at him "Right! Right, stupid question and you don't want to talk. Hear you loud and clear"
He hands me the milk as I walk up to my porch, I felt him staring at me and couldn't help but look back. He stands there awkwardly as he looks down.
"I-I know you don't wanna talk, and thats cool!"
"Luis-"
"And I am all for giving you space!"
"Luis-"
"But you have to hear me-"
"LUIS!" I shouted "Just come in, those cuts will get infected if they are not treated"
He smiles "So you're not mad?!"
I playfully roll my eyes "Just get your ass in here"
He follows me inside as I put the milk in the fridge. I read a note that mom left "Went to work. There's more concha's on the table".
