"Nueva York es bonito"
I smile, leaning against the railing overlooking the Hudson River. I was on a mission to take Benito to as many of my favorite spots. We had 3 more hours till the sun came up and our journey would end.
"Not as beautiful as you tho" he smiled cheekily and leaned in to kiss my cheek.
I rolled my eyes.
"Interesting how you don't know much English but then suddenly do when it comes to flirting"
He chuckled.
"Si. Si, okey, I'll speak in Spanish from now on"
I laughed and shook my head. "Okay but my español es muy horrendous."
"¿Adónde más deberíamos ir?"
Where else should we go?
My brows furrowed as I tried to translate his words in my head. He spoke slower.
I nodded slowly understanding.
"Coney Island!"
The ride to Coney was slow because it was late and the trains started running on an imaginary schedule only the MTW knew about, but Benito and I kept the convo going, practicing words in English and Spanish trying to strength our respective languages.
"After tonight, mi vida será diferente."
My life will be different.
He said somberly as we came into view of the Brooklyn aquarium.
"How? ... como?"
"Yesterday I met up with a producer who " he paused trying to find the word.
"¿Como se dice, especializado?"
He pursed his lips and continued.
"He helps cross over Latin artists into American homes."
I nodded understanding what he meant.
"So, you weren't lying when you said you're a rapper. You're a rapper not the SoundCloud shit?"
He laughed and the two construction workers half asleep on the train a few seats away from us jerked out of their sleep.
I yelled sorry across the cart to them causing them to grumble and Benito to laugh.
"Si, I'm the real deal. Well, I'm trying to be"
"Why did u say tonight your life will change"
"I gave him my demo. He is going to play it for some important people." He looked at his watch
"Right now, in LA. If they like it. If they like me"
"You'll be the next Daddy Yankee??"
He laughed and the smile stood on his face. He looked out the window seeing the Wonder Wheel lighting up Luna Park.
"I'll be bigger."
"I hope everything works out. Even though I've never heard you I want you to be successful." I genuinely meant it. If he looked this happy talking about music, I could only imagine how he looked when he performed.
"What if you listened to my music and didn't like it?" He smirked
"Well, I would have to lie to you, to spare your feelings of course."
He smiled and rolled his eyes.
"But" I moved closer, so my lips hovered above his ear, "I like you so I'm sure I'll like your music."
