"Um.. Are you sure?" I asked unsurely. How does Iñigo even know about this. How could he be so sure? Why should we trust him-

"Its okay Di, I met him before. He's my dad's friend and he has his connections" Iñigo looks at me reassuringly and I just nodded.

Sir Pablo then drives off to the highway just as the fireworks started to get prettier. Aww.

"Did you know that the fireworks are just distractions?" Sir Pablo says from the driver's seat. "Really po? For?" I asked.

"For the artist to leave. So no one would go out and try to follow them" He explains. "Yet here we are" Iñigo laughs.

I smile to myself as I let my body relax into Iñigo's arms.

We were about 10 minutes into driving when I spotted 2 black vans in front of us. You're kidding me.

"That's them?" I whispered to Iñigo. "Yep" Sir Pablo answers, overhearing my question.

I sat up straight in my seat, excited for what was about to come.

We arrive at the hotel 20 minutes later. We get off but the black vans were nowhere to be seen. I saw Iñigo hand Sir Pablo a 1000 peso bill. He gets some change but I didn't get to see how much he gave Iñigo. They salute each other goodbye and Iñigo faces me.

"WHAT" Iñigo yells. Loud.

"What" I ask.

"I know this place" he says

I turned around and read the hotel's name

"Finalé Ariel"

"My aunt works here!" He exclaims. Oh my Goodness.

"Iñigo are you for real" I ask with wide eyes. He nods with a smile and we enter the hotel's lobby.

We sit at the waiting area as I watch Iñigo dial up his aunt.

"Aunt Tipatika! Yeah... I'm fine... You?.. Oh haha... Well, one direction is staying here and... Really?!... Oh... Finally? I'm kidding...okay sorry... Hahaha okay... Okay.... Okay? Okay.... Thanks aunt love you" Iñigo says to the phone.

"What did she say?" I ask. "She said that she'll call the receptionists to let us in" I smiled and nodded and on cue, the doorman let us in.

"Mr. Iñigo?" The doorman asks and he nods as we both entered.

"Iñigo? Dear is that you?" A lovely looking woman at the reception said as we entered. "Yes its me! Hello Joy" Iñigo smiles as we walked to where she was sat. "She's my Auntie's workmate" Iñigo whispered and I nodded.

"Its been such a long time! And boy, have you grown. Is she your girlfriend?" Joy looks at us expectantly and we both shook our heads.

"He's just my best friend" I answered. Iñigo's head fell a little. I guess he's tired or something.

"Iñigo, you're a fan?" Joy asks and Iñigo laughs.

"Not really but Dianne is. Which is what brings us here, actually" Iñigo says. "Well how may I help you?" Joy asks.

"We know they're staying here and we were wondering if we could yaknow like have a little-"

"You want to see them? Is that it?" Joy asks and we nodded.

"Iñigo, Dianne, as much as I would love to help you, I really can't. You need a reservation to be go to any room. I'm sorry but I really can't help. The lobby is as far as you could go" Joy sighed and I dropped my shoulders in defeat. There goes my dreams.

"Its okay Joy thanks for your help." Iñigo says and Joy nods with a sympathetic smile on her face.

We both walked backwards to the couch and sat slowly.

"Well I'm drained." Iñigo says.

"So am I" I whispered as I rested my head on his shoulder.

Iñigo cleared his throat and shifted a little to face me.

"Di?"

"Igo?"

"Do you like me?"

"Of course I do, you're my bestfriend."

"No, I meant like- WOAH DIANNE TURN AROUND"

My head whipped to the side to see what he was pointing at there I saw him.

The love of my life, the reason im smiling, my baby the one and only-

"Wait is that him? Its hard to judge since I only saw the side of his face.." Iñigo says. "OF COURSE THAT'S HIM I even know what his nails look like, believe me" I answered.

"Dianne go to him now. I'll distract the staff or something" Iñigo says in a rush. "Where did he go?" I asked. "He entered the bar thingy" he answered. "But wait I'm scared" I said truthfully.

What do I even say? How do I start the conversation? He's my sunshine, for goodness sake! I'm not calm but I have to be calm or else he'll be weirded out! Im calm I swear tHIS IS ME BEING CALM

"Just be yourself. Believe me, he'll love you... The way I do" Iñigo said, whispering the last part.

"You really think he'll love me like you do?"

"Of course. Now go. What are you waiting for?"

I nodded.

I did my best to casually walk to the bar without getting noticed. It was very hard, mind you. I was wearing a shirt with that man's name on it.

I fortunately made it in without getting noticed. I took in my surroundings and saw that it was more of an arcade/bar than those bars that you see in movies. You know, the dark and gloomy ones.

It was huge, but empty. Hmm. It was also very quiet. Maybe he left... Or maybe that wasn't who I thought he was at all.

I stepped in further, examining the place before I heard someone.

"Ow bloody hell"
