I sit down on the stairs looking at Hu try talking to a girl.

"I'm dead he can't even get her number." Alex says from besides me he had his arms crossed while leaning against the wall.

"And you can?" I ask which he smirks at and pushes himself off the wall.

"Rora I can watch." He walks towards them but immediately turns around and comes back to me.

"What happened?" I ask, he laughs and crosses his arms. "The girl has a boyfriend." My eyes widen as I look back and see a boy come up behind Hu.

I get up and walk over to Hu grabbing his arm pulling him away from the girl. He looks at me then looks up at the guy with wide eyes.

"God thanks buttercup." He places a kiss on my head and wraps his arm around my shoulder as we walk upstairs.

I walk downstairs to the kitchen and sit down on the counter grabbing a strawberry from the plate mom had put them on.

"So miel, we were thinking you'd finally meet the family." Rafael says. I look up at him with a smile. "Really?!"

He smiles and nods. "Yes honey." I jump off the counter and run up to him hugging him. He hugs me back then we let go and I sit back on the counter.

"So when is the fam bam coming?" Andre asks while taking one of the strawberries. I smile and dip mine in nutella, something Marco said I'd love. Which he was right, it's amazing. I grab another strawberry and take a bite out of it when I get a text on my phone.

Sleeping beauty

BUTTERCUP ANSWER ME PLEASE!!
ITS URGENT HURRY!!
PLEASE!

I pick up my phone and look at it, my eyes widening and I immediately answer.

Is everything okay??
Hu answer me please!!

Three little bubbles appear on the bottom then disappear. I bit my lip nervously, was he okay?

A GIRL ASKED ME OUT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!

I let go of the breath I didn't even know I was holding. I was scared something had happened to him, I was scared. So scared. I'm just glad he's okay, I'm glad nothing happened to him.

Tell her yes.
And you nearly scared me to death.
Sorry..I was nervous.
You okay though?
Yes, I am now.

After saying our goodbyes I put my phone up and look at the plate of strawberries which was nearly gone due to Andres eating them all. I frown and look at him as he put another strawberry in his mouth.

"Sorry R but nutella and strawberries are amazing." He says and I frown.

"B-but you ate all of them." He looks down at the plate then laughs.

"You eat to slow.." He then continues to eat his last strawberry he had. "No.."

"Aquí, cariño, solo para ti." I smile at mom as she places some more strawberries. "Gracias madre." I lean over and kiss her cheek.

(Here honey, just for you.)

"Anything for you mi amor." She says with a smile.

I place my backpack down on the bed and collapse on it. I feel so exhausted from school. I love it and I love the people. But the homework and papers they give us it's draining. I have three papers due today, and as much as I love school I never had to do this much. I was homeschooled and I never had to do this much. But then again homeschooling is different then regular public schooling.

I cover myself with my blanket and look at the ceiling. My eyes getting heavier by the minute and before I knew it I fell asleep.

"WAKE UO SLEEPING BEAUTYY!" Someone yells into my ear. My eyes widen and I shoot up in the air, holding my heart.

I look around and see Andres along with Alex. "Y-y'all almost killed me.." They both laugh and high five each other. I lay back down and cover my face with my covers.

"Sorry R but it's time to get your ass up." Alex says. I poke my head out and frown at him. "Okay okay sorry for using a bad word, now get up." I nod my head no and close my eyes again.

I hear my door open and footsteps then I hear the door close. I smile knowing they left and I can finally get sleep.

That was until I feel the bed sink, I sit up and look at the boys. Only it wasn't the boys it was Antonio.

"Ant.." He smiles.

"Hey angel, how'd you sleep?" He asks. I smile.

"I slept good up until Andres decided to scream in my ear." He scoots closer and his hand comes up to my cheek caressing it.

"I'm sorry he did that Rory." I look in his eyes my heart breaking by that one simple word. I couldn't no didn't want to tell him. I couldn't tell anyone, it hurt to much to talk about.

A knock interrupted my thinking. Antonio scoots back but kisses my cheek before he does as the door opens.

"Hey honey-" her attention turns to Antonio and she smiles. "And Antonio, dinner will be ready soon." Mom says, I nod. She winks at me and closes the door.

I grab my covers and hide my blushing face with them. Antonio laughs and picks me up setting me down on his lap. If it's possible I'm blushing even more. I look into his eyes as he does to mine.

Before I know it my lips are on his. Already loving the feeling of ours lips together, me not wanting to pull away.

I've never felt this way before.
