Best Part || Jamie Flatters

Valeria Castro

The past two days have just been horrible.

Jamie has ghosted me completely, but I can't even complain much I haven't tried to text or call him either.

What's made it even worse is that Andrés, my brother who was supposed to be in England playing football for the rest of the month and part of November, came to visit until the weeding because he sprained his ankle. He's noticed my sulking. I didn't tell him why though. He would have been teasing me and would have definitely called Jamie just to tease him too.

They only joined together to tease me, Jamie would give in and apologize first always. Andrés would then tease him about that. They still for some reason exchanged numbers but Andrés was mad at him when I was so they didn't talk and Jamie didn't try to talk to him. I only told him a week ago we were friends again. I have no idea if they've talked but I hope they haven't.

I'm eating breakfast now with Andrés talking my ear off on his adventures where he got high and annoyed the shit out of people. I've tried to listen to him, genuinely. But I can't.

Jamie and I didn't even get to say goodbye because my flight got delayed and Jamie almost missed his. I feel a shove at my shoulder and I turn to look at Andrés.

"What?" He's taken aback at my sudden sharp tone and puts his hands up before turning back to his bowl of cereal. "Fucks wrong with you?" He asks sassily before taking a bite.

I sigh. "If I tell you, you have to promise not to tease or tell anyone." I hold my pinky up to him, I wait for him to finish chewing. "Is it bad?" I shake my head no. He interlocks his pinky with mine. I pull my hand away. I look around to make sure mom is still sleeping.

"A couple days ago after all of us got back from dinner-"

"Who's all of us?" I glare at him for interrupting me but answer anyways, "Jamie, Trinity, Bailey, and Jack." He nods for me to continue while taking another bite of his cereal.

"Jamie and I were walking to our hotel rooms and we were hugging one last time because we didn't know if we were gonna see each other in the morning." Andrés squints and starts to smirk. "When he like pulled away he was really close to my face and we almost... kissed." I pause to gauge his reaction, he chokes on his cereal.

"Was it like a bumped heads or your head turned at the moment he was kissing your cheek?" He asks after coughing for a minute. "No it was like five minutes of us staring at each other and getting closer and closer, and we were so close but mom called me and ruined it." I groan at the memory of how embarrassed and awkward Jamie looked. I put my face in my hands.

"Well you sound disappointed it didn't happen." I peek to look at Andrés who's fully turned to me, he raises his eyebrows at me. "You wanted it to happen." He simply states and I put my face back in my hands. He shakes my body and starts laughing at me.

"You promised not to tease!" I almost yell into my hands.

"I'm not! I'm just happy you guys finally stopped being idiots." I snap my head towards him. "What?" I say confused.

"It was so obvious you guys liked each other every time I visited you on set, and every other time I was around you guys. Jamie has like these sparkles in his eyes when he looks at you, it's cute I guess." I just stare at him with my mouth slightly open.

"You didn't notice? At all?" I shake my head.

"Well you're a little stupid so..." I smack his head and he winces.

I look down at my plate of fruit.

"He hasn't called or texted." I say quietly. "You know Jamie more than anyone Vale. You know why he hasn't called or texted."
