I'm so sure she likes me. She has to right? She wanted me to kiss her the last time I saw her. Right? Sure I've been staring at her the past hour we've been in this car, but she's also been looking at me a lot.

But what I don't get is, she saw the text, she left me on seen. But she hasn't mentioned it at all. If she felt the same the whole time she would have told me no?

I'm so confused. I don't even know how we got into this position. We were completely fine with just being friends, then we're hugging before we both leave and suddenly my hearts beating faster, I have my hand on her face, I'm leaning closer, and she is not stopping me.

I love Valeria's mom, I really do but I wish she waited at least fifteen minutes. I wanted to kiss her, god I really wanted to kiss Valeria.

I look up at the rear view mirror and make eye contact with Valeria again. This time she holds eye contact, unlike the other few times where she's looked away immediately. She tilts her head the slightest bit and squints her eyes in amusement. I look back to the road in front of us.

"So how's your mom? Is she nervous yet?" I ask both Valeria and Andrés.

"Oh yeah. Last time you asked she was bottling up, just yesterday she told us how nervous she was." Valeria answers. I chuckle softly.

"And when do I get to meet this Daniel?"

"Well he might be at the house today. I don't know though, mom said he might work until late." Andrés answers this time. I nod.

We pull up to the restaurant we decided to eat at and we all get out of the car.

Through out the whole late lunch it's the same as in the car. I even catch myself glancing at her lips as she talks, involuntarily. I don't think she's caught me. She's usually looking at her food while she talks.

When we finally get to the house, Andrés helps me take my bags to the guest bedroom then he helps Bailey take her bags to Valeria's bedroom. I said I would stay at a hotel so Bailey could have the guest bedroom but both Valeria and Bailey insisted they could just put a mattress in Valeria's room for Bailey to sleep on.

They'll get tired of sleeping in the same room at some point and beg me to switch. Just wait. It's happened numerous times. I've been rudely awaken by one of them and dragged to a room just because they get tired of each others sleeping habits. Bailey apparently sleep kicks if they sleep in the same bed, or she sleep talks, Valeria stays up all night watching videos on her phone while Bailey is trying to sleep, and my favorite, Valeria's snoring.

I've slept in the same room with Valeria enough times to know her snores are really not that loud, you can only hear them really if she's sleeping face up, she's sick, or you're laying right next to her. Bailey however is a light sleeper so she wakes up at any small noise, that's when I'm woken up and asked to switch.

It's only Monday but I'll give them until Friday. By then either Valeria's going to be sleeping in the guest bedroom with me or I'm going to be sleeping in her room.

Speaking of Valeria, she barges into the room without knocking and drags me by the wrist to her room where Bailey is already sitting on a mattress on the floor. Not a single word is uttered. Then I'm being pushed to sit on Valeria's bed while she shuts the door.

"Okay..." Is all I say. I decide to get comfortable on Valeria's bed. My shoes are already off so I just push myself up to sit against the head board, I also hug one of her many stuffed animals to my chest.

"Why was I just dragged without a choice out of my room?" I ask finally flapping the ears of the bunny stuffed animal I'm holding.

"I need your advice." Valeria finally says pacing back and forth at the end of her bed. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and concern, I look at Bailey who also has a concerned written all over her face.
