"Here" I said, giving him his water.

"Gracias."

I rested on the couch and used his lap as a pillow. We are officially back in LA, at his house, to be exact.

I asked him to drop me off at my aunt's house when we arrived, but he offered that we go to his house first for a rest before he drives me back to my aunt's place. Of course, I agreed, because why wouldn't I? It's my chance to spend more time with him, even though we are basically doing nothing.

He has been talking with someone over the phone when we arrive at his house, so I just stayed silent and read some manga on my phone. It sounds important, but I never really paid attention enough to understand what they were talking about. He started rubbing my chin after a while. His hand smells amazing, too. His stroking is calming, and I suddenly felt sleepy.

I put down my phone and closes my eyes.

"Are you tired?" I heard him asked and I nodded. 

"Sleep. I'll wake you up later."

I don't recall how long I dozed off, but when I opened my eyes, his face was next to mine, literally. He was next to me, focused on his phone. I just stared at him without moving. It didn't take long for him to realize I was awake. He probably noticed I was staring.

He looks at me and said, "Hello."

I didn't answer, instead hugged him on the waist. I can't help it. Given my past experience, I'm not even sure when we will see each other or if we will ever get to see each other again. I don't even know if he like likes me.

Although he hasn't said anything, I'm very certain I made it clear to him that I like him. Me hugging him right now is even a sign, and I don't even remember the last time I hugged my parents. It's just awkward hugging them for me. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents, but I just don't like hugging them.

"What time is it?" I asked. 

"Around four."

"It's getting late. I need to go." But I was too lazy to get up, so I didn't get up and cuddled with him.

"Bonita, you need to get up so we can go."

"Five minutes" I said before yawning, 

I unwillingly got up after a while, and he drove me back to my aunt's place. 

I knocked on the door, and almost immediately, the door opened, and we saw Kayla with her woke-up-like-this look.

"Oh shit!" She exclaimed before closing the door real quick.

"Is she?" He ask and I look at his reaction. He has a slightly shock look on his face. I chuckled.

"Yup. That's just her no-make-up-face. Come in." I opened the door and we both walk inside.

He never saw Kayla without her makeup on or her eyebrows drawn, even when she lived at his house during our trip. She won't come out of her room without fixing her eye brows and putting on mascara. I'm used to it, but for someone who isn't used to seeing her without her eyebrows drawn, it'll look a bit weird to them.

"Tita! I'm back!" 

Tita was walking down the stairs. She smiled, and I thought she was going to hug me, but she walked past me as soon as she got down and went straight to hugging Beni.

"How are you, iho? Thank you for taking care of my daughter and my niece. Come, I just cooked some snacks. You have to try them. Mia iha, close the door." she said before dragging Beni to the kitchen. I guess she's more excited to see him than her own niece.

I close the door and put my luggage to the side before following them to the kitchen and I saw Beni eating a turon.

"Uy, turon." I was about to grab one, but she suddenly grabbed the plate away from me. 

"Wash your hand first and get the juice on the fridge." she said and Beni chuckled. 

When Tita turned around, I smacked him on the back before heading to the sink to wash my hands. I got the juice box from the fridge and cups for us and set them on the table.

Beni left before dinner because he had to go somewhere. I was a little disappointed because he wouldn't be able to come along with us to the airport tomorrow because of work.

Not long after Beni left, someone interrupted my chika time with Kayla. We were chatting in her room when the door suddenly opened. (Chika means gossip)

"B*tch! You're here!"

"B*tch! I'm here" I excitedly said, and I got up to hug him. 

Oh my gosh! It's been so long since I saw him. I wasn't able to see him before we went to PR because he was out of town.

"I missed you. How are you?" I asked while hugging his arm and pulling him to sit down. I really missed Miguel.

"Still looking sexy and gorgeous as ever," he responded, which made us laugh. He does look sexy and gorgeous.

He urged eagerly, "So, tell me everything. I heard some info's from your cuz, but I want to hear more from you. Any juicy info to share? What stage are you guys at? "

Kayla chimed in, "Oooh, don't tell me you did the deed." 

Both of them looked at me with pure excitement.

"We didn't." I said straight up.

"Of course, you didn't." She said and their face drops and then they looked at me, like it wasn't such a shocker.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I mean, we could've done it if I wanted to. I can seduce him." I said in confidence.

He chuckled and said, "Girl, not gonna lie, but I've known you for less than a year, and I already know the type of person you are." 

I wanted to argue with him, but he's right. I don't even have the courage to confess to him. I'll probably die of embarrassment and possibly overthinking before I can even seduce him.

"So, since s*x definitely did not happen, did you two at least kiss?" he asked. 

"Does a kiss on the cheek count?" I asked, and then they looked at me with pity before hugging me at the same time.

I know, right? Even I pity myself. I mean, nothing really happened. Maybe I'm just not his type. Maybe he noticed my advances but pretended not to. I can't find out the answer unless I ask him, but I'm too much of a coward to ask him anything.

"I am quite shocked that he hasn't made a move on you yet. I mean, I honestly feel that he likes you, like in a romantic way. I noticed it while we were still in PR. After all, this is the Bad Bunny we are talking about." Kayla said.

"Maybe he's not that type of guy that the media portrays him to be." I reasoned, and then they both started laughing. I

"Stop it you two. He's just being a gentleman. After all, why would we even do those type of stuff when we're not even together."  I rolled my eyes at them in annoyance. I mean, he's such a sweet sweet guy.

"Oh, honey. You are such a virgin." Kayla commented. 

"Honey, we're talking about the Bad Bunny. He's not exactly the type of guy who, let's just say, stays still." Miguel added.

"So, what are you trying to say?" I asked. 

"He don't like you." Miguel flat-out said.

"Whatever. Anyway, I think I made myself clear that I like him." He really had to say that out loud. 

They both gave me an unconvinced look. Okay, change topic. 

"Enough about me. Let's talk about Kayla. Kayla is the one who has a juicy info to tell?"

She attempted to leave after saying, "No comment" but we grabbed her and dragged her to sit down.

Gossiping about other people's relationship is much much more interesting.
