American Tan (Latina FanFic)

Marinas

Marinas POV:

Hey Lana, so I know you might be wondering why I just cut you off randomly.." I said.

I saw Lana's face turn white. I know this was a topic we were both avoiding, but it had to be brought up so she could understand.

"oh yeah , I was hoping you wouldn't bring that up" she said nervously.

"Okay well I'll just be straight up. Remember when I was dating Jack? He used to be very jealous of you, he thought we were more than friends. It got to the point where he would hit me because his anger mixed up with his jealousy. I didn't want anything to happen to you so I decided to cut you off so he had no way of finding you. I'm sorry."

I started to tear up. I closed my eyes trying to fight back tears and felt a soft hand on my wrist.

"Hey love, it's okay. I understand you did this to protect both of us. Now, I assume since we're here that means you guys aren't together anymore. Right?"

I wiped away my tears and smiled.

"Yes, I left him a few months ago. I've been wanting to contact you since then but didn't know how to since I disappeared randomly and never bothered giving you an explanation, I'm so sorry"

Lana then came and sat next to me and gave me a tight hug . We kept chatting a bit after that and soon our food came. While we were almost done eating we were both smiling and didn't notice the crowd that was starting to form around the restaurant.

"Lord look" Lana said.

I looked outside and I froze. I hated paparazzi so much, it made me anxious.

I felt Lana put her hand on my wrist again and looked at me.

"When we leave, I won't let anyone lay a finger on you, okay? I know how much you hate paparazzi. And it's only a matter of time until pictures of us are all over the internet. "

"Lord I know" I said laughing.

Lana was kind and payed for our meal. As we were about to talk out the door I felt her grab my waist as she walked behind me. As soon as we stepped out, flashes started going off. I put my hand over my eyes trying to see where I was going as I saw security from the restaurant clear out the way and walk us to my car. Lana never let go of me once until she opened the driver side door and I got in. She closed the door and hurriedly walked to the passenger side and got in.

once she locked the doors I let out a sigh, paparazzi is exhausting. Lord I wish I had one day where there were no cameras anywhere near me.

Lana's POV:

as we finally got in the car, I checked my phone to see Chuck had texted me apologizing for what had happened earlier. Before I could answer Marina broke the silence.

"Hey we should go back to my place, I'm writing some music and I'd love for you to hear it! If you're not busy of course." She said looking at the steering wheel.

"Yeah of course, I'd love to!" I said smiling. She let out a deep breath and looked at me with a smile. She turned the car on and we were on our way to her house.

Once we were there she opened the car door for me.

"Well thank you, Ms. Diamandis" I said giggling. She smiled and walked to the front door. Once she opened it I walked in as she closed the door behind us. I ran to her piano to play a few keys as she ran and sat next to me and we started playing the great gatsby. After a little we agreed on working on her songs together.

(Forward like 2 hours later)

after we decided to put the music down for the rest of the day, we agreed on watching a show. We put on one of the most childish shows which is Young Sheldon. We started the first episode and I felt myself getting tired. Not long after I felt Marina rest her head on my chest. I cuddled with her and we drifted off to sleep.
