Lost in Your Eyes | Enrique Iglesias

Chapter 12

While Enrique is gone to the market to buy some last things for the pool party, you get some bites of food quickly before you go change.With your favorite bikini suit under, you put on a short, summer dress with flowers imprinted on it. In a hurry, you put your hair up in a bun that turns out to look nice, then head to the kitchen to start preparing the snacks for the guests.

''Is there a day when you don't look amazing?'' Enrique says, making you jump at the sudden sound of his voice; you didn't hear him come back. You smile and give him a peck on the lips before he heads for the shower. Soon, his father, Julio Iglesias would arrive (and go before the others come) and you feel both nervous and excited. 

** 

''I will miss you a lot'' you say sadly. Julio was now gone, leaving you content that he felt so comfortable and enjoyed your time together. He seemed to be a genuine man. 

''I will miss you too my love'' he says as he moves one piece of hair away from your face. ''But we have to be strong, three months will go fast hopefully. You just have to find something to do everyday and keep your mind off it'' he continues. He makes it sound so easy, when it actually really isn't. 

''Why does this feel so difficult?'' you ask. You are truly concerned as to how you will get to spend so much time away from the man you actually have gotten to love.  

''I'm sorry , baby girl. They just think it's better for us to do so..I'm sorry''  he says with a sad tone. ''But for now, let's just enjoy this day we've got together''. 

You hug him tightly, hearing his heart pump against yours as your chests are stuck like magnets.

Enrique's friends are nice to you; they are fun to be around and they make you laugh until tears form in your eyes and you no longer can breathe. 

''Ay Enrique lots of stuff happened last night eh?'' David, one of Enrique's friends asks as he sees him take off his shirt to jump in the pool. 

Confused, Enrique looks at you. 

''Oh..'' you say, your cheeks turning pink at the sight. 

''It's my back isn't it?'' Enrique says, realizing what David meant. 

''Damn, these wild summer nights, huh?'' David says as he takes a sip of his cold beer.

The empty feeling in yours stomach does not let you eat, nor think about anything else but the fact that Enrique is leaving soon; too soon. 

''It'll be fine'' he says as he sees the look on your face. 

''I know I will be fine. It's just difficult, that's all''.  

''You will get to see your mother'' he says on a more positive note. 

''I can't wait, that is probably the best thing of these upcoming three months'' you say. ''But..what if you forget about me? You know, with all the busy schedules, lots of fans, venues to visit?'' 

''You can't be serious now'' he responds, his face showing a bit of disappointment. He does not want you to think like that. 

''What if you will fall in love with someone else?'' you ask without thinking. As soon as the words come out of your mouth, you want to take them back. 

''Do you even hear what you are saying? Do you trust me?'' he says, obviously not pleased with the childish questions you're asking. 

''Yes'' 

''Then why are you asking such things?'' he asks. ''I go on tour because I love what I do, I love my fans...every single one of them. I go on tour to do my job, not to look for women, or for someone in particular'' he continues, making you feel embarrassed by what you asked earlier. ''Plus, I already have someone and she is perfect in every possible way''. 

''I am sorry'' you say genuinely. ''But please text me or call me whenever you can''. 

''I promise. Not a day will go without calling you''. 

''I love you''. 

''I love you too, baby girl''.  

Enrique: I love you too! he says kissing your forehead

The plane that takes off at 12am, so you and Enrique wake up early to have breakfast together, then head to the airport. 

While he holds you tight one last time for the following three months, it feels heavy on your heart to let go, but you have to accept it. He kisses you one last time; a long, sweet kiss. Before disappearing out of sight, he turns around to meet your eyes and mouth an ''I love you'' to you.  

''I love you'' you say as you put your hand on your chest. 

Three months might not sound much to others, but to someone who is in love it feels like an infinity.
