This chapter is so long 🥵 I wanted to split it in two, but on the other hand I didn't want to leave you on a cliffhanger, because I'm being a nice author today 🙃

🎶 Stereo Love — Edward Maya, Vika Jigulina 🎶

New day, new chance. After a very long night out at Pacha, we were now all sat around a table at Blue Marlin, enjoying the live music and atmosphere in combination with the great food. Yesterday was a step forward again with Ruben, as we danced together closely, and heavily made out on the floor, probably much to Carolina's dismay.

And the trouble started there.
"You know, I saw that Mariana's here in Ibiza too. I invited her along to Ushuaia tomorrow" Caro said cheerily as she sipped on her piña colada.
"What the fuck?" Bea hissed at her sister and Ruben just rolled his eyes as he sighed, still holding my hand from the seat next to mine.
"Caro... I'm not interested in your schemes. Soph is here and I just want some nice and calm time, no drama" he huffed as I pressed my lips together.

"She's my friend, Ruben. Almost like a sister. I'd like to see her on my holidays too. Or is the one who pays the one who rules?" she shot at Ruben and I could tell that their arguing had deeper roots.
"No, of course. Go ahead. Just remember that I'm not getting back with her" he said and squeezed my hand before looking over to me with an adoring look that I returned back.

Ruben's parents were throwing each other glares at how childish their kids were behaving, but still, they wanted them to solve this on their own. My parents could never. Once, when I was around seven years old, Alfie hid my Barbie dolls the day before I had invited my friends over - he was dragged by his ears outside of his room by Mum and screamed at him for two whole hours before he finally gave up the hiding place. And he never took any of my toys ever again.

Ruben had taken me out to one of Ibiza's finest restaurants tonight and I hoped that this date could finally close the small cracks that I felt had sprung in our relationship these past few weeks. But every time I looked up at him from my menu to start a conversation about... my feelings, my breath hitched and I stopped myself, not wanting to ruin this night.

"You should try the frita de pulpo, I've heard it's amazing here" Ruben told me and gave me a little smile.
"Ok" I replied with a dreamy, mesmerised voice that I got when I looked at his perfect face. And that's how the whole evening went - we'd talk about superficial stuff and I'd agree with everything he said and he would do the same with everything I said. Not how it had wanted it to go, but at least it didn't end up in a huge argument.
