Carmen's Pov
"So where are you taking me?" I laughed as he took me downstairs. You could still hear the people screaming.
He shook his head and said" Wait and watch"
The way he bites his lips when he looks down.
Dayum.
"So you are taking me to the boys' changing room huh?"
"What ??Noo..I mean I need to change first"
He blushed. I am fucking dreaming right now.
We entered the room.Safe to say everybody stopped.
Well sweaty boys who just played soccer?
My bestfriend would have given them 13/10 low key.
They did look hot and I know they are watching me in Romeo's arms.
Great.
He put me down. He introduced me already to them in the cafeteria so it wasn't really needed I guess.
The guy who introduced himelf as Mike to me in the afternoon smirked.
"Really Romeo, she won't be that impressed with us in the showers man!"
I blushed. What the fuck.
Romeo chucked the bottle at him.
"Shut up bitch!"
They laughed. Romeo turned to me."I will take five minutes. Is that fine?" He is almost smirking.
I swear I am going to slap him. What does he think? Half naked guys make me scared or nervous?I mean they sometimes do not like I will ever admit that to him though.
" Ya sure. Unless these guys act perverted"The boys started laughing. That is the thing with me.I am goddamn cool with guys which always ends up in some sort of drama. You get it.
He messed his hair and went to change. Mike turned towards me.
"It is great to have you back. Romeo was a pain in the ass when you shifted."
So they don't know. So he suffered.I smiled guiltily.
Only I know how guilty am I.Romeo entered staring at me obviously surprised. I smiled showing everything is fine. Mike threw his hands up laughing.
"Bro she is your girl."
Romeo stiffened. Your girl.
He looked at me warily. I turned away pretending as if I didn't notice.
My heart is pounding.Your girl.
"Ready?" He asked picking up his bag.
"Oh..yeah" I nodded as he told his mates bye.
----------------------------------------------------
"So where exactly are we going?Can I trust you?"
Yep I am asking this to a guy who saved my life
He has been driving for quite a long time now and it was getting dark.
" Just right here."
He cut the engine and motioned to me to look at the left.
I turned.
What?
The waves rolled off and the sky blazed with stars.It was beautiful like those moments you get once and you want to keep holding on forever. Because in this lifetime we are always racing and we never stop.
The horizon was still a bit light as if the sun was kissing the water. I stepped out. I heard Romeo step out but it didn't register.
I didn't have any words to speak.
For the third time this boy with olive skin and brown eyes has made me speechless.
There were coven caves around and it was pindrop silent save the waves crashing on the shore.
" Welcome to El Matador beach"
"It's beautiful" I whispered afraid to break the silence. He was standing next to me.
The shadows fell on him.
He is elegance and euphoria and for once I wanted to be the girl he had fallen in love with. Not the one right now hurting him with every word.
"Dad use to get mom here ....away from media I guess. You know..their safe haven?"
"Cute..how did you know?"
"They got us here for one of their anniversary."
"Oh!" I didn't have anything to say.
He loved this place. That I could see.
"What does the name mean?"
I asked bewildered.
He looked out at the horizon and then turned towards me. As the waves rolled back he said the meaning ever so softly.
"Hopeless romantic."
I heard it loud and clear .It echoed long after he said and walked towards the car to get his phone. I knew what he meant, why he got me here.
This was his hideaway. Where he could escape the world and he brought me here. Because in hundred different ways this place was a reminder of me to him, a reminder of who we were before I left.
"Hey, I got us dinner..you wanna help set it?" He shouted from the car.
"How did you?"
"Oh When you were chatting with your mom, I kind of brought it from the drive through. You were busy..."
Shit. I am so daft.
"Yeah..sorry..where do you want to eat?"
"Carmen the caves..check the third one."
"Kay...." I peeped inside.
It had a dim lighting and there were enough space for two to sit.
He entered holding a duffle bag.
"Take out the stuff"
He started opening the food.
Holy god. There was a mat,water,everything basically.
I looked at him curious.
"Brooklyn and I keep going out at night to do crap"
Damn these brothers.
Five minutes later we were sitting next to each other watching the ocean and having takeouts.
"Thank you"
" I thought you'd be bored at home. It is alright'
He looked nervous maybe??
"Romeo?"
"Yep!"
"Tell me..anything that you remember of me"
He watched me surprised and then he smiled.
"Oh you were once trying to crack an egg and god knows how you kind of ended up splattering it all over your face. God,you should have seen yourself."
He laughed, his laugh echoeing.
"No way!" I slapped him on the shoulder.
That was fucking embarassing.
"Oh and you once...."
"Shut up!" I scolded him playfully getting up.
"I am going for a swim..you coming?"
"Nah I am fine. My muscles are stretched..though I 'll just take a dip."
I felt shy at first but then I removed my shirt and went in with my shorts.
Romeo was watching me.I could feel his eyes.
I turned. He was only in his trunks. God this guy.
-----------------------------------------------------
Romeo's pov.
Fuck.
She is so fucking beautiful it is taking me every stupid decency I have in me to stop myself from going and kissing her.
She turned,her eyes running across my body.
This turns me on somehow.
Romeo control.
Shut the fuck up brain.
I don't know why I brought her here tonight. I just wanted to be with her since the whole day she is with that asshole.
-----------------------------------------------------
3 am
We crash in through the door soaking wet. It had started raining and she had started throwing mud at me.
Yeah so 1:30 am we were having a full blown mudfight and I knew that I was trapped for sure.
Fallen right there for this broken but perfect girl again.
This time I knew there was no lying to myself.
We chatted the whole way singing green day songs that were playing on the radio.
I almost felt as if she was back.
"Asshole, there is a letter for you!"
I grinned. I like that. When she abuses me it is hella cute.
I saw the logo on the letter and stopped short.
What the fuck!
I tore it open.
Dear Mister Romeo,
We are glad to have you join us in the Arsenal academy from the 6th of July....
I didn't bother reading ahead. After all these years. She looked at paper for sometime and screamed.
Okay, neighbours are not gonna like that.
That is if we had neighbours.
"Omg...ARSENAL SERIOUSLY?"
She hugged me. I stood there thrown off guard for a second. And then I hugged her back wishing I could crash every bit of me into every bit of her.
She won't remember but it was her who wanted me to join arsenal at the first place.
I smiled hugging her still.
"We should catch some sleep"
She whispered her head buried in my chest.
"Yeah"
I let her go unwillingly.
We climbed up.
She came in to say goodnight.
----------------------------------------------------
Carmen's pov
Tonight was amazing.
I went to tell him goodnight.
We hugged shortly. On his wall there were dates written till fouth of july.
That is wierd. One week was left for it.
I turned about to shut the door when my eyes fell on a postit stuck to the wall.
our lives dont collide and I am aware of it.
Differences and impulses your obsession with little things.
I don't give a fuck. I am not giving up. I still want it all
It was a lyrics I knew so well. He had modified it and I had a feeling why as I walked out.
