The Stars // Yoandri Cabrera

9 | Rescue Me

Chapter Nine

Angelia's POV

"And if I fall, hoping its in your arms, I know know know, you'll rescue me," I sing gently as Yoandri gets dressed.

He smiles at me and lifts up a shirt, apparently asking me if I wanted to wear it. I nod once and he throws me the t-shirt.

I go into the bathroom and switch out his sweatpants for my jeans. I tuck in his t-shirt into the waistband and throw on my maroon Vans, taking out the hair elastic from my curls.

I look at the unruly hair on my head and try wetting it with water only to fail. "Oh well," I sigh and walk out the bathroom.

"You got a black beanie?"

Yoyo points to his drawer and I walk over to it, opening the first drawer.

"HAHAHA! I. Can't." I bend over with my hands on my knees and take out the packet of condoms in his drawer. I snort and laugh a bit harder as Yoandri blushes. He glares at me nonetheless.

I laugh putting my hands up in surrender and put them back before going to the second drawer.

Bingo.

I look at the black graphic shirt I had on and choose the one that goes with the look I was looking for. I slide it onto my head and look at Yoandri for approval.

He winks and I nod, "Cool. So what are we doing today?"

He shrugs and a knock appears on the door. Irene comes in and scowls at the mess in the room, "Mi'jo." I laugh at her words and she smiles at me, "What are you guys doing today? We were having a party for the heck of it. Your family is coming over."

I nod and grin, "I'll be here." She claps her hands, "Oh, good. Maybe you can keep Yoandri from flirting with all the girls." I laugh as he blushes and pouts, "Not true."

Irene gives him a kiss and leaves us be. "I think I'll go get ready. Wanna come and help me pick my outfit?" Yoyo nods and grabs my keys. "Let us go."

"What about this one?" I see him look up as I exit the bathroom and he shakes his head, "Nah." I sigh and tell him to pass me my phone.

"I can't do this without music."

He laughs and nods in agreement. I'd Rather Go Blind by Beyoncé comes on and I dance casually. I turn to my closet and pick out a white and black jumpsuit. I smile at it and I turn to Yoandri to see him already behind me with his hand out, "May I have this dance my lady?"

The song ends and Au Revoir by OneRepublic plays gently. I smile and put down the jumpsuit, "Of course, young man." He laughs at my wording and pulls me close, one hand on my waist, the other in my hand, leading me.

He sways me gently to the music and I blush as he peers into my eyes. "You're eyes are this beautiful mix of blue and gray. But also some deep blue and they give me mixed emotions."

I tilt my head, "Good emotions?" He leans forward a little more and nods, "Of course." Yoyo bites his lip and I try not to look at the simple gesture.

He turns me slowly and I fall back into his arms, my breath hitching the in the slightest bit. Yoandri wraps his arms around me tightly and I take a deep breath, his beautiful dark chocolate eyes flittering around my face.

"Don't."

He stops swaying me and whispers, "Don't ask me to do something I can't do. We've been through this." I exhale and he brushes our lips together unexpectedly.

My breath shudders as he picks me off my feet and just as I am going to give into the temptation, someone opens the door.

"Guys?" I take a step out of his arms and clear my throat. We separate after a longing look and I breathe out, tucking hair into my ears.

My mother finally looks up and says, "We are almost leaving so get ready." We take deep breaths and look at each other.

"Of course, mother."

My mom smiles and says, "Okay honey."

We arrive at Yoandri's house, and I smile at the texts we have been sharing ever since he left my house. He took my car, and he's been harassing it ever since.

Once my family and I are inside his house, I spot him in the kitchen. I walk up to him and lean on the island. I jut out my hip, "It smells like Spring & Renewal Febreze." He snorts, "It smells like candy."

I roll my eyes and frown, "Whatever makes you happy." He entangles his arms around me and kisses my cheek, "Fine. Febreze." I smile and hug him back.

"Hey, Yoandri."

We both turn to see a girl our age, smiling brightly at Yoyo. I smile at her and look down at our intertwined bodies. I let go of his grip and wink as I walk away. He pouts but goes with the girl anyway.

I chuckle a bit and get a bottle of water from one of the coolers. Somehow I end up smacking into a chest on the way back up.

"Hey," I look up, a bit startled, and smile. "Hello."

The guy was taller than me and looked around my age and had chocolate brown eyes. "I'm Joel." I smile and manage to escape from his grip.

"I'm Angelia and have to go, but thank you for rescuing me." He laughs and smiles. "Of course."

I walk off in the other direction with a small smile and soon a girl comes up to me.

"Stay away from Yoandri."

I hold in a snort and place a hand over my heart, "I'm so scared." She glares at me and I sigh, looking away before looking back at her. "Look. He's my best friend. You can't just tell me to stay away because that would be a shitty thing to do. So no thanks."

She snarls and I turn the other way, going to go talk with some of Yoyo's family members that I knew. I smile at Joel just as Tocando Fondo by Kalimba comes on. I look around and all the couple and non couples find someone to dance with.

I sigh and sit down on the couch only to be lifted off the seat two seconds later.

"So we meet again."

I smile once again at Joel and he grins down at me. "You have the most beautiful eyes. Has anyone ever told you that?" I shrug and say, "Frequently."

He smiles and I say, "So what's your connection with this family?" Joel sighs, "I'm Yoandri's cousin." I nod and say, "Oh. That makes sense." He nods, "What about you?" I get spun around before I answer, "Yoandri's my-"

I get interupted by a raspy voice, "She's my girlfriend."
