Its 3.55 am. You and Enrique are sitting on the couch facing the balcony of his London hotel and it was the last night of his Europe tour.
You’re sipping black coffee when he looks at you and says ‘I can’t wait for you to come home with me tomorrow. You have to meet 2 special people’ Knowing Enrique, he loves to keep surprises and he won’t tell you who those people are at any cost so you just give up and smile at him then say ‘Okay! Sounds interesting. Ugh, this coffee isn’t even working. I’m really sleepy.’ And within 5 minutes you fall asleep in his arms,on the couch.
You wake up in the morning,on the bed. And he’s walking out of the bathroom,in a towel just after finishing his shower, singing something in Spanish. Mesmerized by his voice you don’t realise that he’s staring right at you. When you do realise, you smile, a little embarrassed. He’s telling you to get ready, the flight is in 2 hours. You oblige and get up, to go have a bath.
At around 4 p.m the flight lands in Miami and you’ll head straight to his house. Tired because of the journey, you fall asleep in the car. After a while, you feel the car stopping and then you hear dogs barking. And then your fear comes true. Enrique has already stepped out of the car and opened your door. Lucas and Jack come running to him, and then, they come towards you. You scream loudly and then defensively cover your face with your face with your hands. He realises, that you don’t like dogs and immediately gets a hold of them just before they pounce on you. He calls someone who comes out of the house and takes then away. You move your hands away from your face and he notices that you’re crying, even shivering a little. Alarmed by this, he wraps you in his arms. ’ I’m so so sorry, its all my fault,I should have asked you, its okay if you don’t like them, I’m here now, its fine’ he kept mumbling in your hair while you just hugged him tight. Partially because you were scared but also because you loved how it felt. I’m sorry about that’, you say ’ I know they’re really important to you but I’ve always been scared of dogs, since I was a kid,I don’t think I can ever get used to them’ His face drops a little when you day that. Thinking about the fact the two most important parts of his life, will never get along. ‘its alright babe, I guess I can manage to live with that. As long as I have you, its fine’ he then helped you get up,held your hand and walked with you towards the house, finally getting used to the fact that maybe it wasn’t that big of a deal.
