Valerie's P.O.V.
I had noticed Joel starring but I didn't say anything, but I guess Yoandri noticed too and decided to say something about it. Just great! Exactly what I needed. Yoandri: "Joel why are you starring at her?" I looked up at him and he was blushing. Joel: "I'm not!" Yoandri: "Yeah, sure whatever" he began to laugh. Joel: "Yoandri shut up!" Yoandri and I both laughed. Yoandri: "Well Ima head out, just came to check up on you two." Joel: "There was no need for you to do that." Joel sounded pissed. Yoandri: "Alright Potato looks like you got mad so I'll leave. Bye Valerie see you later." He smiled and I smiled back. Valerie: "Bye." He walked out and closed the door behind him. An awkward silence filled the room until I decided to break the silence. Valerie: "Hey, are you okay?" He looked up and tried to smile. Well if he were to be faking a smile he's actually pretty good at it. Joel: "Yeah, why?" Valerie: "Well after Yoandri said something about you starring you seemed pissed." Joel: " Umm... He could play around sometimes but anyways are you hungry?" So it seemed like he didn't want to talk about it, okay no biggy. Valerie: "Oh okay and kind of but it's time for me to head back to my room" I got up and opened the door. "I'll umm... see you later, I hope?" It came out more like of a question. Joel: "Are you sure? I mean I could make you something so you won't leave with an empty stomach." I laughed at his cuteness. What? Focus! Valerie: "I'm sure but thank you." I walked out seeing Monica half awake. Monica: "Hey!" She sounded drunk but she wasn't. Valerie: "Hey, how'd you sleep?" Monica: "It didn't feel like I slept at all. How about you?" I looked up at Joel and smiled then looked back at Monica. Valerie: "I slept great!" She grinned.Monica: "Hmm... and why is that?" She smirked. Valerie: "I don't know, I just slept great that's all." Monica: "Sure, and you slept in Joel's room with him?" Joel: "Yes, she slept in my room with me on the same bed." He smiled and Monica grinned. Valerie: "Que? Why those ugly faces?" Joel and I laughed. Monica: "Excuse me? Umm... to be clear these faces aren't ugly. They are flawless and blessed so Mija thank God you get to see these faces because they are rare in humanity and I don't think you see them everyday!" Joel and I laughed even harder. Valerie: "Yeah, sure whatever you say. But I don't think I'm blessed seeing your face every single day. That is just a part a life now and I can't do anything about it." Monica: "Ouch!" She pretended to be hurt. Valerie: " Alright let's go back before you get in your feelings." Monica: "No, let's go before YOU start catching feelings." Okay, she got me but I didn't say anything. It was true I did start catching feelings. I just met him and I'm falling for him. Is that even possible? I mean I did hear about love at first sight but never thought it was possible. He may not feel the same way. Oh well I can't do nothing about it now. For all I know he may or may not be single. He may like someone. All this thinking started to give me a headache. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Joel's voice. Damn his voice sends chills down my spine. I need to lose these "feelings" but quick. Joel: "Hey, Valerie are you okay?" Valerie: "Huh? Uh.. Yeah I'm okay." Monica: "Joel she's fine she probably was thinking of you" I felt my face warming up and I looked over at Joel. He was blushing as well. Valerie: "Would you shut up?! I mean I do notice the way you look at Yoandri!" It made Joel laugh but it made her stay quiet. At first I shouldn't have said anything because I know she'll get me back. But so do I. When it comes to revenge I usually end up winning because I have my evil little ways. Monica: "Valerie Deleon Hernandez you got me this time but I recommend to watch your back." She tried not to laugh but failed. Valerie: "Is that supposed to scare me?" Monica: "Whatever lets just get going I need a long bath." She got up and headed towards the door. I faced Joel and smiled. Valerie: "Well thank you for letting us stay here over night. I really do appreciate it." Joel: "Anytime! And could we exchange numbers to someday hang out again?" He scratched the back of his head. He seemed nervous. Valerie: "Yeah, of course!" We exchanged numbers and when I looked at his name he added a heart to the end and I smiled. Joel: "I hope that you don't mind." Valerie: "Not at all." I smiled and I kept looking at my phone. When I looked back up he was gone. I backed up and crashed into him. I jumped and screamed a little. Joel laughed. Joel: "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." He was still laughing. Valerie: "It's okay." I smiled back at him. I looked down once more and looked back up. This time he was closer. I felt his breathe against my face. To be honest he smelled really good. It could have seduced me any second. If any boy could pull off messy hair it would definitely be him. His dark brown curls formed into the perfect messy hair and of course his tiny curl sticking out. I found that so cute. His dark brown eyes that could hypnotize me for years. His soft tan skin. His jawline. His pink soft lips. How? And why am I feeling like this? I just met this boy and a barely know anything about him besides him being in La Banda. Something distracted me from my thoughts. Well more like someone. Joel had made his move....
