Cuando Volveras

Chapter 2

"You guys are stressing way too much over a damn outfit." Anthony complained, he runs his fingers through his hair, sighing deeply.

"You mean her. I already have my outfit set." I sat down to the closest seat near me. Anthony sits down next to me while we both watch Rosa finally chose an outfit.

"Yes, this is the one!" She squealed. Him and I laughed as we watch her, skipping her way to the register.

As we watch her pay, I look from the corner of my eye and see Anthony twiddling his fingers nervously. He looks at his shoes while they tap to a certain rhythm.

"Tony, you okay?" I asked with my eyebrow arched.

He looks over at me and bites his lip. For some reason, watching his teeth sink into those lips made my heart rate speed up.

"Yeah, I'm just scared for the party tomorrow. One of my boys hooked us up with a guy from this big record label that's gonna come check us out. If we do good, he might just sign us." He smiled.

"Oh my god, that's great! The whole block knows that you guys are mad talented."

"Yeah, it's a big opportunity for us. I was thinking about performing a new song for tomorrow too. It's a bit risky but I have a good feeling about it."

I nod my head. "Just trust your gut. I'm confident that you'll do great." We smile at each other and I lean in to give him a hug.

"You smell sweet, like pineapples," feeling him grin on my shoulder. I roll my eyes but felt my cheeks get warm.

"Why are you sniffing me?" I joked.

As we laughed, Rosa returns with her shopping bag.

"Now to find some cute shoes!!"

"Dios mio," Anthony groans as he rolls his eyes.

"Nati, I'm not too sure about my dress."

Rosa came out of the bathroom, looking insecure. Her dress was white with a thin pink line going down the middle, stopping right in the middle of her thighs.

"Stop worrying so much. I think you look hot as hell. The white goes with your complexion perfectly. You're gonna have mad boys drop their jaws for you. Especially Mikey's."

Her cheeks turned light link as I mention him. I knew that girl wasn't over him.

I turn back to the mirror and fix my dress. This tight black dress with lace had started from my thighs all the way up to my shoulders, covering my arms. Since it was such a tight fabric, it was hugging my body, showing off my curves.

Make up isn't my thing, so all I put on was some mascara. I had my black hair straight as a pin and was about to curl Rosa's hair.

Rosa sits on the chair as I start to work on her hair.

"You ever think about what would happen if Aventura really blew up? Remember that tonight is their big night." Rosa reminds me.

"They're really good and they deserve it. You know how hard those boys worked. Especially during high school. You remember how many classes they skipped just to practice?" We laughed.

Nostalgia starts to slowly hit me. Everything that Anthony and I have done when we were little kids. From playing hide and seek, to pranking one of our neighbors. If he does leave, I know that nothing will be the same. My heart sinks, thinking about how much I'll miss him calling me mami everyday, his contagious smile, his hugs, his jokes, his dimples, his laugh.
