My Best Friend || Joel Pimentel

Chapter 3

I woke up with a feeling I never felt before. I felt pressure around my waist area. I look over next to me and found a sleepy Joel. I kissed his forehead and went back to sleep until he wakes up.

"Morning Princess." He said a few minutes later.

"Morning." I said while I look up to him.

"Do you want some waffles?" He said while he hugged me.

"Yea and why are you hugging me?" I asked.

"Because I love you so much." He let go and quickly ran down to the kitchen to make breakfast I guess.

Mean while I went to my closet to see what to wear today. After i changed and did my hair really quick, I went to the kitchen to see my breakfast was done.

"Breakfast is serve my lady." He said in an Italian accent. He also had a towel on his right arm. I laughed at him.

"Thank you chef Joel." I giggled.

He then finished making his breakfast and we both started eating.

While we were eating I notice my mom wasn't here. "Joel do you know where my mom is?" I asked.

"Um she left this note for you." He got up and gave it to me.

It read: Zandra,
I'm going with your father to finish things that we should of handle a long time ago. I promise I'll be back by dinner time. I love you so so so so much. Oh by the way I took a picture of you and Joel sleeping, you guys are so adorable. Like we always talk about I approve if he ever wants to go out with you *winky emoji* anyways I love you so much Zandra and whatever happens know that I am right here with you. Mucho besos ~mamí ♡

I sighed knowing she's going to be out all day. I love my mom, she's my only girl best friend I have. And having her as my best friend, I tell her everything. We're so close and just one day without her breaks my heart.
I finished my breakfast a few minutes after Joel did. Then I started to wash the dishes. "Joel don't even think about washing the dishes with me." I said while I felt his presence in the room.

"What why?" He asked.

"You're really asking why?" I gave him the "seriously" look while scrubbing the plate.

"Oh is it because I played around with the soap and left it all over the kitchen."

"Yes."

"It was fun though." He gave me that innocent smile.

"Yea not when I'm the one to clean it up." I said.

After I finished with the dishes, I went to my living room where Joel was at. We are watching La Rosa De Guadalupe, one of my favorite shows. I like how it has a different moral on each episodes.

"Joel aren't you going to go home and change?" I asked while I sat next to him.

"I should but I don't want to leave you alone not one second." He said. Then he kissed my forehead. Damn what is up with all these kisses? I mean I'm not complaining.

"Cochino." I told him while I rested my head on his chest. His heart beat is oddly fast. "Why is your heart beating fast?"

"Maybe because you make me nervous in a good kind of way." He said. I just smile on him and laid my head on his chest and continue watching the show. Oh how I love Joel.

Yes I admit I love him. With all my heart, even though he could be an asshole sometimes but he's my asshole. And a lot of people in my school says that we have some chemistry going on but I don't see it. Look at him every girl loves him, well most girls. And well I don't know I just don't see him as my boyfriend although I want him to be. Anyways some how I guess I fell asleep because when I woke up he left.

I looked around the room and noticed he wasn't here. Hm oh well maybe he was just tired of me. I went to my room to take another nap. I remember my mom told me on that note saying that she took a picture of us, I tried looking for the picture and I finally found it under my lamp. I smiled at the picture, we both look happily asleep. I pulled out a box from under my bed and put it on my photo album of me and him. That box has everything that he has gave me, even dead flowers.

Looking through the box made me feel so happy until I remember that he is leaving in September for the actual auditions in Miami. I'm going to miss him so so so so so much. I'm not looking forward to going to school without him, not going to graduate together, not being able to see each other ever again until he comes home. I sighed and put the box back where it belonged.

I also have a box for my mom, except her's is way more bigger than Joel's. Why? Because she's my mom and gives me more gifts than Joel and because we have a lot more memories than Joel.

Hopefully everything is okay over there. I actually never met my dad because my mom always said that it is better if I don't know him. I don't really know what she means from that even from today. I decided to call her to see everything is okay.

It rings three times before she answers. "Hello?"

"Mom are you almost home?" I asked her.

"Yes sweety, hey sweetheart I have to go, que dios de manda muchos bendiciones. Y te amo mucho mucho mucho hija. I love you sooo much Zandra never ever ever forget that." She said, i think she is crying.

"I love you more mamí, and mom is everything okay? Why are you crying?"

"Because I'm going to miss you so much." She cried.

"Mom?!" Before I could say something else she hanged up. Tears rolled down my cheek. What's going on? I need to go to her.

I ran to Joel's house and went over to Joel's mom who was in the front yard. "Patrica my mom! I think she's in trouble! We need to go to her, I want to see her!" I cried to her.

She pulled me into a hug. "Sh sh, Zandra everything is okay. Listen Honey, your mom just went to Los Angeles to finish court duties with your father. I promise you she will be back."

"But she was crying and -"

"Yes she was crying because her nerves came to her, you know how she cries when she gets really nervous. I promise you everything will be okay." She said and pulled me into a hug.

"Zandra are you okay?!" Joel said while he ran outside to me. I nodded while I let go of his mom and wipes my tears.

"Yea I'm fine."

"Here lets go home, Mom I'm going to stay with her until her mom comes back." He said while he pushed me towards my house.

"Okay but make sure you check in with me once in a while okay?" She yelled.

"Okay!' He yelled back.

The rest of the day we were just eating chips and watching La Rosa De Guadalupe again. Like always I fell asleep on him. While i drifted to sleep he sang to me.
