Sergio POV

It's been four days since I caught Nuria in Mesut's room. But he still refuses to tell me what happened between them. I didn't expect that he would resist that long. I don't stop to question him, but he doesn't admit anything. We left Los Angeles and we are now in a Miami hotel. From my room, I have a beautiful beach view. Where are actually Mesut and Nuria. But they are not alone. Xabi and Arbeloa are also there, as well as Jese enjoying sunset in the company of an employee of the hotel. And Karim. He is talking with Nuria while Mesut looks at them, some loungers further. Apparently, Karim is not upset anymore that Nuria had barely speak to him when he first spoke to her. Especially since Mesut told us that she confessed to him being very shy . This is the only information he leaked about this evening. And the few cocktails Karim gave to Nuria seem to be a good remedy for her shyness. I am sure that Mesut is enraged at this moment. He almost didn't talk to Nuria these days, and for once he had the opportunity to spend time with her, but Karim stands in his way. Poor Mesut. Finally, Karim gets up to leave. But Nuria follows him. And after a few steps she stumbles and falls into Karim's arms.

Karim POV

- I think you're drunk, I said to Nuria, helping her to gets up. We'd better go back to the hotel for you to rest.

She nods and follows me. But suddenly, she stumbles and I catch her at the last minute.

- It is confirmed : you actually drank too much, I say, laughing.

I help her to get up and then noticed that Mesut is giving me a death glare . What's wrong with him? I look back straigh in his eyes a few moments to show that he doesn't scare me until Nuria calls me.

- Karim? You're coming? You were the one who wanted to go to the hotel, right? Have you changed your mind?
- No. Let's go.

I turn my gaze away from Mesut's and puts an arm around Nuria's shoulder. We go back up to her room where she collapsed on her bed , which makes ​​me laugh.

- Don't make fun of me, she growls.
- I'm not making fun of you, I say, looking at her. I had not noticed before because I was a little annoyed she refused to talk to me, but she is kinda cute. Slender legs. A thin waist. An elongated face. Fleshy lips. Black hair falling in front of her dark blue eyes. I contemplate her when someone comes knocking at the door. She don't move and I realize she is asleep. So I decided to open the door for her.

-Sergio? What do you want?
- Stay away from her, he answers by showing Nuria.

A little surprised by his response, I remain speechless for a moment, but I quickly pull myself together.

-You don't have to tell me what I should do Sergio. If I want to spend time with Nuria it's none of your business.

And I slam the door in his face. Who does he think he is? I go back to Nuria and lie down by her side.
