One person can change everything

Chapter 22

Laya’s POV:

“So, your name is James right?” That was the first thing she asked before she even had came inside the store. Mateo nodded a yes and smiled. I smiled too.

“Where you from?”

“The city”

“How old are you?

“18”

“How did you two met?” The questions just floated out her mouth like a waterfall of words.

“Well, I was working on the camping when he came and we talked a little” I said and smiled to Mateo.

“Yeah, and I liked to talk to here so I came to the store when she was on work and we just talked for a while.

“And when did you get together?”

“Um, he came to a cabin while I was working and told me how he liked me and I told him the same back. So yeah, you know” I looked at Mateo and smiled. He smiled too at the nice memory of how we got together.

Janelle smiled a little to and nodded.

“So, how many other girlfriends have you had before?” I glared a little at Janelle but she didn’t care. This was just how she was. She wanted to know everything and she didn’t accept a small explanation, she wanted the whole story.

“Uhm… I have just had one serious relationship before. But she was cheating on me”, Mateo seamed a little uncomfortable talking about that, so I gave him a little sad and understanding smile. He smiled back and relaxed a little.

“Okay, sorry about that” She gave him a little sad smile and he smiled back and nodded. Like saying it was okay.

“So, do you go to any school, or do you work?”

“I’m working”

“What do you work as?”

“I’m working in my parents store” His parents actually had a store, so that was kind of true.

“Cool, what kind of store?”

“A music store” Also true.

“Nice, so what type of music do you like?”

“I like rock, POP, rap… eh, actually a lot of different music” He smiled and giggle a little, making me also smile. Not just of the sound of his cute laughter, but also of the fact that I knew what was coming and that was really funny.

“Ok, so one of my most important questions around the category ‘music’” She took a little pause and looked at me and gave me this funny serious face, making me giggle a little. Mateo looked a little confused, making me almost burst out in laughter. But I couldn’t, that would just make thing worse and make Janelle curious of why I laughed so much at that.

“What do you think of Mateo Hortez”. She looked dead serious when she said that and Mateo looked up at me and we both hold in a little laughter.

Mateo caught to calm himself from laughing and smiled.

“He’s okay” That made me just want to laugh more. I bit myself in the lip to stop myself from laughing. Janelle smiled and nodded. Probably satisfied by the answer.

She  continued to ask a lot of random question about his family, what he liked and disliked. Mateo tried to answer everyone as thru as possible. I was kind of surprised that he was so good at answering, but he had probably a lot of training on that. Talking to paparazzi’s and stuff.

“I like him” Janelle said, when her question time was finally over. I smiled at her and she smiled back and winked. I laughed a little and choke my head at how crazy my fried was.
