Five years later...

The tall woman walked out of my office as I quickly flicked her resume to the back of the pile. The white telephone which sat in the corner of my mahogany desk began to ring as I cussed under my breath.

"There is one more person here for an interview, ma'am." The front desk receptionist told me, her high pitched voice irritating my headache even more. Conducting job interviews was a stressful thing.

I let out a deep sigh, "Sure, let them through." Hanging up the phone, I ran my fingers through my hair before glancing down at the resume in front of me.

My heart began pounding against my chest as the name registered in my mind.

Wilmer Eduardo Valderrama.

The name stood out to me like a light up sign on a billboard.
It couldn't possibly be the Wilmer that I knew. We parted ways years ago, and it was absolutely heart breaking.
I remember him telling me not to beat myself up over this, and to be safe, to take care of myself. I had respected his wishes. As numb as I had felt at times, and as much as I just wanted to give up, I kept going.

I shook my head, shaking myself from my thoughts as my office door opened. I was scared to look up. What if it wasn't my Wilmer? And, what if it was?

"Headmaster Lovato?" The familiar voice said to me. It felt as if I were talking to a ghost. Memories of Wilmer and I flooded my mind as I still refused to look up at him. What if my mind was just playing tricks on me?

Once Wilmer had left, I also left UCLA. I found my true passion in music, and went on to study that instead at NYU. Wilmer left me with a lot of money, which I didn't know about until I had left. I invested this into starting my own company, my own music school.

"Take a seat, Mr. Valderrama." I finally looked up, managing to control the trembling of his voice when I saw his face. He looked the same, or maybe even better looking than before. "I don't know where to begin..." I trailed off, my throat closing up and my eyes filling with tears as the man sat across from me.

Wilmer stood up and walked around to my side of the office desk. "It's nice to see you again, I hope...?" He stated, although it sounded more like a question.

I nodded, wiping the tears which had unknowingly fallen from my eyes as he pulled me into a hug, "What are you doing here?"

The man shrugged as we pulled out of the warm embrace. "I told you that if we were meant to be, then we would find our way back to each other. I know business, you're looking for a music business teacher, that's good enough of an excuse to have to come see you, isn't it?"

"Is this real?"

"As real as ever, baby."

I covered my hands over my face as the happy tears cascaded down my cheeks. This would undoubtedly ruin my makeup, but I didn't care. I felt so many different emotions in this moment. Love, anger, lust, shock, happiness...And my way of responding to those emotions was by crying, apparently.

I managed to compose myself enough to be able to look at Wilmer again.

Neither of us said anything, I don't think we knew what to say to each other. I lent in slightly as Wilmer brought his hand up to softly caress my, still slightly wet, cheek.

We could have sat like that all day and been completely content, but I decided to lean in a bit closer. His warm breath hitting my skin as he lent in to break the small gap between our lips.

My entire body errupted as he snaked his arm around my waste, pulling me closer into him as our tongues moved in perfect sync, fitting like puzzle pieces as soft moans filled our tiny bubble.

That my loves, that is where the rest of our lives began.

The End.

Thank you all for supporting me and this story and coming on this journey with me. I've left it open for a sequel if there's enough demand or I decide to do one, but we'll see.

I have decided to take a break from wattpad and my other social media platforms excluding kik and facebook as i only have a limited number of people who can contact me through them.
Any current stories will be put on hold until I come back and I will update as soon as I come back as I don't plan on taking a break from writing.

When I started wattpad, it felt like a family. Everyone was so kind to each other and supportive, but now it has turned into a toxic place of almost competing with each other and putting others down.
There is a group of people on here and other social media who watch me waiting for me to make a mistake, and when I do they start indirecting me, saying shit about me, they even went as far as to take my venting tweets and send them to the person they involved, just to make it that bit more difficult for me. I can't live under a microscope like that because I am not perfect and I'm still learning.

I'm only 18, and i know that may seem old for a lot of you but i am still so young and am trying to get a hold of my life right now even without the online bullying that i have been recieving.

I don't know how long my break will last, but I just need to get away from the toxicity of wattpad, twitter, etc.

If you want to keep in contact then please message me or comment your kik username and i will add you.

Thank you all so much for your support.
