TWENTY FOUR. new couple.

The person glanced at her, their face filled with concern. She couldn't tear her eyes away from them, her hand dropping from her mouth, but they didn't say anything, only opening their mouth to speak.

"I did something terrible," The person confessed.

"Come inside. Let's talk about it," Selena offered.

The person stepped inside and closed the door behind them. She crossed her arms, fixing her gaze on the person who had warned her about her girlfriend.

Ricardo's gaze fell to the ground. Selena approached him, wrapping her arms around him as he wept.

Eugenia shuffled on her feet, walking towards them. She tapped her shoulder, causing her to break away and look at her.

"Yes, babe?" She inquired.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to your father?" Eugenia asked.

"Oh, right. This is my father, Ricardo," She introduced them.

"I suppose you're her girlfriend again, correct?" Ricardo asked, extending his hand.

"That's me. It's great to see you again, sir," She replied, shaking his hand as he stepped back.

"It's good to see you too. Do you mind if I use the bathroom?" He requested.

"It's down the hall on the right," She directed.

"I'll be there before I leave," He stated, heading towards the hallway.

"Babe, I think that was quite rude of him," Eugenia commented once he was out of earshot.

"He wasn't being rude. He did something terrible, which I don't expect you to understand," She defended.

"Now I get it. You're still upset about when I left you the first time," Eugenia stated.

"Upset doesn't even begin to describe how I felt when you left me. I think you got what you deserved," She retorted, crossing her arms.

She ran a hand through her hair, at a loss for words. Selena refused to meet her gaze.

Eugenia moved towards the couch, sinking down and letting out a sigh. She placed her hands on her lap, her eyes fixed on the floor.

She avoided looking at her. She sighed.

"I told you I was sorry and explained why I left in the first place. I thought we had moved past that," She whispered.

"I apologized and explained why I left, thinking we had moved past it," She whispered.

"I thought so too, but you can't understand what he went through," She replied, looking at her.

"Do you know?" She asked.

"No, I don't know how he feels. But no matter what, he's still my father," Selena mumbled.

"I know he's your dad, but I don't know him very well," She said.

"You should get to know him again. He wanted to talk to you when he called earlier," She suggested.

"I'll try to get along with him, but only because I love you and want you to be happy," She said.

"I love you too. I'm going to call The Weeknd and agree to meet up," She explained.

Eugenia motioned for her to come closer and pulled her onto her lap, kissing her passionately. Selena responded eagerly, wrapping her arms around Eugenia's neck.

As they kissed, her dad interrupted them. He is shocked.

"Hey, I did- oh, I'm sorry!" He said.

"Oh my god, Dad!" Selena exclaimed, pulling away from the kiss.
