Real Life

"Baby pay attention to me." Diego whined, reaching for me.

"Diego, hush." I say rolling my eyes. Ever since I got back to L.A. if I wasn't at school, or work, I was with Diego. I'm not sure how this boy become such a huge part of my life, but he was consuming me.

"Then come cuddle with me, pleaseeee." He whined again, this time successfully pulling me into him.

I leaned my head onto his shoulder, watching the tv screen. Diego and I became so close that we were able to hangout doing nothing. We had been watching episode after episode of forensic files.

"Babe why are we watching this again? This shit scares the fuck out of you." He chuckles, wrapping the blanket tighter around us.

"Diego stop with all the pet names," I roll my eyes, "And because I love it, who cares if I can't ever sleep or never want to leave my house." I laugh.

"No, and you're such a dork." He laughs, "Do you want anything to eat or drink baby?" He asks getting off the couch.

"Just some water please." I smile up at him, I watched him walk out of the room.

*dingdingding*

Diego's phone kept buzzing, I turned the ringer off.

*buzzbuzzbuzz*

I didn't want to look at Diego's phone, it felt like I was violating his privacy. But what if it was something important. I ignored my logical side of my brain and looked at his screen.

Tana

Morning baby

Diego

I miss you, and I know you miss me too

Come over, everyone's out daddy

Tell that bitch you with that you're busy and come see me

"Uh find anything interesting on my phone?" I hear Diego's voice, I jump, dropping his phone onto the couch.

"Oh, uh not really. It was just blowing up, so I thought it might be important. But it was your girl Tana." I say, picking up his phone and handing it to him. "But look I go to go Diego." I get off the couch, moving to grab my things.

"Wait, what? What where do you have to go? We haven't even finished this episode?" He asks confusion laced in his voice.

"Well you seem like you might have better plans, and well we've spent so much time together, and like you must have other people you need to see. You know your girls?" I slip my shoes on, grabbing my jacket.

"Better plans? I don't know about you, but I've love spending all this time with you. My girls? I don't have girls, maybe hoes but you're my only girl." He says smirking at me, I roll my eyes.

"Look, I do really have to go though. I have barely been at my own apartment the last 5 days." I sigh, opening the front the door.

"Fine, fine. But you didn't drive here so let me take you home." He pulls me to his side as we walk outside to his car.

"Okay sure Diego, also don't you need to lock your door?" I say confused, looking back to his shared apartment with Steven.

"Nah babe, Steven's home. I'll text him to lock it." He opens the car door for me, helping me into his SUV.

We both get into the car, and he revs the engine. The first few minutes in the car were quiet, Diego's hand was placed on my thigh.

"Diego?" I say softly.

"Yes baby?" He answers, rubbing my thigh. I slightly slap his hand, chuckling.

"You're not mad at me for looking at your phone? I feel super guilty about it." I ask looking down at my hands.

"No baby, I know you weren't snooping or doing it maliciously. You're too sweet and innocent for that."

"Okay, I just felt bad." He pulls into my apartment parking structure. "Are you still coming to my show tonight?"

"Yes of course Diego. I wouldn't miss your show for anything." I ask pulling him into a hug.

"Good. I know I've been hogging you lately, but you mean the world to me. you know, that right?" He says looks into my eyes.

"I don't mind being hogged, and I do, Diego. You mean the world to me too." I smile at him and he returns it.

"All right baby, get going. Can I pick you up for the show tonight?"

"Yes, please." I lean over and peck his cheek before getting out of his car. I look back to his car and wave to him.
