A/N: OMG guys! I just found out I am number one on the #Simbar ranking! I am like wow! Thank you all for your support! I love you all!!! I am "la reina de Simbar" ;)

I am starting this Q/A, so every chapter has a question, which I will answer and would like you to do the same on the comments! 😉

Q: How old are you?
A: 20 but looking like a 15

Ámbar's POV

Being in Simón's arms has an effect on me I cannot really describe. It's like everything around us disappears, all the problems, all the pain, but specially all the loneliness. It's like meeting calm and comfort in the form of arms...
Too soon, he squeezes me a little and let's me go. I look at him and he gives me a small, insecure smile, which I return.

The world really stops while with him because only now do I listen to people clapping around us. I turn to them and find that both Monica and Miguel have joined us.

"Oh! How much talent in such a little space!" Alfredo exclaims getting up and we four skate towards him.
Emilia winks at me but I ignore her. Turning to the adults who are complementing us.

"With so much effort I am sure you must all be tired and thirsty. I will bring you all some lemonade!" Monica announces, gaining cheers from all of us.
I am not exactly tired, but the weather it's pretty good so it's a bit warmer than needed. A cold drink sure would be very much welcome

Simón skates to Luna, sitting next to her on one of the benches. I sit on the other, looking at Emilia who insists she isn't tired and is too occupied impressing Alfredo. How she loves attention...

Monica appears from the door a few minutes later with ours drinks, and I don't know if it's because she is so desperate or if it's only because she is clumsy, but Luna gets up so fast she falls right to the floor, scratching her knee on the process.

Simon makes fun of her, while helping her up and Monica runs to her daughter, making sure she hasn't broken anything. Though if you saw it from the outside, it would look Luna had fallen from a 10-floor-building.

Monica is so gentle with her, caressing her face and hair, blowing her wound to try and help and even applying a fast cure cream. I am... fascinated you could say... These kind of relationships, which must be the normal ones, are actually a bit... odd for me.

Suddenly, a shadow appears in front of me. I look up and Simón is holding 2 lemonades, offering me one, which I gladly accept, not taking my eyes from the mother-daughter moment in front of me.

Simón sits next to me, placing a hand in my shoulder.
"You miss her a lot, huh?"
"Who?"
"Your godmother..."
"Ohh... I don't know... I think I miss the idea of her..." I shrug, looking down.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, now looking at Luna I am aware that, it is something that never happened to me, that wasn't part of my life. I can tell it's normal, it's what others get. But not me. So no I don't miss having someone telling me all the time that I needed to be perfect, what I should and shouldn't do and feel. What I miss is the idea of the guardian who guided my future, the one of having someone to share my victories. I miss a family, I miss not being alone, Simón."

"You have a family, Ámbar. You have your grandfather, you have your cousin, and even your uncle and aunt. It's hard for you to see things like this because well, everything is different. But you will adjust and I will help with what I can. I know I said all those things in the Rodafest. However, I did promise I would listen to you, a conversation we have been postponing for a while now." We both chuckle. "Either way, you are not alone Ámbar, you have me. I may not tell you exactly what you want to hear, but I will tell you what you need..."

He finishes, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and putting me closer.
"I want to talk Simón... I need to talk. I am afraid of what will come from it. How you will feel. How will I feel. I am afraid to loose you for good... But living like this is getting impossible. So rather sooner than later.... Though I would need to kick Emilia first!"
Simon chuckles, caressing imy back.

"I don't think it's a good idea you do that now, she is too busy feeding her ego (no ofense) and would probably get mad if you interrupted her moment. Plus she hates me already. Let's not give her more reasons for that... She can be..."
"Intimidating?" I ask untangling myself from his arms to get his reaction.
"Yesss" He admits, his face dead serious. I have to laugh.
"She is playing it right then..."
"Playing what?"
"Her role on making you understand that if you mess with me you are done..."

"Well, I guess I can be more relieved now then..."
I frown... "How?"
"I won't mess with you. Not if I don't have a reason. I couldn't hurt you even if I wanted..." He admits, staring into my eyes. I almost blush, but well Ámbar Smith doesn't blush...

"So we are settled for after Emilia leaves?" I ask breaking the intensity of his gaze. He nods and approaches a bit more.
"It's a deal..." He whispers next to my hear and kisses my cheek. Rolling to Luna after that.

Across the rink, Emilia sends me a look that make me realize I have 2 conversations waiting for me... Not just one... And I love my friend so much, but I just want her away...
