Curious

For the rest of the weekend Juan and I just sit at my apartment watching Netflix, eating junk food while drinking some wine ,and getting to know one another more. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend with him.

Despite his many attempts, we still haven't had sex. I just need to make sure he doesn't just want me for that. I don't now if I can fully trust him yet my last relationship left me with some trust issues. I mean how can I be sure he's not gonna just leave me after he gets what he wants?
When she was alive, my mother constantly reminded me that I need to respect myself in order for others to respect me. Especially men. And I'll never forget that.

"My trainer is so going to kill me after he hears everything I've eaten this weekend." Juan groans as we walk out to my balcony with our breakfast.

"You'll live. Besides, wasn't it totally worth it?" I ask, grinning as he rolls his eyes.

"It was. I haven't had this much fun in a while. I really enjoyed it." he says, reaching over to grab my hand.

I nod, frowning. "Me too. It sucks you have to leave already." I sigh.

"I know. I'll come back as soon as I can." he says, stretching over to give me a kiss on the top of my head.

I nod, taking a bite out of my stack of pancakes.

After a few more moments of silence Juan speaks again. "Hey, why don't you come to Colombia with me?" he says enthusiastically.

I almost choke on my pancakes. "Are you crazy?!" I say, eyes practically popping of their sockets.

"What? You don't have to go to work for another week and I still have a week off too. Come with me." he says, and I can tell he's completely seriously.

"No way. You're going to spend time with your family which means if I go with you, I have to spend time with your family." I say shaking my head. "I'm not ready for that."

Juan absolutely loves his family and he can't go more then a couple of days without seeing them. His mom and dad even take turns going to concerts with him. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it's actually one of the many qualities I like about him, but I'm not ready to meet his family. I've only known him for a few weeks.

"Oh come on, you already met my Dad while we were on set for my video." he says, rolling his eyes.

True. I'd already met his father, but I had only spoken about three sentences with the man. And I wasn't introduced as the girl his son was dating. Which is what I am now.

"Yeah, but I haven't met your Mom, or sister, or aunt, or literally anybody else that's important in your life. I'm not ready for that." I spit out so quickly I'm almost light headed.

"Bonita, calm down." Juan says grabbing me and sitting me on his lap. "It was just a suggestion. I would really love to spend at least a few more days with you, but if you don't want to spend more time with me, it's completely fine." he says, sighing dramatically.

I scowl at him. He's trying to guilt me into going. "Yeah, well I don't want to go." I say crossing my arms over my chest.

"Oh come on!" he whines. "Please? I'll tell them you're just the girl I filmed the video with and you had a shoot here or something. They don't have to know we're going on dates and stuff like that yet." he says, pleading.

I roll my eyes. "We went on one date Juan. We aren't even dating yet. I just don't want things to get awkward if they dislike me." I say while playing with the fabric of his t-shirt.

"Well believe me, there's gonna be more dates. Also, my mother is the nicest lady you'll ever meet and I'm not just saying that because she's my mother. She gets along with literally everybody." he says, chuckling lightly beneath me.
