"Happy New Year. How... how have you been?" he asks.

"I've been good. Anyway, I called to wish you a Happy New Year and to ask you when you're free. I really miss you. And I forgive you." I feel a lump beginning to form in my throat the longer I speak.

I can hear Juan exhale, "You have no idea how happy you just made me feel hermosa. I've missed you too."

"I-If you're free I can fly out to Colombia first thing tomorrow morning." I chew on lip nervously waiting for his response.

"Yes! Yeah. That would be awesome. I'll be waiting for you. Just call me when you're plane lands so I can pick you up." I can hear his smile through the phone.

"Yeah, okay. I'll see you tomorrow."

"I'll see you tomorrow. I love you Adrianna."

I smile weakly, "I love you too." I quickly hang up and walk back inside.

"So, how did it go?" asks Joel as soon as I shut the door.

"I'm going to Colombia tomorrow." I say excitedly.

"I'm standing right by the exit. You don't see me yet?" Juan asks through the phone.

I shake my head as I continue my hunt for him, "No. I don't see you anywhe-" twenty feet in front of me is Juan. My heartbeat quickens and before I know it i'm running into his arms.

"I've missed you so much." I feel him wrap his strong tattooed arms around me.

"I've missed you too." I whisper, trying not to cry in front of the hundreds of people zooming past us in this airport.

I let go of him before caressing that scar that i've come to love so much under his left eye. I stand up on my tippy toes before kissing him passionately.

"I forgot how much I missed your lips." he whispers against my lips.

I smile, "Let's go." I intertwine our hands together and start heading for the exit.

"So, are we going to talk about the kiss at all? Or do you just want to move on from it?" Juan asks anxiously.

I sigh in frustration as we walk into his home, "I really don't know Juan. I believe you. I wouldn't be here if I didn't think you were telling the truth. Just please never put yourself in a situation were something like that can happen again." I throw myself onto his couch.

He nods, "I swear I won't. But uh, you know about me bringing fans up on stage and kissi-"

I cut him off by waving my hand dismissively, "I know about that. I've seen you do it plenty of times before. I'm not gonna lie and say that you kissing other women makes me happy but, you've been doing that long before we were even together. This was just different. She was an ex. There was history there. Kissing fans is completely different. I don't like it but I would rather you kiss them over an ex any day."

He takes a seat next to me, "I'd much rather kiss you over anybody. Any day." he presses soft kiss all over my collarbone and neck until he reaches my lips.

I giggle as I enjoy the feeling, "Good."

"So," I sigh, content while Juan and I lay naked in his sheets, "what were you up to these past few weeks?"
