Hector Rivera × Reader : Mi Amor

Chapter 3

Y/N's POV

I watched the guy singing till there were fireworks on the sides of the stage. I grabbed my handkerchief and covered my nose and put it somewhere when I'm done using it.

The two guys ended the song and we all cheered. I smiled at the guy who was waving his hands to the crowd, not till his eyes landed on mine. I gave him a smile and he smiled too.

My cheeks went red.

I walked away from there and started to go back. What did I got myself into? He's a musician. Urghh why did I even go here in the first place. I walked out of there and went back to my house. Mama and Imelda were on the living room watching some news on the television.

"What took you so long mija?" Mama asked. I knew that they won't allow me to go to that part of the city since music was the reason why papa died. "I--It was uhmm..traffic!" I ran back to my room and locked the door.

"That must be a mariachi plaza..."

I sat on my bed and thought of the two musicians that I just saw earlier. Especially the one with the messy hair, he looks cute and polite.

What if I go there again?n-no!! Mama and Imelda might get suspicious. I'll just tell them that I'm going to a friend's house.

I walked down the stairs and was about to open the door.

"Where do you think you're going young lady?" I turned around and saw Imelda with a curious face.

"I-uhmm..going to my friend's house." She gave me a look then finally nods.

"Just be back before sunset."

With that I rushed out of the door and ran to that Mariachi Plaza. Once I arrived, it was still loud. There were still entertainers on the street but I'm looking for those two musicians. I looked at the stage at where they performed earlier, they weren't there.

I was about to go back till I heard some melodic tunes from afar. It's him and I know it!

I ran to where the music of the guitar was playing and knew that it was that guy. My eyes spotted him.

He was sitting on a bench looking at the people walking by the streets, he's not singing but kept on strumming his guitar. I kept looking at him till he suddenly stared at me. I went red and turned back. I saw that his friend came but he talked to him for a bit till he started to walk somewhere..wait..is he following me?

I wasn't looking at where I was going till I bumped into a cabinet with a vase on top. The vase went out of balance and was about to fall on my head.

I was about to wait for it to hit me till a pair of strong arms pulled me away. I felt my hands on someone's chest and heard the vase fall, not on me but on the ground.

"Are you ok señorita?"

I looked up and saw who it was.

It was him.

"I-I'm fine señor..." I was to lost in my words because I kept on mesmerizing his beautiful brown eyes..

He suddenly smiled.

" You should be more careful. That vase might crack your head open." He said then chuckled. He's so cute.

"I wasn't looking to where I was going. Forgive my clumsiness."

"It's fine señorita. What's your name if I may ask?"

We were just looking into each other's eyes and my face starting to get red.

"My name is Y/N L/N. You?"

He bowed before introducing.

"I'm Hector Rivera."

We shake hands and I felt butterflies in my stomach. I never had any contact with men for many years since I don't find them cute and polite. Hector was the first man I've met in my age.

"What's a lady like you doing in the Plaza?" He asked.

"I was just-uhm watching some magic tricks." I told him but he looks like he wasn't convinced.

"Any more reasons?"

He looked at me with a mischievous smirk on his face. I pouted.

"I might have come to see some musicians?" I told him.

"Is that a question?"

"No?"

"Hector!!"

I turned around and saw his friend. The one he plays with in the stage earlier.

"Oh Ernesto..its just you." Hector stated. The guy Ernesto stared at me.

"Who is she?"

"Oh! Uhmm..Ernesto meet Y/N. Y/N meet Ernesto."

"Nice to meet you señorita."

I giggled at how Ernesto was such a gentleman. "I see you found a good one Hector" Ernesto teased him while he gave an unsure smile.

"It's been great to meet you two but, my mama might look for me in this time of hour." I said and Hector walked up to me.

"If you wanna see me again, come here and I'll play you a song señorita" he said and I nodded.

"I will Hector." I walked away ang gave them a goodbye before ranning all the way back to the house.

"Mama I'm home!"

Mama arrived from the kitchen with a bowl of soup. "You've arrived early. What happened at your friend's house?" She asked but I just put my cloak on the couch and walked upstairs.

"Ohh nothing" I replied and walked to my room. I was in my bed remembering what happened earlier in the plaza. I can't believe I actually met him and he saved me!

Another visit can't be that bad...
