New on the block

Lucky

Cesar's POV:
I'm with Monse, Oscar, and the other Santos outside of the house and it feels like I can juggle all of this. The gang, school, dating and a personal life. "Monse, cómo esta tu papa?" Oscar asks. "He's good, happy that I stopped interfering with the gangs." Monse answers. "Aye nena, can you pass me a beer?" I ask Monse. "Sure." She kisses me and gets off my lap. "You got that hyna whipped." Oscar laughs. "Yeah, I think it's the other way around." Monse elbows Oscar and she passes him and I a beer. "Thanks bebé." I pull her back down to my lap and she laughs. "She's right he's totally pussy whipped." Sad Eyes adds. "Talk about my girlfriend's pussy again and I'll tell your Abuela." I say as I throw an empty beer bottle at him. "Ok ok!" He puts his hands up. "Why is he so scared of his Abuela?" Monse asks. "Let's just say she doesn't play around, she doesn't even know he's a Santo." Oscar laughs. "She thinks he does "community out reach" and that's why he's always here." I say. "I am doing community outreach, I help keep our block Prophet free." He rationalizes. "Wow you are such a hero." Monse laughs. "I really don't feel like going to Ruby's and have you step all over my feet, you wanna skip it for today?" I suggest as I wrap my arm around her waist. "Ruby will literally kill us." She shakes her head. "Come on, it'll be fine. We can just stay in my room. You know just in case he comes over." I whisper. "We can't!" She whines. "We can practice dancing later but right now I just wanna be with my girlfriend and you don't want to tell them yet." I kiss her and she smiles. "I'll think about it." She says. "Well think about it quick 'cause we have to be there in... twenty minutes ago, shit." I point out. "Yeah we should probably just stay here. I think if we're late we might be attacked." Monse gives in. "Ok." I wrap her legs around my waist and stand up. "We'll be in my room." I bring her inside the house and drop her on my bed. She laughs the whole way. "So what do want to do?" She asks as I lean down to kiss her. "I don't want to do anything." I say and she gives me a confused look. "Stop being so dirty minded Monse, I just wanted to lay in bed with my girlfriend." I gasp. "Shut up." She says as she pulls me down so that I'm laying next to her. "I'm serious, we don't do nothing enough." I pull her close and I kiss her. "You're too cute." She smiles. "Nah that's all you baby." I can't wait till we're older and we live together. "In four years, when we graduate, we're moving together and then after college I'm going to design a beach house for us and then, I'm gonna marry you." I can't stop smiling and neither can she. "How can you be so sure of all that?" Monse asks. "Because, I already know I love you." I admit.

Monse's POV:
Did he just say he love me? Oh God if I don't say something soon he's going to think I don't love him. Shit shit shit, am I really ready to say that? "You know maybe it's too soon for me to say that." He says awkwardly. "I love you too." I say and he pulls me on top of him. His smile is so contagious and as soon as I see the light in his eyes I know I made the right choice. "You have no idea how happy I am that you moved here." He says against my lips. "I was thinking the same thing." I laugh. "I swear someone's gotta be looking out for me 'cause there's no way I got this lucky on my own." He says. I'm not really sure why he's the one who got lucky. "I'm pretty sure I'm the one who got lucky. You're so sweet and funny. Maybe we're both just lucky." I say. "Oh yeah, we're definitely the luckiest people alive." He nods his head and he kisses again. "Only that could ruin this is the full forces of Ruby tracking us down." I laugh. "Yeah I'm pretty sure when he's mad he could take on all the Santos at once." Cesar says. "No doubt." I agree. We sit in silence for a few minutes and Cesar just stares at me. "What?" I ask. "Nothing, it's just you're so beautiful. You got a boyfriend?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Yeah, and he could definitely beat you ass." I laugh. "Mmm I don't know, you're so beautiful I'd beat anyone and win for you." He's so cheesy. "My boyfriend apparently loves me so I think he would win." I joke but Cesar doesn't laugh. "Not apparently, I really do love you." He says with a straight face. "I was just joking." I say. "I know but I've been waiting so long to tell you and there's no "apparently" about it." He says as he holds my hands. "How long?" Now I'm curious. "I think we were dating for a couple weeks but I knew that I loved you because of all the time we were together over summer." He smiles. "I'm sorry I was so mean to you when we first met." I laugh as I remember telling him I kinda hated him. "It's fine, because every time you rolled your eyes at me or got mad at me I knew you secretly wanted to make out." He says and I pretend to gag. "You wish!" I laugh. "Oh ok so you don't want me to kiss you? Got it." He says with a smirk. "That's not what I meant!" I whine and he laughs.

Oscar's POV:
I hear them laughing and joking around and I feel bad for telling him to break up with her. This is good for him, she's good for him. I just hope he doesn't get too attached.
