True love is meant to be (A Joel Pimentel fanfiction)

Richards Family Reuniun

Richards POV:
So today me and the boys arrived in Arkansas. But what they don't know is that we are here for my family reunion, and I am literally so excited because I am going to be able to see my little cousin Salice, the last time I saw her was three years ago when I was on La Banda. When we were on La Banda, I could tell that Joel was interested in her, I'm not gonna lie, I wouldn't be upset if they dated, but I can't let them know that I'm okay with it. I need to protect her from fame, because it can crush a person's self esteem, and I don't want that to happen to Salice. Anyway, I can wait to see how much Salice has grown, she has always been there for me, and if I needed her to, she would babysit Aaliyah. " Hey why are we in Arkansas?" Chris asked me with a wide eyed look. When we pulled into the venue I finally told them. "Family reunion." They looked at me funny. "Why is it in Arkansas." Joel said, I could tell he was excited to see Salice. If Salice shows any signs of interest in Joel, I'll probably let them date. But only if Salice shows the same interest as Joel does towards her. "We wanted a change of scenery." I say plainly. "Richard! I missed you!" When I look to see who it was, it was Salice. Whwn she finally got close enough to me sh jumped in my arms. And me being me I spun her around. "Hey Salice, whats up prima." She looks a bit different since the last time I saw her. "Nothin." then she pauses for a bit. Then I see her look at Joel. "Hey Joel" she said slowly. I think she likes him. But im still not sure about this.

Joel's POV:
"Hey Joel" She said to me. With a sweet smile. God she looks so perfect. She has a lot of tattoos now, I guess she gets that from Rchard and Yashua. "H-hey Salice" I say back. Then Chris comes closer to me and says "smooth Joel. Real smooth." I vould tell he was being sarcastic, but I didn't really care. When we get inside. Salice runs over to Yashua and Aaliyah runs to us. "Hola papa" She says while hugging his leg. Sometimes I wish I had a daughter. So I could protect her and care for her the way Richard does with Aaliyah. "Hola mi princesa" he says picking her up. And kissing her all over her face. When I look back over to Salice, She's posing and smiling, because Yashua is taking pictures of her. She is so fucking gorgeous, you want to know what makes it worse? She's wearing my favorite color.

Then she looks over at me. And thwn starts walking in my direction. "Hey Whats up." she says her eyes looking deep into mine. I love her, but I don't know how to tell her. "Nothin, can we go somewhere and talk?" I ask nervously. "Yeah of course. Lets go out side." she says excitedly. Did she sant to be alone with me. No thats impossible. Why would she like me, it doen't matter I have to tell her how I feel. When we get outside there is a gazebo that looks really romantic so I decide to lead her to it.

When we sit down on the bench i just start talking. "Look Salice, I really like you. I've liked you since I was 17. All I can hope for, is that you feel the same way." I say staring deep into her beautiful brown Eyes. "Joel........ I really like you too." she says back smiling ear to ear. "Salice, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked happy that she said she had the same feelings. "Yes Joel. I would love nothing more." then I started leaning in. Until finally our lips connected. "What the fuck" whe hear. When we turn we see Richard mad as hell. "Richard. I love him. Please. Just let us be happy." Salice said tears running down her face. Thats when Richard settled down. "Sal.... Do you really love him, I don't want you to get hurt"he said holding her in his arms. "Yes Richard. I really do. And he asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes." she said smiling now. Then he looks at me like he's about to lecture me. "I know, Rich, Im not gonna hurt her. You know me. You know how much i love her too" I say putting my hand on his shoulder. "Ok. Ok. Fine, you win. You can date." he said with a slowly appearing smile.
