Love Yourself First

AMA's Afterparty

I almost forgot! Did I mention I performed for the first time since I cancelled tour? I performed "Same Old Love" which was perfect since the last time I was at the AMA's I performed "The Heart Wants What It Wants" I definitely upgraded with my feelings. I felt so alive being back on stage, getting to perform in front of millions of people. But after the award show I skipped the after party and made sure to go home immediately. I didn't know what I wanted to make but I made sure it would be simple.

"Hi." Selena told him touching her earlobe shyly.

"Hi Queen." Abel whispered in his elegant soft voice.

"Please, come inside." Selena opened the door wider so that he can walk in. When he did she shut the door. "Make yourself feel like you're home. I hope you're craving nachos." She said as she was walking towards the kitchen.

"I'll eat whatever you make"

"Alright" she smiled and blushed. "The food is almost done. The remote is on the couch, so turn on something you want to watch."

"Will do" he said. He saw pictures of her and family and friends among the walls.

I was so nervous because what if he doesn't like my cooking? I wanted the night to be perfect.

"The food smells amazing" he told her while staring at the pictures.

"Thank you Abel." She smiled as she started opening the bottle of wine.

"This picture of you and your mom and dad is cute."

"One of my favorite pictures actually." She turned the stove down before walking over to him.

"And your baby pic is adorable. Was cute then and beautiful now."

"Who knows.. maybe a picture of us will be up on the wall eventually."

"Eventually? So you want me to stick around?" He looked over at her.

"Of course I do." She looked at him with a smile before continuing. "I wouldn't have invited you over if I didn't want you to stick around."

Abel is a very shy guy until you get to know him. We have been talking for the past few months but he's still shy. I'm shy at first as well but when it comes to Abel, I'm not really that shy. When it was time to eat I was then the shy one.

"Let me know what you think..." Selena told him as she saw him take a bite. "It's okay to admit that I'm a terrible cook" she laughed nervously.

After swallowing his food he looked over at her with a smile. "You are one incredible cook."

"I'm not sure if you're saying that to make me feel good or not but thanks." She chuckled.

"No. You really are. I love these!! It also has a little spice to it."

"I love spicy food. Hope you'll get used to it."

"That speech you did at the American Music Awards, was amazing. You are truly an inspiring woman. You've been through so much and you're still standing stronger than ever. I also loved your performance as well of Same Old Love."

"Aw. That's really sweet, Abel. Thank you."

"You're welcome but you were King of the night."

"And you were my Queen. In my badly Whitney Houston's voice" he started sing "Queen of the night, queen of the night."

"Oh gosh" Selena laughed. 

"That was terrible, huh?"

"No! Not at all, it was perfect. I enjoyed your performance at the AMA's by the way. Your voice does something to me."

"Like what? Makes you moist?" he joked and chuckled.

"Probably" she laughed.

"For real?" He smiled.

"Yes for real and you know what else is for real?"

"What?"

"My feelings for you."

Abel was completely shocked when I said that because I've been so good or not so good at hiding my feelings towards him.

"You never said how you felt."

"That's because I'm not really good at expressing my feelings." She told him seeing him nodding.

"Trust me, I understand." He told her.

"But let me show you" she placed her hand on his leg before slowly leaning over to him giving him a passionate kiss.

I was going to stop because I didn't feel him kissing me back but then I realized it was because he took me to a place and had me on another level I never been before. My heart was racing, my body wanted more but I wanted everything to happen at it's on pace with us.

"Wow that was...."

"Amazing? Flawless? Destined to happen?" She chuckled.

"Yes" He said wrapping an arm around her.  "So I'm assuming it's safe to call you my girlfriend?"

"You're assuming?" She chuckled.

"Well" He chuckled.

"You're so cute being shy but you don't need to be shy around me."

"Alright. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes" she smiled.
