We all know the story of Monse and Cesar. We know the backstory of these best friends turned lovers...well, part of it. The tip of the iceberg if you will. What if I told you that the beginning of their full story started way before any quince death...

She hadn't stopped smiling once. He even paid extra close attention to see if her mood changed. To see if he could see her mind change from her expression. Anything telling, that let him know she thought this was a bad idea. But she didn't stop smiling one time.
Molena had her head on his chest and her arms wrapped tightly around his torso as they took up the whole couch. One of his arms hung off the couch while the other played in her curls. He resisted the urge to keep kissing her head by instead just resting his lips against the top. Anytime he spoke she could feel his warm body vibrate and she would smile even harder.
This was so weird. Good weird.
It was almost like the last four years hadn't even happened. They were just two people who had both loved the other for years, tangled in each other, sharing their time together.
Neither of them even heard what was going on on tv. If anyone walked in they would think that the most interesting program in the world was on, the way they stared at the screen, but these two wouldn't be able to tell you what was even playing at the time. They were in their own thoughts.
That is until Oscar's pocket started vibrating. Lena sat up and ran a hand through her hair, smoothing it out while Oscar sat up after her and answered the call.
"Que? ok, estaré allí pronto" He hung up quickly and kissed her temple
"I gotta go, but you can stay if you want, I'll be back." His hand remained on her head, stroking her hair.
She smiled softly. Not wanting it to seem like her bubble was bursted, but he noticed. He noticed everything.
"It's cool, I can walk home." She started to get up but he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his lap.
"Ay, you not walkin' home, it's dark." He rested his nose in the crook of her neck
"Stop acting like I've never been out here by myself." She laughed at his overprotective nature.
"Yea I know Molenita goes out whenever and don't give fuck, but Spooky's girl can't walk around by herself. Shit ain't safe." He stroked her arms and placed short kisses against her neck.
She let out a breathy laugh. "It really feels like you're trying to start something, for somebody who got business to take care of."
"Shit mami, it depends on what you let me do to you in next five minutes."
She laughed harder and stood up from his lap and held out her hand.
"Come on, doofus. Take me home."
* * *
He pulled up to her house and put his car in park. Molena removed her seatbelt and leaned over the console to kiss the cross tattoo on his neck, slowly. Oscar quirked his eyebrow, and smirked at her.
"Now who's tryna start something?"
"Shit I'm trying..." She let her eyes rake over him slowly in an exaggerated way, making sure he could see her checking him out. "But you got shit to do vato." She clapped his shoulder and went to open the door as he barked out a laugh.
"That shit ain't gon' slide every time. You lucky I gotta go."
"Just making sure you come back to me. Be safe, Spooky."
"Always mamas."
That time when she got inside, she noticed that he waited for her to get in safely before pulling off.
You ever watch those cartoons when the character is so in love, they float everywhere? That was Molena walking into her house. Smiling like a whole dummy. She might've noticed her father's bags on the couch if she was a bit more lucid.
"Monseeee!! You home pretty girl?" She called out for her younger sister as she shuffled through the mail on the counter.
"She is...but I'm selfish and wanted to see you first."
Molena gasped at the man's voice in front of her suddenly. Her eyes welled up at the sight of her father in the kitchen.
"Dad!" She ran at full speed and almost knocked Monty over, pulling him in for a giant, much needed hug.
"When did you get back!? Why didn't you tell me you were here? I would've came home ASAP!"
He just chuckled and kissed his daughters forehead. "That's exactly why I didn't tell you Lena bean. Also I'm a mean old man who likes to surprise his beautiful daughters. Is that so wrong?"
"It is but I don't care because I love you." She sniffed and pulled away.
"I love you too baby, and as much as I want to catch up with my amazing eldest, I think my youngest needs you a little more right now."
Molena's expression changed from happy to confused and she asked her father to elaborate.
"I don't know, she won't tell me anything, but we both know Monnie. You can tell when something's bothering her. You're always so good with her. Go and have one of those famous girl talks that always picks her up."
Molena smiled, happy to oblige her dad. "Ok Pop. We'll talk later." She kissed Monty's cheek and went to her sister's room.
She knocked softly then entered. Monse was laying across the foot of her bed, her headphones snugly tucked in her ears. She sat up and pulled them out when she saw her sister.
"Hey, pretty girl. What's wrong?" Molena took a seat next to her sister and draped her arm around Monse's shoulders.
"It's nothing. Just stupid teenage stuff." She wipes her face and gave a sad smile but Molena already saw the tears.
"I was a teenager too you know, nothing's stupid if it's making you cry."
"It'll pass. I'll be fine." Monse laid her head on her older sister's shoulder. "These things always do."
Lena pulled back and looked at her "When did you become the big sister?"
Monse tried to laugh but it turned into a sob. Molena instinctively pulled her closer, cradling her head as she cried.
"I love you Mon. You're my favorite person in the whole wide world." She kissed her head and stroked her curls
"I love you too, Lena" Her voice cracked and she sniffles. "Why don't you ever think of mom?"
The older sister sighed, deciding honesty was the best way to handle things. "I do sometimes. Mostly times like these."
"Why?" Monse looked at her sister with tears eyes
"Because she doesnt know how incredible you are. Because she seriously missing out."
"Where do you think she is?"
"I don't know Monse, it's not like she left a map to where she was headed."
Monse laid back in her bed and Lena did the same. They both exhaled loudly, like a weight had been lifted. Monse wipes her face of the fresh tears once again and looked at her sister.
"One more question. Are you doing the nasty with Cesar's brother?"
