missing💞 (Carlos Mena🤤)

Fifty Three

Alex had invited me to hang out. And I said of course, because I had missed him so much. I told Carlos and he was ok with it. He would be taking care of Amaya for a couple of hours. Carlos was ok just cause he knew Alex wouldn't do anything. If I would of told him Jabez was coming he would of got so jealous. He knows something and he doesn't want to tell me.

I walk to Alex's apartment and knock on his door.

Alex: hey! You made it!
Emily: yeah, I wouldn't of missed it!
Alex: thanks for agreeing to help me with the party
Emily: no problem, I love parties
Alex: yeah more when you drink

Well, I can't now.

Emily: I'm not drinking tonight
Alex: why?
Emily: Amaya
Alex: yeah, she's growing really fast
Emily: yeah she is

*time skip*

I smile as Marisol begins to "twerk" on me. Alex starts recording us and just keeps on saying "what the fuck".

Marisol stops and we laugh as Alex stares at us.

Emily: you didn't know?
Alex: what?
Emily: she's my girlfriend
Marisol: we're getting married

She shows him my hand and Alex's mouth drops.

Alex: wait are you playing?
Emily: Alex of course-
Alex: no I mean, he proposed to you?

My smile disappears slowly as he seems shocked. I can't really read his expression.

Alex: why didn't you tell me?
Emily: it's kind of private
Alex: wait

He gets closer to me. He talks low in my ear so no one else hears.

Alex: are you pregnant?
Emily: what?
Alex: I can tell Em
Emily: that's kind of rude

We laugh and he hugs me.

Alex: congratulations...I'm really happy for you

I hug him tighter. I had really missed my best friend.

*time skip*

Through out the whole night Jabez kept on looking at me. I couldn't help but smile and get red. He made me feel like when I was with Carlos at first. When nothing is official. When you don't have a baby. And you have no worries.

I miss that.

I get up and go to the kitchen because I started feeling guilty. I hadn't done anything. But I felt like by just looking at him, I felt like I had done something bad. I felt like throwing up.

My mind started to remember all the things that Carlos did. It started to hurt me. I realized that he had hurt more than once. Man we're so toxic sometimes.

I look to see Jabez walking in the room.

Jabez: hey
Emily: hey

We both couldn't stop smiling. He started getting close to me. I really wanted to stop. But then I didn't. He was so.....what am I saying? I love Carlos. I'm going to marry Carlos.

Revenge.

Revenge would feel nice.

Jabez and I just talked. We were just talking. His laugh made me feel better. For a moment I forgot everything in my life. His eyes were beautiful. His hair looked so curly. He seemed to get closer every time. He started leaning in. I just stayed there. When our lips touched, I felt good for a moment. I immediately felt bad after I thought of Carlos. I pushed him back slightly.

Jabez: I'm sorry I don't know what I was think-
Carlos: what the fuck?

I look at the doorway and see Carlos standing there.

Oh shit.
