ELENA'S POV:
I held onto Kairi's hand a little tighter as we walked into Alejandro's room. Mattia was there. He locked eyes with me before checking out my outfit. For the first time I felt insecure. As if he was judging me. It was harder to read him now that we weren't together. Before I'd be able to understand him, but it felt like we were strangers now. Awkward strangers.
Kairi sat down on Ale's bed and I took a seat on the couch. The boys were too busy talking about the trip to Vegas they were planning to notice Mattia had gotten up and sat next to me. I felt my body tense up and looked over at Kairi. But he was too busy talking about room arrangements.
MATTIA'S POV:
She was wearing Kai's hoodie. The brown one. And all I could think about was how much better she looked in my hoodies.
I saw a wave of nervousness go across her face when I came to sit next to her.
"I'm not going to do anything Elena" I said softly. She sunk into the couch without saying anything. I pressed my lips together and looked down.
"So" I cleared my throat. Why was I so bad at this? "H-how are you and Kairi?"
She smiled and her eyes softened. Fuck.
"We're pretty good actually" she said.
"Elena I think I still-"
"Hey losers get over here!" Alejandro yelled. Talk about bad fucking timing.
"What were you saying?" Elena asked, as she stood up and adjusted her hair. It was in a messy bun. But it looked so good on her.
I shook my head and stood up "it doesn't matter".
She tilted her head and looked at me, almost as if she was trying to read my mind. I looked in her eyes, and a small part of me just wanted to kiss her lips. But I knew better.
"Whatever you say Polibio" and with that she walked over to the boys and sat next to Kairi. I watched her walk away and it was almost as if my brain made her move in slow motion. Butterflies filled my stomach as I saw her smile and laugh with the boys. Her smile was infectious, and those dimples didn't make it any easier for me to fall out of love.
I sighed and went over to sit with Roshaun.
"Okay these are the sleeping arrangements" said Ale with a deep breath. He looked nervous for some reason.
"Kairi and Elena you're both in one room" he said. They both nodded in agreement, while I rolled my eyes.
"Mattia and Robert are in another, and Alvaro and Roshaun you'll be in another room" said Ale.
"So where will you sleep?" asked Kairi, making Alejandro go red. Everyone was confused and I picked up the laptop he was using.
"Alejandro and Vic in room 236" I read out loud.
"Aw come on man why'd you have to do that" said Ale, hiding his face in his hands.
"You're taking Vic?" asked Alvaro. Everyone else was smiling but he was a deep shade of red. It must've been serious too because no one ever made Alejandro turn red.
"Y-yeah I asked her out yesterday, get off my dick" he said, making us all laugh. I patted him on the back, almost like it was a proud dad moment.
"No funny business" I smirked, causing him to punch me in the arm.
"Anyway" said Ale "we're flying out tomorrow at 5am sharp so everyone be at my place for 4:30am and the Uber should be on time"
Everyone nodded and we all got up to leave since it was getting late. I picked up my phone from the dresser and turned around to leave. But before I left I turned around to look at Elena. She was already looking at me. I smirked knowing I'd caught her staring and she blushed and looked down. I left the house with Robert soon after, and couldn't get her off my mind.
"This is gonna be a fun holiday" I said.
"Mattia don't do anything stupid" Robert replied.
I pretended to be shocked but then laughed instead.
"When do I ever do anything stupid?" I said with a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
"You know what I mean" said Robert "don't go breaking hearts again" and with that he turned to walk the opposite direction to his house.
Breaking hearts? The only broken heart around here was mine. But I put the thought of broken hearts to the back of my mind.
I wasn't letting anything ruin this vacation.
