It had been a good 4 hours into the party and to say people were having fun would be a understatement. Aleesha was moderately drunk and couldn't keep her hands or lips off of Richard. Aaliyah and Zabdiel had sat in the corner booth talking while sipping the same glass of tonic since they had arrived. Ray, Christopher, Joel and Erick stood looking down at the crowd below

"Yooooo! let's go!" Ray said pulling the boys as Se Vuelve Loca started blasting
"No, i'm good" Joel protested
"Yeah, i've got 2 left feet" Erick said

Ray looked towards Christopher who downed his drink his drink and grabbed Ray's hand and pulling her down to the dance floor. Erick watched with a clenched jaw as Christopher gripped Ray's hips which swung to the beat

"you had the chance to be in Christopher's place, why do you keep doing this to yourself bro" Joel asked
"because she doesn't like me okay, i'm just her best friend who she flirts with from time to time okay. nothing more" Erick replied angrily before making his way downstairs to get a drink from the bar

In the corner electricity ran up Zabdiels arm at Aaliyah's slight touch from her laughing so hard about Zabdiel's story about his first kiss. Her smile was absolute treasure to him and her laugh? music to his ears. Zabdiel didn't get how he fell for someone so quickly. He was eager to know everything about Aaliyah and in the 4 hours they had been sat together he got a bit of intel about her

Apart from her age he found out that she loved reggeton, she met Aleesha and Ray through Instagram and that she was Mexican. She also tend to look down a lot when she blushed and tapped her glass whenever she was thinking. She had been a fan of CNCO since she discovered them on the mainstream

"well it's not half as embarrassing as mine" Aaliyah said finally allowing herself to calm down
"try me nena" Zabdiel challenged
"well, we were 15 and it was a dare, i didn't know how to kiss but he did or i believed he did. He tried to lead the kiss but we ended up bumping heads and when we finally "kissed" he kinda just sucked on my lip then pulled away" Aaliyah recalled "and since then i refuse to kiss a boy"
"wait, for real?" Zabdiel asked
"yup, waiting for that right one to right that wrong" Aaliyah joked
"you'll find him nena, give him some time" Zabdiel answered
"i tried that, i found him, or i thought i found him" Aaliyah trailed off
"He hurt you didn't he?" Zabdiel asked
"more then you can imagine" Aaliyah said playing with the rim of her glass
"hey guys have you seen Ray, Chris and Erick we need to go home" Richard interrupted, a drunk Aleesha hanging off his arm
"is- is she drunk again?" Aaliyah asked gesturing to Aleesha
"love a woman who can't handle her liquor" Richard joked
"We're here!" Ray said bouncing over with Christopher
"okay now where's Erick?" Richard asked
"I'll go look for him" Ray opted

Making her way around the club Ray carefully scanned the crowd looking for the fire engine red jacket he was wearing. Soon enough her eyes found it but along with it was a sight she wishes she never seen. She walked up to where Erick sat with the girl on his lap and slammed her hand on the table

"We gotta go, you can play tonsil tennis with her later" She scoffed bitterly as they pulled away "you know your way to the car"

Ray strutted off, passing the group and situating herself in the car Christopher and Joel had come in rather than her usual car. Not saying a word they convoyed back to the CNCO house where Richard helped Aleesha upstairs and Aaliyah made a bee line for the bathroom.

Ray walked to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water in hopes of calming her emotions down but to no avail when it slipped out of her hand and shattered on the floor causing her to burst out in tears. Christopher was the first and only recipient on the scene and he noticed Ray's sobbing figure before the glass

"Leave it, i'll clean it up later" He said helping her up "what's wrong bebé?"
"it's nothing" Ray shrugged
"it's not nothing if you're crying over a glass" Christopher pushed "either you tell me or i get Erick"
"No!" Ray said quickly "when i went to find Erick i found him making out with some chick in the club"
"and why does it bother you? i mean you don't like him now do you?" Christopher said
"I like him! okay fuck there i said it! I like him! His stupid dorky smile, those amazing green eyes, when he sings, or dances or tries to make up a rap so i can remember the cardio vascular system" Ray said with a little giggle "but clearly he doesn't feel the same way"
"but i do" Erick said entering the kitchen
"didn't stop you from kissing that girl though did it?" Ray spat
"Ray-
"save it Erick" Ray said before pushing past them and going upstairs, opting to share a bed with Aaliyah once she got back

Once Aaliyah got out of the bathroom her ears picked up on a beautiful melody coming from the right. Taking a leap of faith she followed the sound as it got louder and louder until it was hidden behind a door. She took a deep breath and opened the door to reveal the CNCO home studio and at the control sat Zabdiel belting some melodies into a mic

She quietly made her way behind him, setting her hands on his shoulders slightly scaring him. He smiled and took the headsets off, gesturing for her to sit down

"That sounded beautiful" Aaliyah complimented
"thanks, been working on it but i don't think it sounds complete" Zabdiel shrugged
"lemme hear" She said

Zabdiel didn't protest, slipping the headsets onto her head gently and beginning the track labelled "Pretend mp3" on his laptop. The sound of a guitar reached her ears before the lyrics played along with it. Aaliyah closed her eyes letting the music take control of her body until the last note

"I'm no Metro boom or whatever but that was amazing Zabdi" Aaliyah smiled
"thanks" he said shyly
"who's it about?" She asked curiously
"Appa" Zabdiel answered not missing a beat

Aaliyah's heart sank, she couldn't believe it. He wrote a song about his cat over her??

"I'm kidding, it's about you" Zabdiel answered

Aaliyah looked down once more and blushed

"you look down a lot hey" Zabdiel quipped
"do i now" Aaliyah laughed

Zabdiel places his finger under her chin, lifting her head and moving closer

"Yeah" he whispered before connecting their lips in a sweet and sensual kiss. Aaliyah allowed herself to get lost in it, quickly pulling herself out after a minute
"Zabdiel" she began
"i get it, you don't wanna rush things" Zabdiel said
"i'm not ready" Aaliyah sighed

Zabdiel put a hand on her thigh comfortingly
"i'll wait"
