CHAPTER 14
The "meeting" between Alejandro and I went surprisingly well.
I say "surprisingly" because I didn't expect to enjoy myself as much as I did. Alejandro and I not only talked about business, but we talked about our lives; he actually wanted to get to know about me—what my favorite TV shows were, what 'The Notebook' was about, why Forever 21 is called Forever 21. It was just nice to take a break from the drama that dealing with Sebastian has brought me.
But the drama starts the moment I wake up the next day.
Today I, as Sebastian's publicist, have to meet with the social media specialists team to finally get Sebastian's twitter and Instagram up and running. After the exit I made yesterday with him, seeing him today may be

** I can't take much of the meeting any longer after the outburst that Sebastian had. After Lucas' embarrassing attempt and regulation and enduring the awkward silence, I excuse myself politely before exiting the conference room to go look for Sarah and Sebastian. I have no idea what I'm going to say when I see them. More specifically, I have no idea what I'm going to say toSebastianonce I see him. For the last couple of days, I have been set on my thoughts about him; I've hated him and his ridiculously arrogant and rude behavior towards me. But his small little slip up has managed to change everything. Walking down the hall at a quickened pace, I stop immediately when I see Sarah giving Sebastian frantic hand gestures in an empty conference room. And instea

** SEBASTIAN Claude told me that I did the right thing by letting her go. I believed him. I believe him now, too. Admittedly, it's hard convincing myself that she's better off without me. I know it's selfish, but I'm selfish, especially when it comes to her. And when I told Sarah this, she explained myownreasoning to me: I'm used to it always being easy. I'm used to it always being black and white. Leslie was my first gray area, where it was more than sex. It became everything else. I accidentally told her how I felt, which was a stupid fucking mistake on my end; I retracted, which made everything worse

**I've been coaching myself to get over it.We called it. We're done. We won't try anymore, and I should get over it. So, that's what I'm doing by sitting in my apartment and eating Oreos. TheGQphotoshoot is this afternoon, meaning I need to get there before the guest of honor gets there. Am I getting dressed? Nope. Apparently, watching Say Yes to the Dress (again) while eating fattening cookies is more important.Pedro is sitting by my foot, staring up at me with a wide-eyed look. I feel as if he's judging me for indulging in sweets instead of doing my job.That, or he wants an Oreo."Don't give me that look," I say to him. "I'm over it. I've cried my tea

** Tumaco, Nariño—Colombia, circa 1993 I didn't meet my father until I was nine. That day was the first and last time I met with him. Mama never talked about him. Never. Didn't even utter his name. We lived in a small house in Tumaco, a town by the sea that borders Ecuador. We made a living selling fruit, flowers and cocoa beans on the street close to the port, sharing the stand with my mother's friend, Maite. We were poor, but I didn't mind; it was just me and her. I was content. My mother was beautiful. She had skin darker than the cocoa beans we sold and hair as thick as wool, always braided into weaving rows on her head. She always said the only things I shared with her were her eyes and

** JULY. I have learned many things about the Quintanilla's since I began working closely with them about three weeks ago. One: they love to live a lavish lifestyle, which means lavish dinners, expensive trips, parties and the materialistic possessions to show for it—sports cars, mansions, private jets, yachts and of course the gifts. Lots and lots of gifts. It started off with simple gift cards to Bath and Body Works or Target or Nordstrom—something I could accept. But then they became bold and moved on to sending me $2,000 Saint Laurent handbags, $700 Christian Louboutin heels, and the icing on the cake: an exclusive invite to Barcelona to spend a week with them at their multi-million-dollar villa.

**Sarah pulls out her iPad and logs onto Sebastian's Instagram. I wait for whatever it is she wants to show me. Apparently, it's comical from the huge smile on her face."First," I start, pointing to the screen. "Just a friendly reminder that we're up one-hundred thousand followers already in the last twenty-four hours. That puts Sebastian at six-hundred thousand in the two days that his Instagram has been up. Amazing!""I know," Sarah replies happily. "And his first picture—the cover for his GQ cover—is already at three-hundred thousand likes. But, that's not the best part. The best part is the freaking comments."Sebastian holds his head in his hand. "Sarah, please don't read them—"

** "I can't believe you came by!" This is said with no trace of discontent but contrarily with gratefulness instead. Alejandro and I are in the kitchen, having excused ourselves from the group (finally) to reconvene. I'm still flabbergasted at his presence. "Your text sounded as if you were in trouble," he replies, taking morebruschettafrom the tray and pops it into his mouth. He chews slowly, savoring the taste. His jaw is strong and defined when he eats. "You literally saved my ass," I tell him. He laughs even though I'm serious. "I knew it wasn't a good idea, coming here." "Well, now we're here. The least we can do now is enjoy ourselves."

**SEBASTIANI'm painfully reminded of how annoying it is to have a girlfriend.Sadly, I don't remember a time where any of my girlfriends didn't annoy me. Every last one of them were nothing but a fucking nuisance."Sebastian, can I use your credit card?" "Sebastian, you said that this would be Prada, but this is Michael Kors!" "Oh, my God, Sebastian let's take a picture for Instagram! This will definitely get me over a hundred thousand likes."I guess the sex is my favorite part. That's sad, isn't it? A relationship should be more than sex, I know. But if you've been in the type of relationships I've been in, sex is the only thing to
