“It's not what you're thinking.” He chuckles to ease the tension, saying, “But you don't need to act like you didn't get a red grade at school.” He laughs. “Will you open it please?”I open the case and find a white gold bracelet imitating arabesques and red dots imitating roses. The diamonds and rubies are shining brightly. I am amazed by his thoughtful gesture not to mention closing my mouth, trying to close my eyes as I could not stop staring at the beautiful bracelet.“Selena Garcia, the girl with the prettiest stained blouse I've ever seen and a motor mouth that won’t stop, will you agree to be my girlfriend?” he says with his deep, intense, sexy voice. I absolutely cannot believe it! Is he doing this for real?“Yes... Oh my God... Yes!” I reply, full of tears and watch him tying the shining bauble onto my wrist.He holds my face carefully and kisses me like I am the thing he’s wanted most. It’s amazing how no matter how many times we kissed, it never seemed enough!It is almost n
Hunter:The party is crackling cool, booming with the best crowd I have ever seen. The VIP box is full of people, actually women, and I can’t stand to see them rubbing each other in front of me anymore.I have my needs and I would cater to them from time to time but then the media would come in and give me this bad boy tag when I had not even asked for it. I mean every hook-up or one night stand was through mutual consent. It’s a different thing I never ended up staying the morning because I never felt like it. Today I was honestly quite exhausted after the match and I just wanted to go to sleep but my horny friends wouldn’t let me be and insisted I come along to amp up the atmosphere.I decide to head down to the bar and order a drink called Long Island Iced Tea. And of course, women follow to talk to me. When the girl at the bar hands me the drink, I turn to the opposite side to avoid all those women and end up bumping into another one.Before I know it, my glass slips from my hands
I get home and have to press the doorbell as I’m reminded that I don't have the keys. Valentina opens the door. She talks so fast I hardly understand anything due to her accent.“Why didn't you call? We were worried, but not so much because you are on the news around the world,” she says, speaking a thousand words per minute.“Yeah, I noticed. I saw it on some websites.” I shrug as though it isn’t much of a big deal. I try to be as natural as possible, but I have not gotten used to reading about myself on websites. I have chosen not to give it too much thought and look at the positive aspect of it.I notice my new bracelet from the corner of my eye and my head is in the clouds.“Tell me everything, and we mean everything, don’t you dare leave out any details!” she threatens as Joanna and Katrina come running to join this juicy conversation.“We're dating. Like officially,” I say, jumping up and showing off the bracelet. They all start screaming.“I have a famous friend now!” Katrina s
“Okay, of course we’ll talk to him. I want everything to be right between us,” he replies, and when he said that my heart is filled with joy. The fact that we're together hasn't come out yet and if it does, I want it to start on the right note.“I love you,” I blurt out. Shit, it couldn't have been over the phone.“Are you aware of how happy I am hearing those three little words finally come from that delectable mouth? I love you too, my beautiful,” he replies. He says that he’s got to go now. I blow virtual kisses and hang up my phone, feeling super happy.For the rest of the afternoon, I invite the girls over to my room to watch some nonsense on TV.By 6 p.m. I am looking for my black lingerie set. While dressing, I already begin to analyse various permutations and combinations of what could go wrong on the phone call between me, Hunter and my parents. This is certainly a huge step in our relationship. Over the bra, I wear a loose floral shirt, black tights, a jersey jacket and snea
I wake up to the light in the room. I am sweating from the summer heat but nothing can beat the sight of Hunter all curled up against me. I look at the bedside table and read that it is 7 a.m. It's Tuesday, and I hate Tuesday, because it's way before Friday.I get up to get ready to go to university, before remembering they are in mourning. After doing my morning hygiene, I decide to wake Hunter up. I kiss his cheek, and he smiles lazily, opening one eye at a time.“Good morning lazy bum. I don't want to scare you, but it's already 7:05. Don’t you have to attend your morning training session?” I ask him, offering several kisses to wake him up.He jumps up upon hearing ‘training’, frantically saying, “Oh shit! We need to go soon. I need to get to the training camp by 8 a.m., and I still need to drop you off at the university. Sorry, but there will not be time for us to have breakfast.”“Hunter, calm down. I don't have class today, remember?” I say, laughing at him.“Okay, then let me d
I answer in Spanish.“Hi sister-in-law, how are you?” Sophia asks excitedly.“Hi Sophia. I'm glad you called,” I say, excitedly.“I called to see if you wanted to join me and my friends for a chat. Take a walk, drink, talk and have fun now that the jealous brother isn’t around. Wanna go?” she laughs.“Awww, that’s so sweet of you Sophia. I just finalised plans with my friends; would you like to tag along? That way you can know each other better,” I suggest.“Perfect! It will be great. I’ll bring a friend along. The more women, the better for gossiping,” she says.“Great, let's meet at a karaoke bar in a while, okay?” I let her know the address of the place.“Of course, we’re gonna have lots of fun. See you there, kisses,” she replies and ends the call.Sophia seems to be a friendly person. It isn't simply because she has a rich and famous brother. She is my age and seems to be cheerful and happy. She has a classy, elegant style. I think she is a fantastic person.I put on my black flo
The following day just seems to drag. Class. Lunch. Class. I can’t pay attention in Mr. Rivers' class, and every hour I sneak away to the bathroom to check the game score. Not that I’m truly interested in the game. I am interested in seeing him on the field.It is about two in the afternoon when the game ends and he has several interviews. He is shirtless because he had given his shirt to another player on the opposing team as a fan-gift. Seeing him bare chested, I almost have a heart attack. While walking on campus, people come to comment about how well he plays. Of course... everyone knows we are together.On the one hand, I want to go back to America to flee this madness and hope it passes soon. But on the other, it would mean having to live away from Hunter, and this is eating me up inside. I am madly in love with him, and the thought of being apart hurts me way too much.Finally, I get to go home. The girls and I leave University at 5 p.m. We walk as usual but make a quick stop
“I did get up to dance with him but I felt uncomfortable and excused myself,” I admit. “Then soon after it was getting late and I had university classes the following day, that’s why we decided to leave, didn’t we Sophia?” I say, staring at Victoria. She looked away, scared as she saw me curling my fist!“Yes of course Selena. You're leaving on Sunday, aren’t you?” Sophia says, breaking the ice seconds later by switching the conversation topic. Hunter is silent as this goes on. I am getting really apprehensive and I hope he isn’t misunderstanding me at any point.“Yes, I am. To be more specific, at night,” I say, a little shaken. Reality seems to be catching up.“I think we should go together to New York for the festival. You're going to Panama and Vic and me to New York. What do you think?” Sophia smiles, looking at me.“Of course, it will be great to have company. The girls don't leave for another week.”“The timing will be fine because Jennifer is arriving from London and we will a
