"Memo, Valentina, Para aqa" Yells one of the paparazzi guys. The flashing lights are in our face as we're walking and I almost trip on my face but memo catches me. "Gracias" "Estan juntos otra vez?" Yells another paparazzi. That made us walk faster.

We finally made it to his car and he open the door for me. "Ya regresaron juntos?" Yells another paparazzi as the door is closing. I'm holding my hand over my face as memo gets in the car. "Vámonos" he says as he speeds away. "Por fin" i say relieved that the cameras were gone.

We drive around the whole city."Qué bonito es nuestro país no?" I say admiring Mexico City "No mas que tu" he replies. I look over at a concentrated memo. I admire his features. Just getting lost daydreaming about him. Thinking about our first date.

Flashback: Year: 2003

We arrived at this private location. It was so beautiful. "Memo, está hermoso este lugar" I say admiring the view "No mas que tu" His words make me blush.

End of flashback:Present time: 2010

I'm zoned out thinking about that moment when he snaps me out of it. "Qué piencamientos estás teniendo?" He says. "Nothing" I say not wanting to talk about it "Okay if you want to talk, i'm here" He says and looks over at me. I smile at him and we keep driving for a while.

We arrive at his house and i was very confused so I asked "What are we doing here?" I was expecting to go home "I thought we could chill for a bit" He says while getting out of the car. He comes around but before he could open the door for me I open it myself. "Memo, this isn't a good idea" I say not getting out of the car. "What do you mean, we're just gonna have some drinks" he says innocently "No memo, I don't think we should" i say closing the door. "Cmon Vale, just for a little bit. We can catch up and stuff" I finally agree because what's the harm?

I walk into his house and I'm surprised it's still the same. I had helped memo furnish his house about 4 years ago. I smile proud of my work. "So what drink do you want?" He says turning the lights on in the kitchen and walking to his bar. "Whatever you're having" "Two mojitos it is" He says starting on the drinks. I sit down on his couch and turn on the tv. I put on my movie because why not?

"What did you think of the movie for real?" I ask reviewing my acting. "It was good but it would've been better if I played Sebastian(Male lead)" He says and i laugh. "Why you laughing I'm being so for real" He says while walking over with our drinks. "I could kiss so much better then that" he says while handing me my drink and taking a seat next to me. I ignored his comment and took a big sip form my drink.

"So, why did you want me to come here?" I ask because we haven't spoken in about a year. "Just missed us being friends" He says and then I felt my heart be stabbed again. Why do I set myself up? "Why now? I mean you haven't spoken to me in a year." I say kinda mad. "I know and I'm sorry, it's just been hard but I don't want to loose the friendship we had." He says looking down. Friendship? Is that all he doesn't want to loose? Why do I still have hope for us when he keeps shutting all of that down? "Okay" I say not really knowing how to respond.

It got kind of awkward which is why I didn't want to be alone at first. "Can you bass me the bottle?" I ask knowing I can't get though this without more alcohol in my system. He passes it and I fill up my empty cup with straight tequila. I take a couple big sips. Strong but needed. He stays silent and I just look at the frozen television since he stopped looking for a movie.

"I want to apologize for just kind of cutting you out. I didn't know how to reach out. I was still getting over our breakup and couldn't really face you" he says looking up. TEARS, TEARS ARE IN MY EYES. Does this mean he's over me? Is this it? Did he lie to me all this time? Did I wait for him for nothing? God I feel so stupid.

"Are you serious?" I say laughing while crying. "What?" "Ha, so that's it? Your over me now? You lied to me." "Wai-" he says getting closer to me. I back up and say "No, are you kidding me? God I am stupid. Why did I believe you? Did you lie the whole time?" I say still laughing yet choking on my own tears.

"No, Look-" I cut him off immediately. "NO" I say basically yelling. I stand up and start moving around because I can't stay still anymore. He looks down again.

God I'm stupid. I waited for him, I rejected so many people because I thought he still loved me. Did he know all of this when we first broke up? Did I just look like a clown this whole time?

I chug down my whole drink and the drink started tasting like mistakes.

"Damm memo, i really believed what you said. Why did I wait?" I say refilling my cup "No, I did mean it" I take a couple sips again, this made me extra drunk. Perfect. "Obviously not" I say sloppy while basically falling on the couch. "Maybe you should stop drinking" he says hovering over my defenseless body removing the drink from my hand. My grab his face which surprised him.

"You are one gorgeous man Ochoa. I-It sucks that you're no longer mine" I say while looking into his eyes. "We can talk when you're sober" he says removing my hands from his face. "I am so sober" i say slurring my words. He sits back down. "You won't even remember this" he says in a low voice. "Are you mad at me?" I ask sitting up "No, I'm mad my myself" He says in a low tone "Why?" "Nothing we'll talk when you sober up"

"I have a question" I say to him while looking at him. He looks me in the eye with the softest look ever. "When did you stop loving me?" Tears form in my eyes but I don't cry. He looks away from me when the tears forming in his eyes as well. "I don't think we should talk about this right now." He says filling another glass with gold tequila.

I lay back knowing I won't get him to talk. "I missed you" I say while looking over at him. He lays back next to me "I missed you too" He says with the shiniest eyes as a tear falls down. I turn to him and wipe his tear. We just sit there staring at each other and it reminds me of when we first started dating. When we used to stay up all night talking and laughing while laying the same way were laying now.

"I want our friendship back too" I say to break the silence even tho it wasn't awkward "Good, because I don't want to loose you" he says while cuddling up on me. I was super comfortable but this was only making me want him more. I knew this wouldn't happen again so I enjoyed the moment.

He looked up at me and stares at the necklace I'm wearing "Te recuerdas cuando te compré un collar así?" He says talking about the necklace he bought me before we were even dating "Todavía es mi favorita" I say while smiling into his eyes. I look down at his lips. We both go silent. I want to kiss him to badly but it will only make things wors-
