Flashback: Year: 2003

Valentina's pov:

"Onde vamos?" I ask memo because he said it was somewhere I wouldn't expect. "Quise que nuestra primera cita fuera extra especial" He says with the biggest smile I've ever seen. "Los mas especial es tu estando conmigo" i say.

We finally arrive and he opens the door for me. He reaches out for me hand to help me out. I look around and it's the most beautiful view I've ever seen. "Memo, está hermoso este lugar" i say admiring the view. "No mas que tu" his words make me blush.

He grabs my hand and takes me to a blanket set up with dinner and candles. We sit down and he says "ate miras hermosa" "Gracias, tú te miras bien guapo" I say and he smiles. "Hope you like pasta". He says whole reviewing the food he cooked. "Ooo that looks bomb asf" I love everything he cooks. "Rate it" He says taking a fork with pasta and putting  it up to my mouth. I taste it and of course it was delicious. This man is good at everything. "It's so fucking good memo" I say but it's not anything he doesn't know. "Thank you, thank you"

Everything was perfect. He was so romantic and caring. The whole night we just talked and laughed. He was so comforting and made this the best date ever. Even though it's only our first.

"I have something for you" he says and pulls out a box. Yes, I will marry you. Haha imagine. I would say yes even if it's our first date. I know memo is my soulmate, he's the one for me. Nothing will ever change that. He open the box and reveals the most beautiful braclet I've ever seen.

"Esta hermosa memo" i say admiring his gift "It says "I would choose you in every lifetime" on the back" he says and I can't help but blush. "Memo, I love it. This is the best thing someone could get me" I say and hug him. I kiss him and he says "I'm never letting you go"

Present time: Year: 2010

Valentina's pov:

I'm laying in bed thinking about canceling again. I don't really want to go. Ugh but it's time I put myself out there again right?

I finally stand up because it's 5:21 and my date is picking me up at 7:00. I walk into my closet to pick my outfit because I haven't choose it. I'm looking through my clothes and I come across THE dress. The dress I wore on memo and I's first date. It's a crème colored dress with a corset attached. I forgot I still own this. Just from looking at it all of the memories come flowing into my brain. I smile remembering how much fun I had that night. I faintly snap out of it. "Stop thinking about him" I tell myself out loud.

I continue looking for a dress to wear and find a dark red cami dress. I match it with a black leather coat. I look in the mirror and yup this is the look. I cant stop thinking about what if this works out? It's finally getting to me that memo might not be the one. A tear falls from my eyes but I wipe it and shake it off. "Concentrate Vale concentrate" I tell myself needing to get ready.

I shower and do my hair. Soft curls with my hair down it is. I go back to my closet and change into the dress. I check the time and it's 6:25 so Im on time. I go to my vanity and do my makeup. Not too much because I will probably end up sweating it out. I do some no make up-makeup. I start to pick out my jewelry and choose a gold necklace with a heart. I want to wear a bracelet too. Im looking through them when I come across the bracelet memo gave me on our first date. I still can't believe im going on a date with someone who isn't him.

I mean im very nervous because i haven't been on a date with anyone who isn't memo. I mean he was my first love. He was my first everything. I never dated other people because I've liked him since we were kids. Oh god now I'm panicking and it's now 6:49. Fuck I have to hurry. I choose a gold thin Tiffany & co bracelet and do last checks.

I put some black heels and my coat on, I walk downstairs and hear a knock on the door.

Memos pov:

I walk up to her door and knock on it. I hear footsteps approaching the door and my heart is pounding. God I shouldn't do this. This is dumb. Im about to walk away when she open the door. Fuck.

"Hola memo, Qué haces aquí?" Says the girl standing in her pijamas. "Oh hola, nomas quería verte" i say awkwardly lying "Oh quieres entrar?" She says and let's me in "Gracias Andrea" I say while walking into her living room.

"Que onda? Estas bien?" She asks while we both sit on her couch "Si si, nomas quería verte" i say not really having a reason to be here "Oh okay quieres algo de tomar?" She says while getting up into her kitchen "Si, tequila" i say needing a drink for distraction. I shouldn't be here. I'm only here to distract myself from Valentina's date.

I don't want to do anything I will regret, I should leave. Andrea is my friend but I know she likes me. I wouldn't want to do anything with her but just to talk to her until I know Valentina's date is over. That's fucked up but I cant leave now, that would be weird.

"Here you go" she say dans hand me my drink. I drink the whole glass then say "So how have you been?" Not really knowing that so say "Good, you? I haven't heard from you in a while. I'm kinda confused why you're here" She says "Oh yeah sorry I've just have had a lot of practice lately." I say awkwardly "I get it, want to watch a move?" She asks and I agree because it's a good distraction.

A couple hours pass by and I'm getting tired. The movie ended and I hear Andes ask "Do you want to go grab some dinn-" My phone starts ringing and cuts her off. Its bruna, that's wierd. "Sorry give me a second" I say and answer the phone.

"Hey what's up?" I ask confused because we aren't close like that. "Are you with vale?" She asks "No why what's wrong?" I ask because her tone worried me "Do you know where she is?" She asks concerned "Yeah, she's on a date" I say in a blank tone "Well you sure sound happy but do you know who she's with?" "No? I thought you would know." I say but I'm confused "Why are you calling me? What happened?" I ask now worried "I haven't heard from her all night. It's 11pm she should be home by now."

I start to worry because for all we know she could've gone on a date with a serial killer. I should've never let her go but I don't have that right. "I'll go try to find her" I say and bruna says she'll keep calling her. "Hey, I have to go. I'll call you later" I tell Andrea "Okay, see you later" she says in a sad but understanding tone.

I call Valentina but she still not answering. I get in my car and just start driving. I don't know where I'm supposed to find her but I just keep driving. I'm move worried now because brunas right, she should be home by now or at least call to say she's okay. I start driving and looking everywhere.

I cant stop at restaurants because most are closed. I drive by the beach when I see what seems to be a very drunk Valentina and a random guy walking. Spotted. I stop the car where they are and say "Vale?" "Ah, Huh? What?" She says squinting her eyes. I get out of the car and am faced with her date. Diego Boneta. He's a younger guy and he's short. Good. "Hey, who are you?" He says. I ignore him because he knows who I am "Vale, you good?" I ask her "So good, why?" She says so drunk

"Why'd you let her drink this much?" I hiss and the guy " I dont have control over her" he says rudely but cant blame him, I hate him too. "You had us worried,  where is your phone?" I ask "Right here!" She says while laughing. Huh? How is that funny? I cant be más her laugh is so cute. "We'll then maybe next time you should use it for its purpose" i say while holding her up because she was basically falling "Sorryyy" she says then smiles

Valentina's pov:

"Do you need a ride?" Memo asks while pulling me close to him. "No, we're on a date" says Diego while grabbing my hand "Actually Diego, I'm too drunk and I don't want you to see me like this. I'm embarrassing myself in front of you" I says with a laugh and let his hand go "Nothing you do is embarrassing" he says with a smile. He's cute.

I'm not that drunk honestly but id rather go with memo. "You're sweet but I'll text you later" I say "Okay stay safe" he says and hugs me. I could see memo roll his eyes from the corner of my eye. He better be jealous.

"Ya nos vamos o que?" I ask as Diego walked away. To be completely honest I don't like Diego, duh. I probably won't go out with him again because I don't like him and I don't want to use him to get over memo. "Vámonos" he says and opens the door for me. I never realized how much I liked when he did that until Diego didn't do it.

I immediately text bruna to tell her in fine because I hadn't seen her messages until now. She called me "Hey you dumb bitch, you had me worried. You better send me your location next time" she says with a sigh "Sorry, I didn't feel my phone ringing. Btw did you tell memo to pick me up?" I say and I see memos head shoot at me "I mean that was my intention but he offered before I could ask. Weird that in every situation it's always memo to your rescue" she says in a 😏 tone. "Nooo, he's just my best friend" boyfriend, god I wish. Memo looks over owing we're talking about him.

Memos pov:

I hated her calling me her best friend. She's my wife but she just don't know it yet. I hear her say goodbye to bruna and I ask "So, how was your date?" Wanting to know if he did better then me "Good, he's really sweet" she says smiling "Did he cook for you?" I ask teasing our first date "No but he said next time he would" she says and I know she's lying "So there is gonna be a next time?" He would be crazy not to ask her out again. "Why you so mosey?" She asks and laughs "I'm not, I thought this is what bestfriends do" good save memo "Fine, I'm not sure but he's perfect for me so its a 95% yes" she says with a smile. Her calling him perfect for her hurt so much I almost broke down right there.

I drive her home and waved at her til she was in her house. The reality of them working out and me never getting her back hit me. The tears just flowed on down my face. I still believe we will end up together, no matter what.
