"ouch take it slow" Felipe said with an arrogant voice
"oh you should be thankful that I'm treating your wounds " I roll my eyes and try to not explode of anger
"alright , now let's take care of the bruises on your ugly face" I laugh at my own joke, I'm so funny
he puts his hoodie on and he sits correctly so I can help him taking care of his bruises
there's two bruises , one next to his mouth and one in his cheeks
I start treating the one in the cheeks
"so..how did you get all these bruises?"I ask him
"I got In a fight with a loser "
he tries to keep it cool but I noticed that I'm hurting him so I tried to slow it down and to make it way more softly
"how did you get in the fight?"
I'm little worried about him , I know that he normally fights with everyone,in fact he is known as Felipe but as well as 2FF : the number two indicate the two F that stand for Felipe Fighter
but this time his bruises looks way more deep than the normal ones that he gets
then he replied at the question that I did before
"there's was a guy who was following me when I was coming to your house..-"
he was worried that the guy who was following him could hurt me too so he decided to take another route ? he's really mindful, I didn't expect it from someone like him
"-.. so I tried to go far away from your house and I've been trying to get far from him as well but he was following all the time until I decided to stop the car and to confront him and then we fought "
he really is short-tempered , he could took another route and find someone to help him than fighting with him and getting such bruises
"who was he?" as soon as I asked this question his face became serious but I could see his sadness
it's like a wave of sadness
"oh, he's just my cousin , he was sent by my mom "
"why did your mom sent your cousin to fight you?" I asked him , even if I knew I shouldn't ask but my curiosity can't resist
"you are asking to many questions and how much time do you need to finish treating my bruises?"
he rolled his eyes and stood up
"alright , I'm hungry, should we go eat ?"
I'm hungry too but going alone with this jerk is too much for me
I already saw him at school , now at home and even eating dinner with him? too much for just a day but free food is the best of the best
what can I do than just accept it
"take your time , I'm going to meet someone then I'm gonna pick you up and let's go eat out "
he went outside while I didn't even decided what to wear
I should do this part after , I'll start with make up
I should do a simple make up , so I need concealer, blush , lip liner , lip gloss and mascara
alright I finished with makeup now I gotta think about my hair
what should I do?
I try to make it in a ponytail but it doesn't match with the makeup
what about half up and half down?
it looks good , let's go with this
now we need only a dress
before I could open my wardrobe i heard the doorbell rings
I opened the door and It was mom
"what's with the makeup, you're gorgeous! where are you going?"
"I'm gonna eat outside with a friend , what about you , isn't aunt coming?" I ask her
"oh she isn't coming , she went to her daughter in law "
"alright , I'm going to dress up"
I go right back to my room and open my wardrobe and I found a little back dress that I didn't put for a while now
I put it on and it looks fantastic
I'm ready ! I spray my perfume and put my heels
then I looked at myself and I dressed up too much , it looks like I dolled myself for him
I ran to my room and changed dress again
this time I'm going to put something comfy
I just put a shorts and a black top
I put my shoes on and then a message made my phone vibrate, I look it up and it was ye Jun
From ye Jun 😎:
["Ines , I'm coming to you right now , let's go eat out ! I'm paying, don't bring with you not even cents"]
oh damn , what do I do now? should I tell him that I'm going to eat with Felipe ?
then I heard the doorbell
it was Felipe
"are you ready?" he asked me
I nodded and then I looked at the phone again to what I should reply to ye Jun
then Felipe came closer to me and looked at my phone
"refuse , you're going with me"
I nodded and write him back
to ye Jun 😎:
["I'm going to eat dinner with somebody else , maybe next time😊"]
and he replied faster than I could imagine
From ye Jun 😎:
["alright, next Friday it's okay for you?"]
to ye Jun 😎:
["alright , sounds good for me !"]
the conversation ended there and me and Felipe went out
I sat in the passenger seat and Felipe was driving
we reached a elegant restaurant, I got off from the car and Felipe too
"let's go in , I already reserved a sit for the two of us "
when did he reserved the sits when he was literally all the time with me and I didn't see him reserve it ?
we enter the restaurant and we were welcomed from a woman who showed us our table
it was too elegant , it felt like a date even if it wasn't
then a waiter came to take our orders
"hi Mr Santiago , are you ready to order?" the man asked Felipe with a big smile in his face
looks like Felipe here is really known
"for me the usual " he replied and then he looked at me waiting for saying what I want to order
"and..for your girlfriend"? the waiter said while writing down what Felipe ordered
"we're not a couple!" me and Felipe say at the same time with the same tone of the voice and made the waiter laugh
I didn't even looked once at the menu
I looked at it and ordered the first thing that I saw
"I'll have pasta with parmesan cheese and tomato sauce "
then the waiter picked up our menus from the table and went away
"I'm really hungry, I hope the food comes right away" I said to Felipe and he was literally on the phone ignoring me
i totally feel like an idiot right now , it looks like I'm talking with a wall .
I am getting bored , Felipe is talking with someone on the phone and the food still didn't come
I was zoning off while looking at the door and then suddenly someone opened the door
it was Daniel , my coworker
what is he doing here? he got a girlfriend?
I was looking at him and then he noticed me right away
he came to me with a big smile
"hey Ines, what are you doing here?" he asked me
then Felipe sat in his sit and looked at Daniel
and also Daniel was looking at Felipe
they were both full of angry in their face
for break the silence I started talking
"umm Felipe, he's Daniel Rodriguez, he's my coworker"
I said while looking at Felipe
"and Daniel , he's Felipe Santiago Garcia, he's my-" before I could continue talking, Daniel interrupted me
"your boyfriend?" he looked at me confused
I was about to deny " no he's-" but this time I was interrupted by Felipe
"she's my fiance , we're engaged, do you want to come to our wedding?"
that stupid jerk , what does he means by that?
then Daniel stares at felipe and went back to his chair in the left side of the room
"why did you say that we're engaged?" but by didn't reply to my question but he changed the conversation
"how do you know him?" he asks me with a confused face
"he Is my coworker at a cafe !" I say with a big smile on my face
"you're working, why?"
I reply at him and explained to him all my situation
"so now you gotta work all the afternoon after school every Tuesday and Thursday?"
i nodded and then he continued talking
"by what time you go off work?"
"at 7/8 pm "
the food finally came !
"omgg finally, I'm so hungry!!"
"wait wait, don't eat !, I have to take a photo!"I screamed to felipe
I stand up and while I was taking the photo I heard Felipe chuckling
then I looked at him but I didn't notice that my face was so much close to his face
he stopped chuckling and I stopped smiling
we kept looking at each other
more I watch his eyes and more I realised how deep they are
it looks infinite like the universe
his eyes are universe but my heart is like an explosive fireworks
I don't know what is this feeling but it's like I got butterflies in my stomach
then our eye contact was stopped by the cough of the waiter who came to put our spoons so we can eat
I sat faster than I could
"THIS IS DELICIOUS!" i said pointing the food
he smiled at me "this yummy too , do you want to try?"
I nodded and he took some of his food with his spoon and he fed me
i didn't expect it , I thought he will give it to me in my plate
he smiled at me and while eating I couldn't stop smiling to him
"do you want to try mine too?" I asked him
"yes , but you gotta fed me " alright Mr Santiago Garcia, I'll fed you but in my way
I take up my food in my spoon and spread it all in his face
"opsie " I couldn't stop laughing till my stomach hurted
his face was all dirty with my food and he looked ridiculous
then he smirked at me , I know that it's gonna happen something
he's gonna do his revenge
we had a little cake in the table and he picked it up with his finger and put it all in my face
"now you look pretty, fantastic!"
this time he continued laughing but I don't know why I couldn't stop laughing too
everyone was looking at us even Daniel
we were too loud I guess
I cleaned my face and also Felipe
then someone called me on the phone
"hello?"
["....miss Velasco?"] the other voice said
"yes? who are you?"
["..."]
Iheard someone crying on the other line
but no one replied
[" Ines..I'm Julian "]
i missed his voice, I've never had a brother here in this novel
but how did he called me if he is in the real life
["Ines...I know everything, I miss you please come back here"]
before even realising it my tears were already out of my eyes
"Julian , how do you know?"
["it's a long story , when you can , call me from this number and let me talk with Henry"]
"okay , tomorrow I'll see him , I'll call you" I reply to him
I miss him , it's been a long time since I've seen him
even if he isn't my brother in this novel , he treats me better than my sisters
["Ines , there is a problem about living there , I can't tell you now , but you can't live in both , you can just choose one"]
then I heard someone talking with Julian
["...Ines listen there is a bodyguard, I'll call you tomorrow, promise ..and don't cry I'm here by your side even if I'm not physically there "]
he whispered and then he closed the call
I don't know what to do anymore , I miss being there and I have still a lot to know about real life and the novel
I want to stay with aunt Diana , with mom , with Julian but I want to stay with Charles , Eduardo , ye Jun and with..Felipe
I can't leave this group , they are too important for me
Felipe was in front or me , he was looking at me
"are you okay Ines?" he asked me while standing up
he then hugged me tightly but I can't stop crying
"don't worry , I'm here , shh ,okay don't worry"
he then picked up my chin and made me look at him
then he wiped off my tears
"don't worry , whatever happened , I'm here by your side"
he smiled at me and then he hugged me again while patting my head
"now let's go home , it's already late and your mom would be worried " he said while went paying for the dinner
then we went out and get in the car
we were in silence for all the time in the car
he was focusing on driving while I was looking out the window
it was already dark and I was so tired , I don't want to think about my real life and my novel one
but can't I just live in both of them?
can't I have a normal life without having to choose?
what did I do so wrong to have this type of problem
I thought at first that it was a good thing but I'm sick of it
I'm tired , even if I want to be strong enough to decide but it's not that easy.
we arrived home , tomorrow I have to work so I have to sleep well
I was about to get off the car but Felipe grabbed my hand
"I'm sorry..."
why did he apologise for ?
"about what?" I asked him but he didn't reply
he just looked at me with a strange face, he was about to cry?
but why? what happened?
he wiped off his tears before I could ask him anything and drove away
now my mind is in total confusion
I opened the gate and went in
they were all already sleeping
I just went to the kitchen and picked up from the fridge a bottle of water
i went in my room and I slept like a baby even if I had a lot of questions in my mind .
"you're sleeping like a baby, aren't you?" I heard someone chuckling while saying it
I opened my eyes and I found ye Jun looking at me
"omg what are you doing here"I said while laughing
"I'm here to pick you up , let's go to school " he replied
I just nodded and got up "I'm going to dress up, stay in the living room"
"alright , but hurry up because we have to go to school early today"
why? after all it's still 7 and we have lesson at 9
some Teachers aren't coming to school , they don't want even to teach
I put on my uniform and went out of my room
"I'm readyyy! " i scream to ye Jun
he was talking with my sisters
"why didn't you tell us you have such a handsome friend"
I can't believe it
"yes yes sure , ye Jun let's go out "
he stands up , says goodbye to my sisters and then he puts on his shoes
i also put my shoes and together we went out
"today I brought with me the motorcycle, I'm sorry but at first I didn't think to pick you up " he says while sitting on the motorcycle
i sit too and i put my hands on his shoulders
ye Jun grabbed my hands and put them around his waist making me closer to him
"it better this way "he said while smirking
i've never felt shy with him but today it's different
I don't understand why but I felt shy and I felt butterflies in my stomach when he putted me closer to him , i was so close that I could heard him breath
we finally arrived at school
we enter the gate and we went to our class
strangely the door was closed
I opened and there was Charles , Eduardo , Henry , Isaac , James , Felipe and Ethan
the room was full of little lights and red and white balloons
there were also confetti
they were all smiling at me and screamed all together "suprise!!!"
"what? omg what is this for?" I say this while smiling at them
I'm so happy , I'm so lucky to have them in my life
"today's san Valentine and since you're the only girl , we decided to have a little party together!!" Eduardo said
then they all came to me and gave me a rose each of them had a rose to give me
even ye Jun gave me one
"omg you're in this too?" I asked ye Jun and he nodded
"guys thank you so much! I really appreciate it , I'm so lucky to have y'all!"
then Charles who was more excited than me screams: "let's have a group hug!"
then we hugged each other
"okay guys , today's Valentine we will have a party with a lot of hot games!" James said with the mic
"so , y'all have to sit before we start!"
we all sit , I sat with Charles and Eduardo
me and Charles were extra happy, we couldn't wait to play the games
"so are you all ready???!!!" James asked us
"YESS!" we all screamed
I didn't care about if we were disturbing other classes or not , I just cared about having fun with them even if it will be the last time...
