Zabdiel feels your warm body part from his and immediately knows the reason why, irritated he says "don't want to keep the rich boy waiting"

You look over your bare shoulder at him to see him looking at you with a bored expression, with a sigh you slip on your shirt then your underwear that was by your feet before standing from the bed to grab your jeans by the door.

You look at Zabdiel as you fiddle with the tough fabric of your jeans "you know I wish things could be different" your voice is small, Zabdiel looks over to you, his eyes soften at your nervous tick.

"I don't know why it's so hard for you to leave him," Zabdiel says, the attitude that was on his face not showing through his voice.

You open your mouth to speak just as your phone rings, Sam's name lights up on your phone making you curse under your breath.

"Hey baby" you answer putting on your best enthusiastic voice making Zabdiel's jaw tighten.

"Where are you? You dad is asking for you" he's annoyed

"I'm on my way right now, I forgot some things at home" you lie, "just hurry," sam says before grumbling a "bye" and hanging up the phone.

You look to Zabdiel who's not glaring at the wall behind you, "I can't just break up with him, Zabdiel" you sigh as you start putting on your jeans.

Zabdiel slides to the end of the bed with a scoff. "Why not?" He says as he picks up his boxers from the floor and slips them up his long legs.

"We've been over this, this is who my family expects me to marry since we were 3 we've been promised to the other family, I'm becoming a Salas next month and there's nothing I can do. The Salas have done so much for my family. "

Zabdiel stands to his feet turning to you "don't marry him" he says likes it's really that simple.

"And go against my family? Against the Salas, the leaders of a drug cartel?" You furrow your eyebrows.

Zabdiel shrugs "I just-" he starts but your phone dings with a text.

Sam 💕 Where are you??? My family is arriving

You curse under your breath as you quickly collect your purse and keys.

"I got to go, I'll see you at the party," you say and just as you're about to walk out of his bedroom he grabs your wrist to pull you back for a kiss.

His lips you're so familiar with feel the best against yours and you've known you want to feel them forever, which only hurts you more that, that can't be the case.

"I love you," Zabdiel says softly when he pulls away.

Your heart simultaneously aches and swells at his words, "I love you too" you say genuinely

———————

It's your uncles birthday, your parents offered him a party at their house, all your cousins, Tias and Tios have made an appearance for the cookout.

"So when's the wedding?" Your tia Meghan looks from you to Sam who's standing by the barbecue pit with your dad and his dad.

"Next month actually" you smile but only out of habit.

"I'm so excited for you two, your mom and I always hoped you and Sam would end up together." You laugh softly, that wasn't news to you, your mom has always been team, Sam.

"I'll be right back" you excuse yourself from the table

You walk over to Sam, your Dad, and Michael(his dad). "Hi" you smile at Sam before turning to your dad. "I'm gonna get myself water from inside, you want one?" Your dad quit drinking about 2 years ago.

"Sure," your dad says enthusiastically.

"You guys want anything from inside?" You ask Sam and Michael.

"I'm good, thank you mija" Michael says.

"I'll come with you," Sam says making you scrunch your eyebrows as to why he wants to go inside with you for two bottles of water but you say nothing as you make your way inside.

Once the door shuts behind you two Sam says lowly "you reek of him" you swallow a lump in your throat "what are you talking about?" You question

"You were with him" you know you were caught but your brain just kept saying 'Deny. Deny. Deny'

"Don't be stupid" you scoff and try to walk off but before you could even take a second step your arm is grabbed and you're pulled back.

"I've ignored it for a few weeks now because let's be honest I'm not the most faithful" he starts making your jaw clench, you'd had your suspicions and though you didn't love Sam like you use to it still stung. "But I can't risk letting this go on and someone finding out" he steps closer to you "so you better stop before I find a way to put a stop to it"

He's threatening you, it causes anger to boil inside as you straighten your back and tilt your head up to appear less small, "are you trying to scare me, Sam?"

"Take it as you wish" he shrugs

"You're really funny if you think that's gonna work on me" you spat out

Sam takes another step forward now blocking you in between his body and the wall behind you, he's so close you can smell the beer on his breath as he says  "I know what will work on you. When I take away everything you have, everything my family has given you and your family" he has a cocking smirk as he looks over your face "I'll ruin your fucking life"

This does scare you because it's exactly what you were afraid of, but you try your best to maintain your composure, only showing a slight switch when the corner of your lip twitches slightly, but Sam catches it making his eyebrow raise.

He steps back, away from you, "think it over muñequita" and with a shake of his head, he walks into the kitchen where your mom, Noemi, and your tias are gossiping as they cook.

You take a few seconds to compose and will yourself not to cry before putting on a fake smile for your family as you walk into the kitchen.

Sam is already trapped in a conversation with your tia chismosa who's asking questions like "when's the wedding?" "When are you bringing babies into the family"

You stand by your mom as she chops up ingredients for her potato salad.

She glanced over at you and you give her a closed-mouth smile. "Que paso? Why do you look bien triste"

You look over at Sam as you say "I'm fine just tired, didn't get more than 3 hours of sleep last night" you say

Your mom is about to reply when the doorbell rings "I'll get it" you say pushing yourself off the counter and walking over to the door.

Swinging it open, you're met with a very put together Zabdiel, which is quite the opposite of how you last saw him.

"Hi" he smiles and steps forward to hug you and kiss your cheek. When he pulls away you look over to the kitchen where Sam is watching the two of you.

"Come in, my mom's in the kitchen with your mom" you say refusing to make eye contact with the Puerto Rican.

"Ok" he drags out and walks past you to the kitchen.

As your mom and tia gush over your tall friend about how handsome he looks and how well his career has been you grab a water bottle from the fridge and slip out with Sam right behind you

You do your best to avoid Zabdiel the rest of the party, afraid of what Sam would do if he saw you even breathe in Zabdiel's direction.

it's only after everyone has eaten when guest slowly start leaving that it gets harder to hide from Zabdiel.

You spot him by the oldest tree in the backyard talking to multiple of your uncles, and your dad beers in hands as they laugh at each other's stories and jokes.

You feel for him so greatly and watching the way his eyes squint as he laughs warms your heart, you find yourself wishing with everything in your body that you and Zabdiel will be able to get together for real one day.

When he feels your gaze on him his eyes meet yours a smile on his face but you can't find the energy to even fake a smile back because no matter how bad you want to be happy with him, you're getting married in two weeks and you'll never be able to see him again.

you quickly look away when you feel a hand on your thigh.

"ya vamonos" Sam says making you nod.

You walk over to your dad, uncles, and zabdiel. give them a hug and a kiss on the cheek goodbye.

Zabdiel tries to keep you in the hug longer then you intended because he knows somethings wrong, but you pull away roughly not even looking up at him as Dam grabs your hand.

"Drive safe, text me when you get home," your dad says

And you leave, without sparing Zabdiel one more glance because you know it'll hurt too much.

He texts you that night at 1:13 am but you don't answer, Zabdiel stares down at the "read 1:15 am" for 2 minutes hoping he'd see that 3 bubbles pop up but they never do.

Noche infinita

hey? so ik i’ve been VERY inactive with stories and all but the amazing @ericks-mala-actitud reached 300 followers (still so proud!!) and was hosting a writing contest and I thought, if I’m going to get back into the writing spirit it had to be for her. So on that note, Lauren, I hope you like it love 

~

She ran through the flower field blissfully as the boy behind her rushed to catch up. She stopped abruptly after a few minutes and admired the view from such a height. The hill they were on let them see the town below them stretch for miles. The boy jogged up to her slowly catching his breath with a smile.

“Someone’s excited” he chuckled setting down both their bags and latching onto them from behind. She sighed upon feeling his head fall onto hers as they admired the landscape before them. Grabbing her hand, he turned his girl around and smiled. He looked down at her and admired the way the setting sun hit her glowing orbs perfectly. Well, that’s because she’s perfect, he thought. After a few minutes of silence, the girl chuckled.

“What are you looking at?”

“You.” He grinned leaning down and encasing her lips in his. Pulling away she laid he forehead upon his. He closed his eyes breathing in deeply.

“I missed this, I missed you.” He confessed holding her closer to him. She grabbed his hand tightly with a soft smile.

“I’m here now. Tu también. disfrutemos ahora, while we still have it…” standing on the tops of her feet she wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his around her waist as the stars showed softly behind them.

“…Hagamos de esta noche una noche infinita.”
