Is Shaw Graham's daughter in the spotlight now? EVERYWHERE! It doesn't matter on which website you are. It's there always.

Asra's still asleep next to me. I don't know what we are. A couple? A little more than friends.

They yawn. "Where am I?"

"Uhm...good morning?"

"Oh, I remember. Was there something? Last night?"

"You could say it like this."

They take a look under the covers. "For God's sake. Why am I naked?"

"You're naked?"

"WHAT DID WE DO?"

"I don't know...I'm going to get you some clothes."

"That's a very good idea."

I pull a sweater, pants, socks and underwear out of my dresser and throw them on the bed.

"Could you please turn around for a sec?"

I turn around, till they say: "Ready."

"What about breakfast?", I suggest.

"Yeah, I really need that right now."

We go to the kitchen, where mom's preparing pancakes."

"Good morning!", she says.

"Good morning, ma. This is Asra,..."

"...the person who works at Starbucks with you."

I smile.

"I also heard the name a few times while falling asleep yesterday...although you couldn't really sleep with the noise."

I blush.

I turn to Asra...they blush even more. "What have we done?"

"I actually didn't hear anything...but know I know. A clever trick, huh?"

"MA!"

"Pancakes are ready!", she says.

My phone pings.

deliagm: I'M CAME OUT TO MY DAD!!!

I put the phone away. "Ma, these smell delicious."

"Yeah, Miss Delgado, I don't think I've ever smelled anything so good."

"Thank you...I hope they taste as good too."

***

Asra's gone. We still have no idea what happened yesterday.

I open Instagram. First, in my feed there's a photo of deliagm.

In the dim light you can see a few features of her face. Far too few to get a full picture of her appearence, but enough to make my heart beat faster. Camilia, you've something going on with Asra...you can't just develop feelings for somebody else. Not now.

I turn off my phone. Why am I so screwed up?
