You got into your room, put on a black skirt, made your hoodie look like a crop top and you put on some black boots, took off the cap and pinned your hair up with a silver clip. You also wore some rings. You went down to the lobby and saw Carlos sitting on one of the armchairs. When he saw you, he smiled and stood up.
-You look cute. Ready?
-Yes, let's go.
The bar was a cozy place that exuded an atmosphere filled with energy and joy. Warm and soft lights illuminated the space, creating an intimate and welcoming ambiance. The walls were adorned with dark wood paneling and decorated with vintage photographs and artistic posters, adding a nostalgic and charming touch.
The sound of vibrant music filled the place, enticing patrons to let loose and dance to the rhythm. The murmur of animated conversations blended with contagious laughter, creating a symphony of voices and laughter that hung in the air. Sturdy wooden tables were strategically arranged throughout the space, accompanied by comfortable padded chairs that invited customers to relax and enjoy their drinks. A corner of the bar was adorned with leather sofas and armchairs, creating a more intimate and cozy area for those seeking a bit more privacy.
Carlos took your hand and guided you to the corner, you sat in the leather sofa and he sat beside you. A waitress approached to take your order and returned promptly with the drinks and a complimentary appetizer.
-This place is nice, I like it.
-Yeah, I've been here a couple of times with your brother, we like it here. -He took a sip of his drink.
The bar was the center of attention, with skilled and friendly bartenders mixing and serving a variety of creative cocktails. The shelves were filled with shiny bottles, showcasing a tempting selection of high-quality liquors and spirits. As the night progressed, the atmosphere of the bar became livelier and more energetic. You were already on your fourth drink when Carlos stood up and extended his hand, inviting you to dance. You shook your head and laughed, but he took your hand anyway, and you stood up to dance with him, the song ended and you two sat down again. He glanced at you and quickly looked away with a smile. Carlos looked at you intently, with tenderness and sincerity in his eyes, searching for the right words to say.
-What? -You asked confused.
-I don't want to fuck up the moment.
-Tell me. -You insisted, you were nervous.
-I've been struggling to contain my emotions, but I can't hide the truth any longer. I've been in love with you since the moment I met you. I know I already told you that night at the club, and the truth is, I can't imagine my life without you. It's killing me that you're with Lando. I try to act like it doesn't bother me, but it's been weighing heavily on my mind. -As Carlos spoke, his voice trembled slightly, and his eyes shone with hope that his words would touch your heart the same way your presence had touched his. It was a moment filled with emotion, vulnerability, and courage—a moment in which Carlos fully surrendered himself to the possibility of a shared love. It was now all in your hands, and you weren't sure what to respond. The timing wasn't ideal, and he was telling you what you had always dreamed of. What was happening that now, when you were with Lando, everyone was confessing their love to you?
-I hate that you're confessing this to me now, I have also been in love with you all this time, but I never really had hope. In a way, I gave up and moved on. I wasn't going to wait for you to become available and notice me. I always thought I was just your best friend's sister. I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear. I'm not going to say that I'll leave Lando, that I'll drop everything right now to be with you, because I won't. Lando doesn't deserve this. And yes, Carlos, I love you. I've always loved you, but right now I need you to respect that I'm in a relationship and I'm happy. Be happy for me.
-I'm sorry, Y/n -Carlos said with a hint of sadness in his voice. -I didn't mean to put you in a difficult position or make you feel uncomfortable. It was unfair of me to expect anything from you while you're in a relationship. Please forgive me for putting you in this situation. I don't know what I was thinking. -He looked at you with sincerity and regret, hoping that you would understand and accept his apology. Carlos realized that he had crossed a boundary and wanted to make amends for any distress he may have caused. -I will continue to be your friend and support you in whatever you need, even when it comes to things involving Lando. If this is the price I have to pay to have you in my life, I'll accept it. Who knows, maybe in the future, we will find a way to be together. -Carlos said, his voice filled with a mixture of hope and resignation.
He understood that maintaining your friendship was important, even if it meant putting his own feelings aside for now. Carlos wanted to be there for you, no matter the circumstances, and he held onto the possibility that the future might bring an opportunity for a different outcome.
