My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 18

Shortly after, I hear footsteps that cause me to stop watching the video and turn around. I see Luna, still wearing Rebeca's purple loose shirt and shorts, but her hair was tied up in a bun. I smile at her and she smiles back, approaching me.

"Morning," she says. "Morning cupcake," I say, referring to her love for cupcakes. "Cupcake?" She asks about her new nickname. "Yea, you like cupcakes don't you?"

"I do,"

"See? Perfect nickname!"

"Am I hallucinating or do I smell cupcakes?" She raises an eyebrow. "Nope, you're absolutely correct." I say and see her eyes light up and her smile widening.

"You baked us cupcakes for breakfast?" She asks. "Sure did!" I exclaim. She gets up and pulls me up with her as we both head to the kitchen. She gets in front of the oven and squats down to check on the cupcakes.

"Emilio are you like a chef or something?"

"Nope," I pop the 'p'. "This is my first attempt, ever," I say and she squeals in excitement. "Thanks, Emilio," She says smiling, I nod returning the smile.

The cupcakes are now ready and I set the table with Luna. I was placing the plates when I noticed that Luna was really quiet, which was something surprising since she has been talking all the time. I turn around, and see her stuffing her face with the cupcakes that haven't been placed on the table yet. Once I look at her, she looks at me with her mouth full of cupcakes, sheepishly.

"Oh my God, Cupcake," I say as I burst out laughing at her adorable messy sight. She just looks at me while swallowing the rest of the cupcake pouting.

"No fair, Milio! You can't blame me for eating them already, they're too good," She crosses her arms to her chest like a baby.

Luna's POV:

"I know, I know, I'm the best," Emilio says the smirk not leaving his face. "At making cupcakes, yeah," I roll my eyes at him as I pick up another cupcake and just as I'm about to devour that piece of heaven, Emilio takes it away from me.

"Hey, that's mine!" I pout. "It's calling for me, Milio."

The smirk painted on his lips doesn't leave his face at all as he brings the cupcake closer to his mouth, threatening to eat it.

I jump quickly and grab it from his hand before he eats it. "Not today, Satan! Not today." I shout before grabbing the whole plate of cupcakes and running out of the kitchen screaming like a maniac while Emilio chases me.

I start to run out of breath as we run for only God knows how many minutes and stand in a corner holding the plate close to my chest. "Okay, okay, I give up!" I shout putting the plate down on the coffee table, still holding that cupcake I stole from Emilio. He sees me and stands in front of me, trapping me in that corner as I look at him innocently like a baby as if I never did anything, still holding the cupcake.

"You little cupcake freak," He says. "Sorry, this one is for you," I say innocently as I offer the cupcake.

But he doesn't do anything. He gets closer and kisses me then we get married and live happily ever after.

Nope, I'm just kidding.

"Are you actually being nice or just trying to trick me?" He asks, knowing my ways. I look at him with a come on look. "Really, Milio? Really?"

"I'm just stating the possible, Cupcake." He says. I get the cupcake closer to him reassuring him that I'm not tricking. He picks it up from my hand and puts it down on the plate which was placed where I had left it, on the coffee table. He doesn't want it? Did he just make me run for nothing?

As you can tell, I am not much of an exercising person.

He turns back at me and looks at me straight in the eyes, locking his gaze with mine. I start to feel butterflies in my stomach and my heart is doing backflips unknown to mankind.

I swear to God my heart is a gymnast.

"You're very messy, Cupcake," He whispers huskily, his face not more than two inches far from mine. I'm feeling the urge to press my lips against his, but I can't. Something's stopping me.

Damn you, brain. Why can't you just obey the heart?

"You got something there," He says in the same tone. He gets closer and closer, then removes what I'm assuming a crumb of cupcakes that was on my lips. He looks at my lips, then back up to my eyes. Over and over again.

"Emilio.." I break the silence, yet causing nothing to happen. He just gets closer and my heart keeps beating faster and faster.

It all happens so quickly, in a blur. It's almost impossible for me to believe whether it was a dream or a reality, very hard to process. It's a good thing that I remembered how it felt. He had his lips pressed against mine, kissing me passionately. It wasn't a make out session, but it was the first passionate kiss I've ever had in my life. His amazingly soft lips on mine just made everything even better. My heart.. don't even get me started. It felt like we were alone on this planet, in our own world not caring about the surroundings, not even the phone that has been ringing. It was the best kiss I ever had, and I'm just so glad that this isn't a dream. That our kiss is real.
