"Violetta?"
Leon is as shocked as I am. Who would have thougth of meeting again here today at this time?
"Leon!", a voice shouts. It's a girl. She hugs him. His girlfriend?
"Oh, Gery!" Gery. That's her name I guess.
"Who is that?", she asks Leon while she looks at me.
"That's Violetta. Violetta, this is Gery, my wife."
WAIT, WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
"Y...your wi...wife?"
"Yeah, we got married about 3 years ago."
"And since when are you together?"
"4 years."
"That's how long I was gone..."
"Ehm, yes..."
"Wait, Leon, you know that girl?", asks Gery. I definitly don't like her. It's not that I'm jealous, I just don't like her.
"Yes, ehm, she was my girlfriend..."
"What? Why didn't you tell me about that?"
"I didn't really want to talk about that!"
Now he seems angry. Is he that angry that I left him? 4 years ago? Even if he's got a wife now?
"Let's just start working!", suddenly says Maxi.
"Yes, good idea", say I and we think about what we could write and Gery leaves. Okay, that's not all, she kisses Leon's cheek when she leaves.
"I got a piece of a song, I beginned writing it a time ago but I haven't finished yet."
"Could you sing it for us?", asks Andres.
"Yes, of course.", I answer.
Hay amor en el aire
Acercate a mi
Apuesta por lo que siento
Hay amor en el aire
Tu confia en mi
Ya ves que no existe el tiempo
"Wow, that's very good!", says Maxi.
Did I mention that I looked at Leon while I sang the song?
"Yeah, that's okay..."
"Leon, really, the song is veeeery good and you know that, what is with you?"
"Nothing."
Leon didn't like it. Or did he? I don't think so. His look was so cold when I looked at him. It still is.
He probably still is angry. But he knew that I was leaving and didn't want to come with me so he has no reason to be angry. I have.
"Leon, why are you so angry? Just why?"
"I'm not angry."
"So what are you? Why are you looking at me like that? What have I ever done to you that you hate me?"
"I don't hate you. I just didn't want you to come back."
Okay, like really?!? Really?!? Am I that horrible?
I just leave and go outside.
It's still summer but it's getting cold. I'm in the middle of a big market.
Suddenly somebody touches me and kisses me passionately. I kiss him back.
It's Leon.
That feels sooo amazing.
Is this really happening right now?
It is. It's not. It is?
Leon leaves with a smile on his face.
That didn't just happen, did it?
No, I probably just imagined that.
Why am I imagining things like that?!?
And why would I have kissed back?!?
I better just go home and forget about him.
"Tomas! I'm home!"
"Vilu! How was your day?"
"It was, ehm...okay."
"Wanna have some dinner?"
"No, thanks, I'm not hungry."
I go into my bedroom. I and Tomas have seperate bedrooms. I like it like that. Is that normal for an engaged couple?
I should call Angie.
"Hey, Angie!"
"Vilu! I waited for your call! How are you?"
"I'm okay and you?"
"I'm good. Why only 'okay'?"
"My day wasn't that good."
"What happened?"
"I left the band I have to work with only because of Le...it's not that important."
"It is!"
"I don't wanna talk about this right now. Tomas could listen."
"Then come over! I'm alone! Please come over!
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
When I arrive at my dad's place, I hug Angie.
"So, Vilu, what happened?"
"I met Leon."
"Leon?!? Your ex-boyfriend!? Leon Vargas?!?"
"Yes, Leon Vargas, the famous singer."
"How did you meet him?"
"I didn't know he still was in that band. I thought he had left them. But he still is a part of the BoysBand. And then I met him...and his wife..."
"WIFE?!?"
"Yes, wife!"
"So that's the reason why you feel so down..."
"No, it's not that! I just...maybe it is that..."
"But you don't love him anymore, do you?"
"No, of course not! I'm engaged! Why are you even asking that?!?"
"Your relationship was the best thing that ever happened to you, you said to me."
"That was years ago."
"So what? Some things last forever..."
"...I don't think so. Okay, maybe, yes, but I'm over Leon now."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am..."
Or not? Why did I imagine that he kissed me?
(The next day)
It's...8.30am. And it...was just a dream.
It's so good that the kiss wasn't real, if it was, I really would have problems now!
I get dressed quickly and go to the kitchen.
"Good morning!", I say.
Tomas just throws the newspaper to me. What is up to him?
It's just a regular newspaper.
Oh...NO, No, NO, THAT CAN'T BE REAL!!!
Leon Vargas and Violetta Castillo dating?
"Leon Vargas and Violetta Castillo dating", I read loudly.
"Is there anything you wanna tell me?"
"..."
"You guys have been kissing. No, I could even say making out. What is up to you?!? Why didn't you telll me?!? Do you still like him?!?"
"What?!? NO! He kissed me!"
"And you kissed him back!"
"How can you know that?"
"There's even a clip on youtube! And now you even deny it!"
"I thought it wasn't real!"
"Just a dream? So that's normal? In your dreams he and you always make out?"
"WHAT!? NO!"
"Isn't that what you just said?!?"
"No!!! It's just to much for me. All those memories and..."
"You still love him. Violetta, look, I love you but I can't be together with you, if you love him!"
"I don't love him!"
"Really? Look into my eyes and tell me the truth."
"I..."
"You...?"
"Tomas, no, I can't!"
"So you do love him...I think I gotta go now...go and pack my stuff..."
"You, you are leaving me?"
"Yes...we're not engaged any longer."
"...but I love you..."
"I belive you but I don't think that you love me in the way that I love you."
"...here's the ring..."
I take off the ring and give it to Tomas.
"I'll miss you...", says Tomas.
"I know...", I respond.
He leaves and I go to work.
"Hello!", I greet the boys.
They just stare at me. They probably saw the newspaper.
"You saw the newspaper?"
"Yes", says Maxi in a quiet tone. The other boys just nod. Leon still isn't here.
"What happened?", aks Andres.
"He kissed me", I answer.
"Andres, you saw the video, you know what happened, we don't really have to talk about it. I mean, you probably don't want, Vilu, do you?"
"Not really..."
Leon comes in.
"Leon..."
He doesn't say anything and just looks at me. As he goes over to the boys, he looks into my eyes and his body is very close to me. Will he kiss me again?
No, he won't.
Now I'm not even together with Tomas anymore and what if Leon still is married to that Gery?
What if? They won't get divorced because of one kiss.
But I wish they would.
Wait, what?!?
"I worked on that song that you began", Leon says. "It's a duet now."
"Who'll sing it?"
"I dunno, for now we could just practise the lyrics. Obviously you will sing it. We just don't know yet with who.
"You and Violetta could sing the song", say Maxi.
I and Leon look at him with an a bit angry look.
"For now", he adds.
"Okay", I say and we begin to sing.
Donde voy, ahí vas,
me acompañaras
Donde vayas iré y te seguiré
Hay amor en el aire acércate a mi,
apuesta por lo que siento
Hay amor en el aire tu confía en mi,
ya ves que no existe el tiempo
Solo el destino que
a nosotros nos unió,
para siempre, para siempre...
Si hay amor y nada mas no es
necesario nada, nada mas
Si hay amor no existe el abecedario,
No hay nada, nada mas
We both sang the refrain, the rest Leon.
"That is just...wow", I say amazed.
"So you like it.", says Leon, comes nearer to me. What should I do?
"You got something on your mouth there. Probably something for your breakfast."
Is this a way to kiss me or what? I haven't had breakfast.
"I haven't had breakfast", I say.
"But there is something on your mouth, let me remove it."
Now we're alreday very close.
"Leon!", shouts a voice that I already have heard once.
Leon immediately goes a step back and goes to his wife.
"Is there really something on my mouth?", I ask the boys.
"Wait, let me see...yes, there's a mirror", says Maxi and points at a mirror.
There really is something. So I guess Leon said the truth.
I want to go back to the boys but I really wanna know what Leon and Gery are talking about.
"I saw the newspaper", says Gery.
"What is with it?", aks Leon.
"You know whatis with the newspaper!"
"No, I don't, what is with it?"
"You do!"
"No, I don't read it."
"Okay, so I'll tell you. On the cover you and that Violetta Castillo are kissing and it says 'Leon Vargas and Violetta Castillo dating?'!"
"What?!?"
"Oh, and then there is a video on youtube where the whole world sees you kissing!"
"I...I just wanted to know how it was...Violetta was my girlfriend a time ago and...and I just wanted to see how it felt like and her reaction..."
"Oh and then you realized that it felt like the best thing you have ever done and she even kissed you back! Oh, that's great, or isn't it?!?" Now Gery sounds very angry.
"But you're the one I love..."
"And Violetta is an experiment or what?"
"That was the only time I had something with her! I promise!"
"I hope so...I'll go home now...see you after your work..."
Gery leaves.
"Violetta?"
Oh no, he has noticed me!
"Ehm, yes?"
"Were you listening?"
"Maybe..."
"We should talk about that what happened."
"Tomas left me."
"So, wait, what?!?"
"Yes, he packed his things and left then..."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"No, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have kissed you back then..."
"Yeah, he probably saw that you were a bit too passionately."
"So what do you wanna say with that?"
"I'm just saying..."
"It's not all my fault! You came and kissed me out of nowhere!"
"So now it's all my fault or what?"
"No..."
"Oooh, so you liked it!"
"No!!!"
"Ah, really? To me it seemed like you really liked it...a lot."
"No, it's not that...I'm usually not doing that..."
"Making out?"
"That wasn't making out!"
"It was. Thanks to you."
"Argh, Leon!!!"
"You're quite cute when you're angry"
"And you're quite cute when you're playing games with me."
"What do you wanna say with that?"
"You know."
"You think I'm playing games with you?"
"Yes."
"I'm not but even if I was...you would like them or not?"
"No!"
"Really? I don't believe you."
"Guys! Could you please stop with your...I don't know what that is and come to us to work on the song?", says Maxi.
"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STANDING THERE?!?"
"I was there since the beginning and the other boys too."
"Oh god...", I say and look at Leon.
He's just smiling.
When I come home, Angie calls me. She says that I gotta come over.
"Angie? What happened?"
"Actually you are the one who should tell me what happened!"
"The newspaper?"
"Yes! Leon Vargas and Violetta Castillo dating?"
"Ehm...it wasn't a dream..."
"So you thougth you were imagining that you kissed?"
"Yes...but it was real...Tomas left me..."
"Oh, I'm so sorry..."
"But it's all my fault..."
"And what is with Leon's wife?"
"They argued but they're okay again..."
"And what is with Leonetta?"
"With what?"
"You and Leon"
"Ah, okay, ehm...every time we talk everything is just awkward..."
"And...what did you feel when you two kissed?"
"Everything, just everything. All the memories came back. Everything we did together. It felt sooo good. I...I enjoyed it...I really did...and I think he did too but what if it's all a game?"
"A game? That doesn't really sound like Leon."
"But he has changed. Who knows what he is like now? And he's got a wife! Why did he kiss me if he knew that he had a wife?!?"
"...I don't know...you two should talk about the kiss."
"We did...and it was awkward..."
"Do you really wanna talk about that?"
"No, not really...so, how are you and dad?"
"Great! ..."
"Angie...I see that there's something you're not telling me!"
"Ehm...if I tell you, promise me that you act like I haven't told you! Your dad and I wanted to tell it to you together, we just were waiting for the right moment..."
"What did you want to tell me together?"
"You're getting a sister!"
"How do you mean that? You want to adopt a kid?"
"No, not that!"
"You're..."
"...pregnant!"
"Wow, Angie! Congrats!" I hug her.
"Thanks!"
"How long do you know about it?"
"Just a few weeks!"
"Wow! That's just amazing! A sister! A little baby sister!"
"I know! I'm so happy!"
"Me too!"
Someone comes in.
"German!"
"Angie! Oh, Vilu, you are here too!"
"I can't lie to you...I told Vilu about the baby!", said Angie.
"Oh, I thought we wanted to do that together..."
"I know, I'm sorry..."
"If I was you, I would have done the same! We're having a baby!"
"Yes!"
"Congrats, dad!"
Later in the evening I come home. It's all very quiet. Maybe I should give Tomas a call...I wonder where he is now. Maybe he's in another hotel. Or he's even still in this one! Maybe he has moved into a flat or something like that...or...NO! What if he's gone?!?
"Tomas?"
"Yes, it's me. Violetta?"
"Yes! Where are you? I'm worried!"
"I'm...at the airport..."
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT THE AIRPORT?!?"
"I'm going back to Madrid..."
"When is your flihgt?"
"In 1 hour."
"1 hour?!? So boarding begins in about 20-30 minutes?!? It's so good that I live near the airport! I'll be right there!"
I hang up.
"Tomas! You're still here!"
"Vilu! You came here for me!"
"Yes! How couldn't I? You mean very much to me!"
"...boarding has already started."
"You should go...one hug?"
"Yes!"
I hug Tomas tightly and see Leon. He looks over to me.
Should I give Tomas a kiss? He still loves me and maybe he would see that he means something to me. But Leon would see us kissing too...for some reason I don't want him to see us kissing...oh, there's Gery...or maybe...I could make him jealous! No, why that? I don't feel anything for him. I don't. i don't. I don't. But why not just make him jealous? Because I can't use Tomas because I want to make Leon jealous. I can but I don't want to. But maybe I should. What if I don't see Tomas ever again? It's only a kiss, I can do that.
I put my hands on Tomas' cheeks and kiss him. A bit longer than I usually would kiss a guy. Tomas.
"I'll miss you.", I say.
"I'll miss you too.", says Tomas and looks at me smiling. He lets go out of my hand. We helt hands, I didn't even notice.
Now Tomas is gone.
I'm about to leave when Leon comes over to me.
"I thought you're not together anymore?"
"We aren't."
"So why did you kiss him?"
"Wait, are you jealous?"
"First answer my question."
"Tomas just has left to Madrid."
"That's not a reason to kiss somebody."
"It is! Maybe I won't ever see him again in my whole life!"
"I like this idea."
"Leon!"
"So did you kiss him because of not seeing him ever again or because you wanted me to see you kissing?"
"First answer my question."
"Okay, maybe."
"Yes or no?"
"That's already other question, first answer mine."
"Because of that I won't ever see him again and he still means something to me."
"So you haven't thought about making me jealous no second?"
"Why should I?"
"Yes or no?"
"You didn't answer my yes-or-no-question."
"Good night, Violetta", says Leon and leaves.
Hay amor en el aire
Acercate a mi
Apuesta por lo que siento
Hay amor en el aire
Tu confia en mi

I sing and go to bed. I thinkt about Leon all the time.
(The next day)
I quickly get up, clean my teeth, get dressed and have breakfast.
Today I'm wearing a violet dress. I take my diary with me to work.
The boys aren't there yet.
I read my last diary entry.
Dear diary,
Everyone knows about the kiss now.
The press hasn't asked about a confirmation yet. That's strange. Maybe they just know that Leon is married but why should they have written a story about me and Leon if they knew that he is married?
Talking about Leon, we always have awkward converstations. Probably because he's married. I and Tomas aren't engaged anymore. Yesterday he seemed pretty jealous when i kissed Tomas. I didn't look at Leon while I kissed Tomas but when Tomas left, Leon came over to me and he seemed angry. Maybe he should remember that he has a wife and that's not me! I wish I was tho...did I really just write this?
That's it. After that I didn't really want to write much more.
"Aha, intresting", sais somebody.
"Diego?!? It's you!", I shout. Why am I so happy? I hug him.
After that hug Diego hugs me again, this time tightly.
"I missed you", he whispers into my ears.
At the same time Broduey, Maxi, Andres and Leon come in.
"Uuh, what's going on here?", asks Broduey.
Diego lets go of me.
"Nothing.", says Diego with a smile on his face. "I remember when I was a part of the band, good old times, good old times. If I still was, I could sing with you, Vilu, that would be great."
Leon doens't look very happy but I'm not paying a lot of attention to him.
"So, Diego, where have you been?", asks Broduey.
"Oh, I've been in Barcelona. When we went on tour I knew that I wanted to live there someday. and Vilu, where were you?"
"I was in Madrid."
"Oh, I remember when we were a couple and were there...that were the most amazing and the saddest days of my life."
"Let's just remember the good moments", say I and smile at him.
Leon looks annoyed and a bit angry.
I thought that I don't give him much attention but I do.
Am I really flirting with Diego to make Leon jealous?
"I remember when we sang podemos stage and the crowd was amazed, Leon", I say and look at him.
"Oh, yeah, so do I", he answers.
I wanted to show him that I givehim some attention and that I don't like Diego. I do like Diego but in other way that Leon possibly thinks. But I guess he isn't really interested...
Diego puts out his guitar and starts to sing
Hay mil sueños de colores
No hay mejores ni peores
Solo amor amor amor y mil canciones ooh
No hay ni razas ni razones
No hay mejores ni peores
Solo amor amor amor y mil opciones de ser mejor
Hay mil sueños de colores
No hay mejores ni peores
Solo amor amor amor y mil canciones ooh
No hay ni razas ni razones
No hay mejores ni peores
Solo amor amor amor y mil opciones de ser mejor
I sing with him. The boys applaud, only Leon doesn't.
"Hey, Leon, having a bad day?", asks Diego.
"No, I'm just bored."
"Maybe we should begin with working on the song", say I.
"Good idea", says Leon and gives Diego an evil look.
"I think you can work on the song without Vilu for a day, can't you?"
"It's team work, Diego, Violetta has to be in", says Leon, still with an evil look on his face.
"So you can't write a song alone?"
"We can but it's group work."
"Diego, if you wanna do something with Vilu, just go.", says Maxi suddenly.
Now Leon looks at him with a why-did-you-just-say-that-now-you-are-dead-look.
"Thanks, Maxi, Vilu, let's go!"
"Who said that I want to go?"
Now Leon starts to laugh at Diego.
"So don't you?", aks Diego.
"I want to but the next time ask me, please."
"Okay."
I and Diego leave.
