Miguel sighed and walked towards the bar. He paused a moment listening to a voice that sounded like....
"...and then he says to me, 'I love you'.."
"And what did you say?"
"I said, 'I know'."
"Well, do you love him?"
Miguel turned around the corner and watched the two girls talk.
Chloe shook her head, "I've only known him for one night. I'm sure he's a totally different person than what he seems to be. So, no, I don't love him."
"Awww...Clo....but he's so cute."
She laughed, "I never said he wasn't cute."
Miguel took a couple steps back up the stairs and put his back against the wall. "My God," he thought, "How am I going to tell Tulio?"
Tulio came bopping down the stairs, he grinned at Miguel and pointed at him, grinning. The next sound Miguel heard was the two women giggle. He walked around the corner and sat down beside Tulio, who was already flirting it up with Chloe. Miguel sighed and scratched his head, not knowing really what to do, for once Tulio was getting a taste of his own medicine. He had girls always confess their love to him, and now....well it was completely the opposite.
"...and so I said to him, 'Just keep the change!'"
Both of the girls giggled wildly. Miguel rolled his eyes and then smiled at his friend when he looked at him. Tulio got off of his stool and went around the counter over to Chloe, wrapping his arms around her hips. "Let's go do something tonight...Want to?"
Chloe grinned, "Maybe."
Tulio wrinkled his nose. "Maybe? Why Maybe?"
The blonde woman shrugged and pulled away from him. "I have work to do." Her voice was stern and the look she gave him wasn't a pleasant one. He ran his hand through his raven hair and cleared his throat. He looked at Miguel and then smiled sheepishly. "Look, Chloe...I..."
"Will you just go? I'm a bit annoyed at you right now. You're not supposed to be back here."
"B-B-But."
Without another word, Chloe pushed Tulio out from behind the bar, glaring at him. "I don't know who you think you are, but you're going to have to follow the rules of my bar."
"I thought you loved me!"
"Well guess again! You act as if we had something...yeah we slept in the same bed. So what? Nothing happend."
His jaw dropped. Miguel quickly got up and drug Tulio out of the bar. "Now, Tulio...I'm sure she is just frustrated. I don't think she meant any of that." Miguel tried to comfort his best friend, thinking, "Well, you know she really did mean all of that. She doesn't love you. She never said that she did."
Tulio blubbered like a baby and whined to Miguel. He patted his friend on the shoulder and sighed softly. "Hey, look on the bright side. You still have me!" Tulio wiped his eyes and nodded, putting an arm around his friend.

Chloe stood there for a moment looking through the window, "I shouldn't have said that to him. Oh..I feel so bad."
Claudia patted her on the shoulder and continued to brush her hair, "I'm sure he'll come back. Why don't you wait in his room until he does? He will have to get his stuff sooner or later, right?"
"You're right", Chloe smiled softly, turning to her friend, "I do have the keys to all of the rooms."
Claudia smiled hugged her friend, "I know you two will work this out."
*****
Tulio walked up the stairs to his room, his feet almost feeling like stones. He sighed and turned the dooknob, opening it slowly. The room was dark, only eluminated by moonlight. He closed the door softly behind him and then sat down on the side of his bed, taking off his boots. A shadowy figure rolled over beside him. "AH!", he jumped up and tripped over his boots, landing on his butt.
Chloe sat up, looking around halfway dazed. "Huh? Who's there?"
"Tulio...What are you doing in my bed?"
"Oh, I'm so glad its you. I'm so sorry."
Tulio got up and crawled on the bed sitting down beside her, running a hand through her hair. "I am too. I think I rushed things."
"No, you didn't. It was me. I shouldn't have said that, especially in front of all those people."
"Shhhhh, don't worry about it."
Tulio smiled and pulled his love close to his chest, resting his chin on her head. They soon fell asleep, their minds wandering into the mystical land of dreams.
