AN : Hi, and thanks for reviewing chapter 3!!!!!!Hugs reviewers For everyone who's still reading this, here's chapter 4!!!! Enjoy!!!
Later that night, when the party was finally over, I sat on my couch, blankly staring at the television. I couldn't sleep, I had a plan to figure out. And I had to talk to Juandissimo...
After a few minutes, I was completely spaced out. I didn't expect my cell-phone to ring, and when it did, I jumped in shock spilling my coffee all over my shirt. 'Oh yay...'
I picked up the phone. "Hi Wanda! I hope you weren't like, sleeping or something!" This annoying voice had to be Starla's. What the hell did she want from me now???
"Hi Starla," I said, trying to sound nice. "I wasn't sleeping...What's so important you're calling me in the middle of the night?"
"Oh Wanda, I like, wanted to invite you to come along to the church on Thursday. Cozzie's coming too! I asked him to be the best man. Well, and I figured out you had to be like, bridesmaid!!!! Will you?"
I froze. I didn't only have to go to Juan's wedding, I actually had to be part of it!!! But still, I couldn't refuse. This meant a lot to Juan...
I gulped, and spoke: "Of course I'll be bridesmaid, Starla. What time do I have to be at the church Thursday?"
Starla giggled and filled me in on all the details while I listened halfheartedly. I hung up the phone and buried my face in my cushions. 'Oh darn..Why did I just say that?...Why in the world did I say I wanted to be a stupid bridesmaid..?'
I had to do something, and quick! But what? I desperately needed to talk to Juan...What made him decide to get engaged, and not tell anyone? Why did he give up his love for me?
I reached for my phone and dialed up Angelo. He just had to come with me to that church...I couldn't do it alone.
"Oh hi there, darling! What's wrong?" Angelo asked, sounding tired.
"Angel...Would you come with me to the church on Thursday? They...They want me to be the bridesmaid!!!" I managed to choke out, holding back tears.
I heard him sighing softly on the other end of the line. "Oh Wanda... Now you don't only have to go to Juan's wedding, you actually have to be a part of it!!! You've gotten yourself into a great deal of trouble..! but I'll come with you, of course.."
I smiled weakly. "Thank you, Angel."
After the wedding rehearsal, Angelo finally convinced me to go to Juan's apartment. Starla and Juan got into a huge fight, and I just had to talk to him about it. I only prayed he would let me in...
I pressed the intercom button, deciding I really hated the bloody thing. I figured I must have looked like an idiot, standing there, pleading with someone to be let inside. Suprizingly, I didn't have to wait long. He buzzed me in and I made my way to the fifth floor, where Juan lived.
When I got there, the door was slightly ajar. So I opened it softly, stepping in and closing the door behind me.
Juan was in front of the television, gazing at the screen. 'Juan hardly ever watched TV!'
Without saying a word, I sat down beside him. I immediately saw he wasn't really watching the television (it was turned to a shopping channel!) He was just blankly staring in front of him, without saying a word.
We sat down 10 minutes in complete silence, till it started to annoy the hell out of me! I could't it anymore, and finally spoke up.
"I heard you and Starla got into a fight." I turned to him, wondering if he was ever going to talk to me.
Juan sighed deeply. "You heard correct."
'Alright, he's going to be difficult...Angelo warned me for this...'
"Why did you walk out on her?"
He turned away from me, and I saw his fists clench. 'This wasn't a good question..'
"She just won't under-ztand!" He said, trough gritted teeth.
I sighed. "Have you tried to understand her side, Juan?" I was rewarded with a cold glare.
"I tried...And I will try to do az she wants. But she pushes too hard, if only she'd rea-lize thàt..." Juan smiled gently, and took my hand in his.
"Gracias for coming, Wandita...I couldn't do this with-out you..."
I felt a pang in my chest as he wrapped his arms around me, in a tight hug. I held his warm body close to mine, never wanting to let go again...
I never meant to fall asleep!!!! I woke up, rather suprized about the fact that Juan was sleeping too! The TV was off and the room was completely silent.
I sat up, and Juan woke up too. He stretched and yawned. I just smiled at him, I guess I was downright staring.
"Hola.."He said in a tired voice.
"Hola.." I said, smiling. He looked at the clock and cursed something in spanish. "I should call Star-la..." He said, and got up.
"I guess I should go on, then." I stood up too, and walked up to the door.
"No, Wandita...It iz way past mid-nite...why don't you stay, it iz not safe to walk outside in the middle of the night!,"He offered as he walked over to his phone.
'Stay over?? Did I really hear him right?'
"Starla? I'm sorry..."I heard him say. His face was turned to the wall, but I saw him look up once, to see me walk out the door.
AN: Wow this took me a pretty long time! This is also the longest chapter I've ever written...Alright anyway, plz review!!!! Luvvies!!!!
