Disclaimer: I don't own anything, just borrowing…and to clear things up, Maddie and Esteban did not do it! He was comforting her. That is all.
Opening her eyes slowly Maddie peaked around the room, realizing that it wasn't exactly her room. Ah yes, she remembered…Esteban's house. It was his room. She remembered what had happened. How he had comforted her in her time in need. She needed to thank him. But when she turned around…
He wasn't there.
She yawned while looking at the alarm clock. It was a Saturday and she was up at 7am. Insane. Her shift and the Tipton didn't even start until 10am. She decided to look around the house, hoping that Esteban hadn't left anywhere. Well, not that she cared like that…I mean, she just wanted to check to see if he was alright.
"Esteban" Maddie whispered while walking in the living room. He had been here. The couch was clean and everything. Even Dudley was up, waddling around and eating out of his little trough by the backdoor.
"Esteban?" Maddie questioned even louder. Was he here? Maddie had no clue. Maybe he went to go fix the car or something she thought.
"Well, I'd better go do something to keep myself busy." She said aloud to herself. She decided to make the bed and start breakfast, maybe even finish the laundry so she could wear her own clothes for once…not that she minded wearing Esteban's clothes, although they were a little baggy.
As she walked into the bedroom, she decided to have a look around. She was so tired and groggy last night that she didn't even pay attention to what she was doing let alone to have a look around.
It had a few Esteban touches to it, but it looked like an ordinary room. But something caught her eye. At the bedside table near the bed there was a picture. It was inside a golden plated frame with diamond encrusted hearts on the edges. But, it wasn't the frame that caught her eye…it was the picture inside it.
It was a picture of….

Esteban got up and silently turned of the alarm so Maddie wouldn't wake up. He checked to see if she was alright and to his pleasure she was sleeping soundly curled up to the side of the bed.
"It's time for chores" Esteban whispered to himself while slipping out of bed and covering up Maddie who snuggled even deeper into sleep.
"Ay" Esteban thought "This is even cuter then when Dudley curls up to sleep."
Esteban quickly rubbed his eyes and went out into the front room to work. First, he knew he had to clean up his apartment, and then go to the car center to fix his oil gauge in the car before they set out to work.
Esteban huredly finished the laundry and started on the couch. He started to put the comforter he'd layed out for Maddie when he noticed something silver drop to the ground. It looked like Maddie's necklace so he decided to put it in his pocket until
She was up. Then, forgetting about it, he finished up the chores and called up the tow truck so he could take his car to the garage to get fixed.
When he got there, they told him that it would be at least an hours wait before he could go home. As he sat down he remembered the necklace and took it out to examine it.
"I hope she knows where I'm at" He thought while looking at the silver hearts engraved on the necklace. Then he noticed that the necklace was some sort of locket. He knew better not to open other peoples private items but it felt like the right thing to do. And when he opened it, he noticed something. Something more interesting than the locket. There was a picture inside of it.
And the picture was of…

Maddie took a double take. It was a picture of her and Esteban! She knew that picture. It seems like it was just yesterday when Mr. Moesby took it. It was when they where going to the firemans ball and Mr. Moesby just had to take a picture. The thing that scared her the most…was that there was only two copies…and the other one…
