You Belong With Me

Chapter 6- Eva

“YES!” Iker called out as he poured some yellow paint on Mina.

“NO!” Mina called out and tried to run but it was too late.

They’ve been playing with paint at Iker’s garden for an hour and both of them are covered with red and yellow paint. Iker watched as Mina tried to keep the yellow paint out of her hair.

“But you told me this would come off.” Iker explained.

“It will.” Mina said and looked up at Iker.

“So, why are you fussing with your hair?” Iker asked.

“Because, Iker, NOT MY HAIR!” Mina explained.

“Aww..Mina, I’m so sorry.” Iker said and hugged Mina.

Mina felt her heart beat faster as soon as Iker wrapped his arms around her. She almost hyperventilated but mentally demanded “Why is she feeling like this?” Iker smiled as Mina wrapped an arm around her.

“Am I forgiven?” Iker asked.

“Maybe.” Mina answered with a smirk.

She grabbed the red paint and poured it out on Iker, who was surprised. Iker stood there and watched as Mina laughed. A few seconds later, Iker joined in.

“What country do you support, Mina?” Iker asked.

“If I tell you, then I have to kill you.” Mina answered.

“Are we threatening me, now?” Iker asked.

“Hmm..let me think.” Mina said.

Both of them looked at each other and laughed again. Nothing was funny, really, but somehow, they just laughed. Mina felt familiar stirrings inside her while Iker slowly took off his shirt. THAT silenced Mina. Iker looked at her and smirked.

“Is this how to silence Mina, then?” Iker teased.

“Never.” Mina said.

“Time to clean up, I suppose?” Iker asked.

“Yeah.” Mina answered.

“I swear I could hear your stomach grumble.” Iker said.

“How dare you!” Mina called out and threw Iker’s shirt at him.

“Oh, you did not just do that to me, Mina!” Iker half-yelled.

“But I did, get over it.” Mina said innocently.

Iker wrapped his arms around her and jumped into the pool. Mina squealed happily and they both laughed at their own silliness.

“Am I missing out on something?” Unai asked as he walked in, looking at Mina and Iker.

“UNAI!” Mina called out and got out of the pool.

“Uh, no, I don’t want to get wet.” Unai said, stepping behind and away from Mina’s hug.

“Puh-lease, we know who gets wet, between you and me.” Mina teased.

“Mina!” Unai called out.

“I am shocked.” Iker said, looking at Mina.

“Hate to break it to you, but, the truth can be shocking.” Mina said and smiled.

“Hey!” Iker greeted Unai. “I thought you’re in Barcelona?”

“And I thought Ali is with you?” Mina asked.

“I decided to come home early and Mina..Ali will come back on Wednesday.” Unai said.

“What?! She can’t just miss classes. What’s in Barcelona, anyway?” Mina asked.

“You know, this is why I am beginning to love Mina.” Iker said and placed his arm around her shoulder.

“Two words. Cesc Fabregas.” Unai said.

“I knew it.” Mina said.

“But at least, we now know you are loyal to Real Madrid, Mina.” Iker said, beaming at her.

After cleaning up, Mina went out of the guest room, wearing a top and a pair of shorts that she brought with her awhile ago and spotted Unai and Iker talking on the couch.

“Did I miss something?” Mina asked.

“Are you and my brother dating now?” Unai asked and Iker looked at Mina.

“I’m actually moving in this house tomorrow, Unai.” Mina answered seriously.

“But..that’s fast. I mean..” Unai began.

He never got to finish because at that point, Iker and Mina laughed out loud. He scratched his head and looked at them.

“Just playing you, Unai! You and I both know that I don’t date.” Mina said.

“You don’t?” Iker asked her.

“I don’t feel at all.” Mina corrected him.

“But..” Iker began.

“Don’t worry, Iker, when you’re ready to date me, I’m sure we can talk things out.” Mina said.

“Will I ever get a serious answer from you, Mina?” Iker asked.

“Maybe, maybe not.” Mina answered and looked at Unai, who was carefully studying them.

Mina grabbed a sandwich from Iker’s hand and began to eat, before he could react, the door opened and in came, a tall, sexy, blonde-haired woman, who was carrying a huge bag.

“Hola, Iker, can I stay here for two nights?” she asked.

“Eva.” Iker said, standing up.

“Can I?” Eva asked and kissed Iker’s cheek.

Unai looked at Mina, who looked at Eva and Iker. Iker was blushing and Eva was oblivious to it. She handed Iker her huge bag and sat on the couch, instantly feeling at home.

“Well, hello, Unai.” Eva greeted sultrily.

“I was just leaving.” Unai said, standing up and held Mina’s hand. “Come on, Mina.”

“Uh..” Mina began, looking at Iker, who was now dazed and confused.

“Cute shoes. Cute hair. Cute face.” Eva told her and looked at Unai. “You have a cute girlfriend, Unai.”

“I’m not..” Mina

“I’ll see you soon, Unai. Mina..” Iker said.

“What just happened?” Mina asked Unai as he sat in the driver’s seat of his car.

“We just got thrown out of Iker’s house and life because of Eva.” Unai explained.

“And who is Eva, apart from being the first woman ever created?” Mina asked.

“She’s Iker’s..uhm..” Unai began.

“Girlfriend?” Mina guessed, placing her bag on the floor.

“No, not really.” Unai said.

“And you hate her because she called me your girlfriend?” Mina asked teasingly. “Don’t worry, I’ve known for awhile that you have a crush on me, Unai.” she added and Unai chuckled.

“Did you like her?” Unai asked.

“Oh come on, we all know everyone who calls me cute is instantly written in Mina’s Hitlist.”

Unai and Mina spent the remaining of the day inside Mina’s and Ali’s flat while Iker cuddled with Eva in his couch.
