Finding Love

"Do you... like women?" Dolores asks with a serious tone, both scared and eager to know your answer. That could only mean there was a chance of you liking her, but also a chance for her to set you up with Isabela.

The only chance she has at winning Mariano. But just the thought of ruining your friendship at the possibility of you liking her, it absolutely ruined her.

With a small smile, you make some space between you. Nodding slowly, you make sure not to show any hesitation in your movement. "Yes, I like women."

Silence is stuck in the air, and suddenly it struck Dolores as to why you kept rejecting the men who tried to court you; why you were so amazing at treating women even better than most men.

You would never outright confess to Dolores that you were in love with her, but you would answer her honestly, had she asked. "Does that make you uncomfortable?"

With an immediate shake of her head, she also waves her hands around in the air. "No, of course not. It's just... that was the topic just seconds ago, I got curious. Why didn't you ever tell me?"

You loved watching her every time she fumbled with her words, it was adorable. "You can learn anything about me, all you need to do is ask, Dol."

"You could have just told me without me asking... What if you said no and I'd just look stupid." She whispers a pout on her pretty red lips.

"Don't be upset, you'd never look stupid in my eyes. Come on, to make it up to you, let's go get something to eat downstairs." You slowly get up from your bed, offering your hand to help her get up with you, a comforting smile on your lips.

Dolores grumbles before taking your hand and easily getting pulled up to her feet. She gives Blanca a few scratches before she starts following you down. "You better make me the best food on the planet."

"Ask Tristán to do it, I'm too lazy to touch the stove." You state, fixing your hair and clothes before your customers currently lounging in the café see you.

As Dolores watches you, she notices the buttons of your polo unarranged, making her giggle before she pulls you closer and back by your staircase with a grip on your collar.

"Quite clumsy today, aren't we?" You look down at her just as she starts undoing the last few buttons of your polo, slowly redoing them and smoothing your clothes out all the way from your shoulders down to your hips with caressing strokes.

You smirk, poking her forehead playfully yet somehow feeling in the clouds with the way it felt like she was your wife tending to you before you get to work.

"Not my fault today was such a wild ride because of you, suddenly pulling us out of the shop... and... we left Isabela." You stated the last few words slowly, now only coming into the realization that you had, indeed, just left her in the changing room while Mariano was out looking for her.

You were, just as usual, so caught up in Dolores that you had forgotten her presence completely. "Oh, right." She states in a slight daze.

And as if the timing was perfect, Isabela appears by the corner, moving to head up your staircase and stopping at the last second, wearing the dress you told her to try.

Her gaze immediately lands on the closeness of your body with your best friend, it almost looked like Dolores was about to kiss you with her hands settling on each of your shoulders.

Instantly, Dolores releases her hold on you, keeping a safe distance from you before plastering a smile towards her prima.

She hadn't heard Isabela coming. In fact, it was almost like the only thing Dolores could hear just moments ago, was you. "I'm sorry for suddenly leaving, something came up."
