Ever since the birth of her daughter Bella, Ximena Perez has wanted absolutely nothing to do with love. Being abandoned by the father of her daughter has left her with no interest in ever finding love again.
When Juan Luis, aka Maluma to the rest o...
"Happy Birthday, beautiful." Juan whispers into my ear before pressing a kiss against my collarbone.
A smile is on my face before my eyes even flutter open. I turn to face him, kissing his cheek. "Thank you." I reach for my phone to see the time, it's 10am. And I have a missed call from my mom. "I should call my mom." I say, sitting up, leaning against the headboard.
He nods, sitting up as well. "I'm gonna go order some breakfast for us." he says, giving me a quick kiss before walking out.
"Hey, Mom." I say, as she answers super quickly.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Bella shouts, loudly. "Happy Birthday Momma." she giggles.
I immediately tear up. "Hey baby. Thank you so much, my love. I miss you!" I shout back, laughing lightly.
"You too." she giggles back and after a second I hear her give the phone to my mom.
"Happy Birthday, honey." she says.
I smile. "Thank you, Mom. Thank you. I miss you guys." I say sadly. "I didn't realize I'd miss you guys so much today." sighing, I wipe at my eyes.
"No crying! Don't cry. You'll be home in less than a day, Mija." she laughs.
I nod, realizing it's true. "Yeah, I know. I know."
"Your dad is at work, but he promises to call later."
I shake my head. "He's fine. Thank you guys."
"What plans do you guys have for today?" she asks excitedly after a second.
I shrug, yawning. "No idea. Probably a dinner." I say.
"Well whatever it is you guys do, I hope you have the most fun. Love you. We'll talk later."
"Love you too, sounds good. We'll be leaving super early tomorrow night, so I'll see you guys soon." I smile.
"Alright, bye sweetie."

"Call me crazy, but I think we're the hottest couple here." Juan whispers to me as we walk into the restaurant he's chosen to take me for tonight. My jaw almost dropped as we entered this place. I thought some of the restaurants in LA were insane, but they had nothing on this.
I giggle, shaking my head. "Maybe." I whisper back, his hand on my waist as we follow the hostess to our table.

We get seated, and order soon after.
"This trip has been the most fun I've had in a very long time, Juan. Thank you so much." I take his hand in mine, smiling.
He caresses my face gently, shaking his head. "You have nothing to thank me for. I wanted to do this." he kisses me softly.
I almost pull him back in, wanting more, but decide to sit back. "Well thank you anyway." I take a sip of my wine. "What's the plan after this?"
