Mo~

The sunshine of the early morning shined in my eyes as I put my turn signal to drive into the airport. It was 7:56pm and I was all ready to pick her up; Selena had called me and she sounded desperate for someone to pick her up. It was Christmas evening and I was leaving my mom and little sister behind to come pick her up.

It was about 5 when she called me telling me all that had happened to her, from her dad's death, to the property, to stay in England. My heart practically shattered into thousands of pieces when she cried over the phone. Even though my crush for her is long gone by now, I still cared about my best friend; she's always been there for me so I'm always there for her.

I turned into the airport pick-up area to see the one and only, Sely Gonzalez there clinging onto her strap backpack just like when we started the 8th grade, (minus the high ponytail, circle glasses, and braces). I chuckled under my breath as she climbed into the pasenger seat.

She had on a black leggings, Creme Uggs, and a white v-neck shirt that hugged her tight. She topped it off with a half-zipped North Face. She never failed to dress to impress.

"Good evening Sely-poo !!" I greeted cheerfully. She just scuffed and gave me a deathly glare; she's always hated that nickname since forever.

"Shut up Mo-Bear" she tried to sound intimdating but the yawn cut her off easily.

"Jetlag ?"

She just nodded and fastened her seatbelt. Putting the car in gear; we were off towards the highway. My eyes were glued to the road but I sneaked a couple side glances at Selena. She looked like she was in a jumble of emotions just by the blank expression on her face; poor Sel's been through a lot in her lifetime and all she needed was at least a little smile on her face.

"Sel," I spoke up. She looked over at me, "SG Questions until 8:30" She chuckled at my attempt to make her happy. SG Questions was basically playing 20 questions but instead with Selena; since she loved asking so many damn questions.

Everytime we go somewhere and she's bored she forces me to play this game with her; I hate this game with a burning passion but I hated seeing her sad more.

"Mo we don't have to play if you don't want to" a weak smile creeped on her face.

"Question 1: Where's Meldin ?" I disregarded her request and started the game already.

"Answer 1: He called his friend Sean and they picked him up an hour ago"

"Why didn't you go with them then ?" I tried asking me but she cut me off with a finger to the lips.

"It's my turn to ask the question Mo" she had a little smirk on her face.

We continued to play the game for a little bit until she popped up with one question.

"What would you name your daughter ?"

My mind jumbled for a second trying to register what she'd just asked me. What I would name my daughter...

"I don't know, I'd name her after her mother or something" I brushed the subject off but Selena wouldn't drop it.

"Oh c'mon Mo ! Stop being cliche !! What would her name be ?"

"You'll think it's stupid."

"No. I. Won't !! Come on Mo, tell me already !!!"

She kept tugging on my arm causing me to kinda swerve the car side to side as I drived. After about 3 minutes of jeopardizing our lives I finally shook her off my arm and sighed deeply. I'm going to regret this deeply.

"Samantha"

Her face scrunched up in confusion, "What ?" She pondered.

"Samantha. My daughter's name would be Samantha."

"Samantha ?" her voice trailing off as if she was trying to figure out why I chose that name. Her lips curved into a tiny sad frown as her bright eyes peered over at me.

"Samantha, as in your older sister Samantha ?"

I nodded my head abruptly. Samantha was my older sister, she would've been 23 years old by now. She was such a happy caring person who loved every person for who they were inside. We got along so well together; she was practically my other half. But that was all taken away from me by a idiotic driver. She got hit by a car on her way back from Middle School. The whole situation was a hit and run; nobody was charged, nobody was accused, it was just another story of a girl who died by a car accident. After that I'd always yearn for my sister's soothing voice to be come back, not for me but for my mom and my younger sister Rose.

"What about you ? What would you name your daughter ?" I spewed out trying to avoid the subject over on me.

"I'd name her DIS DICK BOI !!" she bursted out laughing causing me to meerly laugh along with her. She truly does know how to lighten up the mood.

"So why'd you call me ? It's Christmas, I thought you wanted to spend Christmas with Hunter."

She sighed and ran her fingers through her long curly hair, "I don't know how to face him Mo. I'm gonna go talk to him tomorrow. But for today I'm gonna go say hi to everyone and wish them all Merry Christmas' "

"Oh no the fuck you're not ! You're gonna go talk to Hunter !"

"Moooooo !!!" she whined, "I can't ! It's just-" She was about to continue but stopped herself and just rubbed her temples.

"You don't understand my current love problems Mo"

Scuffing at her statement; her eyes widen to the size of saucers at my response. At first her face looked confused. But it didn't last that long before a yawn escaped from her lips.

She just swatted me off and curled herself in a sleeping position; her face against the car door. She's had a long month and all she needed was to rest her mind.

I reached over and ruffled her hair, "Sleep well Selena"

Her eyes already shut, she flashed a weak smile and just responded back, "I will Mo"

~~~

Selena~

"Get up Sel" Mo's deep voice cutting through my slumber as he gently tries to shake me awake.

I sit myself up and yawn; stretching my stiff arms out. It was about an hour and a half long drive and I was ready to see Yosselin. I missed her dearly since I left or England and I needed someone to talk to.

"Thanks for everything Mo" I genuinely smile at him; bringing him closer towards me in a hug. The usual smell of his Hollister cologne filled my nose, this guy never changes.

"No problem Selena" a knowing smirk comes across smirk sneaks on his face.

I swivel my way out of the car, close the door behind me, and stare at him through the window.

"What did you do Mo ?" I ask suspiciously

"Oh nothing. Just kindling a little flame"

I give him a WTF face which he only returns with a finger pointing to something behind me.

The same brown brick white wood apartment complex stood perfectly still in its place. Park Montgomery Apartments Complex shined brightly to my eyes.

I was back home.

But I don't live here anymore, and Bianca flew out to Indonesia to see family, which only leaves...

"MAURICE LONDON !! YOU DID NOT !" I snapped at him harshly. He has no right to do this !

He smiles sheepishly at me, "Rekindling a little flame Selena"

Before I could even get some very explicit and death defying words he sped off out of the parking lot. With the very faint words screaming behind me saying

"You'll thank me later !"

A groan roughly came from me. I can't do this, I'm not ready for this. I rubbed my temples and stared up at the sky. White delicate snowflakes filled the sky as the all did beautiful dances to the ground. The sky was a rare mixture of light gray and white. It was Christmas night and the sky was illuminating the whole are while still being dark for the night time.

It's not that I wasn't ready to face Hunter. It's just that I love him so much, and if I keep emitting more and more love for him; when it's time for me to leave him, I'm gonna be left empty hearted. I don't want to lose Hunter like I did my Dad. Some things in this world aren't meant losing for just because of seperation. We've been through hell and back together and all I want is to feel his warm embrace again, to feel loved by him again.

I have to face him.

Gradually, I put one foot in front of the other pacing towards the maroon building. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do this.

After minutes of hesitation and mental arguments I built up the courage and knocked on the door gently.

Knock knock.

Nothing.

I reached towards the door and knocked again.

Knock knock.

Nothing.

Aww, who the hell am I kidding ? It's Christmas night and I'm here knocking on his door. He's probably out with Evan or so-

"Selena ?" The familiar teenage voice brought me back to reality. The same blue eyed and brown haired boy smiled at me warmly. He had on a fancy white top, black tie, and dress pants.

"Hi Riley" I smiled back at him and leaned in for a hug. His hair at the crug of my neck.

"Who's at the door Riley ?" yelled another voice from the back of the apartment.

"It's me Sharon !" I yelled back.

Emerging from the back of the apartment, Sharon came with a black dress that stopped at mid-thigh; ruffles at the bottom of it. Black pumps brought the whole outfit together while she left her dark brown-dirty blonde hair down. She looked beautiful.

"Oh my God, Selena !!" she practically sprinted over towards me and bear hugged me tight.

"What are you doing here ?" she asked in her sisterly-tone.

"I-I'm here to talk to Hunter," I looked down at her outfit and gave her a pleasant smile, "And where are you going like this Sharon ?"

She playfully slapped my arm, "We were all about to go the a restaurant. But we were going to run errands before our meal"

"That gives you alone time with Hunter" Riley cut in wiggling his eyebrows at me.

Before I could even respond, Sharon slapped him upside his head, "Shut up Riley ! So annoying sometimes. Matter of fact, go in the car !" She shoved him her keys and shooed him away.

"Hunter keeps condoms in his underwear drawer !!" Riley yelled.

"Riley !" We both yelled in unison. My cheeks burned in embarrassment. This kid will never change.

Sharon rubbed her temples and just sighed, "He will never change," she put her hand on my shoulder, "Okay look, I'll call you when Riley and I are done so you two can come to the restaurant with us."

I plopped my suitcase on the ground next to the door and nodded my head at her.

"No funny business Missy" she wiggled her eyebrows at me. I slapped her arm which made her laugh at me.

"Sharon ! Gosh, you too ?!?"

"Calm down Selena ! Just be awaiting my call boo. Hunter's in his room."

She grabbed her purse from the kitchen counter and headed towards the door.

"Merry Christmas Selena"

"Merry Christmas Sharon"

She closed to door behind her and I let out a breath that I didn't even know I held in. I slipped my jacket off, hung it up, and went around the apartment.

I paced around the corner of the living room and headed towards the same door that I remember.

I creaked through the door open a bit.

"Hunter ?" my voice barely above a whisper.

The room was empty. The navy blue walls of his room screamed out "boy" He had a full size bed with blue and white strips; dead in the center of the room against the wall. He had a metallic door on the left hand side (which I'm assuming is the closet), while on the side is his window and a mahogany desk with his binder and laptop. It was a really neat room to be honest and it fit his personality. He had a Real Madrid poster on his wall and a tiny picture above his desk.

I walked closer and unpinned the picture from the wall to see that it was a picture of me. It was the day we'd gone on one of our date to Red Robin. Afterwards we had gone to Yogi Castle and gotten ice cream together. I remember he took his spoon and flicked ice cream on my nose. Instead of my yelling at him, I flicked some on his nose. He must've taken a picture of my laughing at his reaction because this picture had caught the perfect moment of how happy I looked. My glasses pressed up against my face, my mouth laughing, and the way I clutched my stomach. It made me seem so gleeful and cheery.

I grinned and chuckled a bit at the memory. It was such a fun date.

"Selena ?"

A husky voice brought me back to reality. I shifted around to see Hunter at the doorway.

Shirtless.

With dress pants on. He looked wet and his hair darker brown than usual. He must've been out if the shower. His muscular form and abs stood out even more to me now and a V-Line to die for. So, delicious and mysterious.

"Oh my God, Hunter " I stood there unable to do anything. I didn't know how to think.

Before I know it, my cheek is being cupped and my lips are against his. The soft smooth lips on mine sent electric shocks down my spine. I let out a groan in pleasure and melted down in his presence. Mint. Mint. Mint. Oh the way I craved the minty taste he gave me when I kissed him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him; his hard chest pressed against mine bringing warmth to my body.

We pulled away both breathless of the kiss. His forest green eyes looking down at mine. I pulled his closer to me, laying my head down against his chest. The smell of his normal cologne caressing my nose.

"Oh how I've missed you Selena" he sincerely said.

"Oh how I've missed you Hunter"
