I drove back to my house, thinking about what I was going to say to Austin. I knew that I needed to end things with him, but I wasn't exactly sure how.

I loved Andrade. He didn't know that, but after last night, I knew that he was the one I wanted to be with for the rest of my life.

Not Austin Aries.

I let myself into the house, the light on my front porch turning on as I did so. The house was dimly lit, considering it was still early in the morning.

I wanted to get this over with quick.

"Zelina, there you are. I was getting worried you would never come back," Austin said with a worried expression as he came down the steps.

"Yeah, but listen, we need to talk."

He nodded as we sat down on the couch. I fiddled with my fingers and looked at him.

"Austin, what we have is great, but I think that you and I both know that over these past few months, things have changed," I stated.

"Zelina-"

I cut him off. "I'm not finished. I came here to give you this."

I took the engagement ring off my finger and slipped it in his hand. "Give it to a girl who is absolutely dedicated and in love with you."

He smiled and then we hugged it out. I was going to miss the relationship we had formed, but I needed Andrade.

"Zelina, thanks for telling me how you feel. I appreciate you not going through with this wedding."

I nodded as I stepped towards the door. He grabbed my shoulder to turn me around to face him.

"Did Andrade have anything to do with this?"

I sighed. "If I say yes, are you going to get mad?"

He took a breath in and pondered for a moment. "Nope, because I'm glad you've found someone who makes you so happy."

I smiled and then walked out the door. I started my car once more and headed off to see Andrade. I called Peyton on the way there.

"Zelina, what's up?" She asked through the phone.

"Nothing, I just called to tell you that Austin and I broke up-"

"Ahhhh!! I knew it! Also, thank God, I was really starting to not like that guy."

"And, I'm getting together with Andrade."

I waited for her to squeal again, which she did. I was glad that Peyton was so close to me and one of my best friends.

"You two are perfect for each other. I'm so happy you've found true love with some body."

I smiled to myself as I pulled up to Andrade's house. I told Peyton I had to go and she wished me good luck.

I knocked on the door, which he answered of course. He didn't even give me time to explain, he just kissed me instead.

"I broke it off with him, I'm all yours, Almas."

"Great, but before we do anything else, I've got to tell you something."

I looked up at the man in front of me. "Sure, anything."

"I love you, Zelina Vega."

I pecked him on the lips. "I love you too, Andrade Almas."

He kissed me with passion again and I let him, not feeling any regrets about anything this time.

"Oh, and one more thing, I owe you a thank you."

"For what?" I asked with a confused expression on my face.

"Everything. For getting me the movie deal, because truth be told, without that deal, I'd still be getting wasted in a bar and taking home a random girl for the evening."

"Andrade-"

"And for making me a better man. You've showed me what it's like to love someone and have an amazing connection with that person as well."

I smiled again, it was like I couldn't stop. Everything he said was just so meaningful and down to earth.

Also a little cheesy, but at this moment, I didn't care.

"You're welcome."

He led me to the couch. "This hookup is the best thing that's ever happened to me."

I laughed. "Me too, and I'm so happy to be your girlfriend."

He nodded and closed the gap between us with a kiss.

I was in love with Andrade "Cien" Almas.
