"Look, all I'm saying is you got my siblings' things and I want to get you something too, you know?" I lay down next to Diana, the bed dipping down as my weight fills it.

"I feel like this is the tenth time we've had this conversation." She laughs as she says. We've actually had this conversation three times, but I wasn't counting. Last night Clarissa almost died when she saw the new make-up Diana had gotten her. Clarissa can't do many things with mom since she's always working, so I knew she wanted to cry. I saw the tears forming in her eyes, but she hid them well. Alejandro was ecstatic when he saw the new fantasy book Diana had gotten him. Hardcover and all.

"I want something. Like infinite kisses from you." I tell her as I eat a sour gummy worm. I break it apart with my teeth keeping the blue part in between my fingers. The salt-like sugar dissolves in my mouth and the gummy sticks to my teeth in a very unsatisfying yet delicious way.

"We could get matching swimsuits. And then we could take pictures and be that cute couple everyone loves. Oh my god baby we could totally. Look, look, look." She pushes her phone into my face. I squint my eyes since the light of her phone almost blinds me.

The photo shows a green swimsuit with tiny dinosaurs. There's a bikini for her and a pair of trunks for me.

"I am not wearing that. I feel like we switched personalities. This is something I would have done to piss you off in the beginning." I tell her, eating the blue piece. Diana sits on my lap. Both her knees are on either side of my legs. Her hands wrap around of neck.

Anda pal carajo.

"I am not doing it to piss you off. I want matching swimsuits with you, okay flower?"

"So bossy hermosa." I grab her phone, turn on the camera, and place it next to us.

"What are you doing?"

"Making a video for our future kids. What does it look like I'm doing?" I tell her dead serious. I grab another piece of gummy worm and place one end in my mouth. "Take the other one," I mumble.

"What? No." I grab the candy that was stuck between my teeth and take it out.

"Why not Diana?"

"No swimsuits, no cute video for our wedding day and kids." She says.

"Oh, now you want to get married?" I smirk at her.

"You wanted kids first. Of course, we're getting married."

"We'll discuss this later on. Now, take the stupid candy so we can make a stupid video, and then we can buy those stupid matching swimsuits." She kisses me.

"Kiss first?" My hands travel up her shirt and I feel as her skin ignites by my touch. She shivers as her lips move against my own. It's a repetitive partner I could never get tired of, like the waves hitting the sand. She's soft. There are little bumps in her back. It's smooth in some places, yet rough in others. And I absolutely love it. She takes advantage of her hands wrapped around my neck and pulls herself closer to me.

"You are breathtaking," I whisper to her as she pulls slightly back gasping for air.

"Candy and video flower?"

"Let's do it." She presses play and I notice how the white light turns into red letting us know the phone has started recording.

"Miles is making me do this." She tells the camera. Her smile was showcased to the world. I'm slightly jealous. I want to be the only person that sees that beautiful smile. But I want everyone in the world to know that the person with said beautiful smile is all mine.

"That's a lie. She wants us to get matching dinosaur swimsuits. Dinosaurs!" I stroke her stomach.

"It's better than trying to eat a gummy worm like it were a spaghetti and we were Bambi and the other dog."

"I know you did not just say Bambi. Bambi is a deer. Diana, our kids and the people at our wedding are going to see this. Do you really want to sound like you don't know anything about Disney movies?" I say as I grab her wrist and pull her face to mine. I peck her lips.

"Okay, Romeo let's get the show on the road. Gummy worm?" She asks and sticks her hand out. I place a pink and blue one. Diana places an end on her mouth and I take the other one.

"Pull," I mumble, but it's a failed attempt. Diana and I are laughing so hard she pulls the gummy worm all together leaving me with a tiny end and a little bit of sugar-coating on my tongue.

"We totally suck," I say once I recover from my laughing fit.

"Drive me to target. We're getting matching swimsuits." I groan but comply. I take my phone and see how the video gets saved into my phone.

This was all recorded. I get to watch this over and over and over and over again. I get to see us fall in love as many times as I want.

"Grab a cart," Diana commands me as she twirls her brown hair into a twist and clips it up by some type of hair trap. Don't ask me the name. All I know is that her face becomes more accentuated when her hair is pulled back.

She looks pretty as always.

"You grab it." I joke, but Diana stops dead in her tracks. I see it happen. The moment her brain sends her legs the signal to stop moving. She turns around; her head crooked to one side, her eyebrows raised almost reaching the starting point of her hairline. She looks.... intimidating for a five-foot-five girl.

I think my latino fire has been transferring into her.

"Diana, hermosa, I'll grab it. Don't worry." She smiles and kisses my cheek.

"That's what I thought." I walk away con el rabo entre las patas, with my imaginary tail tucked in between my legs. This girl has had me wrapped under her finger for so long and she barely even notices. I would repaint the sky every single day if she asked me to.

"So," I finally reach up to her after grabbing the cart. She's in the jewelry section looking at some silver rings. "Swimsuits?" I ask.

"I'm in my zone Miles. Soon." I wasn't complaining. Wherever she went, I went. I didn't care. I just wanted to be near her. I wanted to feel her, see her, and most importantly kiss her.

"Take your time baby," I say moving the cart out of the way so I can press my front onto her back and kiss her neck. She always smells good. Sometimes like a tropical day with coconut, other days like vanilla and sweets.

"Do you like that one?" She points to a silver ring with a small purple pendant on top. The ring has barely any detail apart from the pendant and little lines that form from it.

"I like this one more." I point to a smaller silver ring. It has a tiny heart-shaped pendant with a flic of periwinkle in the center. It reminds me of her.

"Can I help you guys with anything?" A worker comes up from behind the counter wearing a beautiful purple hijab. It's exactly like the color in the ring Diana first noticed.

"Yes," I answer. "Could you show us this one?" I point to the ring I liked, still holding onto Diana. I hold her like she's a part of me because she is.

"Sure." The worker, who I believe her name is Bajiha, as her name tag says pulls open the counter and gets the ring out. A flex of silver shines as the light hits it. "You can try it on if you'd like." She offers.

I stick it in Diana's finger. "Te gusta? Do you like it?" I repeat my question because I know Diana probably didn't understand.

"Definitely."

"We'll take it," I say and before Diana can protest I place it right back into the box. I'm buying this for her.

"Awesome. Do you want to check out now or plan to see some more?"

"We'll check out later. Thanks for your help."

I pull Diana away from the jewelry section as she complains. Miles you didn't have to do that or miles, I can buy it myself. When will this girl understand that I want to spoil the shit out of her? I would buy her the sky if that was possible even if I ended up bankrupt.

"Allow me to spoil you just a bit," I tell her once we've made it to the swimsuit section. Target is stocking up on those since summer is soon coming.

"Fine." She says and crosses her arms across her chest and pouts. She pouts? Diana looks cute. I kiss the pout.

We have to do some good digging before we're able to find those stupid dinosaur swimsuits. We make a detour and head over to the toy section where I threw every ball I could find to Diana. She was not happy, in a very "I'm totally in love with you, I hate you" moment.

She's going to make me wear the swimsuits soon. But at least I got her the ring. 

Me when I didn't update on Tuesday. Sorry about that, but we are back. Super sorry for the mix up earlier. I ended up putting up the same chapter. 

Anyways, cuteness overload between Diana and Miles. Wow in love with this chapter. 

So how are we? Im pretty good. Have lots of work, but managing.
