It had been about two weeks since Anthony and I broke up and we hadn’t told anyone yet. Not our families or our friends. The only person who knew was Lin, but we hadn’t even told him, he had figured it out and we made him promise not to tell anyone else.
Anthony and I had broken up because he had gotten too busy. I didn’t get to see him enough. Like when he was on tour, he just wouldn’t call for a few days or he’d miss our FaceTime calls. It didn’t seem like he wanted to put in the effort. Regardless of that, I still loved him. Even though, I was the one who broke up with him.
I was sitting on my couch and suddenly I heard my phone start to ring. I picked up my phone and saw that Anthony’s mom was calling me. Had Anthony told her yet? Or did she still have no idea we broke up?
I answered the phone and said “Hi Mrs.Ramos, how are you?”. I didn’t know what else to say. What if I said too much and Anthony didn’t want her to know yet? “Hi Y/N sweetheart. I’m good, how are you?” She said.
Then an idea popped in my head. What if something happened to Anthony and that’s why she was calling. I couldn’t stand the thought of something bad happening to him.
“I’m good too, so what’s going on? Is Anthony okay?” I said, feeling worried. “Oh yes Anthony is fine. No need to worry. I was just calling to see if you wanted to come over tomorrow?” She asked me, sounding really happy. There was no way she knew about Anthony and I if she wanted to invite me over.
I didn’t want to be the one to tell her, but I knew I would be overstepping on Anthony if I made plans with her and didn’t tell her what happened. I would never purposely do anything that would hurt him.
“Um Mrs.Ramos, I don’t know if Anthony told you yet. But we broke up a few weeks ago” I said and there was silence for a few seconds. “No, he hadn’t told me, but I had my suspicions. He hasn’t talked about you for a few weeks” she said.
“Has he been talking about another girl?” I said, feeling my heart drop. “No no no, sweet girl. Don’t even worry about that for a second, I know my son and I know he still loves you. I don’t know what happened with you both, but I know he still has feelings for you. He jumps every time his phone goes off, hoping that it’s you” She told me, kindly.
I could feel the blush rising in my cheeks. It really meant a lot to me that he still cared. I really wished that things could of worked out, I wanted nothing more than to call him mine again.
“Oh thank you for telling me that Mrs.Ramos. I just don’t know if we can fix what happened between us” I told her, honestly. “Love can heal all wounds” she said, being optimistic as always.
“So I don’t know if you still want me to come over or not” I said, confused. “No please come over. You’re still family and I haven’t seen you in so long. We can have another girls day” she told me.
Back when Anthony and I were dating, every month I would have a girls day with his mom and we would do something fun like watch movies or do our nails. It had been really important to Anthony that me and his mom had a good relationship. He always said that he wanted his two favorite girls to get along. And he was the same way with my parents and he came with me to a monthly dinner with my parents.
“That sounds wonderful, but I don’t want to overstep. I wouldn’t want to do this behind Anthony’s back. He doesn’t deserve that” I said, cautiously. “The love you have for my son says a lot. But just come over to my house, he won’t be here” she told me. “Okay then I’ll see you tomorrow” I told her, smiling. Then we both said goodbye and hung up.
I felt really nervous about the whole thing, but I guess no harm could come from hanging out with his mom. I pulled out my phone and began to look through all the old photos of me and Anthony. I couldn’t bring myself to delete them and I found myself going through them daily.
We both looked so happy and carefree. I wished with everything in my heart that we could be like that again.
I wiped away a few tears from my eyes and found something on Netflix to watch and distract myself. I ended up watching Netflix all night and then falling asleep on my couch.
I woke up to the beeping of my phone’s alarm clock. I got up and got dressed into a sundress and some heeled boots. I grabbed my phone and then drove to Anthony’s mom’s house.
I parked and saw there were a bunch of cars outside already, I wondered what was going on. I walked up to the door and as I knocked I remembered that today was Anthony’s dad’s birthday. His mom had invited me to a family birthday party, not a girls day. I went to turn and leave and the door opened.
There stood Anthony and his eyes widened when he saw me. “Y/N” he mumbled under his breath, seemingly in shock. “Hi Ant” I said, just as shocked. Neither of us could come up with words to say anything.
Then another person appeared from behind Anthony. I saw his mom standing there.
She swore under her breath and said “Oh Anthony, I forgot to tell you that I invited Y/N”. I couldn’t believe that she tricked me into coming, but I was also really glad I got to see Anthony.
“Ma, why did you invite her?” He asked, turning to face her. I instantly felt bad, he didn’t want me to be here. I said “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be here” and I turned to leave. I wiped a singular tear from my eye.
I heard someone say “Wait don’t go” and then grab my wrist from behind me. Not even thinking, I figured it was his mom. I turned around to see Anthony, standing a few inches in front of me.
“Please stay” he said, just above a whisper. My eyes went between him and his mom, unsure of what to say. He turned around and said “Ma, can you give us a a second?”. She smiled and walked back inside and closed the door.
He turned back to face me and I could feel my cheeks redden. “Hi” he said, softly. “I’ve missed you Ant” was all I could say. “Can we talk?” He asked, I could hear his voice crack a little. “Please” I said, it sounded like I was begging him.
But, I had so much on my mind and I had to talk to him. He interlaced our fingers and started walking towards the bench that was in their front yard. Then he quickly pulled away his hand. I was worried I did something wrong. “I’m sorry, old habits” he said, looking down at the ground almost like he was embarrassed.
“Don’t be” I said softly, and interlaced our hands again. I don’t know what made me do it, maybe I just wanted to pretend things were still normal.
We got to the bench and we sat down next to each other. “Ant, I’m going to be honest. Nothing has felt the same without you. My life feels boring and I’ve missed you so much. It’s only been two weeks, but it feels like years. But, we can’t go back to the way things were. You made me feel ignored and you didn’t spend enough time with me. If we’re going to be together, we have to put in the same amount of effort” I said, pouring my heart out to him.
“I know, I really messed up and you shouldn’t have to deal with that. You deserve someone who will treasure you because you’re amazing Y/N. If you give me a chance, I will make things right. I’ll give you all of my time and I will make sure you feel loved. But I’m begging you to just give me a chance” he said, emotionally.
“I know you will do all those things, you make me feel so happy” I said, interlacing our fingers again. “Does that mean you’ll give me a chance?” He asked, with hope in his eyes. I just smiled and nodded. He stood up and picked me up and spun me around. He placed me back down on my feet.
“Thank you thank you thank you, I love you so much” he said placing kissing all over my face. “I love you too Ant” I said. We both were staring into each other’s eyes. “Y/N, I really want to kiss you right now. But I think we need some privacy, one of my family members could walk out here at any point” he said, softly. “Do you think we can sneak past your family to the guest room?” I asked him.
“Well we’ve done it before” he said, smirking. “Then come on you dork” I said grabbing his hand. We snuck in the door and passed everybody into the guest bedroom.
He closed the door gently, behind us. I pulled him toward me and wrapped my arms around his neck. He placed his hands firmly on my hips and we leaned our foreheads against each other’s
“I’ve missed your kisses” I told him, softly. “Well then come and get them” he said and we both leaned in and connected our lips. I subconsciously played with his hair. He pulled me closer until we were pressed together.
I started backing up, pulling him with me. I sat down on the bed and he lightly pushed me so that I was laying down. He crawled on top of me and gave me a gentle kiss.
He stayed, hovering over me and brushed my hair behind my ear. “If you had any idea how beautiful you look right now” he said, with the biggest smile on his face.
“I’ve missed you so much. I’ve missed waking up to your kisses. I’ve missed having dance parties with you at midnight. I’ve missed cuddling with you when we watch movies. I’ve missed singing with you in the car. Life isn’t as interesting without you around Anthony Ramos” I said, and he kissed my forehead.
“God, do you know how adorable you are? When we get back to my place tonight, we’re going to cuddle all night, no exceptions” he said, sweetly. “I am all for it, two weeks is a lot of cuddling that we’ve missed” I said, giggling.
Then the door sprung open and Anthony jumped so he was sitting next to me on the bed. I sat up and saw that it Anthony’s mom.
“They’re back together” she yelled and we heard the rest of his family start cheering. Both of our cheeks became bright red.
Then his mom marched over to Anthony and we both got kind of nervous. “If you ever ignore Y/N again, you don’t even want to know what will happen” she threatened.
“Woah ma, what are you talking about?” He asked, flinching. “Your uncle was outside smoking a cigarette and he heard you two talking. He heard that Y/N said you made her feel ignored. She is the best thing that ever happened to you mister. You better not mess that up” she said.
“I promise ma, I’m not stupid enough to do that again. I love her too much” he said, as he interlaced our fingers. “Good” she said and then she left the room. “Is all that’s stuff you said to your mom true?” I asked him. “Of course it is babe. I already lost you once, I’m not going to lose you again” he said and he pressed a kiss to my temple.
