I think today is the best day for my trip. I can't take any more headaches from a hangover. How I got a ticket and a visa to Spain to travel two days before New Year's, I don't know. I just knew I needed to pull myself together since Sophia slept at my place, when we drank the entire bottle of Red Label, just the two of us. I haven't stopped drinking since. My mom is disappointed in me, and my dad doesn’t even talk.On Christmas two days ago, my dad said he got me two bottles of vodka as a present. It was a joke. I got a tablet from my parents; it was beautiful, and I almost died crying when I got it.I'm not proud of having drinking so much that I could not remember how the rest of my Christmas was. I don't know. I think I laughed a lot, which is what I needed. Never again in my life shall I drink so much. God forbid I wake up stinking again but, as my father told me: "What's a human being without his first few times?" A saying he told me after giving me the most important sermon of
Hunted By The Player Cheers to work
“Well,” she begins, “there was the airport scandal. He was there to stop you, and you yelled at him in the middle of the airport and left.” She is counting off with each finger, starting with her index finger.“Lie,” I say. “We were talking, just the two of us, in the ladies' room.” She looks at me, not sure whether to believe me. “Never mind, this is the most you should know. Next.”“There's also the part where you cheated on him with your ex.” She counts off the second with her middle finger.“Lie. It was the other way around,” I say, downcast. She widens her eyes at me. She lowers her hand, disregarding the count. I take a deep breath. “We were in the bathroom, and his ex-called, and I accidentally answered his cellphone since ours look the same. And… she was talking about some kiss.”Valentina puts her hands to her mouth.“Please don't say anything to anyone,” I ask of her.“Selena, I would never do anything to harm you.”I nod, very aware of that. “What else?” I ask her to contin

It is almost ten at night when we arrive at the famous Dri's. When Valentina said it was a super trendy club, I thought of something that recently opened and not Dri's. The exact same place I met Hunter for the first time.Valentina is driving. I bend down a little so that no one will photograph us.“Selena!” She is chuckling at me. “You are exaggerating.” She parks her car in a small space. “Now you can get out of the car. There’s no one in the parking lot.”I get out of the car and come face to face with a blue Audi R8 with black accents almost the same colour as my pants. I straighten my clothes, still staring at the car.“Maybe you’ll leave in one of these in a little while.” Valentina winks at me. I look at her and stick my tongue out. It's not very mature, but she is annoying and deserves it.“I just like sports cars, so what?” I shrug and take hold of my little black bag. “Let's go and have that drink waiting for us.” I point to the club’s entrance.And as I predicted, the insi

Hunter.“Are you looking for respect for next year? Purple is not your colour.”Jimmy starts laughing at my stain when I enter the box. But I don't care. I care who got this stain on me.“She's here, Jimmy,” I tell him. My heart is pumping. “Damn, she is here.” The look on my face is mixed with euphoria and nervousness that almost makes me breathless.“Who? The girl I told you I dumped last week.” He presses his face against the glass to find her.“No, you idiot. Selena. Selena is here and will be coming up in a little while,” I speak uneasily.He starts to laugh, and I get serious.“What the fuck is this, Hunter?” he wonders, shaking his head. “Bro, are you delusional? Weren't you whining yesterday because the woman was in Spain?”He continues to laugh, and my expression is even more severe.“You're not kidding.” He finally stops. “Damn, and the woman is coming up here?”“Did you finish the show? I can't believe it. I don't even know what she's doing here.” Hunter sighs, wringing his
Hunted By The Player Big Surprise
Today marks exactly a year since I came to Barcelona for the first time. My only goal was how to improve my resume and take a trip on my own as I started my adult life. I got all that and a bonus: Hunter.Looking out the window at this rainy afternoon, I realise how things have changed in a year for the first time in my life. I've already finished college, I don't often think about my emotional pains anymore, I’ve fallen in love. And suffered, what has mainly changed me. It's weird because lately, I feel more about what I'm going to say, and I may have even learned to look at my cellphone screen to see who's calling, but I still fail occasionally.I look at my right finger, where there's an untanned mark made by the sun where my promise ring was. I wish things had not happened the way they did. Only then do I remember my father's words to the drunkenness I made: ''what is a human being without their first times?” Yes, Dad, I discovered true love for the first time, and I think that's
Hunted By The Player Next phase
Jimmy is excited about going out with Valentina. Jimmy, Valentina. Hunter, Selena. Damn, what a crazy thing. Destiny, are you still here? But going back to my lovebirds, I hope they make such a beautiful couple. I was smiling like a fool. It felt great to be the reason for two people to come together.I take the beautiful new tablet that I got from my parents and check the first website. The time the site posted the news was about half an hour after the photo Hunter posted on his Twitter. I cross my fingers, take a deep breath and start:“This couple wants to make everyone crazy. Yes, Hunter Blanco spent the turn of the year with his ex or current girlfriend. What nobody knew was that they were together again. He wrote on a social network that it was a surprise. We do not believe in surprises.”I laugh at the post. I switch to a different blog.“The former girlfriend of Barcelona player Hunter Blanco is in Spain. Nobody knew the girl was in town, and no paparazzi managed to photograph

Hunter lives practically on the other side of town now, and since I don’t have a car and have no idea how to take the bus, I ask for a taxi. When I ask the taxi driver to park on the corner, I look at the prominent façade of Hunter's house and notice there are many photographers there waiting.*Selena: There are many photographers in front, what do I do?*Hunter: Ask the driver to enter the side garage. It will be open.I do as he instructs me. As soon as the taxi driver enters the garage from the side, he gaps at the home, probably having a good guess on where he is. I pay the fare and get out of the car and hustle towards the front door.I knock on the enormous brown wooden door, which is a stupid thing because I already know he's waiting for me. Waiting... My head is still spinning because of the upheaval in my life and the bothersome headache that refuses to go away even with angry prayers.“I'm coming in,” I shout into the house as I step inside. I search for him right away.“I'
Hunted By The Player Clarifications
Hunter enters the room where only I am with a needle in my right arm’s vein, taking an IV. I have not completely knocked out, just had small flashes of unconsciousness. Dr. Silvia hasn't told me anything about what could be wrong. She just discussed to me about my daily life and listened to how my heart and lungs were doing.“I hate to see you like this,” Hunter grumbles. He pats my hand, which is cold because of the weather.“Do I still look like paper? Am I more pretty?” I'm trying to be funny but he was not laughing.“I hate to see you in bad health. And, by the way, paper-like or not, you are still beautiful.”I roll my eyes because I have no strength to do much else.Dr. Silvia enters the room. She is a woman in her fifties, chubby and short. Her blonde hair has streaks of a modern Chanel look and is peaked at the ends.“Hello again Selena. I already have the results of your exams, and it seems they are not as good as expected.” She opens the diagnostics to read out loud. “You ha
